Story

Meet Ethel! My name is Ethel, and I am 10 years young. My name signifies noble, aristocratic lineage and excellence — and I truly live up to it! I carry myself with grace and charm, like the royalty I am. I absolutely adore cuddles and kisses. Sweet affection is my favorite thing in the world! I love lounging beside my people and soaking up all the love they have to give. I enjoy the company of older cats and calm dogs — I appreciate mature friends who match my gentle energy. I’m the perfect companion for a peaceful home looking for a loving, dignified lady to share their heart and couch. If you’re looking for a sweet, noble soul to brighten your days, I’m your girl.

Story

My name is Edna. I was named after Edna St. Vincent Millay, the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. My foster mama loves to read, so she named me and my sisters after brilliant authors — and I think that makes us pretty special. I may not be as outgoing as Ethel and Edith, but I have a quiet charm all my own. I take a little time to feel comfortable, but once I do, my sweet personality truly shines. I love curling up on your lap while you watch TV or taking cozy naps right on top of you. There’s nothing better than being close to my person and feeling safe and loved. If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate girl who blossoms with patience and kindness, I would love to be your cozy companion.

Story

My name is Edith, and I was named after Edith Wharton, the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction — a name full of grace, intelligence, and quiet strength. I’m ten years old and as lovely as my namesake. One of my favorite things is sitting beside my foster mama while she reads. I make the perfect reading companion — calm, cozy, and content just being near my person. I love long naps on the couch and sleeping next to my foster and my foster friends. I have a gentle, sweet nature and enjoy peaceful company. While I adore affection and togetherness, I also have an independent streak and am perfectly happy doing my own thing when the mood strikes. If you’re looking for a refined, loving companion with a calm presence and a warm heart, I would love to curl up beside you.

Story

Meet Tilly! Tilly is a sweet, shy girl looking for a home that understands she might need a little extra time to warm up. But once she feels safe, Tilly melts for pets and head scratches. She is a big fan of canned food and will definitely need a home that has a friendly kitty to help her feel more confident. Tilly is a beautiful girl with the biggest eyes and softest fur. She has a very unique head tilt from a bad ear infection prior to coming to St Sophia’s. The head tilt does not affect her movement in any way, she gets around like any other cat.

Vixie (aka Vixen)

Domestic Shorthair

Female, 2 mos

Palatine, IL

Good with kids, Good with cats, House-trained,

Story

Vixie is a calm, quiet but playful little girl. She is very affectionate and loves her humans as well as her brother, Foxy. She enjoys attention and will make her needs known. She insists on plenty of petting time! These are a few of her favorite things- Beside being pet, she enjoys playing with pom poms, balls, toy mice as well as climbing and jumping. In fact, she has tried to imitate Foxy by climbing the cat scratcher. Unfortunately, her little feet wobbled, but with unwavering determination, she refused to give up! Unique Quirk: Vixie loves taking an after-dinner nap in a lap, followed by a burst of energy for playtime afterward! Vixie should thrive in a home where people are around, but she also enjoys her independent playtime. She is good with children and enjoys the company of a young cat companion like her buddy and brother Foxy, but she should do well as long as there's a kitty playmate in her new home. If you're looking for a sweet and loving companion who knows how to have fun while also enjoying quiet moments, then Vixie might be the purrfect match for you!
