To adopt an animal, you must live within 100 miles of one of our adoption sites (Benld, Litchfield, O'Fallon or Springfield IL) and must be at least 18 years of age.  We require that you be physically present to make the final adoption arrangements. We also require that all cats be kept indoors, and all dogs be kept in a fenced-in yard, secure pen, or indoors, unless otherwise discussed and agreed upon ahead of time.  Failure to comply with any of these requirements may constitute grounds for our taking back the adopted animal.

All pets have been spayed/neutered, are up to date with shots/vaccinations, have been micro-chipped, and are in good health to the best of our knowledge.  If you have any questions about the animals, want to know more about the shelter, or have any other questions, please call or e-mail us as above.

If you are interested in adopting any of these animals, you may begin the process by downloading the adoption form (button below) *, and submitting it to:  Benld Adopt-A-Pet, PO Box 53, Benld IL 62009-0053,  or e-mail to:  ​aap1@frontiernet.net .  After downloading form, you may use the fill & sign feature of your {PDF app to complete application before e-mailing to us. 

We strive to keep our listings of animals available for adoption as up to date as possible however, due to the constant turnover at the shelter, this page may not be completely current at all times.  Therefore, if you are looking for a specific animal, please contact the shelter as above to find out what is available.

We have cats arriving at our shelter all the time so, if you do not see what you are looking for on this page, please call us at 217.835.2538, or e-mail us at aap1@frontiernet.net , and tell us what you are looking for.  Also, we frequently have kittens too young to be listed on our website, which will however be available once they are spayed/neutered and have their shots.  Just make the call and we'll get started on finding you the cat you want.

Meet Alivia

Hi, my name is Alivia. I was brought to the shelter as a pregnant stray. Not too long after being in the shelter, I had 3 beautiful healthy kittens. I'm a very loving kitty, who loves to snuggle and get all the belly rubs I can get. I'm looking for a home that will fulfill my emotional needs as I will fulfill yours. I have not been in a house with other cats, dogs, or children but with the proper introduction I will do just fine. I have been spayed, vaccinated including rabies, wormed, tested negative for Feline Lvk/FIV, and micro-chipped.

Meet Amalie

My name is Amalie, a domestic short hair that was born in April 2023. I was born to a stray mother and spent time in a foster home growing big and strong. Now I'm ready to find a forever home of my own. I have lived with other cats but haven't been around dogs or children. Given a proper introduction I could live with dogs, cats, or children. I am shy of loud noises and may take a little time to adjust to activity in my new home. I have been spayed, vaccinated including rabies, microchipped, wormed, and tested negative for FIV/FelV.

Atlas

Hi I'm Atlas (Jenga) and I'm a young adult Domestic Shorthair cat. I was found as a young kitten living in a feral colony with many other cats. I was placed in a foster home to help socialize and prepare me for a forever home. I was adopted and returned when my human mom's health took a turn for the worse so I'm on the hunt once more to find a home that loves me as much as she does. I have lived with large dogs and in my foster home I lived with cats. Given a proper introduction I could live with just about any furry friend. I did have to have eye surgery so I may have limited vision in one eye but I love to watch the birds and bugs through the window of my indoor home. I have been neutered, vaccinated including rabies, microchipped, wormed, and tested for FIV/FelV.

Meet Basil

Hi, my name is Basil, and I was born mid April of 2023. I was brought to the shelter with my mom and five siblings. I've spent most my life as a stray, and I haven't been around very many people. I'm very shy and timid towards people, I would do well in a home where it is calm and quiet until I come out of my shell. I will need someone to patient with as most things in life are new to me. But since being at the shelter, I've come to realize people aren't too bad. I could possibly live in a home with other cats, dogs, and children but they would have to understand that new things can be overwhelming. I have been neutered, vaccinated including rabies, wormed, tested negative for Feline FIV/LvK, and microchipped.

My name is Buttercup and I'm a gorgeous Domestic shorthair Calico that was born in Summer of 2021. I was found as a stray and surprised my finders by having kittens. They took great care of me until it was time for me and the kittens to find a forever home. I am used to living with other cats but will take time to warm up to my new surroundings. I may not be a lap cat but I do like to lay next to my person and get lots of pets. I am spayed, vaccinated including rabies, microchipped, wormed, and tested negative for FIV/FelV.

Meet Candy

She was hanging around Grandma's along with a couple of very young kittens. They needed more care than just the food they were provided. Turns out Candy wasn't their mommy but she did "appear" pregnant. She spent a couple months in a foster home, but no little ones. She is a little shy or cautious when she meets you, but just give her a little time. She is like a sweet and sour Candy, she is friendly and likes being petted and loved on by her human and then just likes to be alone to do her own thing; prefers to be the only cat in the house. She has been spayed, vaccinated including rabies, tested negative for Feline Lvk/FiV and micro-chipped.

Meet Dee Dee

Pleasure to meet you, I'm DeeDee. I am a beautiful all white cat with one green eye and one blue eye that was born in 2018. I'm looking for an indoor home where I can sit with my people and bird watch from the window. I haven't lived with dogs and did well with children, I'm not a fan of when they try to pick me up or carry me. I would thrive best in a single cat household but given a proper introduction I could possibly live with other cats. It will just take time and patience. I am spayed, vaccinated including rabies, microchipped, de-wormed, and tested for FIV/FelV.

