Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Rigatoni is a 3-5 year old female DSH cat (with the craziest yellow eyes) who came to us due to unfortunate circumstances after her owner was hospitalized and it was discovered that there was 77 cats in the home in really bad conditions. Toni is now doing well, and all she needs is her forever home. She is a bit shy of people, but warms up with time (and treats). She is a sucker for wet food and treats. Her adoption fee is FREE due to length of stay. She is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated and FELV/FIV negative. Please stop by the shelter to meet and adopt her, or call or email with questions: 630-553-9256 or animalcontrol@Kendallcountyil.gov

Story
Meet Soot. Unfortunately 2 years ago Soot lost her human owner after she passed away. Family members took Soot into their care and she was recently surrendered due to the inability to care for her any longer. She is turning 12 years old the first week of January. Soot has what is suspected to be IBD, and in the home environment she has a history of occasional flare ups of vomiting and diarrhea. She has been successfully treated with Prednisone in the past, which is what we would recommend for future incidents if they occur (she will need to be established with a vet right away). She has not had any GI upset while here with us. Soot is front declawed. She would be great for someone who just wants a senior lap cat or needs a declawed cat. She is a sweet and affectionate girl without the excessive energy of a younger cat. Her adoption fee is $100, and she is spayed/declawed, vaccinated (3 yr rabies included), FELV/FIV negative and microchipped. She has had full panel bloodwork in the last 2 years and comes with her full medical history. Please stop by the shelter to meet and adopt this sweet girl.

Story
Hello, my name is Donatello (dob around 1/24/24)  and I'm searching for my forever home. I have been through quite a lot but i have been able to navigate the obstacles with the help of love and tons of patience.  Foster Momma says I'm the cutest, most sophisticated kitty she knows.  I love to lay on my high shelves and look down on all my subordinates.  Even though I am now able to tolerate love from my humans, please don't be surprised if I decided you are not worthy of my attention and immediately ask you to stop.  I will do best in an adult only home and with the right introduction, I would do ok with other gentle cats because even though I'm a big guy, I don't like confrontation.  I also trust women faster than men so if you are going to apply for being my wingman, just know, I'll need a lot of patience from you.  I have many quirks so please make sure to speak to my foster Momma so that she can tell you all about them.  I had a traumatic start, and I was in rough condition when I was first rescued and had to have surgery to remove my tail as well as tons of nurturing to learn how to trust again, so please only commit yourself if you are planning to always include me in your life.  I am neutered, up to date on my vaccinations, and have a microchip.  I also have an amputated tail due to the severe trauma done to it.  My adoption fee is $150.  If you are that pet parent for me, please fill out an application at www.furangelsas.com and my foster parents and I will review your application together.  August 11, 2025, 12:17 am
