Story
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.

Dune is approximately three years old. She was originally adopted in Colorado and a family member could not keep her due to job moves / relocations. I brought her to Illinois approx. 18 months ago. I have other elderly adults moving into my residence and allergies prevent them from having a cat.

Milo was rescued from kill shelter in Iowa by daughter in medical school. Due to an increased work load in her school schedule, she was unable to provide for Milo. My husband has a severe cat allergy along with several other health issues and we are unable to keep him at our home. He is very active and enjoys being near people. He is a large cat and is currently on weight reducing food.

Story
Meet Biscuit 🐾 Biscuit is a quiet, sensitive kitten who is still learning that the world can be a safe and kind place. He is shy and undersocialized due to limited human interaction early in life and will require a patient, understanding home as he continues to build confidence. Biscuit would do best in a calm, quiet home where he can decompress at his own pace and feel secure. A confident, friendly cat companion would be a huge help to him—he looks to other cats for reassurance and would benefit greatly from having a social role model to show him that people aren’t so scary. While Biscuit may not be a lap kitten right away, with time, consistency, and gentle care, he has the potential to make progress and build trust. He’s best suited for an adopter who understands shy cats and is willing to give him the space and patience he needs to feel safe. If you have a peaceful home and a big heart for a kitten who needs a little extra love and time, Biscuit could be a very special addition to your family. 💛🐱 Looking to bring lots of fun and excitement into your home? Kittens like me are the best of both worlds—playful and full of energy, yet also sweet and cuddly! I’ll keep you entertained with my playful antics, and when I’m ready to wind down, I’m all about snuggles. My cute face may be hard to resist, but keep in mind, I’ll need plenty of your time and attention as I grow. Exploring your home and discovering new adventures is what I do best—are you ready for the fun challenge? Kittens like me thrive in pairs, meaning double the trouble, double the fun, and double the love! What could be better than one kitten? Two, of course! To encourage adopting kittens in pairs, if you adopt me with a buddy, the adoption fee for both of us will be just $500. Come meet me in person during our adoption hours, or reach out to info@ahconnects.org or call 847-697-2880 x: 0. Our friendly staff will be happy to help. All of our cats and kittens go home: • Spayed or neutered • Microchipped • Up to date on core vaccines • Protected with flea and tick preventatives • With a 3.5 lb bag of Iams cat food • And a free vet exam at a participating veterinary partner

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. Our cats and kittens go home spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on core vaccines, flea, and tick preventatives.
