Kitten (4 months 7 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 94 mi from Peoria

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.

She would do well with her brother or one of her sisters (she has a special relationship with Pippa), or we have other kittens who could be a companion to her as well. The most important ingredient in her new life is you! Consider applying to meet Piper and see if she might be the newest member of your family.

30. Kanv
Kitten (5 months 28 days) · Male · Domestic Medium Hair (medium coat) · 87 mi from Peoria




Kanv is a super playful little boy. He loves other cats and would do best in a home with another cat or could be adopted with one of his siblings. He is great with kids and doesn't mind dogs as well. He is definitely the menace of the group, loves to check things out and explore and is always finding his way into things. He loves to jump in the toy bin and dump it over. He isn't a huge cuddler but does enjoy pets and once he is out of energy he doesn't mind a good nap on the couch. He is fixed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped
His adoption fee is $225 ($400 if adopted as a pair)

Adopting a kitten in Peoria
Kittens usually go to their new homes from about eight weeks old, once they're eating on their own and have had their first vaccinations. Most rescues spay or neuter them before adoption, or include it in the fee.
Think about adopting two. Kittens raised together play with each other instead of your ankles and furniture, and many rescues charge less for a pair.
Kittens need more of your time than grown cats: several small meals a day, plenty of play, and a home with cords and small objects tidied away.
