Story
Maggie is a 2-year-old cat (breed Short Hair Domestic), weighing about 2.3 lbs. She is an independent, gentle cat who takes time to build trust but shows steady progress once she feels safe and comfortable. Maggie has no known health issues and has been well cared for since coming into our home. She gets along well with other cats and would likely benefit from a calm environment with a consistent routine. Maggie originally took shelter in our garage, and we brought her indoors during the colder months in Fall 2025 to ensure her safety and comfort. Since then, she has adjusted to indoor living and continues to grow more at ease each day. Maggie would do best in a patient, quiet home where she can continue to settle in at her own pace. We are looking to rehome her as soon as possible, while making sure she finds the right long-term home.

Daffodil

Domestic Shorthair Domestic Mediumhair

Male, 3 yrs 5 mos
Chicago, IL
Size

Details
Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Daffodil is a loyal, affectionate, playful cat who loves any & all of his toys and snuggling next to his human(s). He'll make a great pet in a home where somebody is nearby during the day as he really enjoys being near you, but he also does well if he needs to be left alone. He is conversational and will let you know when he wants to eat or play. A house with accessible windows or a nice perch would be ideal, since he loves to climb up and watch the world go by. He loves wet food and is very neat with the litter box. He’s really the perfect cat companion! Daffodil is one of our special care animals due to chronic upper respiratory infections and gingivitis, which can require a little extra vet care, but such a perfectly charming guy is absolutely worth the extra investment. Daffodil is currently in foster! If you're interested in adopting Daffodil, please fill out an application at this link: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ACIL/Cat Make sure to include his name and ID number in the application! A staff member will reach out to you shortly to arrange a meet and greet!

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
This beautiful girl is Marcie! Marcie started as a shy cat who didn’t fully trust people. After having her with a dedicated, wonderful foster for a month, she is becoming a loving, playful cat. She always wants to play. Her favorite toy is the cat dancer, but if she can’t convince someone to play with that, she loves plastic Easter eggs, ping pong balls and even hair ties and will chase them all over the house. She likes pets, but only on her terms, usually while playing. Marcie still takes a little bit of time to get used to new people and new environments, but play will usually win her over! Earning the love of a cat like this is the most rewarding endeavor. Interested in adopting? Please fill out an application at this link! https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ACIL/Cat and specify the animal's name and ID number (if the ID number is not entered, we may mix up the animal you're interested in!) A staff member will reach out to you asap to discuss your application.

Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet the beautiful Darla! Darla is a fluffy sweetheart who is always looking for snuggles. Her foster describes her as calm, docile and affectionate. Darla is incredibly soft and loving. As an older lady she may not be as energetic or playful but she loves to cuddle with her people and be near humans as much as possible. Due to chronic ear infections and potential chronic kidney disease, Darla is one of our Special Care pets. Darla will need to go to a home comfortable with the frequent vet visits and treatments that older cats often need - especially those experiencing dynamic health issues like this sweet thirteen year old. Her foster notes, "Whenever we sit on the couch, she immediately comes to snuggle with us. Very well behaved. No scratching, biting, jumping on tables or countertops." Think you could give this perfect princess a gentle home? Interested in adopting?
