Ace (JAMC-C-8904)

Ace and Samuel are the sweetest brothers, about 7 months old. Ace is a sleek black and Samuel is black and white, both are short-haired. Their foster mom has this to say about them:

They are quite the definition of brotherly love: they play, wrestle and groom each other when not napping or being curious about what our family is doing. They curl up with our daughter at night and in the morning patiently wait for her or another family member to wake up. Sometimes they will sit on your lap but more usually want to be near us. They love having their bellies rubbed and call to us when they want some attention. They are truly bonded and would be heartbroken if separated. Ace and Samuel would love to live together in a forever home with children and activity so they can be a part of it! Therefore, if you are looking for a sweet pair, here they are!

Ace's adoption fee of $120 includes: vet exam, feline leukemia test, FIV test, FVRCP (distemper combo) vaccination, deworming and neutering.

Blitzen (VWAL-C-9029)

Hi, I'm Blitzen, I'm a handsome male black tuxedo kitten, all dressed up and nowhere to go! I'm the strongest of all my siblings! I love to be pet and will climb in your lap and fall asleep. I love to play with everyone, but especially Dasher. I'm adventurous and like to explore. I'm even good with dogs! Santa rescued us during the holiday time and brought us to Adopt-A-Pet to take care of us until we were big and strong enough to be adopted into our forever homes. So now it's time . . . Come meet me and I know you will decide that you just can't live without me!

Blitzen's adoption fee of $135 includes: vet exam, Feline Leukemia test, FIV test, FVRCP vaccination, microchip, deworming and neutering.

Blitzen's estimated date of birth is 11-20-09.

Chester (IK-C-9035)

Chester is a gorgeous pumpkin orange tabby with the softest fur in town, estimated to be 3 years old and is 2-paw declawed. He is a sweet boy who would prefer to be your one and only cat but would tolerate another calm cat. He transitions somewhat slowly to his new environment, but once he is settled he does just fine and loves to cuddle in your lap and to pounce and play with catnip toys. Chester has grown more brave since he’s come to his foster family, and now loves to greet people at the front door. He has been a purring motorboat when he gets petted, and shows more and more personality every day. Chester will make an excellent companion for a single person or childless couple.

Chester's adoption fee of $135 includes: vet exam, Feline Leukemia test, FIV test, FVRCP (distemper combo) vaccination, rabies vaccination, deworming, microchip and neutering. Chester is also 2-paw declawed.

Cupid (AR-C-9010)

Adopted!!

 

 

 

Meet Cupid, an absolutely stunning siamese mix who is not only beautiful, but has an amazing story to tell. He is a true survivor.

It's hunting season in Southern Illinois - and apparently someone thought that Cupid would make a good practice target. Found in a rural area with an arrow piercing entirely through his body, it is unbelievable that someone would do this - it's more unbelievable that Cupid is still alive. After being given the surgery, medical attention and TLC he needed, he has made an amazing recovery. Within a week or so after arriving at his new foster home, he is totally settled in and comfortable.
Despite what he has been through, he is such a friendly and affectionate boy. He goes crazy chasing his toys around and attacking his big stuffed mouse. He looks like he would enjoy play-wrestling with another cat, but we are not sure since he is a solo cat in our home right now. If I approach him to pet him, he still mostly runs away. But then when I sit down and ignore him, he jumps on my lap and demands to be petted. He has become a nice cuddly lap cat, after he tires himself out running after his toys. He always has to be where the action is. On Thanksgiving we had over 10 people at the house, and he was right there in the middle of everything. When our 3-year-old grandson was here who didn't pay much attention to Cupid, Cupid was curious and followed him around. But when the 2-year-old granddaughter tried to give him kisses all the time, he ran away. But he often runs away when you approach him -- He just wants to cuddle on his terms, I guess.

Cupid is estimated to be 2 years old. His adoption fee of $150 includes: vet exam, Feline Leukemia test, FIV test, FVRCP (distemper combo) vaccination, rabies vaccination, flea preventative, deworming, microchip and neutering.

Dancer (VWAL-C-9025)

Hi I'm Dancer, I am a super sweet male kitten, so named because of my adorable little dancing shoes. I'm all black with little white shoes. I love to play and eat and be babied. I love to be held and picked up. Sometimes, I just want to be wherever you are on your lap. Santa brought us to Adopt-A-Pet during the Christmas season so we would be safe until we were ready for our forever homes. So now that we're ready, I want to tell you that my dream home would be with my sister Prancer, as we love to play and cuddle together.

Dancer's adoption fee of $135 includes: vet exam, Feline Leukemia test, FIV test, FVRCP vaccination, microchip, deworming and neutering.

Dancer's estimated date of birth is 11-20-09.

