About Kelis

Kelis is a charming adult cat who's got plenty of personality and love to offer. As a senior at nearly 17 years old, he still brims with energy and spirit yet is far easier to manage than a rambunctious kitten. Each adult cat's character varies, and a little patience can turn a shy demeanor into a deep bond. Kelis does have some medical needs that go beyond regular vet visits, but the joy and affection he provides makes him more than worth it. If you’re curious about his special care requirements, the staff at The Anti-Cruelty Society can provide more details. Thinking about bringing home a wonderful companion? Come meet Kelis and see if he’s the right fit for you at 510 N LaSalle! The center offers same-day adoptions and will guide you through the entire process.
