Story
Luna has been with me for 5 months. She was found a stray with a hernia. I have been able to warm her up to be a loving, affectionate, and outgoing cat. She is shy at first but warms up in a few short days. She loves to be petted and play with toys. Curiosity is in her name and she will explore anything that she could get into. Since I need to move, I won't be able to take care of her anymore, so I am looking for a good home for her.

Or, how about these American Shorthairs in cities near Geneva, Illinois

These American Shorthairs are available for adoption close to Geneva, Illinois.

Story
Are you ready to open your heart to an extra special feline friend? Look no further than Max, a 3.5-year-old male cat with a heart of gold and a unique condition: moderate cerebellar hypoplasia (CH). Cerebellar hypoplasia (CH) is a neurological condition where the cerebellum, the part of the brain responsible for coordination and balance, is underdeveloped. This underdevelopment can lead to symptoms such as tremors, uncoordinated movements, and difficulty with balance and spatial awareness. Cats with moderate cerebellar hypoplasia can still lead happy and fulfilling lives, especially in homes where they receive understanding and supportive care. Despite his condition, Max is a complete love bug who adores snuggling up right beside you and purring contentedly. While he may not be the rough-and-tumble type, he's definitely up for some gentle playtime, especially if it involves receiving pets and cuddles. His CH may somewhat limit him, but he's far from letting it hold him back. He's a pro at using the litter box and has no trouble enjoying his meals. Plus, he's quite adept at getting around, although he does need to avoid stairs and any over-enthusiastic dogs who might try to chase him. This observant and gentle soul is fantastic with kids and would likely do well with other calm animals who understand his needs. Max is truly the master of the love flop, ready to give you all the affection his big heart holds. Reach out to us today to learn more about welcoming Max into your loving home! 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
Alley may be a gentle giant in feline form, but her heart is as vast as her love for her favorite people. Initially shy and nervous, she approaches new situations with caution, taking her time to assess her surroundings before fully embracing her environment. However, once Alley forms a bond, her loyalty knows no bounds, and she becomes a devoted companion for life. True to her tuxedo cat roots, Alley has a regal presence and a dignified demeanor that commands respect. While she may be reserved at first, her cautious nature gradually gives way to warmth and affection as she grows more comfortable with her surroundings. Alley's love language is often expressed through her enjoyment of wet food, a culinary delight that brings her joy and contentment. Alley is seeking a patient and understanding forever home where she can blossom at her own pace. She would thrive in a calm and nurturing environment where she feels safe and secure, surrounded by her cherished human companions. Alley's preference for wet food makes her an easy feline to please, and her gentle nature makes her suitable for households of all sizes. If you're ready to welcome a gentle giant into your life, Alley is waiting to steal your heart with her quiet charm and unwavering loyalty. With her by your side, every day is sure to be filled with love, warmth, and the comforting purr of a beloved companion. Stop in and meet my cute self in person during our adoption hours.

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.

Story
Potato salad is a very sweet and loving cat. He would do best in a home with 0-1 other cats. We have been having issues with him going outside of the litter box, mostly on my kids things. He was not always like this, maybe in the past year. Our youngest daughter was diagnosed with autism and we have been very busy with everything surrounding that (therapy etc) so maybe he is not getting enough attention. He is healthy (just had his checkup last month), still has all claws.

Story
They were given to me sick and flea ridden about 9 months ago. They are clean and healthy now. One had a kitten. The oldest female is around 3 years old. She is a tortoiseshell. The other 3 are her kittens. Orange male tabby about 1 year old, all black female about 1 year old, tortoiseshell female kitten about 5 months old. I cannot afford to continue their care and need them to be rehomed to loving homes. No fees, as they will need to be spayed and neutered. Please contact via email turner.stefani@gmail.com
