Hi there, I`m Aitken and I am 8 months old. I am a black and white tabby boy with a cute stubby tail. I was transferred to TAPS from a nearby shelter with a few friends. We were lucky enough to have made it out of the situation we were previously living in...and let`s just say there are a couple of us here that are exceptionally lucky to be alive. I am a sweet boy who gives head bumps, is somewhat talkative, gentle, very nice, friendly, and just plain easy to get along with. All I want to do is be with my friends...both human and feline! I do enjoy some dangling toys and some rolling balls, love my people and get along great with everyone! I am currently sharing an open cat room with some feline friends and doing just fine with them. There isn`t too much to not love about me! If you think I could be a good fit for you, please fill out an online application! I`d love to meet you and see if we are a good match!!

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.
