**CURRENTLY BEING HOUSE AT OUR FOREPAWS LOCATION**Located at 453 Ridge Road in Minooka. Open for viewing/adoptions during their regular business hours. Must apply in person.Feel free to call Forepaws for details at 779-456-7899Meet Solace, a two-year-old medium-haired beauty who came to our facility back in December after being surrendered from a home where she had been living in a backyard shed with several other cats. That early start made her a little shy at first, but with patience and kindness, Solace has shown what a sweet and gentle soul she truly is. Solace is a bashful girl who blossoms with soft voices, gentle pets, and calm scratches. Once she feels safe, she quietly enjoys the affection and will happily soak up love in her own peaceful way. She does very well with other cats, though she tends to keep to herself, embracing her independent nature. Solace would thrive in a calm, understanding home where she can take her time settling in and being herself. If you’re looking for a quiet, gentle companion who will reward your patience with soft affection and steady companionship, Solace may be the perfect match for you. Her adoption fee is $80, and includes her vaccines, fecal exam, deworming, registered microchip, FIV/FeLV test, current on flea preventive, and spay. She is already fixed. Call our office for adoption details at 815-725-0333.

Must apply in person.Feel free to call Forepaws for details at 779-456-7899Leif is a five-month-old sweetheart with a gentle soul and the softest eyes. When he first arrived as a stray, he was unsure and overwhelmed by the big, busy world around him. New sounds and unfamiliar faces were a lot for this bashful boy. But with time, patience, and kindness, Leif has truly blossomed. He’s discovered that people can be safe, cozy spots are the best, and wet food is one of life’s greatest joys. While he may still be a little shy at first, once he feels comfortable, his quiet affection shines through. There’s something so special about earning the trust of a sensitive kitten like Leif. Leif absolutely loves other cats and gains confidence from his feline friends. He would thrive in a home with another friendly cat to show him the ropes and help him continue building his confidence. If you have a calm home, a kind heart, and maybe a kitty companion waiting, Leif is ready to grow into your most loyal little shadow — especially if there’s wet food involved. His adoption fee is $80, and includes his vaccines, fecal exam, deworming, registered microchip, FIV/FeLV test, current on flea preventive, and neuter. He is already fixed.

Must apply in person.Feel free to call Forepaws for details at 779-456-7899Funhouse is a two-year-old tabby with a cool, confident vibe and a personality all his own. He’s an independent guy who knows what he likes — and what he likes most is living life on his terms. He does well with other cats and coexists peacefully, but he’s not the clingy type. Funhouse is perfectly content finding his favorite sunny spot, lounging nearby, and observing the world with those thoughtful tabby eyes. He enjoys affection, but he appreciates a home that understands and respects his independent nature. If there’s one way to his heart, it’s wet food. Bring out a can and you’ll see his softer side shine through. Funhouse would do best in a home that values a laid-back, low-maintenance companion — the kind of cat who doesn’t demand constant attention but is always quietly present. If you’re looking for a handsome, self-sufficient roommate with classic tabby charm, Funhouse might just be your guy. His adoption fee is $80, and includes his vaccines, fecal exam, deworming, registered microchip, FIV/FeLV test, current on flea preventive, and neuter. He is already fixed.

Elio is a certified couch potato who would be perfectly content spending his days curled up next to you, soaking in all the love and comfort he can get. He does great with other cats and would enjoy having a feline friend to lounge around with.

Story
Meet Pawla! This one-year-old beauty joined us in December as a stray, and while her journey started a little under the weather with a kitty cold (upper respiratory infection), she’s now feeling so much better and ready to find her forever home! Pawla just needed a little extra TLC in our care, and she handled it like a champ. Pawla is a curious, adventurous girl who loves to explore her surroundings and see what’s going on. She does well with other cats and would likely enjoy having a feline friend to hang out with. When it’s mealtime, especially if wet food is involved, she’s front and center — it’s definitely the way to her heart! Now healthy and thriving, Pawla is ready to leave her stray days behind and settle into a home where she can continue to blossom. If you’re looking for a sweet, inquisitive companion with a love for snacks and exploring, Pawla might just be your girl. Her adoption fee is $80, and includes her vaccines, fecal exam, deworming, registered microchip, FIV/FeLV test, current on flea preventive, and spay. She is already fixed. Call our office for adoption details at 815-725-0333. Located in Joliet, IL

Must apply in person.Feel free to call Forepaws for details at 779-456-7899If you’re looking for a cat with springs in his feet and mischief on his mind, Pogo is your guy. This eight-month-old black beauty is all energy, all fun, all the time. Pogo lives up to his name — bouncing from toy to toy, launching into surprise attacks on unsuspecting feather wands, and turning every room into his personal playground. He loves to play and would happily spend his day chasing, pouncing, and inventing new games. He absolutely adores other cats and especially loves a good wrestling match. If there’s a feline friend willing to rumble, Pogo is ready. He thrives on that playful interaction and would do best in a home with another energetic cat who can keep up with his “kitty menace” lifestyle. Underneath all that zoomy chaos is a young cat just looking for fun, companionship, and a home that appreciates his spirited personality. If your house could use more laughter, more action, and a little harmless trouble, Pogo is ready to bounce right in. His adoption fee is $80, and includes his vaccines, fecal exam, deworming, registered microchip, FIV/FeLV test, current on flea preventive, and neuter. He is already fixed. Call our office for adoption details at 815-725-0333.
