My story

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

Meet Jan, a three-year-old shorthaired torbie beauty with a soul as intricate as her multi-colored fur. Residing in the shelter, she exudes an aura of mystery, still learning to navigate the complexities of human affection. Jan is a gentle spirit who craves a serene environment where she can observe and accompany her humans from a comfortable distance. While she's yet to fully embrace overt displays of affection, her quiet presence speaks volumes about her burgeoning trust and curiosity. Jan yearns for a tranquil home where she can continue her journey of understanding and gradually open her heart to the joys of companionship. With patience and understanding, Jan promises to blossom into a loyal and cherished member of any loving household. She has FIV, which means she has a weaker immune system than most cats. FIV cats can live a long, happy life, but should not go to a home with FIV-negative cats. If you are interested in adopting her, call the APL at 217-544-7387 or fill out an application at apl-shelter.org!

More about this shelter

For over 60 years, the Animal Protective League has been the voice for animals in Springfield and Sangamon County. APL operates a limited admission animal shelter and a high-volume, low-cost spay/neuter clinic along with comprehensive animal-welfare programs. APL is a private, not-for-profit organization and operates primarily by donations.

​APL's limited admission animal shelter prioritizes intake by sick, injured, abused and abandoned dogs and cats. APL strives to match animals with carefully screened, loving, permanent owners. All animals leave our shelter spayed or neutered, microchipped, and with all age appropriate vaccinations. Over 2000 deserving dogs and cats are placed in homes every year! APL also has an active group of foster families who provide interim homes until space is available at our shelter.

​APL's Spay/neuter clinic performs over 12,000 spay/neuter surgeries every year. In addition to the public, we work with other animal shelters, animal control agencies and animal welfare groups within a 30-mile radius of Springfield. Our free transport system picks up animals from various locations and transports them to our facility for surgery and then returns the animals the following day. This allows many other organizations to have access to low-cost spay/neuter services for their own animals as well as animals in their communities. We currently work with 31 partners in 18 surrounding counties.
