2. Bitty
Adult (1 year 1 month) · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 8 mi from Bolingbrook



Want someone who’s genuinely thrilled every single time you come home? Bitty has you covered!
The moment you open the door, Bitty will come looking for you, ready to welcome you home. From there, expect to have a little shadow following you around the house. He’s incredibly affectionate and loves being near his people, but he’s also perfectly capable of doing his own thing—making him a great combination of cuddly and independent.
Read more about Bitty
Bitty is also very friendly with other animals. His only problem? He firmly believes that everyone must love him. Sometimes he’s still figuring out that his animal friends may not appreciate quite as much togetherness as he does! He’s only about a year old, though, and he’s still learning those personal-space boundaries.
Sweet, social, young, and full of love, Bitty would be a wonderful companion for someone who wants an affectionate little buddy without needing a cat permanently attached to their lap.

3. Jazz
Adult (1 year 1 month) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 8 mi from Bolingbrook



Jazz is a sweet, social girl who desperately wants to be your friend—she’s just still figuring out how to be brave enough to do it!
Jazz absolutely loves other cats and comes running when her foster humans walk through the door. She wants to be wherever the people are and will hang out as close to them as she can. There’s just one catch: as much as Jazz loves people, she’s still scared of being touched.
Read more about Jazz
That certainly doesn’t stop her from trying, though! Jazz plays with toys with her foster humans, comes yelling for them when they get home, and has even gotten brave enough to give them a quick little poke with her nose before running away. Every small interaction is another step toward learning that people can be safe.
Jazz hasn’t had much experience with humans, and even in her short time in foster care, she has already made wonderful progress. She’ll need a patient adopter who is willing to let her build trust at her own pace rather than expecting her to become a cuddly cat overnight.
Because she absolutely adores other cats, Jazz would make a wonderful companion for another kitty. A confident feline friend may even help show her that these strange human creatures aren’t so scary after all!

4. Harry
Adult (2 years 1 month) · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 8 mi from Bolingbrook



Do you ever feel like you have a little too much personal space? Harry can fix that for you!
Harry is a big love bug who wants nothing more than to be in direct contact with his people. In your lap? Absolutely. Lying on your belly? Even better. Pressed against your arm because being three inches away is simply unacceptable? Obviously.
Read more about Harry
Harry can seem a little nervous when he first meets someone, but all it takes is one pet and suddenly you’re his best friend. Once he decides you’re safe, prepare to have a very affectionate little shadow. Harry also loves other animals and enjoys their company, although, thankfully for them, he understands their personal space a little better than he understands ours!
If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate companion who believes cuddling should be a full-contact sport, Harry might be your guy

12. Sweetie Pie and Larry BONDED PAIR
Kitten (4 months 3 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 11 mi from Bolingbrook






Some friendships are simply meant to be, and Sweetie Pie and Larry are living proof. Sweetie Pie's story began with heartbreak. Born the runt of her litter, she was the only kitten to survive after losing all her siblings to what veterinarians believed may have been fading kitten syndrome. Despite such a difficult beginning, this brave little girl grew into the sweetest, most affectionate kitten. Her foster mom brought her to work, surrounded her with love, and introduced her to other cats so she would never have to feel alone. But even after meeting several foster kittens, something was still missing. That was until Larry came along.

They're incredibly affectionate, playful, confident, and always ready to make a new friend. Both have been well-socialized with people, other cats, and even their foster family's Chihuahua!

Now, they're ready for the next chapter of their story, one where they can grow up together in a forever home. They're looking for a family who has plenty of cuddles to give, doesn't mind sharing their bed with two little purring machines, and understands that some bonds are simply too special to separate. After everything Sweetie Pie has overcome, finding Larry was her happy beginning. Could you be the family that gives them their happily ever after?

18. Astra
Young (5 months 17 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 11 mi from Bolingbrook





My name is Astra and I’m the star of my family!
I love to cuddle pile with other kitties, so you’ll seldom see me sleeping alone. It’s the best thing ever when another kitty grooms me. The second best thing is playtime, I love to play! My favorite toys have feathers or remind me of bugs. My foster siblings are teaching me to hunt bugs, but I’m not very good at it yet. I like some pets, but I have a busy schedule and I sometimes forget to ask for them.
Read more about Astra
I was found under a deck with my siblings, so I’m a little independent. I’ve spent enough time inside to know that I like the kittypet life, but I still have a bit of a potty mouth. When I’m not sure about something or mildly inconvenienced I sometimes hiss, but that’s just how I say “no thank you”. I’m getting more polite every day! I sometimes still find humans intimidating, so I need some time to adjust to new situations and environments.
I’m looking for an adopter who’s willing to learn my language and help me open up. I must go to a home with another cat. I’d love to go home with my sibling Nova, but I’d be equally happy with another friendly cat that will groom, snuggle, and play with me. I’d be okay with a calm dog that mostly ignores me.
If you’re looking for a kitten that’s out of this world, submit an application today!

Bringing a cat home to your dog
Tell the rescue about your dog: their size, age and energy. A cat who has lived with a calm dog may still be nervous around a bouncy puppy.
Introduce them slowly. Keep the cat in a room of their own for the first few days, swap bedding so they get used to each other's scent, and then let them meet with the dog on a leash.
Make sure the cat can always get somewhere the dog can't reach, and keep the litter box and food bowls out of the dog's way.
