Story
Meet Blue! 🩵 Blue is a charming mix of sweet and grumpy who’s ready to steal your heart. He’s bilingual — he understands both Spanish and English — and he’s as smart as he is handsome. Blue loves lounging on cozy couches, squeezing into boxes, and hanging out with small dogs who respect his space. He enjoys affection, but on his own terms — the best cuddles come when he decides it’s time. If you’re looking for a laid-back companion with personality, Blue is your guy.

Owen

Domestic Shorthair

Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Owen is a very handsome and sweet male orange tabby kitty, about 2 years old (born ~July 2022). He is initially shy, but will gradually build up a bond with his person and sit or lay next to them for cuddles. At meal time he will rub around your legs and meow to be noticed. He is playful, LOVES to be brushed and will let his foster pick him up for a brief time. Owen would love to be adopted to a home with his brother, Pokey, or to a home with another playful cat buddy. Because he is shy, it would be best if he is adopted to a quiet home without young children.

Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Mabel is a spayed female brown tabby shorthaired kitten. Mabel and her sisters were born to a feral cat in Winthrop Harbor that we've been trying to trap and spay for over 2 years. Thankfully we finally caught her this time, but her 3 newest daughters were about 10 weeks old and already turning feral. With some intense TLC in a foster home they've made a lot of progress and are now ready to be adopted as pet cats. Mabel was the "leader" of her litter and came around to people the fastest. She's the first one to greet people and the most enthusiastic about getting attention and being held. She's still going to be a little shy with new people but she loves being petted and playing with people. She gets along great with her sister Charlie and would probably do best adopted along with her or as a little sister to another young playful kitty. She has never lived with a dog and because she's a little more shy, we think she'd do best in a cat only household without any especially young children that couldn't give a shy kitty more space and quiet time as she gets used to them.
