Story
Meet Scooter! This brave little adventurer is a gray-and-white tabby dynamo powered by determination and pure kitten joy. Aptly named, Scooter was born with deformed hind legs so he relies solely on his strong front legs to get around - but he’s never let that slow him down! He zooms through the house like a tiny rocket, especially during his favorite zoomie hours (9–10 p.m., with possible bonus rounds at 1–2 a.m.). His adorable chirp of a meow announces his presence as he zips by in search of toys, friends, and scritches. Scooter is affectionate, opinionated, and unafraid to speak his mind - especially when he’s craving attention. He loves being pet, but he’s got some clear preferences: pets and scratches are great, but please don’t touch his lower back or hind legs. He’ll be sure to let you know if you overstep, so an adopter who respects his boundaries is a must. Despite his quirks, Scooter is endlessly outgoing. He’ll greet guests, charm the room, and demand his rightful share of the spotlight. He is fantastic with kids, cats, dogs, even parrots - and would thrive in an active, bustling household. He would however appreciate it if any kids in his future household were a bit older and understand his boundaries. He gets along fabulously with the two teenagers (thirteen and fifteen) in his foster home and they bathe him every week. Because of his mobility differences, Scooter has a few special needs. He uses the litter box reliably but can get a bit messy due to balance issues, so he’ll need weekly baths or sponge baths which he tolerates very well. A shallow litter box placed near his usual hangout area helps make life easier for him. He also can’t jump, so pet stairs or ramps will help him access beds and couches. But rest assured, Scooter is independent, capable, and so much more than his disability - he’s a fighter with a heart full of love. Scooter gets along beautifully with other cats and must be adopted into a home with a feline companion who will play and keep him company. His energy is typical kitten chaos, and he especially enjoys chasing other cats, batting toys under doors, and zooming after catnip mice. One of his favorite things is going on stroller rides in the sunshine - he truly enjoys life to the fullest. Scooter has come so far and continues to thrive with the support of people who believe in him. He’s affectionate, funny, full of personality, and ready to be someone’s best friend. He doesn’t see himself as different, and neither should you. This special little guy is looking for a home that will love him exactly as he is - because Scooter is nothing short of amazing.

Meet Rose Your Cool Cat Companion! Rose is your friend’s cool mom—the kind who cracks jokes, keeps up with the kids, and still manages to look effortlessly fabulous. This fun-loving feline adores playing with her kittens and will happily cat around the house—zooming up and down the cat tree, chasing her favorite toys, and leaving everyone else in the dust. Her superpower? Definitely The Flash —she’s that fast! While she’s enjoyed life with other cats, Rose is 100% content to fly solo. She’s an independent lady who marches to the beat of her own purr. She’s not clingy, but she loves being nearby—especially if her human is chill, calm, and respectful of her space. Rose prefers a quiet home without too much chaos—loud noises and surprise movements? Not her thing. She should be the fastest-moving thing in the house, thank you very much.  She’d do best with older kids who understand boundaries and would be a dream roommate for someone who wants a relaxed, affectionate, and sometimes silly little sidekick. This young mama has already raised her crew and is ready for the next chapter—training for a 5k (in her dreams), chasing toy mice, lounging on the highest perch of her cat tree, and soaking up quiet moments with her favorite human. Ready to let a little grace, speed, and feline charm into your home? Apply to adopt Rose today!

Raya's story in her own words!  My name is Raya, and I may be a bit shy at first, but I have a heart of gold waiting to find my forever home. I'm still learning to trust humans and while I prefer to keep my distance, I don't mind a gentle pet now and then. My favorite things in the world are Churu treats and playing with wand toys — I'm a skilled toy hunter if I do say so myself!  My superpower is patience; I rarely get flustered even when my energetic daughter Chiquita is causing chaos around me. I'm a calm presence in the midst of all the action. One of my foster's favorite memories of me is how I would stand up to receive a Churu treat, thinking I was being sneaky by not fully exposing myself from behind the sink. I've been living with my daughter Chiquita, and while I'm not sure if we're truly bonded, we do get along well and make good companions. Right now, I prefer a quiet household where I can continue to build my confidence at my own pace. I'm not quite ready for children or other animals in the home, but who knows what the future holds for me? If you're looking for a patient feline friend who enjoys quiet moments and the thrill of the hunt, I just might be the perfect match for you. Let's take things slow and see if we can build a trusting friendship together. Come meet me today and let's see if we're meant to be family!

Story
Rainbow Dash! He is a handsome boy with big, sweet eyes and an extra long tail! Rainbow Dash has made so many strides in the short time he's been with his foster. While this guy was understandably frightened and confused being abandoned outside a Petsmart, he very quickly started to decompress in his new foster home and show his sweet, loving personality. He now purrs and rubs his face all over his humans, stretching his long back legs and hanging out on his favorite pillow! He has also shown his fun, playful side, rolling around on the floor with a catnap kicker toy and jumping up to chase a wand toy! He's a very powerful jumper!  He'll even sometimes stand up on his hind legs on his foster mom's lap and do head bops!!! While this boy enjoys pets and scratches, he prefers them on his head or chin as he gets easily stimulated with too much petting all over his body. He will certainly need some time, patience and trust to feel comfortable in a new home, but when he does, he'll be a wonderful furry companion! Because Rainbow Dash seems sensitive to loud noises or sudden movements, he would do best in a quiet, low key, adults-only environment. He loves people, but wants attention and loving on his own terms. He would likely do best with a feline friend - or two! - that he can play and wrestle with to get out his energy. In his foster home, he has done great being a foster dad to kittens. Despite the size difference, he is great at finding the middle group of gently play wrestling with kittens! He may need a cat savvy adopter, but he is certainly a cat savvy cat.   Apply at online application (catsfff.org/adopt) View all of our adoptable cats here (catsfff.org/cats) Our adoption fees are listed here (catsfff.org/adoption-fees) ##1701090##

Meet Charlotte – A Strong, Resilient Beauty Ready for Her Forever Home! Charlotte is a brave and beautiful torbie cat with striking yellow-green eyes and a heart full of quiet love. Torbie cats have both tortie coloring and tabby patterns, which makes them extra unique! This sweet young kitty has spent the last few months being an amazing and devoted mama to her kittens, but now it’s her turn to find a home where she can finally relax, be spoiled, and enjoy life to the fullest! Charlotte is a true survivor—she spent years navigating the tough streets of Chicago, relying on her sharp instincts to stay safe. Because of her past, she may take a little time to warm up to new people, but once she trusts you, you’ll get to see her sweet and gentle side. She enjoys being near her people, accepting pets on her own terms, and simply soaking in the comfort of a safe home. She may not be a lap cat, but she expresses love in her own quiet way. She gets along well with other cats and small dogs, making her a great fit for a multi-pet household. This independent girl loves her alone time, but she also enjoys simple pleasures like lounging by the window to sunbathe, watching fish swim in an aquarium, or curling up in a cozy cardboard box. She occasionally likes to play and will bat around small toys, but mostly she likes to just relax…and we think she’s earned it! Charlotte is looking for a patient and understanding home that will give her the space and time she needs to blossom at her own pace. If you appreciate the quiet, independent love of a cat who has seen the world and is now ready to settle down in a loving home, Charlotte might just be the perfect feline companion for you. Can you give her the loving forever home she craves?
