My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Phantom is a 2.5-year-old tabby mix who has been through some confusing times in his short life. He was originally adopted as a kitten and returned last year for having blood in his urine. We quickly diagnosed that he had crystals, so now he eats prescription food to keep them from forming. Because he is on a special diet, he can`t free roam in our open cat rooms, so he`s lived on his own since being returned and, as a result, has been reserved and a bit shy. However, he will quickly open up once given space and some patience. He is currently getting comfortable around people and animals again by exploring the shelter and socializing with visitors to the office. We have discovered he LOVES kids and makes us laugh once he starts being silly and playing. He loves being petted and will play calmly with other cats. He has seen dogs and doesn`t have much of a reaction, but we always recommend slow introductions between new animals.

More about this shelter

TAPS-Tazewell Animal Protective Society was founded in 1958 in Pekin Illinois in a building donated by the City of Pekin on River Road. In 1979, rapidly rising river water forced the evacuation of the animals. Once again, the City of Pekin stepped in and donated a building for the animals. Several moves later, and with the help and generosity of many volunteers and community members, TAPS now has a new home at 100 TAPS Lane. Last year we celebrated 50 year of caring for the homeless animals of Central Illinois.
