Story
Saber and Benji are 5 months old and are from the same litter. They are a girl and a boy. They will be getting spayed/neutered in early December, she is extremely lovey and high energy and a loud purr. Her brother would love to be adopted with her, his name is Benji. Benji is very food oriented and vocal and very gentle. She is excited to make new friends human or animal and is very clever, and Benji will do anything for a treat! The pair of them are apart of the same litter as said, and have lived with other animals prior, used to dogs and another cat.

Story
Hi, my name is Jasper. I am a neutered boy, around 10 years of age. I use to live with an elderly lady and many other cats, but she died and then I was taken to a barn where I was locked up (with food and water) for nearly 2 years. Then a kind foster lady took me into her beautiful bedroom where I await my forever home. I love to sit in the window, sleep on/or under the bed, get petted/attention and love getting fresh water and food. I love lickable cat treats!! Every time my foster Mom sits on the edge of the bed to get up, I jump up and sit on her lap for a few minutes....it's our special time. I have always lived with other cats, but I would prefer a quiet household, where no one will harass me or frighten me. Please email or text my foster mom directly if you are interested in adopting me! 815-501-3937 My foster moms think I am a sweet boy. I am fully up-to-day on my vaccines... Rabies and Distemper 3-in-1 shot. Therefore my adoption fee is: $50 Thank you for your consideration!

Story
Hello, My name is Oliver. I am 4 years old! My current owner is looking to re-home me. Unfortunately, the newborn in our family is allergic to cats. Looking for a loving and caring home. I do well with, or without animals. I am super snuggly, especially when someone pulls out a blanket in front of me. I love lots of attention. Please do not take me outside. Outside makes me anxious. I love being indoors and staring out through the window. I am potty trained using the litter box. I get along with anyone (children, dogs or other cats).
