19. Tabitha

Young (1 year 2 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 12 mi from Sugar Grove

Tabitha is a teeny tiny, 10-12 month old tabby with an orange rusty belly. She loves to chase a string or a toy and catnip is a big yes. She melts and gives kisses when you find the right spots to pet her, mostly around the face. She is mostly quiet clean and well mannered but will let you know if you're overstimulating her. She prefers a mostly quiet life filled with chin scritches and gravy covered wet food. She has done well with kids, cats, and dogs in her foster homes but change can be rough on her at first so she'll probably need a little time to adjust and shine. She is fixed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped.

    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 Sugar Grove

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.
