Domestic Shorthair kittens & cats in Springfield, Illinois

Our last remaining SCAC fall 2021 cat disaster survivor needs a home! Amanda is a cat person's cat. She is her own girl, it's her world, we are living in it. Know that and chin snuggles and purrs are yours (on Amanda's schedule of course). As are most divas, she is beautiful. Amanda came to us among the kitties staff handed out of the facility's full rooms of cats severely infected with upper respiratory as fast as they could in an attempt to save as many animals as possible. It was chaos and a terrible time. Amanda's saving grace was that once we finally got records and could decipher one that was hers, she had been vaccinated. Her case was mild and she responded well to proper treatment. Let us not forget, for the fear those times ever be repeated. Amanda remembers! Amanda was recently placed but returned. It was a short placement; what we tried to tell the adopter is that it takes time, ultimately you and Amanda will sync up and know each other well. Amanda's foster caregivers love her, have been caring for her and handling her for months, months that have often brought the joy of plenty of chin snuggles and purrs. Generally speaking, it is believed Amanda does best as the only animal in the home. There is a chance, with the right cat person, she will coexist if there is ample room in the home for everyone to have their own significant space. We need to find someone with a deep appreciation for cats, who can delight in this girl's feline ways and personality.

Boo is an incredibly affectionate cat. He would make someone a tremendous companion. He just wants to be with you, and sit on your lap. Boo spent early months of his life as a stray, most likely abandoned. Unfortunately he was infected with FIV. Boo is a lover not a fighter, but that could not be said of every cat in his original neighborhood. Further, he was injured badly and had a rough go of it for a number of months. He is on prednisone and most likely will need to remain on this support for the rest of his life -- at least that is the outlook for now. His specials needs, therefore, are that he is FIV positive and must be maintained on prednisone. The prednisone stimulates his appetite, which is why he is a bit on the heavy side. Boo would very much like to find a home where he could be fully integrated in the household. So he is looking for that special person who can accommodate his needs. He is worth every bit of this needed consideration. Due to his medical condition, the veterinarians have been cautious about vaccines.

Kasima means "beauty and elegance" and for this girl, it also means friendly, curious, and playful. This pretty 4-year-old lady has a great out-going personality and is at ease with guests. Definite black stripes mark silver fur with touches of honey brown. Kasima has good inside manners and faithfully uses her scratching post and litter box. She is quite fond of her squeaky mouse (which she freed from the end of her fishing pole toy) and is quick to toss it about and wrestle it into submission. Her feelings about being around children and other cats are not known. However, this little lady would be a great companion as she likes to be close to her human. Kasima enjoys being petted and picked up for a quick cuddle. She is very slow to warm up to other animals in the home, and would really be best as the only pet in the household. Kasima has been diagnosed with feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD) and requires a prescription urinary care diet. The diet is working very well for her. She also has had a dental, three teeth were extracted. Sometimes, when her foster parent is standing outside the apartment door getting ready to come in, Kasima will make greeting meows and chirps from the other side of the door. Kasima is spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations. She weighs 8.5 pounds. If you are interested in adopting a young, terrific cat, you can stop looking. Kasima is your little lady. Please contact us at petadoptions@illinoishumane.org to make the next step.

Mr. Dean is a beautiful cat. He is thought to be four to six years old. He weighs 13 pounds. Dean is a very inquisitive cat who can problem solve just about anything (aka can open just about any door/cabinet). He is affectionate and very self confident. He has no problems running with the dogs. His foster mom adores his confidence!! Dean and his foster home housemate kitties have become very bonded. They are now very attached to each other and we would like to place them together. Dean is rarely seen without one or both of the other 2. It would be heartbreaking to split them up, so we will insist the potential home adopt all three. Dean was a little offstandish with the other kitties at first, so it is unknown if he would take to other cats quickly in a new home.

Gibson is thought to be 8-10 years old. He is a very handsome tabby. He weighs 10.5 pounds. Gibson's special need is that he has been diagnosed with stomatitis, a dental disease. At his young age he has already had several teeth extracted. After intake and original dental care, including needed extractions, Illinois Humane has been able to stabilize him with monitored good care. Gibson was born to play! He is always looking for someone to play with. He is a fun guy to watch. Gibson is very bonded with his kitty companions in his foster home -- Squier and Dean. They came into Illinois Humane together and they have bonded even further in their foster home. It would be heartbreaking to split them up, so we must insist upon placing them together. And, Mr. Gibson stops at nothing for food! Gibson's one little hitch is that he is not always the best at drawing in his claws. For this reason, he is not a good match for young to mid-aged children, or individuals with thin skin or using blood thinners. He is a total sweetheart. He just doesn't always get it that he needs to draw in his claws.

Finn appeared as a kitten on our porch 4 years ago because he came out of the forest where there are feral strays. Finn loves to cuddle on your lap or sleep in your bed by your feet. He is affectionate, playful, and smart. He enjoys running after the laser light toy and he likes to climb the cat towers, use the scratching posts, and carry his toys around because he is active and likes to play. To help avoid damage to our furniture, we clip the tips off of his nails on all 4 paws every other week. We brush him out and give him treats after. Our family loves him and we want to keep him, but we know it would be best for him to go to a kind and caring home with no other cats or dogs. Because he is a larger dominant male, he often chases our other 3 cats. This causes them to be afraid of the litter boxes and food bowls. He also chases and tries to scratch our adopted dog. For these reasons we know Finn would thrive in a home with no other pets and with an owner who wants a cat to cuddle.

Butter was born along with 3 other siblings, in my daughter's bedroom on February 14 2021, after we took in his mama who had been a stray. We kept Butter and his brother Scotty. Butter is a very sweet, timid kind of cat who I've come to realize is not suited for a lot of noise and activity. Both of which our house is full of. He is easy to stress, and this causes litter box issues. He gets along with everyone and tolerates a lot, but he really just needs a quieter house.

Finn is an indoor cat who came up to our house out of the woods 5 years ago. He is playful and energetic. He enjoys chasing toys and getting brushed. He likes climbing onto his cat stand to watch the birds outside. He also likes to cuddle and get scratched on the ears and chin. He gets his nails clipped monthly. He eats a special food for cats who have had urinary stones and cannot eat treats due to that dietary restriction. We love him and don't want to lose him, but our older cats and dog do not get along with him. He needs a loving owner who will appreciate his needs in a home free of other pets.
