Domestic Longhair kittens & cats in Harvard, Illinois

-

A beautiful long- haired grey cat like myself should never have to beg. But, maybe a polite request for your attention? You see, I`m here in `the small animal room` at the Shelter, and a lot of folks overlook me. Most days that`s okay because I don`t like a lot of stimuli-- keep the noise down and don`t put me in with a lot of cats. I really like when my volunteer picks me up and holds me. And I`m just fine with getting petted until I`ve had enough--I twitch my tail faster and my volunteer knows to put me down again. Now, that isn`t too difficult is it, Santa ? I just need someone to adopt me who pays attention and would like petting me, maybe in a nice quiet home with a soft couch ???. Remember, whoever my human is will be getting a beautiful cat who will be their cat furever. Thanks for sharing my letter, Santa, because sometimes it`s a little lonely here. Sincerely yours, Miss SuniSuni came to the shelter as a stray in March of 2024•4 years old•Negative for FIV/FeLv•Microchip •Spayed•Not sure about other animals- will coexist with them but would rather not cuddle them??•Would do best in a quiet home Come visit Suni at the shelter during open hours Monday-Friday 12p-5p, Saturday 11a-4p

Hi! I'm Fern! I am the fluffiest fluffy butt you might ever meet. I am like a tiny little house lion, but with a floofy collar instead of a mane. My favorite hobbies include being a secret ninja, playing hide and seek (but without the seek), sleeping in random locations, and getting my steps in. I came from a hoarding house and am still unsure of attention from people. If I run away from you, please don't be offended. It's the ninja side of me—I need to stay stealthy! And it doesn't mean I don't want a home of my own. I want a home where I feel safe and can find new locations for napping and ninja stuff! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Included in our adoption fee, all of our kitties are vaccinated, FELV / FIV tested, dewormed, microchipped, spayed / neutered, and checked out by a veterinarian.

Hi! I'm Bobby! I am a sweet and fluffy kitty. I am bonded with my (gorgeous!) best friend, Shiloh, and we do need to go home together. (We would love a quieter home without young kids or dogs, please.) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Included in our adoption fee, all of our kitties are vaccinated, FELV / FIV tested, dewormed, microchipped, spayed / neutered, and checked out by a veterinarian.

Name: Oliver TwistBreed: DLHDOB:  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: Oliver Twist is a handsome short tan haired kitten with soulful amber eyes and an irresistibly hopeful expression. Named after the beloved literary character, Oliver has a gentle nature and a talent for winning hearts wherever he goes. One look at his sweet face, and it's easy to imagine him politely asking, “Please, sir, may I have some more?”—especially when treats are involved.Though modest and well-mannered, Oliver possesses a quiet determination. He approaches every challenge with curiosity, whether it's figuring out how to open a cabinet door or finding the coziest spot in the house. He may start out shy around strangers, but his affectionate personality soon shines through, earning him friends wherever he wanders.Oliver loves comfort, companionship, and the simple pleasures of life. He enjoys curling up with a favorite book, following his humans from room to room, and basking in sunbeams as if they were made just for him. Beneath his gentle demeanor is a resilient spirit that makes him both endearing and unforgettable.With his kindness, charm, and touch of old-fashioned elegance, Oliver Twist is the kind of kitten who turns every house into a home. 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.   ##2751127##
