Hi! My name is Hidey. I am around 3 years old. I'm visiting Saint Sophia's waiting to find my forever home. I am kind of nervous and when I first got here I hid to make sure I was safe and that's where my name came from. I am a really sweet, laid back gal once you get to know me.There's just a lot of people that help at the shelter, which is still kind of scary for me, because I would really prefer to be in a home with a handful of people that I see all the time and know I can trust. I was born with a cleft lip so I have a goofy smile. I do have egc it is not really a big deal I might just need a round of steroids every once in a while but will live a normal happy life.  Take me home today so we can be best friends :)  Hidey is spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated, treated for parasites, and combo-tested negative for FIV/Leuk.  Her adoption fee is $125. For more information, please call or text 847-773-7639 or email info.stsff@gmail.com.

Story
Hi! My name is Phoebe. I am around 2 years old.  When I started my journey at St. Sophia's, I came in with my 6 babies after being found under someone's deck.  I had a bad reaction to my initial vaccine, twisted my back, herniated a disc and I was paralyzed waist down for roughly 6 months.  I had to undergo acupuncture, chiropractic adjustments, steroid therapy and much more to learn to walk again.  I can move around now like nothing ever happened, and can often be seen perching up high -- I'll even run on the cat wheel at the shelter! I really love my cat friends but I’m unsure about humans at first (I’m sure you can relate) it does take me a little while to warm up but once I know, I can trust you I know that we can be best friends. I really do want attention its just shelter are so scary. I would love a home of my own to settle into so I can come out of my shell and get all the love I deserve. I do extremely well with other pets. I would be fine with older kids who know how to respect a kitty's space. Come meet me today! Phoebe is spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated, treated for parasites, and combo-tested negative for FIV/Leuk.  Her adoption fee is $125. For more information, please call or text 847-773-7639 or email info.stsff@gmail.com.

Hi I’m Reba. I’m a quiet and friendly gal. I’m 9 years old and love to have my chin scratched. Sadly I was adopted 3 years ago and found my way back to St. Sophia's when my people moved out of state and had no room for me. I was understandably depressed and scared losing my home, but have since come out of my shell and shown my fun, loving side.I like to play with cat nip toys and can’t wait to find my true forever family to relax and cuddle in my golden years. I love to snuggle and chin scratches are just the best. I love fuzzy blankets and will constantly purr while making “buiskitts”  I am fine with kids, I would acclimate to another kitty with a slow introduction but would be fine as a solo as well. No dogs please. Come meet me today!  Reba is spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated, treated for parasites, and combo-tested negative for FIV/Leuk.  Her adoption fee is $75. For more information, please call or text 847-773-7639 or email info.stsff@gmail.com. ##642584##

Story
Meet Peppo! He is around a year old. Peppo is definitely a special little guy. He is high energy and would do best with a cat savvy person. He absolutely loves to play so he will need to be adopted by someone who has the energy to keep up with him! Peppo came to St. Sophia's after we got a call stating that their neighbor had kicked out his cat with a bad eye infection and he was desperately trying to get back into his home and the neighbor's home. Poor little guy was terrified. A kind volunteer went over and snatched him up and he went right away to a foster home. His eye has been treated but since the infection had gone so long without treatment there is permanent scarring. He has minor vision loss but can still see and get around just fine! Despite what Peppo has been through he is still very loving.  Due to Peppo being high energy he would do best in a home with no little kids. He is hit or miss wiith other cats but a proper introduction with another high energy cat might benefit them both. Peppo would be fine as a solo as well. He has not met a dog in our care. Come meet him today! Peppo is neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, treated for parasites, and combo-tested negative for FIV/Leuk.  His adoption fee is $125. For more information, please call or text 847-773-7639 or email info.stsff@gmail.com.

Story
I took cat from my daughter, as she was moving with her son out of a rental condo. She needed to get out of the unit was sold and her ex boyfriend was looking for her. In order to allow her to get out and into a safer place, I took the cat and have now held it for two years. My daughter still can not find a place that will allow pets. I am now retired and would really like to move on with my life. I hope someone could give him a good home with others, maybe a mellow cat and/or good people.

Meet Cam &Turbo. They are a bonded pair and 9.5 years old. They are in great health, are active & love to play with toys & each other. Are fully (front/back) declawed by previous owners, and do not destroy furniture. They will curl up in your lap for a nap & enjoy being brushed. They don't enjoy loud noises & Turbo can be a little skittish around fast movements. They both have sweet/easy going temperaments! Turbo has the silliest meows & tends to meow when he yawns! Cam loves cuddles (&food)! During warmer weather, they enjoy sitting in windows to bird watch & sun bathe! We do believe that they would do better with a family who has older children, or a middle-aged/older person or couple, since they prefer a quieter life. These sweet boys have so much love to give, & deserve so much love in return. ALL OF THEIR ITEMS ARE INCLUDED (carriers, automatic feeders/bowls, beds, toys)- For Free. We just want to see them happy in a loving home.
