Spunk and Biscuit

A feature The Herald-News had for many years was called Pets of the Week.

This was a weekly roundup of dogs and cats from area shelters and rescues who needed homes.

When the person who put this together was laid off, the feature went away. It was reinstated in 2014 after Shaw Media bought The Herald-News and I was hired as the features writer and editor for this publication.

Two cats from Humane Haven Animal Shelter in Bolingbrook that kept returning year after year were Spunk and Biscuit.

Rebekah said if something ever happened to our cats (we have a pet limit at the townhome), she would adopt them.


But that still leaves Biscuit, who looks somewhat like our Tabby Fraces.

If you, or someone you know, needs a cat to complete the family home, please consider opening your doors and heart to this cat.

Here is Biscuit's information:

Biscuit is a sweet 8-year-old who likes to play with string toys. She does well with other cats. Since she’s shy around people, she needs a family who’s willing to be very patient and give her the time and space she needs to get used to her new home. She also needs a special diet for kidney support. She’s quiet and likes to be petted if you take it slow and easy. To meet Biscuit, contact Humane Haven Animal Shelter at hhas.org or 630-378-4208.
