Makana came to us from animal control in Chicago. They were looking for a place for them because they were getting full and if they couldn't find a place, well, we don't want to go there. Mama had a cold, but is getting better really fast now that she gets good food and care. The babies are looking good. They eat regular food and can use the litter box already. Quick learners! They're about 5 weeks old. They are very furry little kittens with tons of energy!

The meaning of the name Makana is Gift. The origin of the name Makana is Hawaiian. This is the culture in which the name originated, or in the case of a word, the language.

We came from a shelter and we were really sick. We struggled for some time but we are strong and we pulled through! Now we're eating and growing like crazy!! We love playing and just being healthy kittens! We will be able to be adopted soon... we dream to stay together...anyone looking for three fun kittens!

Meet the gorgeous Savannah!  Savannah came to ARF from a kill shelter in southern Illinois and we estimate she is around 4 months old.  She has gorgeous long black fur with a white locket – she has a little patch of white right under her chin – just where a locket might lie (you know, if cats wore necklaces) J    Her eyes appear to slant upwards which give her the appearance of always looking surprised or shocked.  She is a delightful little girl.  She loves to be with humans – she climbs up on our laps and wants pets and she purrs and purrs away.  She loves to play with spring toys and little balls and does an excellent job of using her scratching post.  She is very good about being combed – after all, a young lady likes to look her best!  Savannah could go to a home with another cat – we think she would enjoy the company, but it’s not a requirement.

To talk when you don't feed her fast enough..she will let you know.

To let you know when you don't hold her quick enough.

To follow  you until you pick her up.

Purr when you pet her or rub her belly.
