Story
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

Pringle and Lulu are sweet loving cats. Pringle is a male and Lulu is a female. They are both fixed so cannot have babies. They are truly the best of buddies and love each other so much I would love to find a new home for them both together. Pringle is a curious and cute and playful boy. He loves to cuddle. Lulu also loves to cuddle but only on her terms you can’t force her lol. She is a little bit more shy but once she gets to know you she is very playful and loving and loves belly rubs. They both have never been violent or vicious. They are great with kids. I have a cat tower that can come with them and whatever food and litter I have left over.

Story
We got Oliver after a friend of mine couldn’t take care of him anymore. At first it was nice, but over time the expenses became too much for me to handle by myself with 3 kids. I have 3 cats (including Oliver) and they all get along very well. Oliver also gets along with my dog and he has never once hissed at a human, dog, or fellow cat. He is very sweet and loves to play with strings (just like any cat) and loves to snuggle up in a bed, or couch, or whatever he deems appropriate for sleeping and rests like a newborn baby. He does like to use the scratching post and I realized that if you don’t have that for him, he will tear at the carpet instead. He’s kind of shy and tends to run away if he hears the doorbell or a knocking at the door. But otherwise he loves to walk around and chill most of the day.

Story
FOSTERED IN: Adoption Center - Frankfort, IL 60423 ESTIMATED DOB: June, 2024 COLOR/BREED: Black shorthair KIDS: gentle children who he can learn to trust DOGS: low-key dogs CATS: low-key cats HISTORY: Benedict was rescued by one of our cat adoption center volunteers ABOUT: Meet Benedict — a sleek, handsome black cat with a gentle soul and a quiet charm that reveals itself in the sweetest ways. At about one year old, Benedict is still a young cat with a playful side, but he prefers to take life at a slower, softer pace. He loves watching the world go by from a cozy window perch and never turns down a tasty snack. Give him a toy mouse or a wand to chase, and you’ll see his shy reserve melt into playful delight. Benedict is naturally reserved around new people, but with time, patience, and kindness, he warms up into a loving, funny companion. He seems to feel most at ease in calm spaces and does especially well with gentle, quiet people and mellow animal friends. Although shy, Benedict has a goofy side he saves for those he trusts — don’t be surprised if you catch him doing his signature “crab walk,” showing off his belly and scooting across the floor for some well-earned pets. He has forged a supportive and warm relationship with S'mores, a shy male who's also at our adoption center. We'd love to have the two sweet males adopted together. We will even waive one of the adoption fees and have these two sweeties adopted for the price of one. For a peaceful household looking for a cat who will thrive on calm days and gentle affection, Benedict could be the perfect match. He won’t demand the spotlight but will reward your patience with sweet moments of trust, silly antics, and quiet companionship by your side or at the window. Benedict is ready to find a safe, loving home where he can be exactly who he is — shy, sweet, and perfectly himself. Interested in adding one of our adoptables to your family?
