My story

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

Hi, I am Nelson. 🐾

I am a brown and white tabby with striking golden amber eyes and a personality that is just as bright. I originally came from Chicago Animal Care and Control, but what really matters is where I am headed next: my forever home.

I am incredibly friendly and absolutely love people. I am a big talker and will happily chat with you about everything and nothing at all. If you enjoy a cat who greets you, follows you around, and makes sure you never feel ignored, I am your guy.

I seek attention and affection and will gladly soak up pets, love, and companionship. I thrive on being part of your day and your routine, whether that means cuddling, supervising your activities, or simply keeping you company.

I am looking for a home where I can be loved, adored, and included. If you are searching for a social, sweet, and affectionate cat, I would love to meet you.

Our adoption facility hours and location can be found on our website. https://carenorthshore.org/care-adoption-center/

Additional adoption info

See our process and policies on our website.
https://carenorthshore.org/adoption-information/

Our fees include a full medical exam by a veterinarian. This includes a Feline Leukemia and FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) test for cats, Rabies and Distemper Vaccines, deworming and Spay/Neuter. Dogs receive a Heartworm Check, Spay/Neuter, Rabies and Distemper Vaccines, Canine Flu Vaccine, deworming, and Kennel Cough preventative. Our modest adoption fees do not cover the procedures and vet work that we provide the animals. We fundraise to make up the difference. Any ongoing medical needs that C.A.R.E. is aware of are explained fully, (including daily medicine costs), to the potential adopter, and become the responsibility of the adopter.
