About Summer

Summer is a big-hearted girl with a sweet, loving nature. Found as a pregnant stray, she took care of her kittens, all of whom have found forever homes. Now, it’s her time to find a loving family. Summer is gentle and affectionate but values her independence. She has a limited tolerance for being held, preferring to have her space, yet once she’s comfortable, she’ll happily curl up in your lap and purr. She does not get along with other cats but enjoys the company of cat-friendly dogs, making her a great fit for a multi-pet household. Summer's blend of cuddly and independent character makes her a lovely addition to a home ready to welcome her. She has been spayed, is up to date with all vaccinations including boosters and rabies, tested negative for the Feline FIV/LvK, and is microchipped. To adopt her, you should live within about 100 miles of Benld or Springfield, IL, and be at least 18 years old. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
