For the homeless, abused, or neglected cats of the Illinois Valley area.
We are grateful to be included in the distribution day of Rescue Pack! Because of their wonderful organization, our rescues can eat well and we received litter too! Special thanks to Circle Industrial for the truck, trailer, driver Ron and also for storage space!
Frilla and her babies are doing well! The babies are on their own now with mom resting and receiving treatments preparing for her spay! They are not ready for adoption yet but they are gaining weight and doing well! š»ā¤ļø We/they are grateful for the support that was received!
Jetās dream came true today! Heās on his way home and will be spending his first night in his new home! As with the majority of our rescues, Jet came to us in poor condition and we helped heal all the past with medical and love! Now, he has love and safety forever and will bring needed joy to his new mom too! She, rightfully so, has no concern that he is FIV positive and thought that was just another reason to choose him!! We agree! Congratulations to both! š»

It's time to "Clear The Shelters" Wow! That would be so wonderful. If everyone able (space, love and financially) to promise a forever home to another adopted now? What a wonderful world it would be!
We have many sweet babies looking to find their forever homes; like these 3 special babies! They are extra special since they were all in need of medical treatment when they were rescued! They spent their lives outside, reproducing, subjected to the male fighting and very rough conditions. All were abandoned by their previous owners who moved without them. They will not know those conditions again! They are healthy now and the last step for their dreams to come true is adoption! All are FIV positive which is of no concern. Can't adopt right now, share their post; you never know who might spot that face they have been searching for! When sharing our posts, please make sure to type something about it on your page since it seems that will stop unnecessary removal of the post by Facebook! You can learn more about Ginger (left), Jet, (top right) and Chance at www.safehousepets.org
Adoption pending
I canāt believe the sweet little girl hasnāt had one application. She is the most darling, loving cuddly girl with the most beautiful markings. She is just over three months old up-to-date on all her shots and micro chipped and spayed loves to play with toys or sit on your lap You can adopt her by putting an application in. ļæ¼ https://www.safehousepets.org/info/adoption
Amore is ready to love
By the time we received the official panleukopenia diagnosis, we had already done 6 days of around the clock care and the babies had survived! Feeling defeated and exhausted, we found strength amongst our team members and the awesome team at Ancare Veterinary Hospital! They continue to improve each day and we are so grateful that they could survive! They will not be ready for adoption for quite some time, and today we can celebrate their lives and improving health! š»
At 17 pounds at intake, itās difficult to believe that stress caused Emma to stop eating. Yet with complete medical testing done, there was no other reason. It took 15 days for Emma to eat on her own after the loss of the only home she knew! She continues to receive food via her feeding tube yet we are so happy to see this and hope it will continue. Sheās so sweet! š»
This is Amore. She is the most goofy girl with attitude galoreļæ¼ļæ¼ she is just under four months old a dilute Torti with a gorgeous face. Video is in comments, Please check her out. She is ready for adoption. She has been spayed, micro chipped, and has all age appropriate shots. We need to make room we are limited in space. So if you have room in your heart forever this is the girl for you

Today we would like to introduce you to Emma. She is a sweet 3-year-old girl with a sad story to share. A sad story that didn't have to be. A little over a week ago her owner took her to the vet on suspicion of a UTI and possible diabetes. The owner was planning on moving and said Emma was not using the litterbox. Instead of pursuing some basic diagnostic tests to see what was going on with Emma, the owner requested she be euthanized. Euthanized, at 3 years old! Thankfully we were contacted and were able to make emergency arrangements to spare her life. While this was great news, the transition from her home to Safe House has not been an easy one for Emma. Emma had been in her home with her owner since she was a kitten, so it was all she has ever known. We have spent just over a week getting to know her and trying to help her heal and adjust to all the things that have changed in her life. Since she joined us at Safe House, she has been withdrawn and not eating on her own. As a result, yesterday she went to the vet to have a feeding tube placed. She also had her urine checked, and sure enough there are both bacteria and struvite crystals, which we will be treating her for. Emma's UTI is the most probable reason for her not using her litterbox in her former home, though she has been using it during her time with us thus far. Her bloodwork was good and she is not diabetic, though she is severely overweight. We wish things could have been different and Emma could have gotten the treatment she needed and remained in her home. Since that wasn't the case, we are happy to welcome her to Safe House and we will do all we can to help her recover and hopefully find her real FOREVER home in the near future.
Frilla and her babies continued to improve throughout the day and night. This morning Frilla has her appetite back and we see and hear kittens playing! No sub q fluids were necessary yesterday nor were injectable anti nausea medicines! Could it be that these sweet babies have made it through the worst of panleukopenia??? it seems that way! The family remains in our care in rescue with the oversight of the awesome team at Ancare Veterinary Hospital. Two of the babies have been to Ancare. We are grateful for all of it!
