Domestic Shorthair kittens & cats in Roscoe, Illinois

"Hi there! I am a handsome 6-year-old cat looking for a calm and patient forever home. I am a quiet and independent boy who values my space. When you feed me, I like to walk right in front of you to show my appreciation, and once I get comfortable, I will gladly follow you from room to room to keep you company and greet you when you get home! Sometimes, I even like to curl up on your lap for some quiet time. I am looking for an understanding family who will give me a little time to fully adjust and open up at my own pace. Could you be my perfect match?"

Name: Bat BoyBreed: DSHDOB: 7/8/2026Good with kids: YESGood with dogs: YESGood with cats: YESFoster location:  Pingree Grove Adoption fee: $200 a kitten or $350 for a pair of kittens under 2 years of age. Fun Bio: Don’t let his name fool you—this sweet little panther is more snuggle bug than spooky bat! Bat Boy is a playful little guy who loves to zoom, pounce, and have a good time with his foster siblings. And when playtime is over? He’s more than happy to curl up for a cozy nap and soak up some cuddles. Bat Boy came to the rescue as a single kitten, but he quickly discovered that life is much more fun with friends! He absolutely loves his foster siblings and has happily embraced his little feline family. With his playful personality, sweet nature, and serious talent for turning into a sleepy cuddle puddle, Bat Boy is ready to swoop into his forever home and steal some hearts. Play hard. Snuggle harder. That’s Bat Boy! 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.   ##2809893##
