~ Ferrari ~
Vroom, vroom - there I go! Hey, I'm Ferrari! I'm a six-to-eight-month-old male Black with White Domestic Shorthair cat. My coat is sleek and my eyes are a bright, vibrant yellow. I'm a friendly guy who loves people, but don't be surprised if I'm a little timid at first. Like all of the cats here, I've been through a lot and just need some time to warm up to my forever home. I didn't mind my photoshoot at all! I'm just a little shy during introductions. Speaking of, I'd love to meet you! Please submit an application for me, today. My adoption fee is $100.

~ Kovu ~
Good day! My name is Mr. Kovu. I'm a two-year-old male Gray Domestic Medium hair cat. I'm a very matter-of-fact cat who likes to hang out and do my own thing. Do you have cats at home? I'd love to have a brother or sister! Right now I'm out 24-7 in the Cat Flats with other cats. We all just hangout all day and night. I'd love a home like that too where I could spend true quality time not only with my feline friends, but with my family too. If you're looking for a single companion, I'd also get along my own!

~ Chex ~
Oh, hi. I'm Chex! I'm a cat. About three months old, to be exact! I'm male. Orange and white. Domestic shorthair, if you like. What's that? Is that a carrier? Just for me? Hopefully! I haven't been here long, but I do hope to find a family soon. Could it be true that it's you? I'm a kitten who doesn't want or need much. Just a place to cuddle up in - a place to have lunch. And breakfast. And dinner. And maybe even desert. Applying for me won't hurt! Please submit an application for me, today. My adoption fee is $100.

~ Bandit ~
Hello, my name is Bandit! I'm a two-year-old male Black and White Domestic Shorthair cat based in Bloomington-Normal, Illinois. Out of all the places I could end up, I'm really glad I'm at this shelter. Not only does the staff do a great job of taking care of all us cats, but it also means I'm a step closer to being home with you! The people here are great, but I can't wait until I get to wake up every morning with a 'meow!' to you and 'goodnight' cuddle before bed. That's all I'm really hoping for I suppose - a place to call home. Please submit an application for me, today. My adoption fee is $100.

I love people and love to be held. I can listen all day as we hang out together. Please do consider adding me to your family.

Hello! My name is Jelly Bean. I'm a three-year-old female Seal with White Domestic Longhair cat. I've got big blue eyes and a long, fluffy tail!

Hello! I am Millie, a two-year-old female black and white domestic shorthair cat. The Humane Society of Central Illinois has been doing a great job taking care of me! They have me microchipped, spayed and up to date on all age-appropriate vaccinations. They even come in to give me cuddles and treats when I'm not expecting it! It's been such a great time, but at the end of the day, it gets to be really quiet around here. I'd love to call a place 'home' where the care and loving doesn't end when the work week does.
