Domestic Mediumhair kittens & cats in Freeport, Illinois

Sugar is a healthy female cat. She enjoys a lot of alone time. Very skittish around noise and commotion. She will occassionally like to cuddle up to you once she knows you for some head butts and purrs. She can tolerate dogs and cats, but is on the grouchy side with them. No fights, but she likes to assert her dominance with them. She originally lived with an elderly man who passed in June 2021. Same month my aunt then adopted her. However, she later had to move to a senior living facility that didn't allow pets, so I took her in as a foster Feb 2022. Already, she'd been in three/four homes, and I couldn't see her going back to a shelter. After several scenarios on my 5 year old cat and dog, who was our original cat, I've decided after 2 years of trying, Sugar needs to find a better home for her needs. She is getting her yearly rabies vaccine this afternoon, so she will have a recent vet appt/exam done.

Hello,I can be a little warry of new people, I am still getting used to visitors. Once I know that you're there for me I will want lap time with you, I might even fall asleep on you. I came to shelter with my brother-Luke and sister-Rory. We enjoy being held and playing with all the toys in our room, and enjoy treats when offered.My siblings and I like to play with toys, please watch our video: https://youtu.be/P8ipbSRLhCkThis kitten is too young to be spayed at this time and is also too young to receive her 1st rabies vaccination. Adopters are required to fill out a Kitten Addendum and a separate check for a $100 security deposit at the time of adoption, these serve as a 'promise' that the adopter will make sure the kitten receives their sterilization and vaccinations when they are old enough. The check will be returned to the adopter once we receive confirmation from a veterinarian that the kitten has been brought into their facility. Thank you for helping us battle the cat overpopulation crisis! Please visit our website www.safehavenforpets.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.

This kitty is very social and loves to be around people and will let you love on her without a fuss. She is very vocal and loves to have little chats, don't worry she doesn't get very loud.

If interested in a pet from us please fill out the adoption application that is located on our website.  We process applications in the order in which they are received.  We will likely not respond to interest emails regarding puppies and/or kittens, we get so many "interest" emails that we simply do not have the time to respond to each one.  We always recommend playtime, positive reinforcement training and a regular schedule for feeding times when bringing a new cat/kitten into your home. Adjustment takes time for both you and your new family member, so remember to be patient and enjoy this new and exciting time!Included in the adoption fee are age appropriate vaccinations, FeLV/FIV testing, deworming, spay or neuter surgery, and microchip. Anti-Declawing Policy:All cats and kittens will have a no declaw policy in their adoption contract with us!  Declawing is a series of bone amputations.  Declawing is more accurately described by the term de-knuckling and is not merely the removal of the claws, as the term “declawing” implies.  In humans, fingernails grow from the skin, but in animals that hunt prey, the claws grow from the bone; therefore, the last bone is amputates so the claw cannot re-grow.  Declawing is one of the most painful, routinely performed procedures in all of veterinary medicine.  Each toe of the cat is amputated at the first joint.  Declawing a cat is equivalent in a person to amputating the entire first knuckle of every finger.  Declawing is done strictly for the benefit of the owner.  There are NO benefits to the cat and NO good reasons to declaw. Declawing can lead to behavior changes.  A declawed cat has no way to defend itself and may resort to biting more often.  Due to pain, they may stop using the litterbox.  There are humane alternatives to declawing.  Cats can be trained to use scratching posts.  They should have their nails trimmed regularly.  There is double sided sticky tape that can be put on furniture to deter a cat from scratching there.  There are also nail caps called Soft Paws that are glued onto a cat's naile cat’s nails without harm. ##2062205##