Since I have been a stray, my experiences with other cats haven't been the best so I would do better with a proper and slow introduction with cats. I have been spayed, up to date on vaccines including rabies, wormed, tested negative for Feline FIV/LvK, and microchipped.

I'm Garbo because sometimes I want to be alone. Just like the actress Greta Garbo would say. I was born with a round knot on my nose and have what is called pillow pads. That means that my little toe beans are softer and formed different than other cats. I will need a home that is patient as it will take me time to adjust to my new home and one that will provide lots of snacks. I have been spayed, vaccinated including rabies, microchipped, wormed, and tested for FIV/FelV.

Meet Nala

My name is Nala. I am a shy adult kitty that was born in 2015. I would do best in a calm and quite home as I like to hide when it's too loud/scary. I would need a home that will help me with my grooming as I tend to mat from not grooming myself. I have lived in a home with other pets but would prefer my new home to only be me. In my previous home I had some unwanted litter box issues (urinating) but since I have been back at BAAP in a kennel I have used my litter box every time. I am spayed, vaccinated including rabies, microchipped, wormed, and tested for FIV/FelV.

Meet Oscar

Hello, I'm Oscar. I was adopted when I was a kitten and sadly my adopter passed away. I am a timid cat that would like a quite home that will allow me plenty of time to adjust to my new environment. I just take a little extra time to warm up than most cats. My favorite thing to do is burrow under sometime as if we were playing hide and seek. I enjoy getting wet food or treats. I have been neutered, vaccinated including rabies, negative for FIV/FelV and micro-chipped.
Oscar is in Foster Care in Springfield

Meet Rabbit

My name is Rabbit and I was born in late May of 2023. My siblings and I were abandoned by our mother at only 3 weeks old and we were placed in foster care to grow. In my foster home I lived with other cats, dogs and children came to visit with us. I would love a home to call my own with people that will spoil me and maybe some furry friends to keep  me company while our people are out of the house. I have been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, wormed, and tested negative for FIV/FelV.

Meet Scrabble

Scrabble is a friendly and good natured guy. He was raised in a foster home with multiple cats and dogs and he likes to get along with everyone. He is a bit shy with people reaching out to him, but once he knows you, and you hold him, he enjoys the attention. His shyness comes from his early kitten years when he and his littermates were homeless feral kittens. Scrabble enjoys curling up for a nap with his feline foster family and following you around the house (especially if there might be cat treats involved). His shyness does not mean that he does not want to be around people - just that it startles him a bit when you reach out to pet him. Scrabble is playful and very personable, just needs a little extra time to get comfortable with being handled. Scrabble is neutered, vaccinated including rabies, microchipped, wormed, and negative for FIV/FelV.

Meet Snickers

I'm Snickers and I'm a Domestic Shorthair Torti that was born in February 2022. I was found as a stray in Bethalto and no owner came forward, so my finders vetted me in hopes to make me their own. I did well with their cats at first but once I got comfortable in the home, I started bullying the cats. I want and need to be the only cat in the household to soak up all your love. I did do well with the cat friendly dogs, but I do play rough with them as if I was a dog. Due to my over playfulness, I would do best in a home without children. I am spayed, vaccinated including rabies, microchipped, wormed, and tested negative for FIV/FelV.

I'm Stanley and I'm an adult Domestic Shorthair cat that was found as a stray in Nokomis. I was very skinny when I arrived at BAAP and they are helping nurse me back to health.

Meet Theros

My name is Theros (Greek for summer) and I'm a young cat born in May 2023. My mother was a stray that showed up at a nice couples house and surprised them with me and my litter mates. They raised us until BAAP had room for us to join and the search for a forever home started. I am a little timid at first but with a proper introduction I could live in a home with other cats, cat friendly dogs, or children. I have been neutered, vaccinated including rabies, wormed, and tested negative for FIV/FelV and microchipped.

Hello, I'm Tigger (Mr. Orange) and I was born fall of 2014. I am looking once more for a forever place to call home. I am more of a quite laid back kind of cat so I'd do best in a home similar to me. I have lived with other cats and dogs but might need a little time to adjust to new four legged friends. I am neutered, vaccinated including rabies, microchipped, wormed, and negative for FIV/FelV.

Meet Waffles

Hello, I'm Waffles. I am a young kitten born April 2022 along with my six other siblings. I am looking for my forever home to be spoiled and grow big in. I am a little shy and skittish of loud noises but still very sweet once settled. I am FIV positive so I will need a home with other FIV positive cats, dogs, or to be the only cat. I can live with FIV negative cats as long as we do not fight with each other, as that is how FIV can be spread. I am spayed, vaccinated including rabies, microchipped, wormed, FIV positive and FelV negative.

Meet Wilma

Hello, my name is Wilma and I'm a young cat born in April 2022. I was one of seven kittens brought to BAAP in hopes of finding a forever place to call home. I am a sweet but shy girl that would enjoy a home with a companion of the two or four legged type. I would do best in a home with a cat friendly dog, children and possibly another cat. I am FIV positive so it is best for me to have a home with other FIV cats, or to be an only cat. I can live with FIV negative cats as long as we do not fight as that is how FIV is spread from cat to cat, a deep bite or scratch. I am spayed, vaccinated including rabies, microchipped, wormed, and FIV positive (FelV negative).
