Hi, I`m Primrose and I am 2 years old. I am a stunning tortoiseshell girl who has a story to tell. I found myself shut in a box with my four kittens and left out in the rain in front of a building they say was an animal control. I myself had managed to escape the box, but I could not get my babies out, so I sat next to the box in the rain, refusing to leave my babies. I was soaked when someone came. Things began to look up for us from there we went to TAPS and our foster home. My foster mom has this to say about me: ` Primrose has been an amazing mom and the sweetest girl. She is affectionate, friendly, enjoys pets, lets me pick her up gently, hold, and pet her. She loves gentle scratches under the chin and behind the ears. She likes to sleep at the foot of the bed or in a cat bed under my bed at night. She is still playful and enjoys toys, laser light and feather toys being two of her favorites. She also loves to sit in a window and birdwatch. She is friendly and quiet. She does not seem to be bothered by my other cats. She gets a little grumbly when she is scared but is otherwise very easy going. She has been through way too much in her young life and deserves to see what it`s like to be spoiled and live a charmed life. She will bring you lots of joy in return!` If you think I might be the girl for you, please fill out an online application so we can meet in person and see if we are that 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.
