Story
Biography Pippin, who's like a little Hobbit, was found outside my door not long before the first snow of the year, so after checking the neighborhood, waiting, checking lost pet ads, I took him in to keep him indoors. Unfortunately, my old cat is very stressed by Pippin's presence, and I can't seem to blend their lives. I want Pippin to find a happy forever home. Pet Attributes: *needs quiet home, *comfortable in apartments, *enjoys company, *calm, *gentle, *sweet, *sensitive, *loyal, *shy, *prefers relaxed lifestyle, *content with indoor life, *content with moderate activity, *needs enrichment activities, *familiar with home life, *healthy, *content indoors, *litter box trained, *enjoys window watching, *low maintenance grooming, *enjoys catnip, & *enjoys cuddling

Story
This sweet boy was abandoned near our home. He is not microchipped and no one claimed him following report to local shelters. Our vet examined, neutered, and administered his shots. He is a very sweet, docile boy but we have three other adult cats and two of those refuse to tolerate him. We are hoping to rehome him. We live in Rockford but are often in Janesville and Madison, WI if it would be helpful for us to coordinate drop off closer to new home.

Story
Name: Jackson PollockBreed: DSHDOB: 4/27/2025Good with kids: YESGood with dogs: YESGood with cats: YESFoster location:  Cherry Valley, IL Adoption fee: $100 Special! Fun Bio: If interested in a pet from us please fill out the adoption application that is located on our website.  We process applications in the order in which they are received.   We always recommend playtime, positive reinforcement training and a regular schedule for feeding times when bringing a new cat/kitten into your home. Adjustment takes time for both you and your new family member, so remember to be patient and enjoy this new and exciting time! Included in the adoption fee are age appropriate vaccinations, FeLV/FIV testing (done at 26 weeks), deworming, spay or neuter surgery, and microchip. Anti-Declawing Policy: All cats and kittens will have a no declaw policy in their adoption contract with us!   Declawing is a series of bone amputations.  Declawing is more accurately described by the term de-knuckling and is not merely the removal of the claws, as the term “declawing” implies.  In humans, fingernails grow from the skin, but in animals that hunt prey, the claws grow from the bone; therefore, the last bone is amputated so the claw cannot re-grow.  Declawing is one of the most painful, routinely performed procedures in all of veterinary medicine.  Each toe of the cat is amputated at the first joint.  Declawing a cat is equivalent in a person to amputating the entire first knuckle of every finger.  Declawing is done strictly for the benefit of the owner.  There are NO benefits to the cat and NO good reasons to declaw. Declawing can lead to behavior changes.  A declawed cat has no way to defend itself and may resort to biting more often.  Due to pain, they may stop using the litter box.  There are humane alternatives to declawing.  Cats can be trained to use scratching posts.  They should have their nails trimmed regularly.  There is double sided sticky tape that can be put on furniture to deter a cat from scratching there.  There are also nail caps called Soft Paws that are glued onto a cat's nail without harm.   ##2446328##

Name:  EvieBreed: DSHDOB: 01/01/2025Good with kids: YESGood with dogs: YESGood with cats: YESFoster location:  Pingree Grove, IL Adoption fee: $200 a kitten or $350 for a pair of kittens under 2 years of age. Fun Bio: Kittens need to hit 2 pounds (usually around 10–12 weeks old) before they can be spayed or neutered. We try to schedule their surgeries as close to that mark as possible, but of course it depends on the vet’s availability. This all has to happen before they’re ready for adoption—so once they’re fixed, they’ll be on their way to their forever homes!  If interested in a pet from us please fill out the adoption application that is located on our website.  We process applications in the order in which they are received.   We always recommend playtime, positive reinforcement training and a regular schedule for feeding times when bringing a new cat/kitten into your home.
