Story
Hi, my name is Jasper. I am a neutered boy, around 10 years of age. I use to live with an elderly lady and many other cats, but she died and then I was taken to a barn where I was locked up (with food and water) for nearly 2 years. Then a kind foster lady took me into her beautiful bedroom where I await my forever home. I love to sit in the window, sleep on/or under the bed, get petted/attention and love getting fresh water and food. I love lickable cat treats!! Every time my foster Mom sits on the edge of the bed to get up, I jump up and sit on her lap for a few minutes....it's our special time. I have always lived with other cats, but I would prefer a quiet household, where no one will harass me or frighten me. Please email or text my foster mom directly if you are interested in adopting me! 815-501-3937 My foster moms think I am a sweet boy. I am fully up-to-day on my vaccines... Rabies and Distemper 3-in-1 shot. Therefore my adoption fee is: $50 Thank you for your consideration!

Story
If adopted, will receive her little box, food, and some toys she enjoys! My sister left her for me when I moved into my new home, she is a very sweet and loving girl, but my boy sadly doesn’t like her. I’ve tried to have her look for a home or take her, but she hasn’t respond, so it is my job to find an amazing home for her. She loves springs and can play fetch when comfortable, sister said she has anxiety and is about the age of 4. When running, she will do a little waddle/run ( it’s very cute). I wish to be connected with her and get a picture here and there or just little updates about her life, this is a hard decision, but I believe she deserves a better home where she can be herself. We are flea treating her at the moment and have been for the past 3 weeks just to make sure she is all healthy and ready for a new home! She got her name from the movie Spirted Away.

Story
Meet Pootie! She loves being an indoor kitty. She loves playing with her sister Poppy and gets along with other cats. She is shy at first, but will quickly be demanding pets and snuggles. She is also litter box trained. She will sit in your lap for as long as you let her and truly cannot wait to be someone's best friend. Background: Pootie was a stray kitty I found down the street. She would not come near me at first, but would happily eat the food I brought. I gained her trust for a few days until I was able to safely trap Pootie and bring her inside. Pootie was very, very skinny when she was brought in. The vet instructed me to feed her a high-protein diet, and now she is on normal dry food. She was spayed and given rabies vaccination in early December and is a healthy girl :) *I can keep her until she is adopted.* *100% of the rehoming fee will go towards spay/neuter for future cats*
