9 Lives Club
The Nine Lives Club is a program that is meant to encourage pet owners to discover the joys and benefits of older cats.
The goal of the Nine Lives Club is to find loving homes for our senior friends. For adoption information, contact Anderson Animal Shelter at (847) 697-2880, or e-mail us at neuteryourpets@andersonanimalshelter.com. Please include the cat's name and a note that he or she is a member of the Nine Lives Club in your e-mail message.
* Note - Qualified people under 65 years of age who are interested in adopting a cat 7 years or older will receive the shelter's discounted fee of $50.

Male - Siamese Clark is such a lap warmer - he will find anyone sitting down and jump on up. Then he gives you some sass when you need to stand up - typical Siamese! He loves looking out the windows, his human friends and especially his feline friend Timmy, pictured with Clark here. Clark is at the beginning stages of kidney failure, but his lab work is stable. He's approximately 10 years old and is 4 paw declawed. He's a happy guy and if you're looking to give a special cat a home, Clark should be on your list! |
Male - Domestic Short Hair Aleks is a wonderful, outgoing older boy who loves people. He enjoys the company of other cats, too. He might be a good addition to a home where there is some activity, and especially where he'll be the center of attention and get love every day. He's not much of a lap cat, but will sit at your feet as you watch tv or sit on your desk watching you work. He likes to play with little mouse toys. Aleks has colitis, which means he has chronically loose stools, but he uses the litter box every time. He'll just be on a prescription diet going forward. |

Male - Tiger Hello Kitty was adopted as a kitten and returned as a 6 year old cat when the daughter in the family developed asthma and the family had to give her up. It's been reported that Hello Kitty hides from dogs, but isn't aggressive towards them, has no experience with other cats and she's great with kids. We think she would be a great addition to a family with kids, but as the only pet in her home. |
Male - Domestic Long Hair White Tiger Tigger was returned to the shelter when he wasn't adjusting very well to having a new baby in the household. He's a senior cat and probably a bit set in his ways, and didn't love having the new 'intruder'! It's reported that he's ok with dogs and older kids, but has no experience with cats. Tigger was front paw declawed prior to coming into the shelter |

Female - Domestic Short Hair, Black Annie was left behind by her family when they moved out of their home. A cleaning company found her when they went into the home. She was covered in dirt and other matter and was very scared. Annie is now |
Male - Domestic Short Hair - Orange and White Orange Boy might not be the most attractive cat you've seen, but he does have personality! He loves rubbing ankles and getting a full body scratching. Orange Boy was a stray who came to the shelter in somewhat bad shape, and has healed up nicely. He has diet controlled diabetes, so he doesn't need insulin. He is also steadily losing weight, but is pretty agile now.

Female - Tabby Purrty is a purrty senior kitty looking for a home. She's a sweetheart who enjoys being brushed and petted. Purrty was front paw declawed prior to coming into the shelter and seems to be ok interacting with other cats. |
Male - Domestic Short Hair Pepper is a good looking cat. A front paw declawed cat at 8 years old, he's looking for a more quiet home, most likely without small kids. He isn't so fond of their quick movements and loud laughter. However, he does enjoy the company of another cat and definitely his human friends |
