Alvin's Story

Alvin (as in Alvin the chipmunk) is a 4-year-old male domestic shorthair available for adoption at CCHS! Alvin was originally found as a kitten in a dumpster outside of a Panera Bread. His is a sweet and loving chonk of a boy. He will calmly sit on your lap and purr - the perfect lapcat, honestly! Clocking in at nearly 20lbs, this big boy needs to lose a bit of weight in order to be his most happy and healthy self. He did well living with dogs in his previous home, and Alvin is on a prescription urinary care diet. Come meet Alvin at CCHS!<br/><br/>Alvin is a STAFF FAVORITE pet! Here's what Adoption Staff member, Rita, has to say about him:<br/><br/>"Meet Alvin, who is one unit of a lap cat! The first time I met Alvin, a staff member was seated on a stool and Alvin was contentedly snuggling on their lap, not a care in the world, completely unbothered. Mind you, he takes up a lot of lap real estate. Clocking in at just over 18lbs, this big, white boy is the perfect weighted blanket. He has lost a few pounds since being in our care, and we are cheering him on! Alvin is very calm and chill, and would make a great companion for someone who wants a cat who, at 4 years old, is coming into his prime."

Champaign County Humane Society's Adoption Policy
The first step toward adoption is coming to the shelter to meet the animals. Once you have decided on an animal you would like to adopt, you will be asked to fill out an adoption application followed by a brief interview with one of our adoption counselors. If you prefer to fill out an Adoption Application online ahead of time, please visit the CCHS website. While submitting an application online will save some time during your visit to the shelter, submitting an application online does not place a "hold" on an animal, nor is it a guarantee of adoption. It generally takes 24-72 hours for the adoption staff to complete processing applications, so we do not send animals home the same day. MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS: CCHS accepts up to three applications per pet and priority for adoption is given to the first family to submit an application. If interested in a specific animal, we recommend calling the shelter prior to your visit for more information on their status. Please bring a valid photo ID with you for your visit to the shelter. You must be at least 18 years of age to adopt from CCHS. Hours for Adoptions: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday: 2:00 PM – 7:00 PM Saturday and Sunday: 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM The shelter is closed on Tuesdays and major holidays.
