Story
*** To alleviate the need to bring an animal into the shelter environment, The Anti-Cruelty Society has the Home-to-Home Shelter Bypass service to help people find new accommodations for their pets privately. These animals are not located in any of the Society`s physical locations. If you are interested in adopting this animal, please do NOT click the Adopt Me button and instead reach out to the current owner directly via the email provided in the profile. As this is a Home-to-Home animal you are not required to fill out an Anti-Cruelty Society adoption application form. ***Bella is very quiet and a sleeper. She likes soaking in the sun/sun spots and sleeping. The only reason why she has to go is because she urinates on furniture. She uses the litter box but for some reason she just goes on couches, blankets, rugs, and clothes that are on the floor. She was found in 2014 by a shelter in Chicago on April 1st. She does not bite. She tolerates kids very well, but she does not like when kids are rough with her. For adoption information, please email abrialanier3@gmail.com.

Story
Meet Midnight, a charming adult feline with a heart as sweet as honey. Midnight is a quiet and shy boy. He needs time and patience to feel safe in a new home. Once he settles in and trusts you, he becomes a sweet and loving companion! He could be easily startled by loud sounds or strangers and will hide in his safe spaces when frightened. But with love and patience, he will slowly open up and show his love to you in the sweetest ways.  Midnight has a fondness for sitting by the window, his curious eyes taking in the world from the safety of his cozy corner. He`s a real character, with a love for jumping into bed whenever he feels like it. You`ll know when he wants pets, as he has a unique way of letting you know. He also enjoys a good grooming session, finding great comfort in the gentle strokes of a comb. Midnight has a healthy appetite—especially for chicken!  He gets especially affectionate when he’s hungry—sometimes jumping into your lap and wrapping his paws around you to ask for food. He enjoys gentle interaction. He also loves playing hunting games and chasing the feather wand toy. Besides, he always uses his litter box and keeps a clean routine. His demeanor is soothing, his presence, a comfort. Adopt Midnight and bring home not just a pet, but a loyal friend who will fill your life with warmth and unconditional love. If you give him the chance, Midnight will surprise you!
