Story
Hi, my name is Po, and I am 8 months old. My Mama was a Panda kitty and I look a lot like her. You can see how I got my name. I am one of five kittens from Pandas litter that was growing up in a Chicago familys backyard.We had a really nice enclosure that kept us warm and safe from Chicagos weather. The family took great care of us when they realize our Mama had babies. They provided us fresh food, litterboxes and the warmest spot to sleep away from the outdoor elements. They even reached out to a rescue so that foster family stepped in to care for us in their home.I am a short haired kitty girl with a grey tail, and I have some grey spots on my head. I look like my mom and I think I got my Mamas bravery. She had to be brave to be on her own with her babies coming any day. Im the bravest because as soon as I came into my foster home, I'm a friendly kitty and I like when people come over as I get to know them. I might seem shy at first, but I will sneak my way onto your lap.I like to lounge in a window seat, snuggle with my sibling or even with my foster familys cats. You might see some of my pictures with my sister Thumper. Who says sisters don't get along? Come on over to my foster home and you will see me & Thumper being BFFs. We hope that when we meet our forever family we get to stay together or maybe my forever home another kitty for me to snuggle with.My foster family has been so wonderful in taking care of me and my siblings. My other siblings have all found homes and now it's my turn. I haven't been around young kids or dogs. I might do ok if they don't scare me. If I get scared I might hide and run.Hope to meet you!PoPo is located in our foster home in Hanover Park. To meet Po please complete an adoption application. https://treasuredanimalrescueinc.org/application-cat-adoption/Thank you for choosing to adopt!  Please visit our website www.treasuredanimalrescueinc.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.

Story
Hello, my name is Dottie and I am 6 years young. Thank you for looking at my profile.I was living in a home that I thought was going to be my forever home. Sadly, life makes changes for Humans, and they had to move. I couldn't go with them, so they came to Treasured Animal Rescue. I was very sad when I went from my old home to my foster home. I didn't know what happened. Did I do something wrong? I'm a kitty I don't know what's going on, but my foster family love me so much that I know they are going to take care of me. They are just being patient with me.I have a very pretty coat that looks like a brown tabby with a hint of Tortishell. I love being held and my favorite spot is a lap. I'm not too sure about the dogs in the house. My old home it was very quiet and now in my foster home it's quite noisy. I can't blame the foster family because they are trying to help other doggies & kitties that need homes. I sure wish some days there was a mute button for the dogs.I hope to have a family again. Someone who will love me and even if life makes changes they include me in their change. I promise I don't ask for much. A kitty tree, yummy food and that comfy lap. Easy peasy, right?Can't wait to meet you.DottieDottie is located in our foster home in Aurora.To meet Dottie, please complete our adoption application at: https://treasuredanimalrescueinc.org/application-cat-adoption/Sorry, Treasured Animal Rescue does not adopt out of the State of IllinoisThank you for choosing to adopt!

Story
Hi there, my name is Speckles and I'm a 1-year-old pretty Tortie. You know some Tortie's have this stigma of "tortitude"? Well not me. I'm a very quiet, lovable girl that just wants to be held.I was found in a shelter and the Warden thought I was pregnant. He saw my "round belly" and concluded there's babies. Thankfully, there were no babies, but I just had some extra love handles. How dare he announce to the world I got a round belly. You know us girls can get miffed by that weight comment.Treasured Animal Rescue waited to see (just in case) any babies grew in my round belly and thankfully, I just like food. I went to the vet, and she took good care of me and said "Speckles, you are healthy and going to have a happy life".I love looking out the window at what's going outside. I never want to be outdoors again. I like laying in the sun and feeling the warmth. I give my foster Mom head butts to say pet me and she abides. I like it when she lounges on the couch because I get to hang out with her.There are other cats here and I am ok with them. Dogs, well they sure are loud so when my foster Mom has me on her lap all the dogs are outside so I don't get spooked.I hope one day I have a family of my own that will let me be their lap kitty and I can give you all the head butts you want. Maybe one day I might show you my Tortie attitude but for now I'm just a sweet, quiet girl that wants to be loved.Can you love me?xoxo,SpecklesSpeckles is located in our foster home in Aurora.To meet this sweetie, please complete our adoption application at: https://treasuredanimalrescueinc.org/application-cat-adoption/Sorry, Treasured Animal Rescue does not adopt out of the State of IllinoisThank you for choosing to adopt!

