Story
Kris was rehomed previously and my sister and I took him in, unfortunately after a few weeks of having him, my sister discovered she is allergic to cats. We’ve tried medications, air purifiers, and nothing seems to work for her, so we have to give him up. Need someone who already have cats, or is looking to have an affection boy. He is very well mannered and clean.

Story
Cairo was born on April 1, 2025. He is a very sweet and playful boy. He loves to cuddle and eat but he’s not too fond of outdoors. He hasn’t been around too many other pets but he’s good around people and children. I want him to have a loving home with someone who can spend more time with him. He loves affection but he’s also likes his alone time.

Story
This cat is a very well care for cat. I purposely cared for her for the time being that she has been with me. I am just unable to manage having a cat so I want her to have a nice home that she is cared for and loved and that is the reason why I took out the time to nurture her prior.

Story
This cat is a bonded pair - with Ava. Janae came to me through a coworker’s friend who didn’t realize she was allergic to cats. She is currently about 5 months. She is full of fun, energetic, playful, sleepy lol. She likes looking out the window and purring at people. I’m looking to rehome her partially because I am a first time pet owner and didn’t really realize all the things that came with caring for pets.I believe that she’d do good with someone who can provide her the necessities for kittens her age who are still growing and learning. Maybe even a tower or scratch post. Fee is negotiable

Story
This cat is a bonded pair - with Janae. Ava originally came to me from a coworker’s friend who didn’t realize she was allergic. As this was my first experience with pets, I didn’t realize how much went into it.She’s only about 5 months and she’s a little skittish and scares easily at first but she ends up relaxing and wanting cuddles soon after. I’m looking to rehome them because I just moved and I just can’t afford to get them what they need right now. I want them to be able to find a loving and caring home that’ll have cat towers, scratch posts, attention, etc. She deserves that. I haven’t introduced her to kids yet but she’s been around my friends and she always warms up after hiding for a bit.Fee is negotiable

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? 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!)

Story
Enjoy laying in the sun more than climbing up your curtains? Ahem, I mean, enjoy the quiet, slow life? So do our older cats! These cats have been around the block a couple of times and are eager to get out of the shelter life that is hard on their aging feline frame. Got sunspots on your couch? Anti Cruelty has senior cats to sit in them. It can be hard seeing older animals end up at the shelter, but opening your home to them is a truly healing and beautiful experience. You get the opportunity to enrich senior pets' lives and make them feel youthful again! While often not as active as younger cats, seniors are likely to be your cuddliest friend, and neighborhood watch committee, all rolled up in one! Of course, every senior cat is different, and some love to play! Come meet all of our lovely senior companions at 510 N. LaSalle! We offer same-day adoptions, free parking, and guide you through the adoption process from start to finish. Learn about hours & the adoption process at https:/anticruelty.org/adopt-info.

Story
Imagine this cat living alone on the streets. Cold, alone and not sure where its next meal is coming from. Don’t worry, that sad Sarah McLachlan song isn’t going to start playing, because this cat was lucky and brought in by a Good Samaritan. Now, this cat is ready to start a whole new life with you! Sometimes stray cats need a little more time and space to get accustomed to living in a home. It is always a good idea to start off your new cat in a dedicated space equipped with some food and a litter box so they can decompress and get used to the new sights, smells and sounds. With food, play and some patience, most cats will really enjoy being a part of a family. Can you help this cat go from stray to cherished pet? Come visit this sweetheart, and all their friends at 3736 N. Halsted St today! Learn more about hours & the adoption process at https:/anticruelty.org/adopt-info.
