Story
Chiggins is a 3.5-year-old Maine Coon/Tabby mix. He's a big boy (like his Maine Coon father) but has short hair and tabby markings (like his mom). Chiggins gets along wonderfully with dogs. He probably thinks he's a dog. He is much more picky about other cats. He would do best in a home as an only cat and no small children (he's not a fan of their quick movements and unpredictability). Chiggins is a snuggler but can be suspicious of strangers. We've had Chiggins since he was a baby. He's been an exclusively indoor cat but he has all the makings of a great barn kitty too (friendly and independent).

Story
Displaced by hurricane Helene, both girls (sisters) are about 8 months old and are fully vetted and current on vaccines. Both could use a bit of time to decompress and gain some socilaization skills with a new family, as they are a bit shy after their ordeal. Could be adopted together or separated. No rehoming fee, just hoping to find someone to give them a loving permanent home for the holidays!!

Story
Jojo is exceptionally docile and just the sweetest cat. I adopted her while living in Florida, and when I moved back to Illinois, she curled up at my feet in the car on the whole drive here. When I adopted her, I already had two other cats, and the humane society did not know how she would behave with other cats. Unfortunately, after almost a year, I have been unable to make any headway in getting Jojo to be okay with other cats. Part of the issue, I believe, is that she is declawed (I did not do that to her), and the other cats all have claws. She is not the aggressor, but when one of the other cats lifts a paw, she is extremely intimidated and can't defend herself. I have had to keep her in her own room with all the essentials: a tower to look out the window, a scratching post, and toys. I do not feel it's fair to keep her in one room when I know she would be a great "only cat" for someone who will love on her like she deserves! Extremely tough decision, but I do feel it's the best.

We promise Edith is not pregnant. Haha She`s had an ultrasound, and an x-ray just to find out due to genetics, she carries her weight to the side of her belly. Doctor says it shouldn`t have any issues with it growing old!