We would not have known that semi feral Frilla had panleukopenia when she gave birth to her babies. With no visible symptoms in Frilla and the kittens doing well, we had no warning. Moms with the virus provide antibodies to their babies, yet at 3 to 5 weeks, the antibodies weaken and symptoms surface. Thank you volunteer Lorie for your accurate research!
Yesterday, our 4 week old babies, ranging in weights of 1.02 lbs. to 0.69 lbs., were confirmed to be suffering from panleuk virus (sometimes known as feline distemper) Panleuk is a horrible virus with a high mortality rate for kittens. The babies have been receiving round the clock care for the past 6 days. The two smallest struggled the most. Today there is improvement!!! We are not "out of the woods" yet but the sun is shining today and hope is high as all are again nursing, and there is some playing going on. We follow responsible rescue methods including vaccination on intake and confinement and others in rescue are not affected. That being side, we understand that even with the procedures we have in place, this is a tricky virus and we are monitoring all in rescue at this foster location. The preventative to this situation is vaccination. If only mom had the gift of vaccination in her 3 years of life, we would not be here today. If only she had been spayed, they would not be going through all this and fighting to live. Please keep our little family in your prayers, thoughts and well wishes as we hope that improvements can continue!
Sallie is a sweet girl about a year old! Sheās super sweet and fun and would a great addition to any home! She gets along fine with the other cats in rescue and has the most beautiful eyes! Who wants to call her āmineā forever???? www.safehousepets.org
Omg omg. Stoped in for tea with a friend and was given a donation on almost $180 everyone needs to go see this shop. It has such fun stuff in it and the best caramels ever. Heartland by hand ļæ¼
Looking for some excitement in your household? Want to hear bells in balls rolling, see toys up flying in the air, zooming, humorous and fun playing with other cats? Enjoy the softness of a beautiful girlās fur while petting and snuggling? Mistee is the girl for you/your family! Sheās so much fun and such a happy girl. She has mild cerebral hypoplasia which adds a cute wobble and head bobbing at times but causes her no restrictions. She doesnāt seem to hear much or at all but that causes no issues at all either. Estimated to be 9 to 12 months, sheās perfect for any home that will keep her safe, inside forever! Adopt today! www.safehousepets.org.
Remember Ginger? Sheās the 12 year old girl who lived her life on the street, reproducing! Sheās the one who we rescued and have had vetted and is in search of her forever home! We want to make sure that she is in the best medical condition so she had a dental a few weeks ago and had 11 teeth extracted! We also had bloodwork run and sheās in good shape; bloodwork is normal! She has to be feeling sooo much better than she did less than 60 days ago! Now, she just needs her home! Sheās super sweet and such a petite little girl. Sheās living with the other free roaming adults in rescue, but she would prefer not to be. She has her spot, keeps to herself for the most part, loves her food, plays with her toys and wants pets and love. She would be a great addition to a quieter home where she can live out her best years in the luxury she deserves. She's FIV positive and inside is the perfect place for this sweet girl! adopt her today. www.safehousepets.org
Jet is such a cool cat! Heās about 3 years old and has healed from his injuries from being abandoned, left outside not neutered. Heās a fun, laid back kind of guy who loves to snuggle, play and be petted. Heās FIV positive which is no reason for concern. Heās not aggressive to the other free roaming cats in rescue. Itās clear that he has had his struggles trying to live outside as he cowers to Chance without fighting. He and Chance spent a good portion of their lives at the same location fighting for food, shelter and over females yet now, after neuter, they are mingling together and learning to trust each other. He deserves peace and will make a fine addition to any home! Adopt him today! www.safehousepets.org
Special thank you to the amazing team at PetSmart-Peru, Illinois! They organized a very well managed, awesome fundraising week for us and other local organizations! We and our rescues so appreciate the customer donations! š»
Chance was super excited to hear that Alfalfa had found his forever home! Chance is FIV positive also yet that is no reason for concern! His poor condition at intake was not related to his FIV, and he is perfectly healthy now, fully vetted, received necessary medical treatment and gained some weight! He's ready for his dream to come true! Chance is a very affectionate, needy boy who loves his humans and is doing well with the other cats free roaming in rescue. He is all about pets, toys, being picked up and held like a baby. and he's a a talkative guy too. At 14 1/2 pounds his behaviors are "dog like" as he follows you around, chases after throw toys and snuggles up to you. He's very handsome and estimated to be 2 to 3 years old. Adopt him today: www.safehousepets.org
