My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This is the beautiful Loofah, the matriarch of the Klean Kitties litter. Her kittens have now all been adopted and she's ready for her forever home. She's a beautiful long, lanky, tortoiseshell girl. Her coloring is quite nice. Instead of blotches of orange and cream like a lot of torties, she has mostly fine streaks of the lighter colors in her dark fur. A very 1970-80s “frosted” look! Lighter fur around her eyes helps them standout and she does have one very cute cream-colored paw.



Loofah has a nice and friendly personality. She doesn't particularly like the other cats in her foster home so is kept in a bedroom by herself when she is not able to be supervised. When she's out of the bedroom, she doesn't hide at all and comes when she is called. She's great with all people, not at all shy, and will suck up all the attention you can give her. She loves to hang out with her foster mom when she's in her home office working on the computer, and she sleeps nicely with her foster mom or in one of her cat beds at night. She's perfect with the litter box and good with using pole scratchers.



Loofah would be happiest as an only child. If you're looking for a fantastic new feline companion to have a one-on-one relationship with, come check this awesome girl out!



We estimate Loofah to be no older than 2 years old, and her adoption fee of $175 includes: Feleuk/FIV test (neg.), FVRCP (distemper combo) vaccination, rabies vaccination, deworming, microchip and spay.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our adoption process: Adopt-A-Pet does not own a shelter facility. Because all of our animals are in private foster homes, they are shown by appointment, after an application has been submitted.

How to start the process: Contact us by email or phone. An adoption counselor will return your message within 1-2 days. You will be asked to fill out an application that will ask for personal information about your family, your home and about the kind of pet you're looking for. Vet references, personal references and landlord information (if applicable) is required. You can also download an application from our website. Once you return the application, an adoption counselor will call you back for a more thorough interview, again within 1-2 days. Sometimes it may take a little longer as we're all volunteers and sometimes it gets very busy. Assuming the pet you're interested in appears to be a match for you, a meeting will then be set up. For some animals, a home check may be required. If an adoption takes place, you will be asked to sign a contract and pay an adoption fee. Each animal's individual adoption fee is posted in its description on our websites.

More about this rescue

ADOPT-A-PET is an all-volunteer non-profit animal shelter/adoption agency dedicated to saving the lives of lost, abandoned or otherwise homeless dogs, cats, puppies and kittens and placing them into permanent, loving homes.

ADOPT-A-PET provides a safe refuge and a second chance for unclaimed animals from various municipal pounds and, space permitting, accepts other homeless, neglected or injured animals from their rescuers.

ADOPT-A-PET was founded in 1981, and has since saved the lives of over 15,000 animals. All animals at Adopt-A-Pet are found permanent loving homes. Animals remain with us for as long as it takes to find them a suitable permanent new home.

ADOPT-A-PET does not own a shelter facility. All of our animals are boarded at co-operating animal hospitals or in volunteer foster homes until they are adopted by their new families.

ADOPT-A-PET provides all necessary medical care for every animal. All animals are health-checked, vaccinated, treated for medical problems and spayed/neutered.

ADOPT-A-PET is available for educational speaking engagements to schools and community groups in Chicago or the suburbs to promote proper pet care, compassion for animals, and the importance of spaying and neutering.
