Cats for Adoption in Carbon Hill, IL: 20 Cats Looking for a Home

Bitty, up for adoption near Carbon Hill, IL

157 cats and kittens are waiting for homes at 10 rescues and shelters within 50 miles of Carbon Hill. Here are the 20 nearest, each with photos, their story and how to reach the rescue looking after them.

Of the cats up for adoption within 50 miles of Carbon Hill, 63 kittens, 26 young cats, 60 adults and 3 seniors. Most are domestic shorthairs and other mixed breeds, but you'll also find Abyssinian and Maine Coon cats.

1. Bitty

Adult (1 year 1 month) · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 22 mi from Carbon Hill

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.

2. Jazz

Adult (1 year 1 month) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 22 mi from Carbon Hill

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!

3. Harry

Adult (2 years 1 month) · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 22 mi from Carbon Hill

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

7. Tux

Kitten (4 months 7 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 22 mi from Carbon Hill

If you work from home, Tux may just be your perfect coworker. She loves being near her people, although she doesn't necessarily need to be in your lap. She's perfectly content sitting beside you or hanging out at your desk, carefully supervising everything you do. Someone has to make sure you're getting your work done!

Tux can be a timid girl at first and likes to put on a tough, independent act—as if she couldn't possibly care whether you give her attention. But don't let her fool you! Bring out a toy and her personality comes shining through. She loves to play, and watching her come out of her shell is part of what makes her so special.

And underneath that independent exterior is a serious little lovebug. Once Tux feels safe and comfortable enough to settle into your lap, you'll discover her secret: this girl can PURR! Get her cozy and that little motor will run like there's no tomorrow.

Zeppy is a beautiful medium hair cat with a gorgeous tail and shiny coat. She was one of five cats living in a van when she was surrendered to Starfish.

Don’t let her initial shyness fool you, she doesn’t just play, she PLAYS! Her specialties include jumping and pouncing.

13. Svengoolie

Adult (2 years) · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 39 mi from Carbon Hill

Meet Svengoolie!

He may look a little rough around the edges, but this Svengoolie is not scary at all! This sweet orange tabby boy has had a rough start in life. For his first two years, he endured a hoarding situation. His disposition shows that he must have received plenty of love, but his body condition shows that there was likely not enough food to go around. Sven is looking for a home where he will be able to count on having enough food at each meal to help him put on a little weight and develop a shiny, healthy coat of fur. He has a healthy appetite and is good with his litter box, and should thrive in a home environment.

Read more about Svengoolie

Sven just arrived at our cat center and started out very shy, hiding behind his blankets. As soon as he realized he was safe, he allowed himself to soak up all of the love our volunteers have to give. Sven comes out of his hiding spot as soon as we open his condo door. He leans his head into hands for pets, and immediately starts making biscuits and purring. He is one of those cats that likes to make sure that you are petting him with both hands!

Given his background, Sven needs a quiet home where he will be able to settle in at his own pace. He would likely do well with another cat in the home, but at this time dogs and young kids would be too much for him. He does give an occasional love bite when you are petting him, so his adopters should know how to gently redirect. We rescued him from his previous situation, but you can save him by giving him the loving home that he deserves.

    How to adopt from 4 Paw Luv Rescue NFP

    1. We interview the potential adopters using our standard application with trained adoption counselors against our standard policies. Adopters must be able to provide sufficient housing, food, water and medical care for the animal. The home must also be a good fit for both the family and the animal being adopted. Counselors are trained to be able to look for good housing matches based on the personality of the animal to increase the chance of a successful adoption. 2. If the adopters seem like a good match and are capable of caring for an animal then we have them sign our standard contract. Our contract states that the adopters will care for the animal as per Illinois law. If they cannot keep the animal for any reason, they must contact us for return of the animal. The animal will be kept indoors. These are a few of the key points in the contract. 3. The adopters provide us with the adoption fee of $100 (unless it is a special situation in which case the adoption counselor has the ability to adjust the fee) which is the same for all cats, including kittens. 4. Adoptions are usually done same day and the adopters take their new family member home.

Adopting a cat in Carbon Hill

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.

Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
