I once had a person say to me, "I don't know why anyone would come and pay $100 for a cat when I can go to my neighbors farm and he'll fill my car with them for free." Well, here's the full breakdown folks! (Not to mention sick visits)

Meet Taco, a resilient 9-week-old kitten with a heartwarming story of survival and love. Brought to the shelter on a warm Tuesday morning, at just 4 weeks old with a broken nose and battling distemper, Taco faced the odds head-on and emerged victorious. This brave little guy is now thriving in foster care alongside his two kitten buddies. Taco is a charming white kitten with delightful light orange spots. He absolutely adores being held and snuggled, melting into your arms with purrs of contentment. His playful nature is contagious, and he's always ready for an adventure with his friends. Despite his rough start, Taco has a zest for life and a unique personality. He's a bit of a messy eater, but that just adds to his charm! Taco's journey has made him a symbol of hope and resilience, and he's now looking for a forever home where he can continue to thrive and share his boundless love. Are you ready to welcome this little warrior into your heart and home? Come meet Taco and let him show you the true meaning of courage and affection. Taco has tested negative for distemper, had his age appropriate shots, been microchipped, and will be neutered at the age appropriate time.
Taco is UTD on vaccines, dewormer, microchipped, and will be neutered at no cost to you! His fee is $150. To adopt Taco, click this link: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/GRAS/Cat

Meet Peek-A and Boo, the inseparable 8-week-old tuxedo twins who are ready to charm their way into your heart and home! These resilient little fighters were brought to the shelter at just 4 weeks old after being orphaned. Thankfully, a compassionate Good Samaritan rescued them, giving them a chance at a better life. Shortly after arriving at the shelter, Peek-A and Boo faced a major hurdle. They came down with distemper, a serious and often deadly disease. But these determined kittens weren't going to give up. They received round-the-clock care in a loving foster home and, against all odds, have made a full recovery. After weeks of dedicated care, they have officially tested negative for distemper and are bursting with energy and love, ready to embark on the next chapter of their lives. Peek-A is the more adventurous of the duo, always the first to explore new nooks and crannies. Boo, on the other hand, is a bit more cautious but equally curious once he feels safe. Together, they create a perfect balance, providing endless entertainment and affection. They love to play, cuddle, and, true to their names, engage in adorable games of hide-and-seek. Peek-A and Boo are a bonded pair and must be adopted together. They've been through so much and have come out stronger and more loving than ever. If you're looking for a double dose of joy, laughter, and purrs, Peek-A and Boo are the perfect match for you. Bring these two little miracle kittens into your home, and you'll be rewarded with a lifetime of love and gratitude. Apply to adopt Peek-A and Boo today and give them the forever home they deserve! They are both UTD on vaccines and preventatives, microchipped, and will be eligible to be spayed and neutered once they meet the weight requirement.To adopt our playful pair, click this link: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/GRAS/Cat

If golf isn't your thiing, you can still help in a big way! Lottie wanted to tell you that we are still looking for donated auction items for our 1st Annual Golf Outing - Puttin’ for Paws! As advocates of humane care, we tirelessly work to provide shelter, care, and forever homes for all homeless cats and dogs in Lee, Ogle, and Whiteside counties.

Please bring donated items to our shelter by July 20th! We truly appreciate your support!
If you are are intersted in Lottie, as seen here, read on! Lottie is an almost 2-year-old German girl brimming with intelligence and energy! Lottie thrives on mental stimulation and is always eager to learn new things, making her a delightful and engaging companion. She excels in problem-solving and would benefit from a variety of activities to keep her sharp mind busy. Lottie requires a secure, fenced yard to safely explore and play. This is not our typical policy, but it is nonnegotiable in her case. Her vivacious nature and need for attention mean she should be the only animal in the home, ensuring she gets all the love and focus she deserves. She does not enjoy the company of other dogs or cats. She wants a home with no children under the age of 12. If you're looking for a bright, devoted, and dynamic addition to your household, Lottie is ready to bring joy and excitement to your life. She is up to date on vaccines, spayed, microchipped, and heartworm negative. Lottie's adoption fee has been paid for by a generous donor.

We have some really cool cats up for adoption right now!

Milton is a 2 year old grey tabby DSH. He is currently our longest resident and is very much your typical cat. He’s living his best bachelor life, but he is looking for his forever home!

Salsa is a 4 month old DSH tortie. She is such a sweet girl! She thrives with other cats and does great with them. She’s not spicy like her name or color suggests! All of Salsa’s littermates have been adopted and she’s looking for her new people!

Bo is roughly a year old black & white DSH. Bo is the best boy around! He loves to watch birds and greet you once you’re in the cat room. He has the cutest squeaky meow. He’s a very chill cat. Bo is looking for a really big window to sunbathe and watch birds! *Bonded to Trick.

Trick is a 10 month old black DSH/DMH, she has a very fluffy tail. Trick was part of our Halloween litter last year and she went home with Bo! Bo has showed her how to properly “cat” and she loves to play! Trick has opened up a lot since she’s been back and she’s the sweetest girl. We would love for Bo & Trick to go home together. *Bonded to Bo.
