Story
My name is Phil, and I have 2 brothers, Ken and Marty. We used to live under the deck of 2 cool math teachers. I liked it outside and didn't really think we needed to move indoors, but the nutty math people thought it made sense to bring us inside before the weather got cold. Whatever?! My brothers are totally into humans and don't even bother acting fierce. I like to act really fierce and see if I can scare anyone. My foster mom always just laughed at me and said that my tiny hisses didn't scare her. She said I was like a sour patch kid: sour then sweet. Whatever that means. I do like snuggling with my brothers and I like playing with wand toys. I hope that whoever adopts me will invest in some wand toys. And maybe a few toy mice, because I'm a really good hunter. And I kind of hope I get adopted with one of my brothers so I don't have to get used to anyone new. That would be a total drag. I am neutered and up-to-date on my FVRCP and Rabies vaccines. I am currently staying at our Heartland Facility! We are open Thursday 4pm-7pm, Friday 4pm-7pm, Saturday Noon-6pm and Sunday Noon-6pm. Feel free to stop by to meet me! No appointment necessary.

Story
Meet Allie: a beautiful, medium-haired senior who defines the benefits of adopting mature love. Allie's world recently shifted when she lost her longtime human, bringing her to Heartland. At 13, she is a remarkably quiet senior girl who has the art of domestic peace down to a science. Forget shredded curtains and 3 AM zoomies; Allie is looking for a serene companion. Why Allie is the perfect fit for a focused professional or quiet home: Minimal Disruption: She is settled, litter-trained, and respectful of your routine. Maximum Comfort: Allie requires only a quiet space, gentle pets, and the occasional sunbeam. She's a ready-made lap warmer. The Power of Loyalty: Senior pets offer a profound, lasting bond, enriching your life with dependable affection. Help us find the right person to welcome this sweet, quiet companion into their home. The greatest legacy we can honor her past owner with is finding Allie a loving forever future. Allie is 4 paw declawed before coming to Heartland, spayed, up-to-date on her FVRCP and Rabies vaccinations, and FIV and FeLV negative. Allie is currently staying in a lovely foster home. Email cats@heartlandanimalshelter.org to set up a time to meet them!

Story
Meet Zuzu! This beautiful gal has aged like fine wine and has mastered the art of being a cat: she knows exactly how to get comfortable on a lap, she appreciates the finer things in life (like treats and belly rubs), and she has plenty of love left to give! 💕 While she enjoys the quiet life of a lap cat, Zuzu is far from "old and boring." She still has her playful bursts of energy! She’s the best of both worlds: she’ll keep you entertained with her playful antics, then settle down for a warm cuddle session. She is looking for a comfy home where she can retire in style, making biscuits on a warm lap, and sharing her loud, happy purr. She is also looking for someone who understands that sometimes she just wants her own space. Though starting with a good Churu treat is one way to work yourself into her heart. ❤️ Zuzu's original owner surrendered her to Chicago Animal Care and Control in hopes of her finding a better home. She is sweet and Sassy in all the best ways, but we know that home is out there! Zuzu is currently staying in a lovely foster home. Email cats@heartlandanimalshelter.org to set up a time to meet them! Zuzu is spayed, up-to-date on FVRCP and Rabies vaccinations and FIV/FeLV negative.

Story
Ralphie is an adorable tuxedo kitten who recently arrived at Heartland with his brother, Richie, from one of our amazing rescue partners. While Richie jumped right into the spotlight, Ralphie is taking a little more time to come out of his shell — but trust us, he’s worth the wait. Gentle , a little shy and observant, Ralphie is the kind of kitten who’ll melt your heart with quiet cuddles and soft purrs once he feels safe and loved. He's already neutered, FeLV/FIV negative, and up-to-date on his FVRCP and Rabies vaccines, so he’s all set to start the next chapter of his life with you! Looking for a pair of kittens to complete your home? Ralphie and Richie would love to stay together — double the tuxedo, double the fun (and snuggles)! Ralphie is currently staying at our Heartland Facility! We are open Thursday 4pm-7pm, Friday 4pm-7pm, Saturday Noon-6pm and Sunday Noon-6pm. Feel free to stop by to meet him! No appointment necessary. Ralphie is neutered, FeLV/FIV negative, and up-to-date on FVRCP and rabies vaccinations.
