All Mobile Adoptions have been suspended until further notice, due to the COVID-19 Corona Virus Pandemic.
Adoptions
To adopt you must live within approximately 100 miles of one of our adoption sites (Benld, O'Fallon or Springfield IL), and 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 that all dogs be kept in a fenced-in yard, secure pen, or indoors. Failure to comply with any of these requirements may constitute grounds for us to take back the adopted animal.
Adoption Fees:
All pets have been spayed/neutered, are up to date with shots/vaccinations, and have been micro-chipped. If you have any questions about the animals, or want to know more about the shelter, please call us at 217.835.2538.

Dillon
Code: 1195C
Breed: Domestic Short Hair
Approximate Date of Birth: 07/23/2012
Sex: Male
Size: Large
Color: White & Orange
Note: FIV positive
House-trained: Yes
Good with Dogs: Yes
Good with Cats: Yes
Good with Children: Unknown
Posted: 05/27/2020
Photo Updated: 05/27/2020
Comments: While Dillon’s canines show even when his mouth is closed, making him “a vampire cat,” he definitely isn’t a vampire! One could say, however, he is “a vamp cat” because he’s very affectionate and likes to rub against his human’s legs a lot! (Dillon also has a very cute underbite.)
Dillon is good with other cats in his room at the shelter. He was placed in a foster home so that the shelter could learn more about him in a home environment. He met three large, calm dogs in his foster home, and he did great with them.
A white-and-orange domestic short-haired cat who is about 7 years old, he would not have spent his many years in the shelter if he didn’t have one handicap for adoption: He is FIV positive, so he must live as an only cat or only with other FIV positive cats. Dogs and humans are safe from this feline immunodeficiency virus.
It is not safe for Dillon to be outside because of his FIV status. He came to the shelter as a stray who had been living outside, which is most likely how he became infected.
Dillon is up to date on all shots, is microchipped, neutered, eats well and is litter-box-trained. In his foster environment, he played with his bird toy and enjoyed an occasional cat treat. He also performed his foster mom’s favorite trick which was to “sit pretty” like a dog!
Another bonus: Dillon will be Mr. February on the shelter’s 2021 calendar!
To find out how Dillon the Vamp can become part of your life, contact Benld Adopt-A-Pet by calling 217-835-2538 or e-mailing the shelter at aap1@frontiernet.net.

Comments: Sugar Plum and her two siblings were left at the door with a note attached asking us to find them a good home. She was adopted shortly thereafter on 05/11/2011, but returned to us on 01/18/2019, after she was found running with another dog along I-255 near Edwardsville. She is sweet and very friendly but cautious of new surroundings. She knows some commands and walks well on a leash. Sugar Plum is looking for an inside home with a securely fenced yard to safely play in with her new family.
