Hi , we are looking to rehome Maxi . Maxi was my mom's favorite cat. My mom passed away last march of 2023. She loves back rubs and hip rubs. Looking for her to be the only animal . She needs someone who's willing to be patient with her while she warms up to you. She loves cuddles . Someone who is home a lot is preferred.

Story
My mom passed away last March of 24. She had tippy since she was about 1 or 2 . She is turning 11 this year. We are needing to rehome Tippy because the other cats we have bully her when she tries to eat and go to the bathroom. She's a sweet cat and loves to be petted .She needs a home where she is the only animal. Shy at first but definitely warms up. She loves to be brushed and definitely needs it at least once a week. Once she gets close to you she will come when called by name. Looking for someone who has had cats before an understands patience is key.

Story
We adopted Olive close to 2 months ago. Olive is super sweet, always wanting to be close by. She loves to play with all of her toys but also enjoys her alone time to stare out the window to watch the birds and squirrels. While isn’t a lap cat she still loves her head scratches and will constantly show her love by rubbing up on you. We would love to keep her, but my allergies are worse than anticipated and she deserves someone who can snuggle and give her all the love she deserves.

Story
I am recently divorced and am no longer able to care for two cats. My cat Butters is very friendly, playful, and loving, and requires a lot of attention. She does not get along well with my older cat who I have had for significantly longer. I am worried about my older cat’s mental health, and believe Butters will be better served in a loving one animal only home. I would like to find her a new forever home, please let me know if you would be interested in adopting her, so we can speak over the phone and setup a meet and greet.

Story
Meet Cirrus, the charming feline who was rescued as a tiny ball of fur by Almost Home Foundation and is still on the lookout for his forever family. This playful kitty is a pro at toy games and laser light chases. He's a little nosy too, peeking out of windows to spy on the world and animals outside. When he's not on an adventure, Cirrus loves snuggling up in a cozy nook for a nap and adores bedtime cuddles with his favorite human. Unlike most cats, Cirrus is all about belly rubs and shoulder snuggles, where he'll nuzzle against you lovingly. Chin scratches and head pats are the way to this cat's heart. Regular grooming sessions keep him purring with happiness. Cirrus is a social butterfly around grown-ups and older kids, is cool with other cats, but is not a fan of canine companions.Almost Home's Adoption Requirements:* Be at least 21 years of age* Have the knowledge and consent of all adults living in the household* Have written approval from owner of residence* Have a valid government-issued photo ID with current address* Be approved as a suitable adoptive home by Almost Home Foundation* Be ready to make a lifetime commitment* Live in the greater Chicagoland area (Illinois residents only)* Pass a veterinarian reference check for current and past pets If you are interested in Cirrus, please complete an online adoption application at https://www.almosthomefoundation.org/adopt/adopt-a-cat/ or email cats@almosthomefoundation.org. *** Please note that Almost Home Foundation accepts only cash or checks for adoption fees; we do not accept debit or credit cards. ***
