Meet Batman!

This friendly guy arrived at Heartland on May 5, 2026 from Chicago Animal Care and Control along with his best buddy Husky. Their owner could no longer care for them. They are both really curious and affectionate cats who are looking for a loving home together!

Batman is neutered, up-to-date on his FVRCP and Rabies vaccines and he is FIV and FeLV negative.

Batman and Husky are currently staying at our Heartland Facility! We are open Thursday 4 pm-7 pm, Friday 4 pm-7 pm, Saturday Noon-6 pm, and Sunday Noon-6 pm. Feel free to stop by to meet them! No appointment necessary.
