You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.If you're working for home or just playing it safe by practicing social distancing, now is a perfect time to bring a new furry family member into the fold. Email us any questions about any cats we have and we will be happy to provide any additional information you may need. If you are approved for adoption, we are now doing curbside adoptions in order to minimize contact. Calypso is about 2 years old as of April 2026. She has spent a large portion of that time in confinement. She was trapped as an older kitten with the intent to be socialized for adoption. Due to a series of unfortunate incidents, the window to return her back to her outside home closed, so we decided to continue efforts to socialize. Recently she has been given free reign of her foster home, and she's getting so brave! She's gone from spending her days in the basement to spending almost all her time in the vicinity of her foster family. Her buddy Spokane, also available, gives her so much confidence. If she's laying with him, she will relax for pets. Otherwise she stays just out of reach, but that's ok! She's used to TV, seeing people walk by outside, and sharing the couch with humans. While we would love to see her flourish in her own home, we are now looking for any safe outcome. If you have a SAFE shop, building, or barn, we think she would adapt. Her foster mom is very ill and she has nowhere else to go. Please consider her! Apply for this beautiful girl now at safehousepets.orgVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.All of our cats have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, de-wormed, microchipped, and tested for FIV/FeLV. Our adoption fee structure is as follows:   $75 - Kittens/Young (Up to 1 year) $50 - Adult (1 Year +) $25 - Senior (7 Years +) $0 - FIV + There is an additional $25 fee for cats considered to be an "Exotic" (Siamese, Persian, etc...) If you are a senior (65 years or older) you can adopt any of our senior cats (7 years or older) for only $10! Please mention this special when applying. We also have a kitten special - adopt 2 available kittens (1 year & under) for $125 While we try to keep our animal listings up-to-date online, sometimes the age range may be labelled incorrectly. Please don't hesitate to contact us for the most up-to-date information on a particular cat.  Our cats are shown by appointment - we are a foster based rescue and so we don't have a location with set hours. If you are interested in adopting or would like to meet our cats, please fill out our adoption application online at www.safehousepets.org/info/adoption and a volunteer will contact you promptly.  October 1, 2026, 9:00 am

Story
This is Little Bo Peep. She was born in May 2026 by a stray neighborhood cat. I took it upon myself to trap, tame and socialize her and her 2 siblings. She is a beautiful, sweet, gentle calico "teenage" kitten, who likes to play, explore, talk and eat. She is not a lap-cat, but she likes to be petted and "talk" to you. She would prefer a quieter home with no small children. A senior or a single person might be ideal for this gentle girl? I got her spayed on 8/27/26 and she has been tested for ringworm, been dewormed and had 2 shots (FVRCP) and had flea preventative. I am asking $100 adoption fee. She needs to have a playmate, if you don't already have a cat 16 months or younger, she will need a friend. I have her sister on here for adoption as well (Look for "Ginger") I give a DISCOUNT if you adopt both of my girls :)

Mishu is about 5-6 years old, she is a lovely cat and loves the attention you give her, if she likes you, she'll follow you around all day. She is also quite small for her age.She has ovarian remnant syndrome that causes her to go into mini heats and pee everywhere and I can't take care of that anymore.

Story
Meet Dixie, she is a 3-4 year old calico.she is a very pretty girl. Poor Dixie and her friend, Trixie, lost their home to owner's illness, no fault of theirs. Dixie was originally an outside cat who was found and brought inside with kittens. Kittens had found their homes and now mom needs a chance. I don't know how long she had originally been outside but she is still shy but I believe has a lot of potential with a loving patient person. Dixie is spayed, FIV/FelV negative, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. If you think you would like to make Dixie part of your family please call Jody at 708-268-6965. Her adoption fee is $85.00.

Story
Meet Wren 🐾 Wren’s story began in a warehouse, where this tiny little girl was found all alone at just 3 weeks old. There was no mama cat, no siblings, and no one to care for her. She was covered in fleas and already fighting so hard to survive. Thankfully, Wren found her way into rescue, where her amazing foster family stepped in and bottle-fed her, cared for her, and gave her all the love she needed to grow. Against the odds, this little fighter thrived. ❤️ Now, at 3 months old, Wren is a beautiful calico/tortie with a BIG personality to match her adorable face. She is opinionated, sassy, playful, and incredibly cuddly. She knows what she wants and isn't afraid to let you know it! Once she's ready for snuggles, though, she's happy to curl up with her people and soak up all the affection. Wren is also wonderfully social and does great with other cats, dogs, and gentle children. She has come such a long way from the tiny, flea-covered kitten fighting to survive in that warehouse. Now she's healthy, happy, spayed, vaccinated, and ready for the part of her story we've been waiting for — finding her forever family. 🏡💕 If you're looking for a playful little companion with plenty of sass and an enormous heart, Wren may be your girl!
