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.

Story
I found this little guy on my walk home. He had to have been only 3 weeks when I found him. He still needed to be bottle fed. So I did my best to help the little guy. He’s about 3 months now and is doing so much better. He’s gained a good amount of weight, loves attention, is very curious and LOVES TO PLAY! He does have a lot of energy because he’s still a little guy but he is so full of love. He loves to nibble on hands and fingers and loves toys. Unfortunately I cannot keep him because my dogs do not get along with cats. I just want him to be in a safe environment where he can freely roam around the house. I have had to keep him only in my room because my dogs would get to him. Please feel free to ask any questions 💕💕💕The picture of him when he was small was about 2 weeks after I found him.

Meet Luna!Luna is the sweetest, most cuddly cat I have ever met. I took her and her kitten Pigeon in from a chaotic household to give the new momma some peace and quiet. She was a little shy at first, but warmed up super fast. She has turned out to be a very curious and sweet girl. I don't know how old she is, but she seems kind of small. I hope this kitty will steal your heart the way she did mine- feel free to reach out with any questions, comments, or to learn more about Luna's story!

Story
Leimon is a 2-year-old neutered cat with a sweet personality and a lot of love to give. He is fully vaccinated and has been a very special part of my life. I’m looking for a new home for Leimon because my life has recently changed after welcoming my baby. This is not an easy decision, and what matters most to me is finding him a safe, loving, and permanent home where he can receive the attention and affection he deserves. Leimon deserves someone who will see him as family — someone who will give him a comfortable place to sleep, care for him, play with him, and love him for many years to come. 🐱💕 I’m not looking to simply give him away. I want to find the right person or family for him, and I would love to know a little about his future home before making a decision. If you are genuinely interested in giving Leimon a loving forever home, please send me a message and tell me a little about yourself and your experience with cats. Please feel free to share so we can help Leimon fin

Story
We found Misty hiding in the back of an event space three years ago in Pilsen. No one claimed her despite a LOT of effort on our part. Now, after several failed attempts at integration with our other cats, we are realizing Misty needs to be in a home where she is the only pet. She is so anxious just knowing the other cats exist, even when she can’t see them (she has her own room). We are having a baby in October and can’t maintain our status quo of keeping her in a separate space; there’s no way we’ll be able to visit with her and keep her socialized, and I just want her quality of life to be better. She’s incredibly sweet and friendly once she gets comfortable with you, and very independent to boot. She’s very cuddly- a good companion for reading a book or watching TV. I can give you her cat tree and litter box/box hider. She is fully up to date on shots and has a clean bill of health (I can pass along all her records and rabies tag). The vet estimates she is about 5-6 years old.

Story
Meet Kitty! Kitty came to us in August when her ownder could no longer care for. While she had a difficult time adadpting to shelter life, she has come out of her shell and done very well while in her foster home! Her foster has noted that she loves to play fetch but will only consistently return one specific fuzzy ball, which is her favorite toy! She sleeps at the foot of their bed at night, but she gets up to snack on her food sometimes! She loves to come up to people on her own, and can be selective about being pet but she appreciates when it is on her own terms! Kitty is still getting acclimated to loud noises, and tends to hide but her foster noted that she does recover quickly and is actively working on her resilience:) Kitty loves when the TV is left on for her so she can get some background noise to help her feel more comfortable. If you're looking for a sweet and loving lady, Kitty is your girl! This pet has been patiently waiting for a family for longer than we'd like, making them a special member of our Length of Stay Program. To help them start their next chapter, they'll go home with plenty of goodies to make the transition easier, such as supplies, enrichment items, or other adoption perks. We know their perfect match is out there—we just can't wait for them to find each other! Kitty is spending some time outside of the shelter in foster care! Interested in adopting? Please fill out an application at this link (https://new.shelterluv.com/form/other/ACIL/178562-foster-cat-adoption-application) and please 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.

Story
Waldron is a senior cat looking for his retirement home. He is looking for a calm and quiet home where he can get the love and attention he needs. Despite his age, he loves to play! He eagerly chases wand toys. He is sensitive to space and prefers to have plenty of his own space to lounge around. He is working on his social skills with other cats and may do well in a home with other cats. Waldron is currently spending some much needed time in foster care! Interested in adopting?

Meet Smokey! This sweet, anxious girl is receiving love in a foster home as she really did not enjoy the shelter environment... here's what her foster has to say about her wonderful self... "Personality wise she loves to talk to you and will be happy to remind you it's feeding time. She is a little awkward cuddling. She will lie on you rise of you are sleeping on your side. She is very playful and loves her cat toy on the stick and will bring it to you to play. She can be very acrobatic! She is a sweetheart who you don't have to worry about swiping at you and you can give many belly rubs to and is comfortable with touching her paws." Interested in Smokey? Fill out an application for her here at https://new.shelterluv.com/form/other/ACIL/178562-foster-cat-adoption-application.
