Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Nessy was adopted in 2022. We received a call on March 16th from Anti-Cruelty Society in Chicago that Nessy was just pushed across the counter and the "owner" left. We did have contact with the original adopter that said they did not want her back and in fact gave her away. We are taking a guess that Nessy was relinquished due to improper urination since she had a bad urinary tract infection that was detected when she was in foster. She has been treated for the urinary tract infection and is medically ready to go! Nessy is a sweet girl that loves to play with her toys and her pickle is her favorite! We are unsure of how Nessy would do with other cats, dogs, and children. As always, please be sure to allow a slow introduction with each animal having their own space in the home. Have a chat with an adoption counselor for getting to know you tips!

Story
Elvis LOVES to sniff faces. He’s a hard sniffer and then he’ll head butt with force. He is front declawed. Elvis was relinquished to AOS because he had something going on in the rear area. Elvis did not have any parasites but turns out Elvis had some yeast back there. He was treated and is ready to go! He is on prescription food. Meet Elvis, the shelter's resident rockstar! This feline's story is as unique as his namesake. One day, Elvis decided to explore a parked delivery van. His curiosity led him on an unexpected journey, ending up miles away from home. The driver, shocked to find a stowaway cat, brought him to our shelter. Elvis is a sweet, curious, friendly, and goofy cat. Despite his adventurous spirit, he's a lover, not a fighter, thanks to his front declaw. He's been known to serenade staff with his 'purr-sistently' melodious meows. Elvis is looking for a forever home where his curiosity can be satisfied with new, safe adventures. Adopt Elvis and let his sweet, goofy personality bring a touch of humor and warmth to your life!

Story
Max is a special little guy. He is very energetic. Max plays hard and sometimes gets overenthusiastic. He loves anything he can chase and the track ball. Max is a jumper and will need a cat tree. When Max is tired, he loves to cuddle but remember, he is a kitten. If cuddling is your thing you will have to wait till nighttime to cuddle. He also prefers to eat off paper plates both dry and wet. Max paws his water bowl before drinking so you may want a mat under it. Max NEEDS to be an only animal. Max's adopter will need to understand that Max is very high energy and overstimulated very easily.
