Story
Bonded pair. Rehoming for my mother as her health has declined. She adopted the cats thru a rescue Dec 2024 and they were determined to be 4 months old at the time. Vaccines and spay at Noah's Ark. They are little box trained. They are sisters and very bonded so would like to keep them together. They are sweet and cautiously curious . They love to play together. They have been very well cared for and super spoiled. They have not been around children or large animals.

Story
I will start by saying Charcoal is a great and loveable cat under the right conditions. When we are alone with no other cats around, he is the most attention starved cat on the planet. He's shy around strangers so he takes time to warm up to people. We got him when he was about a month old back in October 2020 from a family friend. Things started out fine. We got him fixed as soon as the vet gave the go ahead to avoid the very issue we have now. He acts as if he's never been fixed. He fights all our female cats, (tolerates the males?) and worse of all, he's marking everywhere. We've taken him to the vet, nothing wrong. We tried pheromone diffusers and collars, nothing improved. Judging by his behavior when we are alone with him, we have come to the hard decision that our house might just be stressing him out too much. He might just not like other cats as we never see him playing with anyone.

Story
Estrella was adopted from a shelter in August of 2025 when she was a kitten about 2 to 3 months old with the objective to add her to our family and give companion to our first cat, but unfortunately our first cat did not accept her and to this day nothing has changed.She is sweet, loving, smart, vocal, playful, she keeps me company and follows me to every room in the house. Unfortunately she has learned to become defensive with other cats due to our first cat not accepting her.Estrella needs a quiet, peaceful home where she is given a lot of attention, ideally someone that spends most of their time at home. If this sounds like a match to your lifestyle, please reach out and give it a try.I will provide her first two weeks of food for her, also provided her feeding bowls, water fountain, cat tower, and cat scratcher.

Story
Maggie is a beautiful black and white cat. Maggie is a talker! She is approx 4 yrs old. She loves to drink out of the faucet and loves her independence. She would thrive in a home where she is the queen. She does well with dogs, but does not like other cats which is why we need to re-home her unfortunately.

Story
Name:  Hyacinth BridgertonBreed: Tortie/DSHDOB: 4/1/2026Good with kids: YESGood with dogs: YESGood with cats: YESFoster location:  Chicago, IL  Adoption fee: $200 a kitten or $350 for a pair of kittens under 2 years of age. Fun Bio: The tiniest girl with the biggest heart and zero fear. She loves everyone and thinks they all live in HER world. Hyacinth wants to be cuddled, fed, played with, fed, held, fed, and repeat. She mooches off of everyone's plate, even when she hasn't finished her food. She is crazy about the dog and runs after him if he dares to walk away from her. Hyacinth is quite a fast runner and if she's not following the dog, she's following foster momma. She can be very vocal if she thinks she's being ignored. Kittens need to hit 2 pounds (usually around 10–12 weeks old) before they can be spayed or neutered. We try to schedule their surgeries as close to that mark as possible, but of course it depends on the vet’s availability. This all has to happen before they’re ready for adoption—so once they’re fixed, they’ll be on their way to their forever homes!  If interested in a pet from us please fill out the adoption application that is located on our website.  We process applications in the order in which they are received.   We always recommend playtime, positive reinforcement training and a regular schedule for feeding times when bringing a new cat/kitten into your home. Adjustment takes time for both you and your new family member, so remember to be patient and enjoy this new and exciting time! Included in the adoption fee are age appropriate vaccinations, FeLV/FIV testing (done at 26 weeks), deworming, spay or neuter surgery, and microchip. Anti-Declawing Policy: All cats and kittens will have a no declaw policy in their adoption contract with us!   Declawing is a series of bone amputations.  Declawing is more accurately described by the term de-knuckling and is not merely the removal of the claws, as the term “declawing” implies.  In humans, fingernails grow from the skin, but in animals that hunt prey, the claws grow from the bone; therefore, the last bone is amputated so the claw cannot re-grow.  Declawing is one of the most painful, routinely performed procedures in all of veterinary medicine.  Each toe of the cat is amputated at the first joint.  Declawing a cat is equivalent in a person to amputating the entire first knuckle of every finger.  Declawing is done strictly for the benefit of the owner.  There are NO benefits to the cat and NO good reasons to declaw. Declawing can lead to behavior changes.  A declawed cat has no way to defend itself and may resort to biting more often.  Due to pain, they may stop using the litter box.  There are humane alternatives to declawing.  Cats can be trained to use scratching posts.  They should have their nails trimmed regularly.  There is double sided sticky tape that can be put on furniture to deter a cat from scratching there.  There are also nail caps called Soft Paws that are glued onto a cat's nail without harm.   ##2725054##
