Kittens and cats in Ottawa, Illinois

Great cat all around, always laying down or sleeping. Good with kids, Not sure about other animals. He had asthma which you really can’t tell he will cough a little bit from purring like a tickle in his throat otherwise no asthma issues. Really only likes to eat wet food or meow mix.

Luna is a beautiful tortoiseshell cat who will be turning three this September. She came into my care about a year ago after her previous owner passed away, and she’s been slowly adjusting and growing more comfortable ever since. Luna has a quiet, observant nature and prefers to take her time building trust. She’s independent but shows a talkative, playful, and curious side—especially when it comes to interactive attention, laser pointers and toys that crinkle. She would do best with a patient, understanding owner who can give her space and let her come out of her shell at her own pace. Luna enjoys having freedom to move around and does not do well being confined. Luna still needs to be spayed and brought up to date on her veterinary care. I’m looking for a home that can provide her with the medical attention she needs and a calm, stable environment where she can continue to grow. With time and the right care, Luna has the potential to become a wonderful and loyal companion.

His situation is a bit complicated, and he's spent most of his life in rescue. He was trapped as an older kitten with the intent of socializing for adoption. Unfortunately, his foster was unable to spend the time required to work with him, so he either needed to go back outside or be moved to a different foster. Cold weather was already here, so the decision was made to move him to a different foster. He's still quite fearful, but is very motivated by food. When he was confined to a cage, he learned so enjoy pets. Now that he has the run of the house, he's not easy to catch. At this point, he may never be a cuddly house cat. He loves other cats, and his behavior is much more relaxed when he's with his cat friends. He may have to go live in a barn, but he has spent so much time indoors, we hope to avoid that. . At this point, we aren't sure, but he's spent enough time here. If you are either an incredible person who wants to give this boy a home despite his fear, or if you have a very safe shop, barn, etc, please apply here! safehousepets.orgVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.All of our cats have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, de-wormed, microchipped, and tested for FIV/FeLV.

Kindle is about 5 1/2 years old as of November, 2025.   His intake picture shows the need for his rescue! He's been with us in rescue since March of 2025 and we have treated and helped him physically recover from the critical condition in which he was found. Kindle and a feline buddy (Sammy) showed up on a farm. Their story to that point is not known. Sammy had been shaved in what appeared to be professional cut and Kindle's hair appeared to have been cut yet not shaved. Sammy was not as physically ill as Kindle was, yet before we could get to help them, Sammy was hit by a car and humane euthanasia was required. We were so sad about Sammy, yet we were so happy to still be able to help Kindle. He's now neutered, vaccinated and healthy yet the trauma from whatever occurred to him mentally remains. He is a very scared boy, non-aggressive and he needs a special home that is quiet where love and patience can be given for as long as it may take to let him trust again. This will take time and we are not certain to what level he will grow to; he may never be a lap cat and that's ok! From his foster: My sweet Kindle I’m not sure what his story is but I know that it broke his heart. He is not a true feral but resorted back to being scared of humans during his life. He loves to take churu treats from me and I have finally after almost a year earned his trust to see his demeanor change from scared to calm during pets. He's absolutely stunning! He's not happy in rescue and we know he will move forward and thrive in a home. He sure deserves one; he's lucky to have survived.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.All of our cats have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, de-wormed, microchipped, and tested for FIV/FeLV.
