Story
Yoshi is 2 years old and he's super sweet. He came to us via Chinatown in Chicago. He was part of a group of stray kittens. He has been with us for two years and we thought we were his forever home. He gets along with 5 of our cats, so generally gets along with other cats, but has taken against one after a dispute over food caused by the other. We have had to isolate him as we can't keep an eye on him 24-7. He is so sweet with people and wants attention from us and we want him to be happy with a family where he can be the "top cat." We are sad to do this, but we think he will be happier where he can have his own dedicated human.

Story
Blue was taken in from a family that was unable to take care of her or her sister, Kitty anymore. She loves playing with toys and does get the zoomies. She will bunt you if she wants to be pet and this is often the best way to know if she wants you to pet her. She cannot imagine a world without her sister Kitty. Blue is currently staying in a lovely foster home. Email cats@heartlandanimalshelter.org to set up a time to meet them! Blue is spayed, up-to-date on FVRCP and Rabies vaccinations, and FIV and FeLV negative.

Story
Zelda is a sweet, cuddly 3-year-old cat with a baby face and a tiny frame & oddly small for her age, which makes her look like a kitten forever. 💛 She loves being the center of attention, soaking up cuddles, and curling up with her favorite humans. Zelda is also playful and energetic, especially when she has space to explore or enjoy a little outdoor time (safely supervised). She has a big personality for her size and loves affection; but also appreciates her quiet alone time. We are a military family facing a move, and as hard as it is, we are looking for a loving new home for her where she can get the attention, stability, and space she deserves. Zelda Ideal Home: - Lots of love and daily interaction - A calm environment with room to roam - Best as the only pet or somewhere she can shine - Someone patient and affectionate Zelda is a special little companion who deserves a home as sweet as she is❤️
