Story
Hi, my name is Po, and I am 1 years old. Thank you for reading my rescue story. Pull up a chair and I'll tell you my short story.I was born on someone's porch and the nice family took care of me, my siblings and Mama until we were big enough to be separated from our mom.I went into a foster home where I learned to live with other cats and Humans. Boy, my foster Humans take good care of me. They know how to make me happy - kitty treats!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. 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 hope when we meet you give me the chance to get to know you as I might seem shy at first. I like to be petted, have my pretty coat brushed and of course, don't forget those treats!I like to lounge in a window seat, snuggle with my sibling or even with my foster familys cats. You might see inmy pictures I am quite photogenic, and my sister is with me in some of them. You might see some of my pictures with my sister Thumper. I love my sister and of course, the other kitties that live here in my foster home. There's times we just have a big kitty pile and groom each other. When you come over to my foster home and you will see me & Thumper being BFS - best furry sisters. Maybe you would think of adopting us both but if not, that's ok too. I just hope I have another kitty friend in my new home to help me with my transistion.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 Gaia, and I am about 11 months old. Can I tell you my story? It's a short story because I'm a young gal but my foster Mom says my story is going to continue because I have a family out there waiting for me.I was found as a stray, and I had a HUGE belly. I had babies in my belly, and they were ready to meet the world. Can you believe a young gal like me having babies? I was only 5-6 months old. Just a baby myself. But just because my belly was big - I wasn't. See, I must of been on my own for quiet awhile. I was really skinny. My whole body was bones except my belly.When I got settled in my foster home and sure enough, out came my 7 babies. I had no idea what I was doing and was so grateful my Rescuers helped me. My kittens were very small and sadly, some didn't make it. My Rescuers knew I was struggling to be a Mama and so they took over.I then got to be a young kitty girl; not a Mama and you know what? I love it! I love being able to have some take care of me and I get to roam around the house. In my foster home I have other cats and dogs I get to play with.I love to hang out in a cat tree or look out a window. But my favorite spot is where my foster Mom is. I love it when she's on the computer and I lie by her. She gives me an occasional belly rub. But watch out! I like to sit on the keyboard. Maybe I'm sending a message to you?I also love to enjoy your food. Maybe it's because I was SO emaciated (minus the big baby belly) I love food. I like to share the mealtime with my foster Mom. She knows I love chicken but might seem silly, but I also love butter. Butter on toast or bagel - kitty de-li-cious!I can't wait for my family to come meet me. I love to be held and if you have kitty treats - I'm hooked! Remember chicken is my favorite.Let's have a play date so we can start our friendship!Thanks,GaiaGaia is in our foster home in Aurora. To meet this Lovebug, please complete our adoption application at: https://treasuredanimalrescueinc.org/application-cat-adoption/Gaia is fully vetted. Her spay, vaccines, feline antigen test (neg) and microchip have all been completed.Thank you for choosing to adopt!

Story
Hi there! My name is Goldie and I am about a year old. I'm a pretty orange/buff kitty and I'm on the small side. I would call myself dainty but I am full of personality!Do you see my pictures? I'm lounging around in a Human's bed. That's my foster Mom's bed. I'm so lucky to have a foster Mom to make me so comfy because see, a bit ago I wasn't so comfy! A few months ago somoene put me in a box along with my minutes old kitties and left on someone's doorstep. That person reached out to Treasured Animal Rescue. It was Hollywood's Oscar night - that's where I got my name.I was a good Mama to my 4 babies and they have all found their new homes. Now it's my turn. While I wait for my family to come meet me I hang out with the other cats on a bed or kitty tree. Sometimes I even will cuddle up with one of the dogs. He doesn't mind me cuddling with him. I like to play or chase the other cats. Do you have area rugs? If so, that's one of my favorite things to play with - I like to run & slide onto the rugs. Silly, huh?My days of being a Mama are all over. I'm on the small side so I'm still young at heart and just a baby myself when I had babies. It's Goldie's turn for a family. A family that will take good care of me and love me forever. I will make you really happy when I try to get you to play with me or when I head butt you for attention.xoxo,GoldieGoldie is in our foster home in Aurora. To meet this sweet gal, please complete our adoption application at: https://treasuredanimalrescueinc.org/application-cat-adoption/Goldie is fully vetted.

