Spayed or Neutered,

Story

I'm Valerie, and I'm looking for a roommate. I first came to Paws and Claws in April of 2025, and I've been looking for my forever home since then. I'm 10 years old and prefer a calm home where I can be queen of the castle. I will never say no to a little milk, cheese, or peanut butter, if you're offering. I enjoy hanging out on the back of the couch near you, or laying on the rug nearby, but cuddling has never really been my thing. I do love some pets and scratches to my head, though! In exchange for taking care of me, I'll keep you safe by monitoring the outside world through the windows and letting you know when any birds or squirrels pass by -- window-sitting is one of my talents! I also do a great impression of a seal, where I lay on my back and put my feet up I the air like flippers. I think you'll really love it! If you have some extra space in your house and heart, and are looking to give an older gal a place to chill, I think we'll get along great.

Apple Pie

Domestic Shorthair

Female, 1 yr

Evanston, IL

Size

(when grown) -

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

This girl is just as sweet as apple pie! Apple Pie loves a good cuddle with her people, where she can curl up right on your chest or under your chin. Bonus points if there's also a fuzzy blanket or heating pad involved! She does have an alter-ego, however: a little huntress! She loves to "hunt" the pigeons and squirrels through the window, tracking them until they leave. Apple Pie also loves to make her own "prey" with mouse toys, balls of paper, or anything she can bat around easily. Apple Pie's perfect adopter is someone who can give her the attention she deserves -- someone who is looking for a cuddlebuddy, playmate, and a lap/shoulder/chest cat for when they lay down at night.

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet the reigning shadow boxing champion, Elm! This guy has boundless energy, but has luckily met his perfect playmate in Estelle, his best friend. Even though these two can keep each other well occupied, Elm never says no to some time with his humans, especially if you've got a wand toy around. Outside of his impressive athleticism, Elm lives by the motto: play hard, rest harder. He loves a nap, and will always find the coziest cardboard box around to curl up in for the night.

Turin

Domestic Shorthair

Male, 1 yr 1 mo

Evanston, IL

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Turin and Messina are two bonded siblings ready to find their forever home after looking for over 140 days! Turin is a quiet boy with a sleepy look in his eye, who loves to follow closely behind his confident sister, Messina. Together, they love to see what exactly the humans around them are up to. Their perfect person is an early waker (not riser, as the morning is one of their favorite times for attention), with the expectation that you'll lovingly begin your shift in the petting mines upon waking. Outside of relishing in your attention, they are huge toy cats who love to expend their mental energy chasing after wands or stuffed mice.

Sierra Mist

Domestic Shorthair

Female, 7 yrs 2 mos

Evanston, IL

(when grown) -

Details

Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Sierra Mist lives up to her name -- bubbly and so sweet! This girl's perfect person is someone who enjoys an interactive, affectionate companion, and is looking for a cat that truly feels part of their daily life. Sierra Mist would do excellent in a home where a talkative kitty is appreciated, and with a person who doesn't mind a cat-shaped shadow. A confident and playful cat, Sierra Mist would do great in a home where she can stay engaged with toys and attention. At the same time, her sweet, cuddly side means she'll happily settle in when you're ready for snuggles and biscuit-making. Her foster's favorite quirk of Sierra Mist is that she is adorably uncoordinated. When Sierra Mist plays with a wand toy, she sits up on her back paws and clumsily swings her front paws around while keeping her mouth wide open. As you might imagine, she's not very successful at catching toys, but she sure looks cute doing it!
