Story
Meet Woody.... the little comedic daredevil.Woody's story started with quite the adventure. This handsome brown tabby was found abandoned at a local ball park in June, where he decided the safest place to hide was...under the hood of a parked car! Thankfully, his rescue had a happy ending.At around 3½ months old, Woody is equal parts comedian, athlete, and cuddle bug. He loves being held, zooms around at lightning speed, chases anything that moves, and puts on an Olympic-worthy show of backflips when a feather toy comes out. Woody is healthy, bathed, dewormed, flea treated, neutered, and up-to-date on his vaccines. His rehoming fee includes the cost of his neuter.Our county shelter is a kill shelter, so I am trying to find Woody the safe, loving forever home he deserves. Willing to travel to meet adopter partway, if needed. Please, no declawing — it is painful and inhumane. If you’d like more photos of Woody, please reach out to me. Serious, loving homes only. Thank you - Nicola

Story
Meet Kylie... the little calico princess with the softest meow!Don't let her shy first impression fool you. She'll happily accept hugs, pets, and a cozy spot beside you. She has the sweetest, tiniest meow that will melt your heart. She's not one to make a lot of noise!This beautiful little calico, with her peach, gray, and white patchwork coat, was heartbreakingly dumped in the countryside with her brothers in July. Thankfully, her days of wondering where her next meal or safe nap would come from are over. Now she's looking for a forever family.At 2½ months young, Kylie is healthy, spayed, vaccinated, bathed, dewormed, flea treated, and full of gentle kitten charm.Our county shelter is a kill shelter, so I am trying to find Kylie the safe, loving forever home she deserves. Willing to travel to meet adopter partway, if needed. Please, no declawing — it is painful and inhumane.If you’d like more photos of Kylie, please reach out to me. Serious, loving homes only.

Story
Hi, my name is Freckles and I'm about 4 1/2 years old.  I was a stray and rescued by a BCHS volunteer, and brought to Bond County Humane Society to find a loving permanent home. I am playful and like to chase bouncy balls. I like to get to know you before I want to be petted.  Of course, this is all on my terms.  I determine when and how long you can pet me.  I love to explore and look in all the nooks and crannies around the shelter. I am considered Special Needs for a couple reasons.  First, I tested positive for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus).  FIV is comparable to AIDS in people. It is transmitted to other cats by scratching or biting. There is not a vaccine available to provide immunity to other cats so I need to be the only cat in the household or live with other FIV positive cats. I can have a normal life expectancy of a cat. The most important things for me are a low stress environment, good quality food and regular veterinarian care.  Second, I was also diagnosed with IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease) which requires me to have a special diet.  It is extremely important for me to stay healthy.  I get along well with the other cats who have been in the FIV room at the shelter.  I am available for immediate adoption.  I am spayed, UTD on vaccinations, tested for FeLV/FIV, treated for internal and external parasites and micro chipped.  My adoption fee has been waived.  If you are interested in making me a member of your family please complete an Adoption Profile in person or on-line at www.bondcohumane.org .  Email the completed profile to the address provided.  A copy of our policy regarding warranties, refunds and returns is available upon request.

Story
Hi, my name is Dove and I'm about 15 weeks old.  I was surrendered to Bond County Humane Society with 2 other kittens from a home with too many kittens. When we were surrendered, we were placed in a foster home because all 3 of us needed to be bottle fed for a couple of weeks. Now we are all eating fine and ready to be adopted!  Two of us are Siamese flame-tipped mixes. My foster mom says we are very well-behaved. We love to play with each other and all the toys! I am spayed, UTD on vaccinations, tested for FeLV/FIV, treated for internal and external parasites and micro chipped.  My adoption fee is $160.
