Story
I took in a Cat someone kicked out after they moved. He was outside for a couple of days till I took Him in. I have had Cats growing up, but haven't had one in 20 years. Now, it seems I am having allergic reactions, which I never did. Must have developed an allergy as I aged. I really don't want to re-home Him, but it isn't fair to Him, if I can't properly care and play with Him.

Story
She is originally a farm cat… she is skittish and scared, until she warms up to you. But she needs a good home. I’m a single mom and just can’t handle it anymore and she deserves better than just to sit around in an apartment all day by herself, not getting attention. She moves to the beat of her own drum and most of the time doesn’t even like to be picked up because she’s so skittish. So looking for someone really patient and loving.

Her birthday November 28 2025. She’s so cute and sweet. She knows some sign language too since I’m deaf.I cannot afford her at the moment unfortunately too. My daughter is mean to cats so it’s not a good home for her as of now.

Story
Name:  Huckleberry FinnBreed: Domestic LonghairDOB: 3/27/2026Good with kids: YESGood with dogs: YESGood with cats: YESFoster location:  Wisconsin Dells, WI Adoption fee: $200 a kitten or $350 for a pair of kittens under 2 years of age. Fun Bio: Huck Finn is a laid-back fluffy tan and white with sharp amber eyes and an independent streak as wide as the Mississippi River. Named after the adventurous wanderer from classic literature, Huck is happiest when he's exploring new territory, slipping through open doors, or discovering hidden napping spots no one else can find.Unlike his more mischievous friend Tom Sawyer, Huck prefers freedom and curiosity over elaborate schemes. He's resourceful, fearless, and always ready for a quiet adventure, whether that means prowling the household at dawn or investigating every rustle and shadow. Though he values his independence, Huck is deeply loyal to the people he trusts, often appearing at just the right moment for a comforting purr or a companionable cuddle.With his easygoing charm, adventurous spirit, and quiet confidence, Huck Finn is the kind of kitten who makes every day feel like a journey waiting to happen. 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. 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.   ##2751122##

Fun Bio:   Meet Biscuit! Looking for a little tuxedo troublemaker to add some fun to your life? Meet Biscuit, an adventurous and curious 3-month-old male tuxedo kitten with a BIG personality! Biscuit was found hiding under a deck and rescued by A Little R&R Animal Sanctuary. He’s now living his best foster life in McHenry, IL, and he’s ready to find his forever family! A few of Biscuit’s favorite things: Chasing your toes under the blankets Going wild for stick toys Carrying little balls around in his mouth like his prized possessions Being your best buddy for a lazy Sunday afternoon of binge-watching And, of course… WET FOOD! Biscuit had three orange brothers, who have all been adopted. He’s the last one left from his litter, and while he’s getting lots of love in foster care, he would really love a young feline playmate to chase around, wrestle with, and share those crazy kitten zoomies with! He’s playful, curious, silly, and affectionate—and he’s ready for a family who will love watching his little personality blossom. Biscuit is currently in foster care in McHenry, IL and is looking for his forever home! Could Biscuit be the missing piece to your family?