Duke (JL-C-8898)

Hi, I'm Duke, a very sweet and EXTREMELY friendly boy with a sleek shiny coat and bright greenish-colored eyes. I'm about to celebrate my first birthday and I've been waiting for my forever family to come and find me since I've been a baby kitten. I can't figure out why no one's picked me yet because I'm such a great little guy! I was starting to get an inferiority complex! But then my foster mom explained to me about "black cat syndrome". She explained that shelters are just overloaded with black cats (and dogs too!), and that in the pounds we're the first to be euthanized and the last to be selected for rescue. Can you believe that? Personally, I don't understand that at all because we black kitties are so beautiful. Sometimes we don't photograph so well, but if you could meet me in person you'd see how really handsome I am! Of course, at Adopt-A-Pet, I'm welcome to stay as long as it takes to find my family, so I'm one of the lucky ones. And as much as I love my foster mom, it sure would be nice to finally move into my forever home.

Let me tell you a little about myself: I'm a typical playful kitten who likes to run around and play with toys and other cats. I'm also very cuddly and like to be held or curl up in your lap. Ideally I'd love to go to a home with another friendly kitty playmate, but I'd also be okay as an "only child" as long as there was someone home a lot to play with me. I'm fine with dogs as long as they're friendly to me.

Forget what you think about black cats being bad luck. If you ask me, anyone would be very lucky to adopt me. I know Adopt-A-Pet is full of cats. All shelters are filled with cats. Filled with lots of cats. Lots of black cats. I'm just one of many. One of many. But maybe . . . just maybe, I'm the ONE for YOU!

Duke is feline leukemia and FIV negative, and his adoption fee of $115 also includes a vet exam, FVRCP (distemper combo) vaccination, rabies vaccination, deworming and neutering.

Jackson  (JKH-C-9046)

Jackson is a sweet "teenage" kitten, about 6 to 8 months in age. He's a very handsome tabby tuxedo with the cutest little white socks! He's a friendly, outgoing boy that enjoys the company of others, both human and feline. Jackson is new to Adopt-A-Pet, so stay tuned for further info. as we get to know him better.

Jackson's adoption fee of $125 includes: vet exam, feline leukemia/FIV test, flea preventative, FVRCP vaccination, rabies vaccination, deworming, microchip and neutering.

Joey (CGER-C-8851-R)

5-22-09

5-22-09

Joey is a very mellow fellow, he takes everything in stride. He does not waste any time accepting people; you are immediately his best friend. He loves to sit on your lap and has a beautiful soft coat for your petting enjoyment. Joey is a good sized 2-3 year old orange tabby with a great personality. Joey is quite bonded with his foster brother, Josiah, and we would love to see them be adopted into the same home. But we also think he'd be fine as an only cat as long as he gets plenty of attention. Joey is also fine with dogs.

Joey's adoption fee of $115 includes: Vet exam, flea preventative, feline leukemia test, FIV test, FVRCP (distemper combo) vaccination, rabies vaccination, deworming and neutering.

Josiah (CGER-C-8881)

3-14-09

3-14-09

Josiah is a young adult that we believe to be about 1.5 years old. He's gorgeous, sleek and solid black (except for one white whisker!) This fellow is a stitch...so funny, lively and animated. He's got a personality to beat the band ... not shy at all, loves to meet dogs and actually thinks he is one. He's just a blast to have around. He loves to do office work ... he's one who will investigate whatever you're working on, so if you're a work-at-home person, get ready for a little office helper! He is good buddies with his foster roommate, Joey, and we would love to see them be adopted together. It's not mandatory, but, since he is so playful he would need to have the company of another rambunctious kitty to wrestle around with - so if you already have a kitty at home looking for a playmate, Josiah's your guy! Or adopt him and his pal, Joey, and you'll have a ready-made family. Also, if you really would like a dog, but are not able to have one - again - Josiah's your guy!

Josiah's adoption fee of $115 includes: vet exam, flea preventative, feline leukemia and FIV test, FVRCP (distemper combo) vaccination, rabies vaccination, deworming, microchip and neutering.

King Tut (MS-C-9047)

New Arrival!!

I am a soft, sleek male gray tabby, just barely 1 year old, maybe a little under. I was named King Tut because I look like an Egyptian cat with a long, triangular face. My exotic looks will make you want to hold me and pet me. If you do, I will purr, purr, purr! I love other kitties and want to play, but love to cuddle with my human too.

I am a very special kitty not only because I'm so sweet, but because I have also been diagnosed with juvenile cataracts. What that means is that we have to wait and see what the future holds. My vision is fine now, and my cataracts are categorized as "immature" and may or may not progress in time. Sometimes cataracts spontaneously resolve on their own, sometimes they stay the same, and sometimes they progress and get worse, which means that my vision might fail down the line. My vet says that even if the worst happens, that progression of vision loss due to cataracts usually occurs over a long period of time and most cats are able to adjust to the loss of vision without any problem. While cataracts can sometimes be treated through surgery, many cats adjust so perfectly that it is not even necessary.

