Nemesis is a sweet brown tabby with the softest fur and the biggest heart. She is a true cuddle bug who loves snuggling with her people and curling up for cozy naps. While she enjoys playtime, Nemesis is especially happy being close and soaking up affection. She would do best in a home with another young cat or kitten, ideally one of her sisters, so she can continue to thrive with companionship and comfort. Nemesis was rescued on New Year’s Eve in Rosemont and is currently fostered in Chicago.

Story
Our poor 2 year old female, Honey has been through a lot. We rescued her from a house with 30-40 cats of all different ages fending for themselves, with 2 litter boxes and only a few bowls of water and food. We found her as this calm little baby, but we knew her calm was because she was giving up. We brought her immediately to our vet and nursed her back to full health. She was separated from our 2 male cats for the month, because of ear mites and other problems that we’d addressed with vet. After that month the three cats mended and bonded so well, and she was the missing link to our family we didn’t know we needed. Then our son was born, and the trauma of her past came back, as we introduced an unpredictable small human (she’d never met kids) into the home. At first, she seemed well. After 6 months, we realize his presence brought out her past. Skittish, hides for days, won’t come out to eat. Will pee where she’s hiding, from fear of coming out. We’ve tried everything, help :( <\3

Story
Meet Bartender, a strikingly handsome grey tabby whose heart is massive but still learning to trust. His shyness isn't a challenge; it's a testament to his sensitive soul and the profound love he's waiting to give to HIS person. He's currently a Professional Sleeper, a title he’s earned by perfecting the art of cozy, secure napping in his favorite safe spot. Here is the heart-melting secret: Bartender has started to let his trusted human friends offer him gentle pets while he's sleeping. This is a big step, a vulnerability that proves his capacity for love just waiting to be awakened. Earning Bartender's trust will be a small journey, but the bond you form will be unlike any other. Every tiny step he takes toward you is a personal victory that you both get to celebrate. Bartender needs a quiet, low-traffic, predictable home where he knows he is safe, always. Are you the loving person who can show this sweet young soul that life is beautiful and secure? Are you ready to trade instant cuddles for the profound reward of a trust that is slow-earned and forever loyal? Give Bartender the stability he deserves, and watch the quiet magic of his massive heart bloom just for you! Bartender is neutered, up-to-date on his FVRCP and Rabies vaccinations, and he is FIV and FeLV negative. Bartender is currently staying at our Heartland Facility! We are open Thursday 4pm-7pm, Friday 4pm-7pm, Saturday Noon-6pm and Sunday Noon-6pm. Feel free to stop by to meet him! No appointment necessary.

Story
Meet Phil! Phil and his 2 brothers, Ken and Marty, used to live under the deck of 2 cool math teachers who brought them inside before it got too cold outside. They were lucky to stay with a wonderful foster home before they were ready to come onsite for adoption. While at the shelter, Marty and Ken were the braver of the two brothers, and they have both since found loving homes. Phil was on the shyer side and would often find a quiet place to hide and observe from afar, only letting a select few people at the shelter in to his heart. Phil has since gone into another foster home to give him a break from shelter life. At first he would hiss when the foster mom would come into the room, but she bought his love with a Churu and a wand toy - 2 of his favorites! Since then, he’s really shown his affectionate side and his enjoyment of receiving pets. There are two kids aged 4 and 7 in the foster home who Phil has met. Everyone gets along well, but Phil will hide when the kids start to have a little too much fun. Before moving back into a foster home, he was in a community cat room while at Heartland. We do believe he would do well with other cats, however, he may also do well on his own with an active and playful owner. He would do best in a quiet and patient home where he is able to come out of his shell at his own pace. Once he does, you will have your very own extra loyal cuddle bug. Phil is neutered, up-to-date on his FVRCP and Rabies vaccines and negative for FIV and FeLV. Phil is currently staying in a lovely foster home. Please email cats@heartlandanimalshelter.org to arrange a meeting!
