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.

Story
Norman is an adorable tabby kitten who has the softest fur with really pretty markings. He enjoys crawling into his foster mom's lap for snuggles. Just don't interrupt him when he is watching his favorite TV show, General Hospital. Norman is shy when meeting new people, but he warms up fast. Give this terrific soap opera loving tabby a chance. He would love to be adopted with hi BBF Mary Jane._________________________________________________________________________Adoption Donation for Norman is $ 200.00WANT TO MEET NormanThe first step would be for you to go to our website at www.aear.org and then to the “Adopting a Pet” page to read about our Adoption Process which will answer many of your questions and then to fill out an Adoption Application.Also, please visit our very active Facebook Page for updates on Norman and our other adoptable pets with AEAR - www.facebook.com/aear.orgAll our animals available for adoption are living in foster homes.

Story
Sally is pure love wrapped in soft fur. This stunning girl is one of the most affectionate cats you’ll ever meet—she’s always nearby, quietly trailing her foster mom from room to room, waiting for the perfect moment to curl up in her lap. Once she’s there, she settles in for hours of blissful snuggles and gentle brushing.Her beauty is undeniable, but it’s her sweet, devoted nature that truly makes her shine. Sally is the kind of companion who turns everyday moments into cozy memories. If you’re looking for a loyal lap cat with a heart full of love, Sally’s ready to meet you.Sally is a young long-hair calico with unique markings. She came to us pregnant, and in addition to raising her own brood, she took in an orphan kitten. All of the kittens have been adopted. Sally's baby-making days are over and she is ready to begin life in a furever home. Her foster home has small dogs and cats. If you live in a bi-petual household, she should adjust well with proper introductions and time._________________________________________________________________________Adoption Donation for Sally is $ 200.00WANT TO MEET SallyThe first step would be for you to go to our website at www.aear.org and then to the “Adopting a Pet” page to read about our Adoption Process which will answer many of your questions and then to fill out an Adoption Application.Also, please visit our very active Facebook Page for updates on Sally and our other adoptable pets with AEAR - www.facebook.com/aear.orgAll our animals available for adoption are living in foster homes.