Story
Hello, my name is Stasia and I'm about a year old. I'm a pretty grey tabby but some silvery highlights. My photos don't show my prettiness. I'm actually camera shy. I always wonder why my foster Mom takes so many pictures of us kitties. So, to see my prettiness I guess you're going to have to meet me.My owners gave me up because I somehow became pregnant. I had an "oops" litter and landlord said no more cats, so the Owner brought me to Joliet AC along with 2 other females that also had "oops" litters. Treasured Animal Rescue saw the pleas from Joliet AC. The hard workers at Joliet knew having babies in a shelter is not ideal. I am so lucky I had my babies in a foster home.I was a good Mama even though I was young. I'm a Teenager! I shouldn't be having babies. I should be playing and doing all the fun things kitties do. Thankfully, my kittens are grown (they are also waiting for their forever homes) and I get to be a Teenager again.I love to play chase with the other cats. My silly trick is I run around and then slide under a rug so they can't find me. I then jump out and I'm the Chaser. If nobody wants to play with me that's ok, I then find a little ball or even better - when a dog drops their kibble, I play with that. It goes under my favorite rug and there I am again hiding and then jumping out.I like laundry day. I like when my foster Mom is in between in folding towels. Towels straight from the dryer is my nap place.Quiet time, I'm hanging out in a cat tree or a bed with other fur-babies. I'm good with dogs too. There are some dogs here that bark at me. I know they just want to play. I get high up so they can't catch me, but I meow at them.I like the days when the doors & windows are open, and I can feel the fresh air. I never want to go outside but I like to look out the door or window. I like looking out the front door and watch the birds or squirrels eat. I stand on my 2 back legs like a dog does and checkout what they are doing. Maybe when I look out the front door, I'm looking for my forever family to come meet me.Are you my forever Mom or Dad? I hope so and I hope we can meet soon!xoxo,Stasia,Stasia is in our foster home in Aurora. To meet this Sweetie, please complete our adoption application at: https://treasuredanimalrescueinc.org/application-cat-adoption/Stasia is fully vetted.

Story
Bug and Meadow are an inseparable duo, bringing double the love and double the fun! These two sweethearts are not just companions, but best friends, and they’re looking for a loving home where they can stay together. Bug is a handsome, larger cat around 3 years old, full of energy and affection. He’s not just about playtime (though he does love chasing after toys and showing off his jumps); he’s also a big snuggler. He adores being held, and he’ll happily settle into the crook of your arm while you watch TV. He’s a smart boy too, knowing a few tricks like sitting on command and guessing which hand holds the treat. These besties come with all the accessories they need, including a litter box, scratching post, fluffy bed, play tunnel, and plenty of toys to keep them happy. We’re hoping to find a home where Bug and Meadow can continue their journey together. They’ve found comfort and joy in each other, and we’re sure they’ll bring the same to you!

Story
Link is a very sweet and affectionate boy who is looking for a loving home where he can thrive. Once he warms up to you, he is a loyal and gentle companion who loves to be near his humans. However, Link does have some medical and dietary needs that require attention, which are largely managed when he is in a calm and stable environment. Unfortunately, with the recent arrival of our daughter, Link's anxiety has been heightened, making it more challenging for him to stay healthy and relaxed. We have found a good balance in managing his health issues, but Link would be much happier in a quieter home where he isn't subjected to the hustle and bustle of toddler life. If you're looking for a devoted and loving cat and have a peaceful home where he can feel safe, Link could be the perfect addition to your family. He deserves a calm, understanding owner who will be attentive to his needs and give him the stable environment he requires.

Story
I'm a big, solid boy who is very chill and loving. I'm not very playful and prefer to just hang out and binge-watch shows with you. I'll even let you hold the remote, as long as you're brushing me with the other hand. That is one of my favorite things. I'm a little shy at first but will soon warm up, especially if coaxed with a Churu treat. Please provide plenty of nose bops and kisses, neck and chin rubs - and don't forget to rub my ear pits - that's a spot I can't get to very well on my own. When our shows are over, I'll spend a little time looking out the window from my cat tower, then off to bed to do it again! Please grant me my dream life with you.
