Xeha is a sweet, gentle 4-year-old domestic shorthair. She loves lounging and snoozing in her bed, but she also enjoys exploring and getting attention from the volunteers at NAWS. She’s a happy kitty who enjoys “talking” with people. Give her a few head and chin scratches, and she will become your best buddy. She is not always fond of other kitties and should be a special one-and-only pet. To meet Xeha, email catadoptions@nawsus.org. Visit nawsus.org.

Scout is a sweet 20-pound terrier/Chi/cattle dog-type mix that loves to be with people and receive attention. He knows “sit” and “paw” and will happily offer those commands, even when no one asks him. Scout got along with small dogs at animal control but has not been a fan of other dogs since arriving at the shelter. Contact the Will County Humane Society at willcountyhumane.com and follow the instructions for the adoption process.
