Story
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.

Story
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.

Story
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? Kittens like me are the best of both worlds—playful and full of energy, yet also sweet and cuddly! I’ll keep you entertained with my playful antics, and when I’m ready to wind down, I’m all about snuggles. My cute face may be hard to resist, but keep in mind, I’ll need plenty of your time and attention as I grow. Exploring your home and discovering new adventures is what I do best—are you ready for the fun challenge? Kittens like me thrive in pairs, meaning double the trouble, double the fun, and double the love! What could be better than one kitten? Two, of course! To encourage adopting kittens in pairs, if you adopt me with a buddy, the adoption fee for both of us will be just $500. Come meet me in person during our adoption hours, or reach out to info@ahconnects.org or call 847-697-2880 x: 0. Our friendly staff will be happy to help. All of our cats and kittens go home: • Spayed or neutered • Microchipped • Up to date on core vaccines • Protected with flea and tick preventatives • With a 3.5 lb bag of Iams cat food • And a free vet exam at a participating veterinary partner

Story
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. Could you be the calm, loving person Sam needs to help her feel safe and loved? Stop in and meet my cute self in person during our adoption hours. For more information, email info@ahconnects.org or call us at 847-697-2880 x: 0, and the staff will be happy to help you. Our cats and kittens go home spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on core vaccines, flea, and tick preventatives.
