Domestic Longhair kittens & cats in Rockford, Illinois

Brinley came to us as a heavily pregnant stray cat. She had 4 beautiful kittens which she cared for and was an exceptional mom cat! Melba had a similar story, came to us pregnant as a mostly feral (but never aggressive) cat. She raised her babies in foster and has been slowly learning to trust us humans. The two girls became very bonded, eat together, sleep together and find comfort in each other. They need an experienced cat home.Please submit an application at pawshs.org and NOT a Petfinder inquiry as they may not be answered due to the volume of these inquiries received.

Name:  Daphne BridgertonBreed: DLH/TabbyDOB: 3/18/2026Good with kids: YESGood with dogs: YESGood with cats: YESFoster location:  Chicago, IL  Adoption fee: $200 a kitten or $350 for a pair of kittens under 2 years of age. Fun Bio: The diamond of them all. This gorgeous little lady acts more like a tomboy! She is not shy and is all about roughhousing with her brothers. Daphne plays with every toy and every sibling and everything she sees. She doesn't mind being held, but is gone in an instant if something catches her eye. Daphne especially loves scratches under her chin and behind her ears. She will sit on foster momma's lap for cuddles and scratches. 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.   ##2725071##

Sally is 2 y/o and is such a sweet heart. She gets along great with other cats and dogs. She loves to eat so she is a chunker muncker. She weighs 13lbs. Because of this, we usually have her shaved because she is unable to keep herself clean or groomed properly. I am in school to be a nurse and do not have time to care for her like she deserves. We are looking for someone who is willing to take her into their loving family.
