Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Donut, happy birthday to you!

Donut

This gray and white domestic shorthair has come a long way to get to the adoption floor at KCAC. Owner-surrendered due to an eviction, Donut was brought in along with a dog from the same house. Donut was just a kitten when he was turned over to the KCAC shelter.

This sweet-natured kitty just turned 1-year-old in February and he desperately wants to find a forever home where he can explore the far reaches of the house, find a warm spot, preferably with a lot of sunlight, and settle down.

A kitten no more, Donut is still young enough to chase the feather at the end of the fishing pole, crawl into cubbyholes and cause as much cat-chaos as possible, although he has a very “chill” personality.

He’s looking for the right family to give him all of the care and loving he can handle.

How to Adopt

All Kane County Animal Control adoptable cats and dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up-to-date on all vaccines, including rabies. They are tested for feline leukemia/FIV and heartworm.

The adoption fee is $200 for dogs and $100 for cats. Adoption of two dogs is $300, and adoption of two cats is $150. The adoption fee for cockatiels is $25.
