Kittens and cats in Roscoe, Illinois

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.

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.

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 will likely not respond to interest emails regarding puppies and/or kittens, we get so many "interest" emails that we simply do not have the time to respond to each one.  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, 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 amputates 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 litterbox.  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 naile cat’s nails without harm. ##2079813##

Name: KuroBreed: DSHDOB: 4/13/2025Good with kids: YESGood with dogs: YESGood with cats: YESFoster location:  Rockford, IL Adoption fee: $100 Fun Bio: Kuro came into foster care from a shelter in Chicago.She was two weeks old. Sick. Fragile. A bottle baby who needed more than just a home — she needed round-the-clock care, warmth, patience, and hope. She was unable to open her eyes because of her upper respiratory infection. Except for her eyes, Kuro grew and recovered from her illness. Despite constant care and warm compresses Kuro was unable to see. She needed surgery. Awesome eye specialists at UW were able to surgically open her eyelids. In spite of the damage caused by infection, Kuro has a little vision. She's now a special needs girl who needs a home safe from predators, stairs, and heights. Kuro loves ear scratches — the kind that make her head tip way over! She loves treats and exploring.
