Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
We adopted Pearl 10 years ago along with her sister Eloise. Shes an amazing cat. Loves to play and gets lots of back scratches. Unfortunately, her sister died two years ago. After six months, we adopted a dog and Pearl is very afraid no matter how we try to introduce them. She now spends most of her time hiding in the basement and only comes out when the dog is in a walk. She has gained a lot of weight but I think with more exercise she would do great. She’s an amazing cat.

Story
Yoshi is 2 years old and he's super sweet. He came to us via Chinatown in Chicago. He was part of a group of stray kittens. He has been with us for two years and we thought we were his forever home. He gets along with 5 of our cats, so generally gets along with other cats, but has taken against one after a dispute over food caused by the other. We have had to isolate him as we can't keep an eye on him 24-7. He is so sweet with people and wants attention from us and we want him to be happy with a family where he can be the "top cat." We are sad to do this, but we think he will be happier where he can have his own dedicated human.
