Give him a ball and he’ll bat it around all over the place, give him a soft toy and he’ll chase it, pounce on it, wrestle it, and chew it. Watching him play is more entertaining than any TV show you’ll find. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that Squeak is such a unique and handsome boy; his soft white fur interrupted by two distinct fuzzy gray hairlines.

9. Scooter

Young · Male · Domestic Short Hair (long coat) · 18 mi from Waukegan

Meet Scooter! This brave little adventurer is a gray-and-white tabby dynamo powered by determination and pure kitten joy. Aptly named, Scooter was born with deformed hind legs so he relies solely on his strong front legs to get around - but he’s never let that slow him down! He zooms through the house like a tiny rocket, especially during his favorite zoomie hours (9–10 p.m., with possible bonus rounds at 1–2 a.m.). His adorable chirp of a meow announces his presence as he zips by in search of toys, friends, and scritches.Scooter is affectionate, opinionated, and unafraid to speak his mind - especially when he’s craving attention.

Read more about Scooter

He loves being pet, but he’s got some clear preferences: pets and scratches are great, but please don’t touch his lower back or hind legs. He’ll be sure to let you know if you overstep, so an adopter who respects his boundaries is a must. Despite his quirks, Scooter is endlessly outgoing. He’ll greet guests, charm the room, and demand his rightful share of the spotlight. He is fantastic with kids, cats, dogs, even parrots - and would thrive in an active, bustling household. He would however appreciate it if any kids in his future household were a bit older and understand his boundaries. He gets along fabulously with the two teenagers (thirteen and fifteen) in his foster home and they bathe him every week.Because of his mobility differences, Scooter has a few special needs. He uses the litter box reliably but can get a bit messy due to balance issues, so he’ll need weekly baths or sponge baths which he tolerates very well. A shallow litter box placed near his usual hangout area helps make life easier for him. He also can’t jump, so pet stairs or ramps will help him access beds and couches. But rest assured, Scooter is independent, capable, and so much more than his disability - he’s a fighter with a heart full of love.Scooter gets along beautifully with other cats and must be adopted into a home with a feline companion who will play and keep him company. His energy is typical kitten chaos, and he especially enjoys chasing other cats, batting toys under doors, and zooming after catnip mice. One of his favorite things is going on stroller rides in the sunshine - he truly enjoys life to the fullest.Scooter has come so far and continues to thrive with the support of people who believe in him. He’s affectionate, funny, full of personality, and ready to be someone’s best friend. He doesn’t see himself as different, and neither should you. This special little guy is looking for a home that will love him exactly as he is - because Scooter is nothing short of amazing.WE DO NOT HAVE A PHYSICAL LOCATION AS WE ARE A FOSTER-BASED ORGANIZATION.

26. Bacon

Kitten · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 18 mi from Waukegan

Meet Bacon — Small But MIGHTY! Bacon and her three siblings—Bagel, Brioche, and Butter—have a story that could have ended very differently. They arrived at the shelter far too young, scared, dirty, starving, and very sick with an upper respiratory infection. Their eyes were so goopy they could barely see, and they were having trouble breathing. Because they were so young and sick in an overcrowded shelter, they were placed on the euthanasia list. But then a volunteer stepped up to foster! We were able to rescue these babies just a couple of hours before they were scheduled to be euthanized, and with some much-needed love and medical care, they transformed.

Read more about Bacon

Now they're healthy, happy, playful, and finally getting the chance to show everyone just how special they are. Bacon may be the smallest of the Breakfast Club, but somebody forgot to tell her that she's supposed to act like it! This tiny girl is small but mighty and can absolutely hold her own in a wrestling match. Even when the older cats get a bit rough, Bacon is always the winner, growling and batting at her opponent fiercely before running off to find another playmate. Her favorite opponent? Her look a like friend Beatrix. They met when both kittens found themselves to be the last of their respective litters, and what a coincidence that they are total twins! With beautiful trabby stipes and slashes of orange across their faces and backs, these girls are absolute showstoppers. Bacon especially, with her on fleek white eyeliner and massive ears, she is truly a unique kitten. Underneath that feisty little wrestler is an incredibly sweet and gentle girl. Bacon starts purring almost immediately when you pick her up and absolutely loves curling up in someone's lap for a cozy snooze. She is a total lap cat and will sleep in the crook of your neck purring away each and every night. Of course, she also knows how to have fun! Bacon loves chasing wand toys, crinkly balls, and sparkly puff balls, and she is always ready for a good game with her siblings.Bacon has met lots of people, resident cats, and a small dog in her foster home. She can be a little shy and cautious when meeting someone new, but she's friendly and curious once she has a chance to figure things out. She has a sweet, demure little personality and just needs someone willing to give her the time and space to feel comfortable.She would likely do well with children of all ages and is still too young to be adopted as an only cat, so she needs a home with another young, playful kitty friend, like Beatrix! This tiny girl has already fought so hard to get here. Now she just needs a forever family who will show her that the rest of her story gets to be happy. Small? Yes. Mighty? Absolutely. Sweet?

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.
