Bionic is the sweetest boy with such a sad story. He was found after he had been shot. Luckily he survived after medical care. He did have to have his leg amputated. That does not stop him from being the loving cat that he is. He gets around just fine with 3 legs. He is also FIV positive so he will need a home with no cats or cats that are friendly. FIV is only transmitted through deep punctures.If you are looking for a sweet and loving guy Bionic is for you.Please fill out an application from our website.

Story
✨ Introducing the “Z Team”! ✨Five little kittens, all with names that start with Z, are ready to zig-zag their way into your heart!🐾 Zaylee, Zenda, Zadie, and Zara – our fabulous foursome of torbie sisters – are full of spunk, sweetness, and stripes. Each one has her own little flair but they all share the same talent for turning anything into a toy (including your shoelaces).🐾 Zeb – the dashing brother – is the only boy in the crew. With his ginger and white coat, he’s the perfect mix of playful and snuggly, and he’s not afraid to show his sisters how it’s done.This litter is currently growing up in a foster home, learning all the important kitten skills (like zoomies at 3 a.m. and purr therapy). They’ll be ready to meet their forever families once they turn 8 weeks old after September 5th.If you’re ready to add a little “zing” to your life, one of these Z-names might be your perfect match! 💕Apply to adopt at EffinghamCountyHumaneSociety.org

🎤✨ Debuting Now: The Huntrix Kittens — Rumi, Mira, and Zoey! ✨🎤Fresh from their trainee days, this brand-new girl group has just arrived at the shelter—and while they’re still finding their rhythm, we can already tell they’re going to be meow-jor stars.These three are currently in their “soft debut” era—nervous, quiet, and keeping things low-key—but with time, love, and a little emotional fan support, they’ll be ready to headline your heart in no time.💿 Rumi (tabby), Mira (tortie), and Zoey (black) may not be center stage just yet, but the potential is idol-worthy. They’re just waiting for their solo moments to shine. Think of them as your favorite kind of slow-burn: shy at first, but once they open up? Total stan-worthy icons.So if you're ready to be a part of their official fandom and give them the safe, loving home they need to grow into their true selves, now's your chance to get in on the ground floor of something special. Trust us—the glow-up is coming.Apply to adopt at effinghamcountyhumanesociety.orgTheir adoption fee includes spay, age-appropriate vaccines, flea/tick prevention, dewormer, and a microchip that we register for you.
