Hi! My name is Foreman. I'm really really happy to be in a Paws and Claws foster home. I'm not too cuddly yet- I get scared when people come at me too fast or stand over me. I can get nervous when you try to pet me. If you let me come to you, I will settle down and be very affectionate. It just needs to be on my terms at first.
My foster says I will end up warming your heart if you can be patient with me. When I want attention, I'll meow at you and run to you so I can self-pet against your legs. I also thrive when I can rely on routine. I like having my own safe space set up.
After my morning meal, I usually find a spot to nap for the day. I like napping near my foster. I love to toss toys when I play and will happily bound after them. After my evening meal, my foster and I always have catnip time. I run when I hear the container shaking! I play, and I feel very affectionate before going to bed.
I would do best with an experienced cat owner who will take the time to get to know me and will be patient. And I don't mind other cats or dogs, so I could go to a home with other pets as long as the home is on the more quiet side. With patience and routine, I will be the best cat ever!

More about this rescue
Paws and Claws Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in the Chicagoland area dedicated to preventing, and alleviating the suffering caused by abuse, neglect, and overpopulation. We help dogs and cats mentally and physically heal, and give them a chance to find love, a full life, and a forever home.
Our focus is on rescuing orphaned neonatal kittens, nursing kittens with their feral mothers, under-socialized cats, and dogs who have been at Chicago Animal Care and Control for too long. We see ourselves as the crossing guards for these vulnerable animals, helping them get from their past, whether that be from a traumatic home, a kennel, or a euthanasia list, to a safe and kind human who will love them.
