Welcome to Adopt Me, our weekly tug on your heartstrings. And just look at the adorable cat we have for you this week.

Her name is Babe, and she’s a 1-year-old domestic shorthair. Like all the cats at the Kendall County Animal Control shelter in Yorkville, Babe was a stray, but she’s very friendly, and loves any and all attention, according to Assistant Warden Laura Pawson.

Babe has been at the shelter since April 12, and she’s looking for a forever home. Black cats in general don’t get adopted as quickly as others, Pawson said, but this cat would be “an all-around good family companion,” she said.

For information on adopting Babe, or any of the animals at the Kendall County Animal Control shelter, call 630-553-9256.
