We thought we were the ones rescuing Dudley when he came into our care back in May… but all this time, he’s been the one taking care of us. 🐾❤️

To know Dudley is to love him; he brings pure joy and comfort to every single person he encounters. He has been our rock for months, but now it’s his turn to find his forever family. We are so deeply attached to Dudley and have done everything possible to make his stay here special, but a shelter can only ever be a stepping stone. He truly deserves to step outside these walls and settle into a place he can call home.

Dudley is an absolute gem.. A big-hearted, 85 lb “oversized puppy”.. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would thrive in a home with older kids who can keep up with his fun-loving, high-energy spirit. Above all, Dudley is one of the most affectionate, loving dogs you will ever meet.

Please like, share, tag, or comment if you think you’d be a good fit or anyone you know. Visit naperhumane.org/adopt for more info

Meet Oliver. 🐾

Behind those sweet eyes is a cat who is ready to give you all the love in the world, even if he comes with a couple of extra-care footnotes.

Oliver is FIV positive and manages diabetes, but please don’t let those medical terms scare you! Being FIV positive simply means he has a slightly modified immune system, he can live a long, happy, indoor life just like any other cat and can safely live with other non-aggressive, spayed/neutered cats. His diabetes just means a routine feeding schedule and twice-daily insulin management, which quickly becomes second nature.

He might be a little extra care, but he gives back tenfold in affection. We’re just looking for that one special person who has the time, patience, and heart to give this deserving boy the forever home he’s been waiting for. 💛

Yesterday, we welcomed 17 cats and kittens straight from Aurora Animal Control into our care! Being able to take in a group of this size all at once is only possible because of our amazing, dedicated foster team who incessantly steps up and opens up their homes, which gives us more room for more rescues. ❤️

Because these little ones are so young, they have a journey ahead of them. They will need weeks of dedicated medical care and proper nourishment before they are ready to find their forever homes. 🩺😽

How you can help: Donate!
* Non-clumping cat litter
* Wet kitten food.

linktr.ee/naperhumane (urgent, running low list)

Thanks to your previous donations we’re not completely depleted, but we always like to have extra supply on hand for large, unexpected intakes like these! 📦🙀

These kittens are not yet ready for adoption and we unfortunately cannot give a timeline of when they’ll be available, but we do update our website regularly, so keep an eye on our adoptable animals page if you are looking for your furrever friend! 🥰🐱

P.S. We're always looking for more loving fosters! If interested, please visit https://www.naperhumane.org/foster
