Story
Akhtoot is a gentle, shy girl with a heart of gold. Though she may take a little time to warm up, once she feels safe, she’ll show you her sweet side. Akhtoot is a bit nervous in new environments, but with patience and a calm, understanding home, she’ll blossom into a loving companion. She enjoys quiet moments and will appreciate a peaceful environment where she can relax and feel secure. Akhtoot may not be the most outgoing at first, but once she trusts you, you’ll be rewarded with quiet cuddles and gentle purring. This sweet girl is looking for a family who understands her need for patience and a slow introduction. She’ll do best in a calm home, ideally with an adopter who can give her the time and space she needs to adjust at her own pace. If you’re ready to offer Akhtoot a safe, loving space to come out of her shell, she’s waiting for you! Stop in and meet my cute self in person during our adoption hours. For more information, email info@ahconnects.org or call us at 847-697-2880 x: 0, and the staff will be happy to help you. I hope to meet you soon! Our cats and kittens go home spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on core vaccines, flea, and tick preventatives. Their adoption also includes a free-vet exam at one of our participating veterinarians.

Story
Sam is a sweet 1-year-old tabby who’s looking for a patient and understanding forever home. She’s a little shy and scared at first, but with a calm environment and time to adjust, Sam’s true personality will shine through. She may need some extra reassurance, but once she feels safe, she’ll show you her softer side and could become your most loyal companion. Sam enjoys quiet spaces where she can feel secure, and while she might not be the most outgoing right away, she’ll appreciate your gentle attention and patience as she settles in. She’s a beautiful and loving girl who just needs a little extra time to warm up. Sam might take some time to trust, but she’s worth the wait if you’re looking for a shy but sweet friend to share your home with. Could you be the calm, loving person Sam needs to help her feel safe and loved? Stop in and meet my cute self in person during our adoption hours. For more information, email info@ahconnects.org or call us at 847-697-2880 x: 0, and the staff will be happy to help you.