Story
Hello, my name is Dahlia, and I am 9 years young. I'm a pretty Tortie but you know how Tortie's have the "tortitude" attitude? Not me. Who needs all that fuss? I'm a quiet girl that chooses to just hang out either on your lap or cat tree.I lived with my Human my whole life. Since I was a wee kitten. During the time I had my Human and she had me. I was her faithful companion until one day family came and took my friend to another place to live. They call it an assisted living facility and kitties weren't allowed.The family couldn't take me with them, so they brought me to a shelter in TN. Treasured Animal Rescue saw my sad picture and said, "bring her to us - we'll make her happy."I'm slowly coming out of the "what happened?" phase and making myself comfortable. As I mentioned, I'm a quiet girl and prefer a quiet home. There are other cats here and some dogs. I don't mind the dogs, but they sure do bark a lot! There's even some Teenagers. I don't know who's louder - a Teenager or a barking dog. Ha ha.I hope one day I can be a faithful companion to a new family. Someone who can have me on their lap and brush me. They will say how pretty I am. I wish I could answer back to say thank you for the kind words but when I purr really loud, you'll know I'm your gal forever.Can't wait until we meet!xoxo,DahliaDahlia is in our foster home in Aurora.

Hello, my name is Godiva, and I am about a year old. I am a gorgeous black kitty. I have shiny black fur and gorgeous eyes.I had 4 pretty babies, and they are also looking for their forever homes. Have you seen them? We call them my little chocolates. Do you have a sweet tooth? If so, then you'll want to meet me because I'm the sweetest kitty girl in the world!I'm a very confident gal that loves to lounge around but I get nosy, and I have to check things out. I like to climb up on high things. Sometimes, my foster Mom finds me on top of the refrigerator. She asks me how did I get up there? It's a secret but I get a better view being so high up.I love when people come to visit the other foster kitties and dogs. I rub my body on their legs for attention. You can probably say I love attention. I like it when my foster Mom is on the computer because that's one of my favorite spots.My days of being a Mama are over and my foster Mom says it's Godiva's time. My time for someone to take care of me and love me forever & ever. I was a good Mama and raised silly kitties but it's now my turn to be silly and loved.Can you love me and let me be silly?Can't wait for us to meet!GodivaGodiva is in our foster home in Aurora.

Story
Hi there, my name is Ava, and I am 5 months old. I'm a pretty orange tabby that is ready for her forever home. It's hard to tell by my pictures but there's some things that are different about me.See, when I was found months ago, I was a tiny little kitten, and I had an injured toe & tail. The nice people at the shelter took good care of me. But sadly, the kitty vet said I had to have them amputated. But that's ok! Don't worry I can play and move around just like any other kitten. I think it makes me more unique.The nice people took great care of me and when it was time for me to find my forever family that asked Treasured Animal Rescue to help. See, a rescue gives a kitty more time to find the right family and gives the shelter that valuable space they need to help other kitties. I'm so lucky that the shelter and TAR are helping me. I call them my Angels.I'm a quiet girl and love to be held. When you hold me, I give out loud purrs. I like other cats and I'm learning to get used to dogs. I love the Teenagers in my foster home because they give me ear rubs and tell me how pretty I am.I hope one day I have my own family to love me and take good care of me. I never want to be outside where I have to be on my own. I rather be on your lap.If you are looking for a lap kitty, then I am your gal!Let's meet!xoxo,AvaAva is in our foster home in Aurora.

Story
Miranda and her siblings came to us from Aurora AC. They were born on 5/13/21. Miranda is shy but seems to be coming out of her shell and interacting with people she knows. She loves to play with wand toys! In a quiet home with a patient family with cat experience and feral experience, she would probably blossom. She seems to do well with other cats. A home with older children would be best.

Story
Carrie came to us from Aurora AC. She was born on 5/13/21. She can be in a home with adults only, or older teenage children. Carrie and her siblings are shy. This litter came to the shelter as semi-feral, so they will need an experienced cat owner willing to go slow to socialize them to touch. Whoever adopts her must understand that this will require patience and continuous training. Carrie does well with her siblings. She loves to play with wand toys and seems to be the more confident cat in the litter.

Story
Rossi is around 6 years old. She came to us from Dupage County Animal Control. Rossi lived with an active, young child previously and was very nervous. She would do best with older children that are calmer. She is a friendly cat that likes to be pet, but is happy to take some time to herself in her cubby. She would probably do best as the only pet in the household.

Story
Did you know that the name "Daisy" means new beginnings?  And if you take me home, we'll both have a new beginning of a lifelong friendship. I'm a solid girl with a golden tabby glow. I'm super-nosy - EVERYTHING is my business. So, while I snoop around, I'll do some "drive bys" to make sure you're still here. When I'm finally done looking, I like to hang with you and get brushed and I'll flop over for belly rubs. In addition to my work as a snoopy detective, I also like to play - especially with the laser light. DANG, I am FAST. I like catnip but please small doses and monitor me if kids are around - I get a tad overexcited. But I do calm down quickly. Let's start our new beginning TODAY!

Tipsey is around 7 years old. She just entered her senior years and is doing it with plenty of sass and good looks! She enjoys being pet, until she doesn't. Then she'll give you a nice little tap on your hand to say "I'm done". Tipsey has an adorable crinkly ear that adds to her character. She'll meow gently for her food or for your attention, but it's never an excessive amount. She provides lots of laughs and will be a great companion for someone!
