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!

Nutmeg and his brother, Basil, are best buds. Super sweet and super comical. They love to cuddle up with their foster. They are "girl's best friend" kinda cats ! Do well with the other cat in foster home and respect his crabby old man attitude. Haha Also LOVE kids and greats all visitors ! These very easy going boys really need a home. Being a bonded pair, its been hard to find them adopters.

Story
I adopted Felix as my second cat back in Early July, they said that he was a stray, and had est. his 2nd bday to be around April of this year. Him and Freddie; my rambunctious 1 yr old kitty; got along great: they played, bathed each other, chilled, and sometimes fought, but usually ended in kisses and naps. Felix is the sweetest cat. He is a Velcro kitty: he wants pets, and chin scratches. I think he definitely requires an owner who can give him a lot of attention, and he honestly might be best as a single cat, maybe one other cat. My situation changed and in the meantime my parents are watching the cats (I live in a small townhouse, my parents a 2story;basmt. With 1 dog&1 cat) he was ok the first week I was not there, but has now started going outside of the litter box unfortunately, even after attempts to fix this and an increase in litter boxes on each floor. This was not an issue (1time) at my place. Im looking for a good person who can really help me help him. 🤍

Fluffy is very friendly and loves to be caressed and pat by kids. He's active and loves to be around people. I had great time with fluffy and I'm sure I'm gonna miss him for sure, but I can't keep him with me for long because landlord's restrictions. I hope I find a nice home for my lovely fluffy soon. He's vaccinated.
