Story

Frankie has a resilience and zeal for life that will capture your heart. She is so much more than her origin story but to understand where she is today, we have to acknowledge how far she has come. Frankie was shot with a pellet gun and some of the pellet fragments were lodged into her spine. Despite great efforts and surgery, Frankie remains semi-paralyzed in her back legs. This does not slow Frankie down in the least! Wind up a toy and watch Frankie go go go! She zips around with the zoomies like any cat, and chases toys and shadows like a pro. Frankie likes to join her foster Mom on the couch or climb up into her cat tree. Frankie adores being a big/little foster sister to animals of all kinds and would do well in an active home. Nothing stops this adventurer! Except maybe bedtime with her person, she loves to share the bed or couch. Caring for Frankie requires some experience with cats, or at least the willingness to learn! She will need to continue her low-level physical therapy routine which consists of relaxing and adorable leg massages. Frankie can't totally control when she goes to the bathroom due to her paralysis. To help with this, her bladder is expressed three times a day. Her future adopter will need to commit to properly caring for Frankie's needs while understanding they may change in the future. Frankie eats out of a slow feeder to help keep her weight at a healthy level, that we would also be happy to provide. Prior to adoption, all cats are spayed/neutered, tested for FIV/FELV, vaccinated and microchipped. This cat is currently in a foster home. To meet the cat, please fill out an adoption application so that we'll have your contact information, and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Affectionate Precious is ready for her forever home! Once she gets to know you, Precious appreciates having the choice to follow you room to room, sit next to you, or make biscuits on your lap. She loves being brushed and petted, eagerly accepts belly rubs, and she often chats with people, especially around mealtimes. She'll tap you very gently on the elbow if she'd like some head scratches. Content to curl up with you for most of the day if you work from home, she also loves making cameos on Zoom calls. She gets the zoomies for a few minutes in the evening and will have some fun chasing a wand toy. Precious prefers not to be held for long periods or restrained (aka hugged). She's very affectionate and will give you all the love you will ever need if you allow her to do so on her own terms. You’ll never feel lonely again with Precious by your side! Precious has a condition called stomatitis, which is an auto-immune condition that causes chronic mouth and gum inflammation in cats. Despite the best medical care possible, our vets tell us that Precious is not cured. We want her to live out her life surrounded by love, for however long that might be. We will help her adopter to learn the signs that indicate she's uncomfortable. This cat is in a foster home. Please fill out our online adoption application if interested in giving this sweet cat a home. www.thedancingcat.org/adopt September 18, 2024, 12:39 am

Story

She is a sweet cat for a patient family. She will come to you and ask for attention when she becomes curious, after you have gained her trust. Spice may need many weeks to come out of her shell, feel comfortable in a new environment, and show her more affectionate and trusting side. For this reason, a low to moderate noise level in Spice's new home would be best for her. She may be too scared of big dogs or young children, but small dogs and cats make fun companions for her. She loves to play with string toys like yarn, shoelaces, and rope! Spice is also a beautiful cat. Her color and pattern look like a snow leopard's or a snow lynx 's coat. She has bright yellow eyes that look at you so very deeply. Spice is being cared for by a member of the community.

Story

Olive was adopted from a shelter in Chicago, where I used to live. She was an adult already. She has been taken to the vet and is very healthy, she is THE MOST loving cat, she loves affection, she loves to be held, she is such a sweet girl. However she isn’t fully house trained, specifically she urinates on things she’s not supposed to, like clothes left on the floor, cloth mats, and in the bathtub. She goes number 2 in her litter box. I’m looking for someone who has somewhere they can facilitate the urinating issue and give her the love and affection she deserves and needs.

Story

Bagheera is extremely friendly. I found him a few months ago near our apartment and since then I have been feeding him and taking care of him. He is a neutered male with awesome personality. He is playful and spicy. He is very good with other cats and dogs. All he needs is a loving family. I cannot take him in because I am already having 3 cats of my own and I live in a small space. I am okay to not charge an adoption fee as long as he is going to a loving home .
