Once she gets to know you, she enjoys gentle pets. Acorn would prefer other cats that are mellow and gentle. She was also good with the small, older dogs at her foster home. Acorn is not litter-box trained.

Can you say absolutely gorgeous? Because if you can, you must be talking about Vega! This girl is stop you in your tracks pretty - and we're not going to lie - she definitely knows it. Vega was found on the streets of Chicago and after searching for an owner with no luck, her finders reached out to rescues looking for someone to help - and we couldn't say no to this adorable face. We soon found out that Vega had a surprise for us - this beauty was pregnant and soon gave birth to four adorable kittens. Now that her babies are all grown up, it's time for her to find her forever home. Vega would prefer a quieter home where her true personality can shine through. She absolutely wants to be your permanent lap warmer but finds a lot of hustle and bustle to be a little bit overwhelming at times. She lives in a foster home with other cats and dogs and while she tolerates the situation, she definitely seems to prefer when things are more relaxed and quiet. A laid back Saturday night on the couch with popcorn and a movie? Count Vega in, that is absolutely her vibe. The more comfortable this girl becomes, the more this sweetie becomes a total lap cat. She absolutely bonds with her people and we would definitely classify her as a lap cat with her people. Now, don't forget, Vega is a tortie- so she does have that tortitude side and will give you her opinion if she feels like she has to - but only if you're taking her spot on the couch - which is her favorite spot in the house. If you're looking for a girl that is beauty, brains and destined to be your best companion, Vega is definitely your girl. Ready to bask in this girl's glory?

Regina (Ginny) is a 1-year-old cat with a bold, energetic, and highly driven personality. She was adopted as a kitten and has grown into a confident, curious cat who loves to hunt, chase, and stay active. Ginny’s favorite things are prey-style toys, catching bugs, and anything that lets her use her natural instincts. She is extremely food-motivated and very vocal, and she does best with clear routines and structure. She would thrive with an experienced cat owner who understands high-energy, high-drive cats and can provide plenty of mental stimulation and enrichment. Ginny is not a laid-back or independent personality she is alert, determined, and always looking for something to do. We believe she would be happiest with someone who enjoys an interactive, spirited companion and can appreciate her unique temperament. Ginny is bold, energetic, instinct-driven, talkative, determined, and intelligent.

Meet Reggie: Professional Snack Enthusiast, Couch Connoisseur, Big Soft Boy Reggie is a very handsome domestic long-haired gentleman with a grey body, snowy white feet, and a white chest and face that make him look permanently dressed for a fancy dinner. Weighing in at nearly 16 pounds, he’s basically a grey Garfield—minus the lasagna, plus the charm. Reggie had a rough start to life and was found outside, so the whole “living indoors with people” thing is still kind of blowing his mind. He knows he likes humans (especially the ones with food), and he is obsessed with ear scratches. Seriously—ear scratches are his love language. That said, sometimes he gets a little overstimulated because everything is still new, so he’ll do best with people who can read his signals and give him space when he needs it. Did we mention food? Because Reggie LOVES food. Feeding time is his time to shine, and he will happily announce it to the entire household with his impressive vocal talents. He's a chatty boy, especially when it's time for dinner! We estimate Reggie is about 2 years old, so he's a young guy ready to live out many years with his future owners. What we don’t know about his past, we do know about his future: it includes a warm couch, full food bowls, and being snuggled up next to his people like he’s always meant to be there. Reggie is ready for the good life—and honestly, the good life is ready for Reggie.
