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
Raised him from 5-6 weeks old, a friend of a friend found him near a dumpster with siblings. He is a very cute, very dumb athletic boy. He loves to cuddle and parkour down the stairs! He does well with people, dogs, most cats, and small children. Would love to keep him however my female cat hates him with a passion and he has no idea his life may end if he moves wrong. He is neutered, but will need to be brought up to date on his shots.

These cats are in Loves Park, Illinois too!
