Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
Meet Winnie, a delightful 4-year-old short-haired torbie with a charming mix of independence and affection. With her laid-back demeanor, Winnie is the perfect balance of playful and relaxed. She adores attention and will gladly soak up all the pets you're willing to give, but she also appreciates her alone time to recharge. Winnie has a playful streak and loves to surprise you with bursts of zoomies and playful antics before settling down for a good lounge session. She's looking for a forever home where she can enjoy cuddles, playtime, and the freedom to just be her wonderful self! If you're 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.