So, I am looking for my forever home with a wonderful owner who will be my friend and companion forevermore and who is willing to stand by me through whatever the future may hold. Are you that special someone?

King Tut's adoption fee of $75 includes: vet exam, Feline Leukemia test, FIV test, FVRCP (distemper combo) vaccination, rabies vaccination, deworming and neutering.

Lava (SH-C-9044)

Adopted!!

 

My name is Lava and I'm a really handsome young black shorthaired male, front-declawed, 2 years old, and about 10 lbs. As you can sort of see from my pictures, I have big, round amber eyes, that are rather striking - but you have to see me in person to really appreciate the contrast of my eyes against my lush, sleek, soft coat.

My foster mom says there should be a picture of me in the dictionary next to the word "lapcat" (isn't that 2 words?). She thinks I will make someone very happy who wants a kitty who will stick around for petting and to cuddle with at night. I don't mind other cats or dogs, and my foster mom thinks I'll be just fine with children who are nice to cats. So, what's this business about black cats taking longer to get adopted? That's Crazy! Don't people know how handsome, striking and uber-friendly we are? Come adopt me and I will so enhance your life (and I'll make your decor pop with a feline accent :-) 

Lava's adoption fee of $130 includes: vet exam, Feline Leukemia test, FIV test, FVRCP vaccination, rabies vaccination, fecal exam & deworming, microchip and neutering. Lava is also 2-paw declawed.

Ross (LO-C-8849)

1-26-09

Ross is a handsome male tabby; he's not too big and not too small. His coat is very interesting, almost like modern art with its asymmetrical twisting and turning of black and grey. At an estimated 2 years of age he still shows a great pleasure in Play! He loves being around people and enjoys playing with cats, but lets the dog know he needs to keep his distance. Ross will fit into any kind of family, and will make himself at home in anyone's lap. He will let you know when he wants attention, and loves sleeping in bed with you at night. If you're looking for a sweet guy with a charming personality, Ross is your guy!

Ross and his foster buddy Toulouse have made fast friends, so if you're looking for an adorable pair, look no further!

Ross's adoption fee of $115 includes: Vet exam, flea preventative, feline leukemia test, FIV test, FVRCP (distemper combo) vaccination, rabies vaccination & tag, deworming and neutering.

3-14-09

3-14-09

Toulouse is a very handsome gray and white male, about 3 years old, with very soft fur. Though it took a couple of weeks for him to adjust to his foster home, now is doing wonderful. He likes to play with the other cats and has no problem with the dog. He follows his foster mom around just to get a little petting and at night likes to watch TV on the couch and be petted. He loves the sound of his name and always talks back. He will make a wonderful companion in a quieter household with or without other animals.

He is quite friendly with his foster buddy "Ross" so if you're looking for a ready-made pair, please consider this darling duo!

Toulouse's adoption fee of $115 also includes: vet exam, flea preventative, feline leukemia and FIV test, FVRCP (distemper combo) vaccination, rabies vaccination, deworming, microchip and neutering.

Wilson (JDRF-C-8816)

Wilson is such a handsome orange tabby with the cutest pink nose. He is about 3 years old. He is an extremely loving and affectionate cat. His foster mom has decided that he would probably be happiest as an "only" pet and that is most likely the type of environment he came from. When the other pets in the foster home are not around, he will jump on your lap or rub up against you and wants lots of cuddling and attention. He will make a wonderful companion and lap cat.

Wilson's adoption fee of $115 includes: vet exam, flea preventative, feline leukemia test, FIV test, deworming, rabies vaccination and tag, FVRCP (distemper combo) vaccination, and neutering.

11-20-08

Yo Yo Meow is a sweet, pale orange, shorthaired male, about 2 years old. He has adapted to his new foster home and is doing well with the resident cats there, but we are unable to inform you how he will react with large dogs or small children. Yo Yo is extremely friendly, enjoys head rubs, chasing down thrown toys and sleeping next to the foster parents at night. He has the perfect balance of being a lap cat and maintaining his own independence. He does not constantly whine for attention, but will make himself heard when necessary or when the sound of a can is being opened. :-)

Yo Yo Meow's adoption fee of $115 includes: vet exam, flea preventative, feline leukemia test, FIV test, FVRCP (distemper combo) vaccination, rabies vaccination and tag, deworming, microchip and neutering.

Ziggie (AD-C-9049)

New Arrival!!

This is Ziggie, aka "Biggie Smalls", who got his nickname for his disproportionately large head and a skinny little body. Now that he's off the streets and safe in a foster home getting fed regular meals, his body is catching up with his head! Biggie is about 1 year old, with beautiful amber colored eyes. He is very loving and in return wants everyone to love him back. He does great with other cats and has become very playful. He's just a sweet, friendly and happy cat that will fit nicely into any type of household.

Biggie's adoption fee of $115 includes: vet exam, feline leukemia/FIV test, flea preventative, FVRCP vaccination, rabies vaccination, deworming and neutering.
