**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 Tucker, a one-year-old sweetheart who’s ready to find his forever home! Tucker was found as a stray in the local area and, sadly, was never reclaimed. Despite that, he hasn’t let his past dull his friendly spirit. Tucker is the kind of cat who greets you with a happy flick of his tail and affectionate head butts, making you feel instantly welcome. He does wonderfully with other cats and enjoys having feline friends to explore with — especially if that exploration includes hopping up to investigate (and occasionally share!) the kitchen sink. Playful, social, and full of charm, Tucker would thrive in a home where he can continue making friends and being his lovable, curious self. If you’re looking for a friendly companion with a touch of silly sink-loving personality, Tucker is 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. Call our office for adoption details at 815-725-0333.

Must apply in person.Feel free to call Forepaws for details at 779-456-7899Meet 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.

Must apply in person.Feel free to call Forepaws for details at 779-456-7899Meet Phantom, Ghost & Spirit – From Basement Shadows to Loving CompanionsIntroducing Phantom, Ghost, and Spirit — three five-month-old kitties ready to find their forever homes. Recently surrendered after growing up in a basement, these sweet souls came to us under-socialized, overwhelmed, and beyond stressed in their new environment. The world felt big and scary at first. But with patience, gentle care, and plenty of love, they’ve completely transformed. The once timid trio has blossomed into affectionate, purring companions who now seek out attention and happily soak up being held and petted. They’ve discovered that people can be pretty wonderful after all. They do great with other cats and absolutely adore snuggles. Whether adopted together or separately, each of these little spirits is ready to leave their shadowy beginnings behind and start a bright new chapter filled with love, comfort, and companionship. Come meet Phantom, Ghost, and Spirit — and watch how quickly they’ll haunt your heart in the very best way. They are not bonded. Their adoption fee is $80 each, and includes their vaccines, fecal exam, deworming, registered microchip, FIV/FeLV test, current on flea preventive, and neuter. They are already fixed.

Must apply in person.Feel free to call Forepaws for details at 779-456-7899Meet Opaline, a beautiful two-year-old tuxedo with a calm, charming presence. She enjoys your company and gentle pets, making her a lovely companion without being overly demanding. Opaline has a soft spot for wet food and certainly won’t say no to an extra snack or two. She does well with other cats given a slow introduction and, as an independent girl, is happy to peacefully coexist with her feline housemates. Opaline would be a great match for a home looking for a low-key, affectionate companion. 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.

Must apply in person.Feel free to call Forepaws for details at 779-456-7899Meet Thiago, a seven-year-old cat with a gentle soul who is looking for a fresh start. Thiago came to us after being abandoned in an apartment when his owners moved away, and the sudden change understandably left him feeling a bit down. While shelter life has been an adjustment, he’s been bravely working through his stress and is beginning to come out of his shell more each day. Thiago has lived with multiple cats in the past and continues to do well with feline companions, often finding comfort in their presence. He would thrive in a quiet, patient home that understands he may need time to settle in and rebuild his confidence. With kindness, stability, and a little understanding, Thiago has all the potential to blossom into a loving and loyal companion. If you have a calm home and a soft spot for a cat who just needs a chance, Thiago may be the perfect match for you. 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 779-456-7899Meet Orion, a three-year-old sweetheart with a story of resilience. Orion was brought to us as a stray with a wound on his neck, but with a little TLC and a course of antibiotics, he healed up beautifully. Now that he’s feeling his best, he’s ready to find a forever home where he can truly shine. Orion has a mellow, easygoing personality that makes him a wonderful companion. He enjoys the simple things in life — a cozy spot to lounge, gentle pets, and the quiet company of his people. He does well with other cats and would fit nicely into a home with feline friends or as a laid-back solo companion. After everything he’s been through, Orion deserves a safe, loving home where he can relax and be cherished. If you’re looking for a calm, kind-hearted cat to complete your family, Orion may be your perfect match.
