American Shorthair kittens & cats in Carlinville, Illinois

Mini is a great cat who is very friendly with people, loves the attention. She unfortunately is not a big fan of dogs and now that the kids are a little older, she is not getting the love and attention she deserves since she prefers the basement away from the dogs. She would love to be with people that like cats and have time to be with her more than she gets today.

Ace Boogie aka boo is a very sweet cat. She minds her own business about 50% of the time then like to cuddle the other. My son will not be gentle with her and she obviously doesn't like it. I would like to find her a good home who can love her like she deserves. She is fine with dogs. Does well with my son but we just can't get him to leave her alone and she's been having behavior issues since it started. Older kids would be fine for her. Please help me find her a forever home. I was only supposed to be a temporary home for her and that was 3 years ago, you would love her just like I do.

We got Jack eight years ago when he was a kitten. He was sweet, affectionate, and very playful as a kitten. These days, he’s much more calm and subdued, but he loves chilling in a warm lap and getting lots of pets. Jack was raised in an environment without children, and unfortunately does not seem to love the attention our toddler gives him. He gets stressed out by too much noise, and he doesn’t love change. We are having another child and he is not adjusting well to changes in the new nursery and household in general. Jack would thrive in a home without children and other pets where he can be king. When it’s just him, Jack is a delightful roommate who loves to snuggle and hang out. Jack is on a prescription diet of Hill’s Science C/D wet and dry food.

You might notice that Suki is a male cat with a rather feminine name. As kitten he was miss identified as a girl but the name has already stuck. Suki was an abandoned kitten found by a friend of mine in winter 2009. A couple of years ago I took in Suki when my friend was moving out of the country and Suki has been my constant companion since. He is extremely friendly and will come up to guest he just met for the first time and not afraid of children. Interestingly, Suki doesn't understand having to move out of the way for anyone since I always walk around him whenever he is in the way. I would describe Suki as a friendly old man who would rather eat treats as food all time!

Sherman was born in August, 2021 and came to live with us as soon as he could. It is not easy to surrender him to another family, but he is not happy here with one of our older cats that causes him great stress. Due to that, he will sometimes pee outside of the litter box. He is potty trained and uses the box most of the time, but our vet thinks that he gets anxious around Olive. She taunts him every day and makes him a nervous wreck. We would surrender Olive, but we've had her a lot longer, and our daughter is more attached to her. Sherman loves to cuddle and sleep in our bed, and turns on his little purring motor instantly. We love him dearly, so we really hope someone loving, perhaps with no other cats, will adopt him.
