Story
We are looking for a home for two cute, affectionate 7-year-old tabby cats, Koko and Buddy. They are playful, which may appear to be typical cat fighting, and ultimately, they end up cuddling and napping with paws around each other. As Koko underwent surgery for urinary blockage a month after we adopted him, we were encouraged by our Vet to offer Koko wet food specific for urinary conditions during his life. We want to make sure that whoever adopts them will maintain this same diet. The unique personalities of each cat can, at times, be challenging, which motivates us to search for someone who has patience and experience with cats. Both cats typically hide when visitors are in the home. Koko tends to be slightly more approachable. We must be assured that Koko and Buddy will remain indoor cats as they both were declawed when they were 6 months old. We are sad to part with our friends and want to be sure that we find the right fit for a new home for them.

Story
*** To alleviate the need to bring an animal into the shelter environment, The Anti-Cruelty Society has the Home-to-Home Shelter Bypass service to help people find new accommodations for their pets privately. These animals are not located in any of the Society`s physical locations. If you are interested in adopting this animal, please do NOT click the Adopt Me button and instead reach out to the current owner directly via the email provided in the profile. As this is a Home-to-Home animal you are not required to fill out an Anti-Cruelty Society adoption application form. ***Bella is very quiet and a sleeper. She likes soaking in the sun/sun spots and sleeping. The only reason why she has to go is because she urinates on furniture. She uses the litter box but for some reason she just goes on couches, blankets, rugs, and clothes that are on the floor. She was found in 2014 by a shelter in Chicago on April 1st. She does not bite. She tolerates kids very well, but she does not like when kids are rough with her. For adoption information, please email abrialanier3@gmail.com.

Story
Meet Mores, a senior cat with a heart full of sweetness and bravery. Though he may be shy at first, he warms up quickly with a little patience and the enticing sound of a jingle ball. His favourite hiding spot is under the bed, a cozy retreat where he feels safe and secure. Mores has a special affinity for chin scritches, his purring engine revving up at the slightest touch. His demeanor is calm, and he has a lot of love to give. Despite his senior status, Mores still has plenty of playful energy. Mores is not just a cat, he`s a companion. His soft purrs and gentle nudges are his way of saying he trusts you. He`s not just brave with people, but also with other cats. He doesn`t mind sharing his space and can often be found peacefully cohabitating with his feline friends. He`s looking for a forever home where he can share his golden years, providing comfort, companionship, and the softest purrs you`ve ever heard. Adopt Mores and add a touch of joy to your life.
