Story
Patches is a sweet soul who loves his kitty buddies! Patches is a good, gentle boy who's a little takes some time to warm up, he is a total sweetheart.  He doesn't mind pets, but his foster mom has to find a safe spot, like a bathroom, that he can have. Maybe someone can build this guy a little tiny home that he can camp out in if needed!  He is HUGELY food motivated, so if you offer him yummy food (especially ham), he'll be your friend for life!  Though not a cuddler or lap sitter,  you will be able to pet him if you are patient and loving and get him to trust you. He is so special ♥♥♥♥♥ ! What are some of his favorite things?  Watching cat TV, playing with fuzzy toys, lazer pointers and walking alongside his foster mom's kitty.  In fact, Patches loves all cats and kittens!  I guess you could call him the kitty whisperer! And cuteness quotient?  Off the charts when he jumps in the air while playing with or chasing other kitties! Patches would do well in a quiet, possibly adults only home.  He has not been around dogs, but would absolutely need another cat or cats to take care of and play with!   If you want a sweet and funny boy, have the time and patience to get to know him and gain mutual trust, you couldn't find a better fur boy!

Story
Sedona is a very curious kitten-ninja. She loves to chase a laser pointer so much, that she will run up the wall using whatever there is to give her a leg up. Legend has it that she can also scale ceilings, but this has not been confirmed. Sedona is such a kitten-ninja, she finds hard-to-see places to nap occasionally! She loves getting pets from her human/s at her own pace. Once she decides you’re friendly, she is all about the pets. Sedona has no problem with other cats and a loud dog. Sedona needs to be adopted into a home with another kitty friend, and if you don't already have a kitty in your home we will happily suggest a pal for her! Apply for this cutie pie!

Story
Meet Boomer! Boomer is one of the most mild-mannered cats that you will ever meet.  He eats, sleeps and cuddles throughout the day.  He is always ready to greet you upon your arrival with some delightful conversation and some good yoga stretches!  Boomer would prefer a quieter home environment and would do well with older children.  As he loves every human he has ever met, he would thrive in a home where someone is home most of the day. He has such a laidback personality that he will most likely get along with another cat, and perhaps a dog, if given the right introduction.  He will also shine brightly as the only pet in your home! This young man does have some gastrointestinal issues and needs to be on a special raw diet.  He LOVES his raw food and it has resolved his issues! He will need to continue on this diet   Boomer is quite the lap cat and a great office buddy during the day!  He tends to be pretty independent through the middle of the night, which is a huge plus as we all love an uninterrupted good night's sleep, including Boomer.  He is always welcoming to strangers and is eager to cuddle up to the closest warm lap in the room!  He also enjoys his window watching time and is fascinated by all the sights he is able to see below. If you are interested in meeting Boomer, please apply at the link below.  This is one happy feline that will provide you with unwavering companionship!

Story
Charming, playful, and dapper for days, Sky has just what it takes to light up your life. His endless curiosity, mad hops, and other silly antics promise to bring all the laughs your way! Sky can easily be referred to as a cat whisperer! He has made even the most apprehensive of kitties his friends, teaching them how to play, be part of the pack, and of course, how to have fun! He is a cat's cat to the core and would make the perfect addition to a home who has a cat in need of a best friend! Sky earned his name from his ability to leap into the air and almost take flight. He likes to follow you around and interact with you, especially for his favorite treats! He is very in tune to the household routine and is a regular part of the “cat pack.” Sky's foster has even taught him some hand signals and commands! He will happily come when his name is called, running through the house to find you. Sky is good-natured and loves to pal around and play with the other cats. He fits right into the group and is a loyal best friend to his feline companions. When it comes to human friends, Sky is on the reserved side, but does build fantastic relationships with those he loves. He loves to play, run around the house, and show his people his silly side. He has a sweet nature and has grown significantly in his confidence in his time in foster care. Sky must go to a home with at least one other cat (he is happy with more than that too!), due to his love for animals. He is currently in a foster home with tuxedo kitten Paris, who is VERY social and outgoing. These two are the perfect duo of playful and loving, and would love to go into a foster home together. Otherwise, Sky is always happy to make friends with both cats and dogs. He’d likely prefer a house without children, and a home environment on the quiter side. He'd love a family who is willing to show him kindness and how much they love him as he warms up to his new home, so he can build the relationship and trust he desires to show his full personality! If you’re looking for a companion kitty for you and your resident kitties, then Sky is definitely the cat for the job! For a chance to bring this wonderful kitty home with you, just fill out an application today!

Story
Petite and pretty Bullet! She is a shy and gentle girl who needs a patient and loving adopter to help her continue to build her confidence so that she can truly blossom into the wonderful cat she was always meant to be.  Bullet is a tiny gal, and she has a tiny voice to match, which we find all the more endearing! Bullet would do best in a calm and quiet home where she is able to have her space and explore her new environment at her own pace.  She would do well with children ages ten and older.  She does enjoy having another cat friend around, but it would be best if that kitty were also submissive. Otherwise, Bullet would do well in a loving home as a single kitty, provided she can interact with human(s) regularly for attention and playtime. Although it may take her some time (and some Churu cat treats) to warm up to her new human friends, once you touch her, she has a lot of loving chirps and meows to give you.  She loves to be pet on her back, and you can then gently work up to petting her face.  (She can get startled if she sees hands approaching her face too quickly.) Once you have established a connection with this young lass, she has a loud and rumbling purr that can be heard blocks away!   The rain also holds a special fascination for her, and she cannot seem to get enough of watching outside the window when the rain is gently falling. This kitty also loves to play!  The cat dancer toy and anything with feathers is absolutely irresistible to her!  She is full of wonder and will provide you with hours of entertaining fun! If you want to meet Bullet, please apply at the link below.  This endearing, petite young lady will warm your heart and home!  Apply at online application (catsfff.org/adopt) View all of our adoptable cats here (catsfff.org/cats) Our adoption fees are listed here (catsfff.org/adoption-fees) ##1675507##

 Come visit me at the Petsmart at 4640 W Irving Park Rd, Chicago, IL 60641! Junior, the sweet, laidback, lovebug and lap kitty! Junior is a real social butterfly who craves human contact.  He can't get enough of petting or loving.  He loves his kitty siblings, too, especially his bonded brother, Sylvester.  Even though he seeks attention and being near humans and kitties, he can also play independently. He is an adorable ball of energy!   He especially loves laser pointers, wands and cat- nip toys, and in his downtime, he prefers cat t.v. and presenting his belly for some petting!  Junior can be in a quiet adults only household or one with older children.  He has not been exposed to dogs but loves(and needs to be adopted with) his bonded brother, Sylvester.     Double your kitty pleasure!  Double your fun!  Apply at online application (catsfff.org/adopt) View all of our adoptable cats here (catsfff.org/cats) Our adoption fees are listed here (catsfff.org/adoption-fees) ##1495348##
