Baldr is a sweet 7-year-old hound mix that was surrendered, as his owner no longer had the means to care for him. Baldr loves to be with his people. He enjoys pets and occasionally playing with toys. Baldr has separation anxiety, so he needs a home with someone who is home often. Contact the Will County Humane Society at willcountyhumane.com and follow the instructions for the adoption process.

Wayne is a 10-month-old tabby kitten that needs a loving forever home to help him blossom. Wayne loves the company of other kittens and playing with toys.

Aphelion is a high-energy, food-motivated, engaging, interactive cat. Aphelion thrives on stimulation and play, whether it’s playing fetch, zooming around the room, conquering a climbing wall, or flying over furniture and racing around. Aphelion also is very trainable and takes direction well. He also enjoys chilling in laps for snuggles and scritches. A home with a friendly cat or dog companion is ideal – he’s been around dogs and cats of all ages – and Aphelion respects cat boundaries. To meet Aphelion, visit ForgetMeNotRescue.com/adoptables.
