Story

Hi! I'm Empanada but you can call me Emmy! I am only about 10-11 weeks old and already loving life! I am a happy little girl who loves to play and get into hijinks. I can make anything and everything a toy; bottlecaps, scraps of paper, scrunchies, seriously anything. I enjoy running, playing, and adore starting wrestling matches with my brother, Churro. He's the best toy there is, especially because once I am all tuckered out, he's right there ready to be my cuddlebuddy. Don't get me wrong, its not just Churro I like to snuggle with. I love snuggling up with humans, the other cats in my foster home, and even the small dogs in my foster home. The chihuahua doesn't know how to feel about me, but I am slowly winning him over. I know no one can resist how cute or sweet I am so I just snuggle up with him anyways. I would do well in just about any home with my sweet and playful nature but my one request, I need to stay with my brother, Churro. He's truthfully my world and I cannot imagine being without him. He's the yin to my yang. Even our personalities are similar, and yet so different. I love to play and am quite cuddly, but if I'm in the mood to play and you try to make me cuddle, I will leave and go play, on the flip of that though, my brother Churro is always ready for a snuggle and will drop anything he is doing to show you some love. Solution? Adopt us together for the perfect blend of fun and cuddles! Empanada is spayed, microchipped, has age appropriate vaccines, treated for worms, and combo-tested negative for FIV/Leuk. Her adoption fee is $150. For more information, please call or text 847-773-7639 or email info.stsff@gmail.com. Please note: We cannot hold cats for any reason. Please do not apply unless you are ready to meet and welcome a new companion into your home within 3 days of applying. ##2595779##

Story

Hello!!!! I'm Churro! I am only about 10-11 weeks old but I already know what I want in life, love. My foster mom often says that I am a whiny boy because I cry to get attention, but the second a human touches me, my whole body vibrates with loud purrs. I love love. It doesn't matter whats going on, the second someone holds me and pets me, cuddle time is on! My favorite things in life are humans and my sister Empanada. I basically require a snuggle buddy at every moment in time. Every once in awhile I remember I'm a kitten and I find a cat toy or sometimes even just a scrap of paper to play with, but once I tire out, back to my humans neck on the couch to cuddle. I do occasionally stand up, stretch, and relocate to the humans lap or legs. Are you sensing a theme? Anyways, I do have one big ask of my new family, Empanada and I need to be adopted together. We are two halves to a whole and I cannot imagine my life without her. I'm hoping this isn't a big ask since we both get along great with other cats, small kids, adults, and even small dogs. I do get a little spooked with dogs but Empanda actually loves them. I like the pomeranian and chihuahua in my foster home but the medium size dog I get a little poofy with but would likely do well in a home with dogs once I got to know them. Adopt us together today for lots of joy, laughs, and cuddles! Churro is neutered, microchipped, has age appropriate vaccines, treated for worms, and combo-tested negative for FIV/Leuk. His adoption fee is $150. For more information, please call or text 847-773-7639 or email info.stsff@gmail.com. Please note: We cannot hold cats for any reason. Please do not apply unless you are ready to meet and welcome a new companion into your home within 3 days of applying. ##2595770##

Story

Meet Nutter Butter!Nutter Butter is a 5-month-old female kitten bursting with energy, curiosity, and affection. She is an adorable mix of extremely active and intensely loving. She leans so hard into scratches that she may literally tip over—and if your toes are under a blanket, watch out! Surprise toe attacks are her specialty. Nutter Butter turns everyday objects into toys and proudly “hunts” feathers, leaves, and crumpled paper more enthusiastically than any store-bought toy. If she had a superpower, she’d choose a full Batman-style gadget kit—grappling hooks included (if only she had thumbs!). When the scritches are just too good, she collapses in pure bliss. It’s ridiculously cute. She also loves laps, cuddles, and cozy naps with her humans… as long as she’s had enough play first. During foster care, Nutter Butter lived with other cats and did well with children. Small kids may find her playful toe-attacks a bit much, so continued redirection and practice will help her thrive. She needs a home that offers plenty of mental and physical enrichment. Important: Nutter Butter must go home with a feline friend. She is very playful, social, and happiest with a buddy to wrestle, chase, and cuddle. She would LOVE to be adopted with another kitten or join a home that already has a friendly young cat. If you’re looking for a spirited, silly, affectionate kitten who will keep you laughing and fill your home with love, Nutter Butter might be your perfect match.

Story

Meet Fudge Stripe — Your Sweet, Shy Little Treasure! Must go home with a feline friend! Introducing Fudge Stripe, a gorgeous 5-month-old girl with soft stripes, gentle eyes, and a heart that blooms beautifully once she feels safe. She may start off a bit shy, but give her time — because underneath that quiet exterior is an incredibly sweet, curious, and loving kitten just waiting to shine. Fudge Stripe is an explorer at heart. She loves wandering around the house, investigating new corners, and especially hunting her toy mice. Her favorite trick? Tossing them into the air like she’s showing off her athletic skills. Playtime is the perfect way to help her open up and show you her silly, spirited side! This girl has a superpower too — invisibility! Not because she’s actually hidden, but because she thinks she is. Her “stealth mode” usually ends with her peeking around a corner with her quiet, question-mark meow, as if asking, “Did you see me?” One of the sweetest things about Fudge Stripe is how she’ll lean in for a surprise chin scratch — and the moment she does, you’ll feel your heart flip. That’s her special way of saying, “I trust you.” Fudge Stripe has been around other cats and children in foster care and did wonderfully. She’s independent but thrives with feline companionship and will absolutely need another friendly cat in her new home, preferably a confident older kitty who can help her feel secure and give her the companionship she loves. ‍ She adores playing chase with her cat friends, enjoys being petted when she knows she’s wanted, and will melt under a good chin rub. While she isn’t a huge fan of long cuddle sessions or being held for too long, she deeply appreciates soft, spontaneous affection. If you’re looking for a gentle, playful, quietly affectionate kitten who just needs a little encouragement to blossom, Fudge Stripe is your girl. With patience, companionship, and love, she’ll become the sweet, lively, loyal friend you’ve been dreaming of. Adopt Fudge Stripe today and watch her grow into the beautiful, loving cat she’s meant to be. WE DO NOT HAVE A PHYSICAL LOCATION AS WE ARE A FOSTER-BASED ORGANIZATION.
