American Shorthair kittens & cats in Sandwich, Illinois

Meet Scotchie-Sweet Boy!! His name is really Butterscotch, but his friends call him Scotchie. We think we will call Scotchie, he seems to make a friend of everyone he meets. This sweet little guy just wandered into the neighborhood a few weeks ago, like soooo many before him. Stray cats can come and go in any location, some are truly feral and others like Scotchie are quite social. Perhaps he has had some previous human interaction, so it seems. Scotchie began making regular appearances around a few houses in the neighborhood and even ended up on our deck with all of our foster dogs!! Well, they scared him up a tree(they are actually pretty harmless)and he eventually made it safely down and on his way. Although we are a dog foster, there is a family next door that are the cat whisperers, not a job they intended on!! So far they have 3 of these local strays, and a family member has 2 more. Scotchie apparently knew where to go. As evasive as he was initially one day he had a change of heart. Tammy(the cat whisper) came home from work and had the garage door open. Scotchie made his move. He RAN in the garage and started rubbing on Tammy's legs and being very affectionate. His plan worked! Tammy took him down to the cat room downstairs for isolation and to begin his vetting journey. He was checked out, received his vaccinations and was just neutered. He is in great shape despite being on his own for who knows how long? Scotchie is over a year old, perhaps 18 months, but still a young cat. He is looking for a loving him, someone to spoil and cuddle. The family is asking for an adoption fee of $100, which will cover a little of his vetting expenses. Please email Kristine at joysparrows@gmail.com.

Dune is approximately three years old. She was originally adopted in Colorado and a family member could not keep her due to job moves / relocations. I brought her to Illinois approx. 18 months ago. I have other elderly adults moving into my residence and allergies prevent them from having a cat.

Meet Moon 🌙🐾 Moon is a 2-year-old sweet and curious kitty with a lot of charm. He can be a bit reserved at first, but once he feels comfortable, he shows his affectionate side. Moon loves being petted on his head and will happily soak up attention there, though he prefers to keep his back end area off-limits. With patience and gentle care, Moon can become a loving companion for someone who understands his preferences and gives him the space he needs. He’s ready to find a calm, loving home where he can share his curiosity and sweetness. 💛 Stop in and Moon in person during our adoption hours.

Meet Biscuit 🐾 Biscuit is a quiet, sensitive kitten who is still learning that the world can be a safe and kind place. He is shy and undersocialized due to limited human interaction early in life and will require a patient, understanding home as he continues to build confidence. Biscuit would do best in a calm, quiet home where he can decompress at his own pace and feel secure. A confident, friendly cat companion would be a huge help to him—he looks to other cats for reassurance and would benefit greatly from having a social role model to show him that people aren’t so scary. While Biscuit may not be a lap kitten right away, with time, consistency, and gentle care, he has the potential to make progress and build trust. He’s best suited for an adopter who understands shy cats and is willing to give him the space and patience he needs to feel safe. If you have a peaceful home and a big heart for a kitten who needs a little extra love and time, Biscuit could be a very special addition to your family. 💛🐱 Looking to bring lots of fun and excitement into your home?
