American Shorthair kittens & cats in Morris, Illinois

Meet Scotchie-Sweet Boy!! His name is really Butterscotch, but his friends call him Scotchie. We think we will call Scotchie, he seems to make a friend of everyone he meets. This sweet little guy just wandered into the neighborhood a few weeks ago, like soooo many before him. Stray cats can come and go in any location, some are truly feral and others like Scotchie are quite social. Perhaps he has had some previous human interaction, so it seems. Scotchie began making regular appearances around a few houses in the neighborhood and even ended up on our deck with all of our foster dogs!! Well, they scared him up a tree(they are actually pretty harmless)and he eventually made it safely down and on his way. Although we are a dog foster, there is a family next door that are the cat whisperers, not a job they intended on!! So far they have 3 of these local strays, and a family member has 2 more. Scotchie apparently knew where to go. As evasive as he was initially one day he had a change of heart. Tammy(the cat whisper) came home from work and had the garage door open. Scotchie made his move. He RAN in the garage and started rubbing on Tammy's legs and being very affectionate. His plan worked! Tammy took him down to the cat room downstairs for isolation and to begin his vetting journey. He was checked out, received his vaccinations and was just neutered. He is in great shape despite being on his own for who knows how long? Scotchie is over a year old, perhaps 18 months, but still a young cat. He is looking for a loving him, someone to spoil and cuddle. The family is asking for an adoption fee of $100, which will cover a little of his vetting expenses. Please email Kristine at joysparrows@gmail.com.

Owner lost her home and can no longer care for cat

This sweet girl came into rescue right before christmas. She was dumped on a farm property, and it was clear she was not an outdoor cat. She was absolutely terrified. Still can be shy at times, foster is working on warming her up. Once you puck her up, she loves to cuddle into your arm and purr. Still young, about 10 months, and she is very social with other cats. Prefer a quiet home for her. Not dog tested yet, but plan to do it. Applications on our website. Www.promiserescue.org

This is Sparky (Male) and Jax (Female). They were rescued by us as strays and have been spayed and neutered. They are approximately 2 1/2 years old. Sparky and Jax would love to stay together and be the only cats in the home. They are amazing with adults and children, and are very friendly outgoing cats. They are well behaved but still very playful. They will greet you at the door and follow you around the house. They love attention and playtime, and will sleep with you in bed at night. They will snuggle with you any chance they get, and don’t mind being picked up. They are most times right next to eachother/playing together. They would love to go outside sometimes under constant supervision. They would be a great addition to any family, whether you’re a young adult looking for good companions, or a family with children looking for playmates. We can provide a few of their favorite toys and travel for a meeting/drop off. “Please adopt us!!” -Sparky and Jax
