Cookie enjoys the simple joys in life tasty snacks, cozy naps, and watching birds and fish like it’s her favorite TV show. She has a calm, observant nature and would do best in a home that can give her a little patience and lots of love. Cookie is looking for a forever home where she can feel safe, loved, and cherished.

Story
Fostered on Chicago’s North Side! Meet the Valentine Trio. Why choose a best friend from a screen when you can meet the whole crew? Cupid, Ruby, and Rose are a bonded trio of 10 month old "graduates" currently thriving in their foster home. These three have never spent a day in a shelter cage; they are 100% "city-vetted" and socialized to the rhythms of a real home. The North Side Experience: Fostered in the Avondale neighborhood on Chicago's North Side, these three are true city cats. They live on a busy street and are unfazed by the sounds of traffic, sirens, or general neighborhood bustle. They act as full-time "supervisors" of the house—whether you’re on a Zoom call or cooking dinner, expect a splotchy shadow nearby. (Just watch your step at breakfast; they are very enthusiastic about mealtime!) The "Matchmaker" Meet-and-Greet: We know it’s hard to tell personalities from a photo. Once your application is approved, followed by a brief phone call with our team, you are able to meet all THREE cats in their foster home! We want to see who you gravitate toward, and more importantly, which cat chooses YOU. Adoption Goals: The Dream: All three stay together! The Plan: A pair (any combination works—they are all best friends) and the third to a home that already has a friendly, social cat for company. Meet the Individuals! -Cupid (The Professional Cuddler) Identity: The biggest of the three and the only male. Personality: Cupid is the ultimate socialite. He loves meeting new people and will immediately jump into a guest's lap to purr himself to sleep. If you start petting him, he’s instantly on his back with his legs in the air, purring aggressively for belly rubs. He’s also a "clean plate" club member—he’ll happily help his sisters finish their breakfast if they leave any leftovers! -Ruby (The Polite Cheerleader) Identity: The smallest of the group; mostly white fur with distinct spots on her ear and rear leg. Personality: Ruby is the queen of "Zoomie Time." She is high-energy and deeply bonded to her siblings. Her cutest quirk? At mealtime, she stands on her hind legs to "supervise" her bowl being filled. She is a "lady with boundaries" who communicates clearly; she loves affection but will give you a tiny, gentle nudge when she’s had exactly enough, making her perfect for a home that understands and respects cat language. -Rose (The Stunning Athlete) Identity: Rose is the "supermodel" of the group, featuring deep black eyes and stunning golden spots. Personality: Rose is the most playful and energetic when it comes to toys and feather wands. While she is always nearby and loves sleeping at her foster dad's feet, she is a bit more independent with her affection. She enjoys light pets but prefers to keep her belly a mystery. She’s a perfect match for someone who loves an active, engaged cat who appreciates a little personal space. **Discounted Adoption Fee!** Three hearts are better than one! If you adopt all three in the litter, one adoption fee is on us. If you’re interested in adopting, please complete our adoption application at: www.HighTailsNFP.org/adopt
