Story
Midnight was born on June 26th 2025. She is quiet and aloof, the perfect “low-maintenance” cat. She is shy at first but has grown more affectionate over time, but she shows her love in quiet ways. She will suddenly appear next to you in bed, quiet as a mouse, and relax with you. She is a kitten though, so she still has plenty of energy to run and play!

Story
Smokey is a beautiful young adult cat in need of a new home! She is an extremely loving girl and would love to cuddle up to you in bed on a cold winter night! She has had kittens but has since been spayed, is litter box trained, and has no behavioral problems. She is timid around loud noises and would most likely do best in an adult only home (or a home with older children) and would be a good single cat or would do well with one other cat. Smokey does not become aggressive around children but becomes visibly stressed when there is too much noise and action in the home. Smokey prefers to relax and snuggle with her favorite people rather than be in an action packed environment.

Gemera is a fun and spunky girl! She has all the energy in the world and loves to run and play! Gemera would do wonderfully in a home that already has a playmate for her, or a dedicated pet parent willing to provide proper stimulation to support her. Gemera loves children and would make a great family cat. She is a polydactyl, so she has extra toes, giving her super cute mittens on her feet!

Meet Butterscotch Male • DOB: 9/22/25 Butterscotch is a sweet, gentle boy who’s just as warm and comforting as his name. He loves people, enjoys being held, and has a steady purr that starts the moment you give him attention. He’s playful and curious, but also content to curl up beside you for some quiet time. Butterscotch does well with other cats and would be a wonderful addition to almost any home looking for an affectionate, easygoing companion. If you’re hoping for a loving kitten who brings a little sunshine wherever he goes, Butterscotch is ready to meet you! https://www.tailsoftheforgottenpaws.org/ Or find us on FB/IG

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.

These cats are in Huntley, Illinois too!

Story
Born: April 11, 2024 Adoption Donation: $200 Meet January – A Shy Gentleman with a Heart of Gold With his sleek black coat and striking golden eyes, January is a truly handsome boy. Coming from a hoarding situation, he’s still learning to trust people, but every day he takes small steps toward confidence. Though he’s shy, he’s gentle and curious, and with the right home, he’ll continue to grow. One thing January knows for sure—he loves other cats! Having feline friends helps him feel safe, and he’d thrive in a home with another social kitty to show him the way. With patience, love, and a quiet space to feel secure, January has the potential to be a loyal and loving companion. Could you be the one to help January find his confidence and his forever home?
