Story
Phantom was adopted from a pet store event in 2014. Phantom loves the outside. He is a barn cat, a porch cat, a yard cat and before we adopted him we were told he was also a house cat. When inside the house, he knows how to find the most comfortable place to lay. He is 15. He is 17 lbs. He is up to date on his physical and all vaccinations. He uses a litter box inside or outside the house. He loves canned or dry food. He loves to lay on a pillow or blanket. He likes to lay in your lap and be petted a lot. He is calm, not afraid of noise and he is used to being around other cats. We are moving from our house with a nice yard and barn to an 2 bedroom apartment that does not take pets.

Story
Hi, my name is Freckles and I'm about 4 years old.  I was a stray and rescued by a BCHS volunteer, and brought to Bond County Humane Society to find a loving permanent home.  I live with another FIV positive cat at the shelter. I am playful and like to chase bouncy balls. I like to get to know you before I want to be petted.  Of course, this is all on my terms.  I determine when and how long you can pet me.  I love to explore and look in all the nooks and crannies around the shelter. I am considered Special Needs for a couple reasons.  First, I tested positive for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus).  FIV is comparable to AIDS in people. It is transmitted to other cats by scratching or biting. There is not a vaccine available to provide immunity to other cats so I need to be the only cat in the household or live with other FIV positive cats. I can have a normal life expectancy of a cat. The most important things for me are a low stress environment, good quality food and regular veterinarian care.  Second, I was also diagnosed with IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease) which requires me to have a special diet.  It is extremely important for me to stay healthy.  I get along well with the other cat in the FIV room at the shelter.  I am available for immediate adoption.  I am spayed, UTD on vaccinations, tested for FeLV/FIV, treated for internal and external parasites and micro chipped.  My adoption fee has been waived.  If you are interested in making me a member of your family please complete an Adoption Profile in person or on-line at www.bondcohumane.org .  Email the completed profile to the address provided.  A copy of our policy regarding warranties, refunds and returns is available upon request.

Story
Hi, my name is Dahlia and I'm about 2 years old.  I was rescued from Bond County Animal Control by Bond County Humane Society so I can find a loving furever home. I am a beautiful tortoiseshell cat. I lived in a foster home and enjoyed the home life, but I am back in the shelter now. I reach out to play with anyone who comes by.  I am very talkative, especially when I want your attention! I love to be petted and held. I like to play with toys with feathers.  I am available for immediate adoption.  I am spayed, UTD on vaccinations, tested for FeLV/FIV, treated for internal and external parasites and micro chipped.  My adoption fee is sponsored. If you are interested in making me a member of your family, please complete an Adoption Profile in person or on-line at  www.bondcohumane.org .  Email the completed profile to the address provided.  A copy of our policy regarding warranties, refunds and returns is available upon request.

Story
Hi, my name is Periwinkle and I'm about 8 months old.   Me, my mom and 3 litter mates were surrendered to Bond County Humane Society when I was 1 day old.  Our mom, Lilac, was a stray. I am a beautiful black kitten with a little white on my belly. I am the vocal one of the group.  I like to talk and let people know what I want.  I like to play with my litter mates and with toys. I like to climb up onto people's backs when they bend over. When I take a break from playing I'm ready to snuggle up.   I am available for immediate adoption.  I am spayed, UTD on vaccinations, tested for FeLV/FIV, treated for internal and external parasites and micro chipped.  My adoption fee is $100.  If you are interested in making me a member of your family please complete an Adoption Profile in person or on-line at  www.bondcohumane.org .  Email the completed profile to the address provided.  A copy of our policy regarding warranties, refunds and returns is available upon request.December 12, 2025, 3:36 pm

Story
Hi, my name is Fantasia and I'm 10 years old.  I was originally rescued when I was about 6 weeks old.  Me and my litter mates were abandoned by our owner.  I was the only one of the litter that survived.  I have been at Bond County Humane Society since I was rescued.  I have lived in a foster home for awhile, but I was not comfortable and never acclimated to the environment so I came back to the shelter.  I live in a community room with other cats and get along with all of them.   I am friendly and playful in my normal environment.  I like to play with a few of the other cats in my community room.  I am very shy once I'm taken out of my environment.  I do tilt my head to one side a lot.  I have been seen by a veterinarian, but no cause has been determined for the tilt.  I am available for immediate adoption.  I am spayed, UTD on vaccinations, tested for FeLV/FIV, treated for internal and external parasites and microchipped. My adoption fee is by donation.  If you are interested in adopting me please complete an adoption profile in person or on-line at www.bondcohumane.org. Email the completed profile to the address provided.    A copy of our policy regarding warranties, refunds or returns is available upon request. March 10, 2025, 2:34 pm

Story
Hi, my name is Jossie and I'm 11 years old.  Me and my litter mates were surrendered to Bond County Humane Society for adoption because the people we lived with did not want us.  I am sociable and playful.  Before I came to live at BCHS I lived in a garage but I was well socialized with people and played with an 8 year old child.  I don't have any experience with dogs.  I like to play with toys, string, boxes or pretty much anything.  In 2017 I was diagnosed with IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease).  In my case it affects my stomach, not my intestines.  Because my stomach is involved it causes me to have chronic vomiting.  My care for this condition includes food and medication.  In my case the food I tolerate best has fish as the protein, not any meat.  The other part of my care is supplemental injections under the skin of  B-12.  This is needed because my body is unable to absorb this vitamin.   I have done well on the maintenance program described.  I have been able to maintain a healthy weight.  I am spayed, UTD on vaccinations, tested for FeLV/FIV, treated for internal and external parasites and microchipped. My adoption fee is waived. If you are interested in adopting me please complete an adoption profile in person or on-line at www.bondcohumane.org.  Email the completed profile to the address provided.    A copy of our policy regarding warranties, refunds or returns is available upon request. July 18, 2025, 2:46 pm
