American Shorthair kittens & cats in Belvidere, Illinois

I have had Andi since she was a kitten. She is a well behaved cat and loves all the attention. She would do better in a single pet household. She has been with me for 11 years and has lived along side her mom as well but I moved into a new house a year ago with my boyfriend and we got a dog shortly after we moved. I knew that she was not fond of dogs but we got a puppy thinking they would adapt better that way. Since the move she has not been getting along with my other cat and she has not adjusted to the dog either. She has been going to the bathroom outside of the litter box for a while now and I feel like I have tried everything to help her and get her to stop. So I think she would be happier and do better in a new home with no other pets. She definitely loves all the attention she can get and loves to snuggle. She just doesn’t like other pets any longer and gets jealous and she does good with children but gets skittish around them and new people. But she has never been aggressive.

This cat just showed up at my house have no idea where he came from. I can’t keep him around I don’t have time to neuter him and take care of him me and my boyfriend both work full time. I’m just hoping someone is willing to take this sweet cat

My wife and I found Regi outside in the spring of last year. After nearly a year of attempting to get close to him and regular feedings we finally found success in trapping him just before the first snow of the year. After a few days of allowing him to adjust to the inside we brought him to the vet and got him neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all his shots. Regi is a confident boy who loves to play and receive lots of love from humans. I’ve never met a more snuggly and loving cat. As much as we would love to keep Regi and it breaks our heart to give him up. Our 6 other cats have not been adjusting and Regi has trouble picking up on social cues. We believe Regi will find more success in a one cat household where he won’t be misunderstood by other cats.

Meet Biscuit 🐾 Biscuit is a quiet, sensitive kitten who is still learning that the world can be a safe and kind place. He is shy and undersocialized due to limited human interaction early in life and will require a patient, understanding home as he continues to build confidence. Biscuit would do best in a calm, quiet home where he can decompress at his own pace and feel secure. A confident, friendly cat companion would be a huge help to him—he looks to other cats for reassurance and would benefit greatly from having a social role model to show him that people aren’t so scary. While Biscuit may not be a lap kitten right away, with time, consistency, and gentle care, he has the potential to make progress and build trust. He’s best suited for an adopter who understands shy cats and is willing to give him the space and patience he needs to feel safe. If you have a peaceful home and a big heart for a kitten who needs a little extra love and time, Biscuit could be a very special addition to your family. 💛🐱 Looking to bring lots of fun and excitement into your home?

Sam is a sweet 1-year-old tabby who’s looking for a patient and understanding forever home. She’s a little shy and scared at first, but with a calm environment and time to adjust, Sam’s true personality will shine through. She may need some extra reassurance, but once she feels safe, she’ll show you her softer side and could become your most loyal companion. Sam enjoys quiet spaces where she can feel secure, and while she might not be the most outgoing right away, she’ll appreciate your gentle attention and patience as she settles in. She’s a beautiful and loving girl who just needs a little extra time to warm up. Sam might take some time to trust, but she’s worth the wait if you’re looking for a shy but sweet friend to share your home with.
