Story
My name is Rizzo! I was adopted as a kitten and when I was 6 years old, my owner decided to move away and not take me with :(. Thankfully her friends have been able to have me for a couple months but they are super busy and travel most of the week. I am super playful and they just can’t give me the attention and time I need! I am a little fiesty at first but really warm up. I had my front claws removed when I was a kitten so it’s real hard to hurt you when I’m playing. I also have all my paperwork!

Or, how about these American Shorthairs in cities near Crystal Lake, Illinois

Story
Crumbles wears her heart on her side for all to see. She is such pretty girl! Curious and sweet, she is sure to win your heart. She does not like to be held for long but is making slow progress & working on that with her foster family. She loves her cat toy wands and mice but isn’t a fan of most treats. She loves to see what her foster family is up to, and her presence always lights up a room. She does ok with good dogs and ok with other nice cats. Crumbles will shy away from her siblings if they play too hard for her taste. She would do best with being paired well in a super sweet cat home to avoid her potentially being bullied. She would also do well in a single cat family. Home is where her heart is and Crumbles is waiting for her forever one! rh

Story
Butters the cowardly lion has a courageous heart of gold ?. He came to his foster fearful and nervous, but his courage has always shown through. Treats are his all-time favorite! He also loves playing with mice, his foster friends and siblings, and enjoys hanging out with his foster family. Butters is ok being held, does well with “good dogs” and other cats. He has been around kids but hasn’t been handled by a child younger than 10 yet. Although he might take a few extra days to acclimate, he is so worth those few extra days. He is a furry friend of a lifetime. rh

Story
Meet Biscuit, a handsome, young, male sweetheart looking for his forever home! He is great with “good dogs” and other cats. Biscuit is very respectful of the old man of the foster house, a 22 year old cat. He is a dream fur baby. He might be a little shy at first - as all cats are when getting used to a new owner's home. But overall, he is a companion type of feline that just enjoys being in the room around you. He spends his day playing with his foster kitty friends and siblings, basking in sunlight, snuggling with his doggy friend and exploring his foster home. He is perfectly trained to his litter box with no accidents. Biscuit is not temperamental, purrs every time you scoop him up, loves his cat wands but also places with mice and other toys. He is the puuuurrfect addition to your home either with his brother “butters” or by himself! rh

Story
Hi, I'm Milo! I am approximately 2-3 years old and was rescued off my current owner's front porch. I am looking for a new home because my fur sister and I haven't been able to get along, but I am very sweet and loving to my humans. Bonus: I am leash trained and know how to sit on command! My humans will also give you my litterbox, food, and bed. I love toys, lap naps, being brushed, catnip, affection, and most importantly, food - I'll eat anything I can get my paws on and smells good! However, I do not like other cats - I need to be king of my castle! I am very adventurous, clever, and outgoing. I also love to vocally express my opinion, whether I'm bored, need attention, or think dinner is late. I would prefer the company of my human(s) for most of the day, but I'm learning to keep myself entertained with toys. I love to accompany you throughout your day and explore your home. I am marked as special needs because I am FIV+ but I have not had any related symptoms or health problems.
