Here's what the humans have to say about me:
The Chipster's a quiet lady, but will actively seek out your affection. Greeting you at the door, she's ready to cuddle and hang out the second you come home. Tiny toy mice and laser pointers will capture her attention and have you cracking up as she chases them at lightning speed—and when she crashes, she still manages to stay somewhat alert, surveying her favorite spots (like your cozy armchair or sunny windowsill) for squatters. When it's bedtime, you can count on her to snuggle up, and she'll even wake you gently in the AM for breakfast. So, if you're looking for a low-maintenance but fun furball to bring into your home, come meet Chipper today! Chipper is very petite and playful. She was born in May 2016 and does well with other cats.
Have you heard of Black Cat Syndrome? It refers to the phenomenon that many shelters experience when it comes to adopting out black cats (and black dogs). Sadly, they are often the last to find forever homes. Why are black cats and dogs so often left behind? Many who work in rescue believe it has to do with the fact that it’s harder for people to read the expressions on the faces of the black cats and dogs. Additionally for cats, they carry the baggage of ridiculous superstition and being referred to as bad luck (although they are actually considered GOOD luck in the UK!!). Don’t pass up the opportunity to provide a forever home for a black cat or a black dog. You’ll receive a gift of love beyond your expectations!
If you live in Chicago and are interested in learning more about Chipper please contact Toni McNaughton at tonimcn@rcn.com and Lisa Ward at catladychicago@yahoo.com. Please tell us a bit about your situation, what you are looking for, the composition of your current household (the other humans and/or pets who already live there). Inquires with these questions answered are responded to promptly.
We are always in need of foster homes. If you are not able to adopt, but are interested in fostering or know someone who might be, we would love to hear from you! Please contact Toni McNaughton at tonimcn@rcn.com or Lisa Ward at catladychicago@yahoo.com to learn more. Photos by Kari Peters