We are so happy that Alfalfa spent his first night in his forever home! He found himself the perfect mom to love and care for him! She understood that his FIV diagnosis was no reason for concern and that his super sweet, non-aggressive, I just want to snuggle personality was just what she needed,! This boy will thrive in his new home and no more street life ever! Thank you and congratulations! š»

Alfalfa continues to search for his forever home! He's about 3 years old and gave up the street life for better things. A wise one he showed no resistance to changing his lifestyle. Heās just the sweetest boy and all about being in your lap, snuggling and love! Heās FIV positive and that is no concern; heās lived his life with other cats and shows no signs of aggression. They hiss at him, and he just keeps making his biscuits. Adopt him today! www.safehousepets.org
Mistee joins our adoptables this morning; a sweet, beautiful girl about 10 months old. She was found living outside amongst a large colony. She has mild cerebellar hyperplasia which causes some wobbling and head bobs. She was most likely born with this condition and it causes her no issues. She doesnāt appear to be able to hear and thatās ok too; now that she is safe inside! She loves to be petted, snuggles and play and will be a great addition to any home who will give her time to adjust and keep her safe forever! Adopt her today! www.safehousepets.org
CHANCE: Heās back in rescue today with a good prognosis! We are so happy he is ok and grateful to the amazing Ancare team and our supporters! š»
From a girl who could barely stand and who has fought for years to survive, this morning Peaches is playing! We are so happy to see this girl acting like a cat! ā¤ļøš»
Miss Peaches decided it was time to eat on her own! This foster mom was horrified when she went down to tube feed her at 3:30 a.m. and she found that Peaches had removed her feeding tube! Honestly, half asleep and not an expert on feeding tubes, I did what I knew to do. She was stable, I duct taped the portions of the feeding tube to the tube collar so she could not get at it, I cried and I stared at her for over an hour. Then I slept a little and was back up and she was doing well. Ancare Veterinary Hospital responded to our message first thing and had her come right in! If she would eat on her own, the tube did not need to be put back in. She is! She also went from 5.01 lbs. to 5.10 lbs. since Friday! A rescue eating on their own is a huge relief! This girl is such a fighter! š»š» Thank you for loving her too! Sandy
Listen to Peaches purr. Sheās 9 days post surgery now and doing well! I swear this sweet girl is so grateful and knows what is happening for her! She continues to eat and drink only through her feeding tube . She is off pain meds and much more alert and responsive. She has her follow up appointment next Tuesday and hopefully will be able to begin to eat on her own! What a fighter this baby is! š»
Rockyās been in rescue a little over 2 weeks now. Heās doing well and is so sweet! His wounds are healing and his ear the only visible reminder of his FELV diagnosis. We are so happy he is not living on the streets anymore and fully vetted, yet we want more for him! He has to be segregated and with only so much time in each day and many to care for, he doesnāt get that full time love he needs. Rocky is about a year old and he needs a home without other cats or with segregation and a special person to accept him as he is and help him have a great life hopefully for many years. š»
Itās been a week since Rocky received his FELV diagnosis and came into rescue. Heās been scared, hiding in the castle, yet I saw him stretched out on the cat tree a few times before he saw me! Heās been eating, drinking his water and using his litter box so no reason for concern. Today he decided I could get a closer look at him and he welcomed pets. He is purring! š». So happy he is finding peace!
Pepper is a 4 month old semi sweet boy! He gets scared on initial approach/pickup and is quick to give a hiss until heās in your arms where he purrs and make biscuits. He will need some patience and one on one time in a segregated area of his new home while he continues to learn to be brave! It wonāt take long and you can win his love much quicker than we can! Adopt him today! www.safehousepets.org
Mama Mia and Joe are strutting their stuff at Pet Smart in Peru, IL hoping to be spotted by their perfect person(s). They are both so sweet! Our rotation ends this Sunday! Adopt today!
Meet Rodger! Heās not ready for adoption yet so we arenāt able to discuss that but are excited to see this 3 year old boy starting to show some happiness . Heās not been an easy sell on the inside life being better for him than outside life. Heās neutered now, vaccinated, gaining weight, accepting limited pets totally on his terms, loves treats and now playing! He can take his time! š»
Remember Seven? The boy who has been in rescue for over a year now and sits up all the time? The one who always like to stay just an arm's length away from his foster mom unless he says ok? Well, heās still doing all that, but he is also becoming sweeter! Heās even allowing himself to be scooped up and enjoying time on his foster momās lap. Purring! Making biscuits! š. Could it be that he is finally agreeing that us humans are more than the food and treat giver and the keeper of the wand toy? It seems to be! Adopt him today!
The Safe House babies were having so much fun at Pet Smart last night! Special thanks to the Pet Smart team for helping them feel at home! Adopt today! www.safehousepets.org
