Story
Meet Keanu – A Sweet, Independent Soul in Need of a New Home Keanu has been a part of our family since she was just 4 weeks old. She’s always been a cat who values her independence and prefers affection on her terms. While she has a sweet side, Keanu can be stand-offish, and she isn’t one to appreciate attention when she’s not in the mood. If she’s bothered, she may scratch or bite, making her best suited for a home without young children. With a 22-month-old and a newborn in the house, we’ve grown increasingly concerned about our toddler unintentionally disturbing her and getting scratched or swiped at. Keanu deserves a peaceful home where her boundaries are respected, and she can share her affection on her own schedule. If you’re looking for a companion who’s a little sassy and a lot independent, Keanu may be the perfect fit for you.

Story
We love our cats very much but unfortunately my wife and daughter have gotten allergic over time. We had them since they were kittens and they are 4 years old now. They are very much bonded and it is an absolute must that they stay together. Looking for a loving family home. We have a lot of kids and a baby and the cats are great with them. They are very gentle and friendly. The white and brown one is a bit shy of new people when he first sees them. This is a very heartbreaking decision for us but the allergies keep getting worse. My wife is having trouble breathing and my daughter is starting to get an asthmatic cough so we have no other choice. We would greatly appreciate if you sent us pictures of them and stayed connected to us. Requirements: 1) A loving family - they are used to our large family. 2) Absolutely no declawing. 3) The cats stay together.

Story
Mama TG was left at Cat Guardians on the Saturday before Father’s Day. The next day she gave birth to five beautiful kittens. The kittens are now big enough to be adopted out and sweet Mama TG is looking for her forever home too. She’s a very talkative and social kitty who loves to follow her foster mom around the house. She’s very affectionate and always looking for some back rubs and head scratches. The only thing she likes better than a good head scratch are lickable treats, which she has certainly earned! This very good mama is looking for a loving home where she can have some pampering for herself. She is sure to give her family lots of love in return.

Story
We rescued Rue on a camping trip. We took her home and got her vaxxed, microchipped, and back to a healthy weight. She is about 2 years old (according to the vet). She uses the litterbox but has been marking/peeing due to our first cat. They don’t fight often but they don’t quite get along either. She is so sweet with humans. Will roll over and accept tummy pets, is fine with being handled, and purrs like a machine! She gets a little skittish around the washing machine and loud noises but warms up to strangers like it’s nothing. While she enjoys car rides, she does not like being put in a carrier (she prefers to be in your lap or will sit in the passenger seat like a little lady). She loves sleeping with her humans, is very goofy when she plays, and is extremely food motivated making her a good candidate for training if you have the time. We love her very much but cannot keep her!

Story
Anika was the pet of a coworker of mine, who sadly had to give her up because his landlord does not allow cats. She is roughly 1.3 yrs old, and my colleague had her for about a year. We took her in roughly 1 month ago, and since then she has quickly warmed up to us. She was quite shy at first, but now she won’t leave me alone! She loves to meow, purr, cuddle, and be pet. Especially meowing, she enjoys making noise a lot. She is quite athletic and can get into trouble, so definitely be careful about what she’s up to. We have 2 cats already in the house, and they tolerate her. They haven’t had enough time to get to know her, so they often hiss at her. She is good natured and does not bite or scratch. The only time she has scratched me was the day she arrived. She cuddled with my brother that same night. I think she would make a great addition to homes with kids or with cats, due to her friendly nature. Some words I’d use to describe her are talkative, affectionate, and playful.

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!
