Story
Hi, I'm Milo! I am approximately 2-3 years old and was rescued off the streets for treatment of a (now fully healed) injury. My rescuers really wanted me to be a part of their family, but they already have another cat - she and I don't like each other at all, even after months of trying. However, they did get me fully vetted, fixed, and housebroken! I like harnessed leash adventures and know tricks: paw, sit, and spin! My humans are willing to give you my litterbox, food, bed, and other supplies if you need - I just don't want to live in my foster mom's office forever :( I love toys, lap naps, being brushed, catnip, affection, and any/all food! However, I'm scared of other cats from living outside for so long, and I initiate fights as a resuIt - I need to be king of my castle! I am marked as special needs because I am FIV+ and am on a lysine supplement, but I have not had any health problems from it.

Story
Hi this is Muffin Top we call her Muffin. She’s about 3 years old. She was originally adopted from a humane society where she came in as a stray. She’s shy and scared of a lot of things but she is the most sweetest little girl ever. She loves tummy rubs and will roll on her back for them. She loves food and treats. If you give her a chance she’ll be the best cat ever. We aren’t able to keep her since she is so shy and we have a 7 month old son who she’s just scared of and hides all day long. I want her to have a home where she’s comfortable and confident and sadly we can’t give that to her anymore. No adoption fee I want her given to a good home. You can text me 920-645-1372

Story
Disclaimer: This animal is not in Anderson custody. and is a courtesy post to help a member of the community rehome directly without shelter intervention. Any adoption inquiries should be directed to the owner at Ellie2979@yahoo.com or (630) 391-3963. Anderson Humane makes no guarantees regarding medical or behavioral status of this animal, and the current owner is solely responsible for disclosing any challenges or concerns. Luke is so friendly, and quirky. I found him at 2 years old as a stray. No telling what he got into before that but I was told he might've fallen off a cargo truck from Georgia. He wasn't fixed and had worms. He was warming up one day under my ex-boyfriend's truck and then he became mine. FF 3 years. Luke is a charming, large, and fully healthy 5 year old and 1 month male cat. When inside, his favorite thing to so is sprawl out while he and his human watch tv. He is the best co-pilot.!! He also likes to daydream by the window, listening for critters or birds. When outside, he likes sprawling out on the cool ground, walking in gardens, and picking at plants. He has gotten loose 2 or 3 times, where I found him within the same day in the neighbors gardens, and once he just walked back to the front door where his food and water were. I brush him routinely with Burts Bees waterless shampoo. He is a very sheddy orange cat. The vet says American shorthair but I don't know where the "short hair" classification comes from because I could go on brushing him and removing hair from him for days. He acts like he doesn't like to be brushed but he does. He loves being a pretty boy. As long as you keep him clean he shouldn't provoke any allergy problems. His favorite toys and cat beds are anything colorful that is truly unique, just like him. He like crunchy treats and that is usually how I care for his dental health. I have also used minty gel which he really enjoys. He likes Shiba catfood, and meow mix dry food. If you mix it together for him that's just the best. Praying Luke and I find a forever home give him the stimulation, safe environment, and needs to be met that he deserves. Currently, my household has adopted a pitbull who is untrained and uncrated. And Luke is left for long periods of time, often days, in the master bedroom, where the dog barks and pushes/knocks at the door. I'm also 5 months pregnant and just want to find the right home and situation for him before the baby comes and there is even less I can do.... Please consider adopting this cutie!! It would mean the world to me!
