Domestic Longhair kittens & cats in Chatham, Illinois

-

Willow, black and white long hair, beautiful girl, is a fooler. Stand offish, stand offish . . . kitty marshmallow. Affectionate cat. Rolls over for tummy pets. Is quite the conversationalist. Her transition into a home will be a little guarded and on her own terms, but in the end there is much love and fun. Her foster moms have experienced it all and will help coach and counsel. Willow was skeptical of her photo session, she kept her ears back a bit -- not her best look. A treasure of a family member any and all times of year. Spayed, up to date on shots and preventatives, 7.5 pounds, just over 10 years. Willow recently underwent a dental and a vet evaluation. It was determined she would be best maintained on hydrolyzed protein food (bit of a history of ear infections, other slight symptoms).

Meet Gus, a dignified ten-year-old longhaired brown tabby with a gentle soul and a love for human companionship. With his luxurious coat and wise, soulful eyes, Gus is a charming and elegant presence in any room. He adores the company of people and enjoys quiet, relaxed moments spent together. Gus would thrive best in a peaceful home without the hustle and bustle of young children, where he can be the center of attention and showered with affection. If you're seeking a calm, loving companion to share your serene space, Gus is the perfect match for you. If you are interested in adopting or meeting Gus, fill out an application at apl-shelter.org (for adopting) or come visit in-person at the Animal Protective League, 1001 Taintor Road in Springfield. The APL is open every day from noon to 5 p.m.

River is a super handsome, smallish, male kitty, about one-year-old, who came to us as a stray. When he first arrived, we thought he was a bit feral. But one day when we were getting ready to send him to a barn home, he rolled over and let us pet his tummy! He was telling us we were wrong and that he wanted to be an inside cat living with a family! LOL! This boy is so loving and thrives on attention! River is small in stature but makes up for it with his HUGE heart of gold. He will do great in a home with dogs, cats and kids who are respectful of his space. He's a great little guy waiting for a loving home of his very own. And of course, weekly gentle brushing and a toy or two would make him even more happy! ........ We do ADOPTIONS BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.
