Ilsa isn't above waking up her person at the crack of dawn for food.

Pet's Story
In the wake of her mother's death, Ilsa's future human began to think about adopting a cat. It was love at first sight when Casey walked into the Bloomington Animal Shelter on a fateful day in September 2012.

Ilsa had been a living outside for 6 months before she was lucky enough to be picked up by animal control with her siblings. After only a couple of hours on the adoption floor, Ilsa was as eager to go home with Casey as Casey was to bring Ilsa home to her new life.

Casey and Ilsa have stuck together through graduate school, multiple moves, and new jobs. Everyone knows that dogs are a person's best friend. But we think the same is true of cats, too.

Now, every day is a holiday for Ilsa.
