Story
I received Fergie 5 years ago. A friend of a friend needed to rehome him due to the human being put into a nursing home. He has been a good boy to me for these past 5 years and it is with a heavy heart that I now have to rehome him and my other cats. He has lived with other cats with me. He has lived with children with me. I believe his previous owner had a dog as well, but not positive. Loud noises do scare him. Due to that he has been a little skiddish around loud young children. He has never attacked them though. He loves lasers and any wand toy. He also loves laying on his human when the house is completely quiet. It takes a lot to get him to purr but once he does, you know you really earned it. Even if he is not laying on you, he likes to be near you. He does eat wet and dry food. He will come will an automatic dry food feeder and an automatic litter box as well as some toys (if wanted). He will make any cat loving person very happy. I will miss him dearly.

Story
Freya is a very sweet, loving, and well-trained pet who has been an important part of our family. She is friendly, gentle, playful, and very affectionate with people. Freya has a calm temperament, adapts well to routines, and is easy to care for. She is also house-trained and behaves very well indoors. We truly love her, and this decision has been very difficult for us. The only reason we are looking for a new home is because our family is relocating to Texas, and the move and transition would be very hard on her. We are looking for a caring and responsible home where Freya will receive lots of love, attention, and care. She would do great with a family or individual who can give her time, affection, and a stable environment.

Story
Miel is a young female grey tabby about 1-2 years old as far as we can tell. She came to us after her and her young kitten at the time could not be taken care of her previous owner. Unfortunately, with 3 cats of our own and another foster cat we cannot keep her in our house. She is a very loving cat who does good with our other cats. She is a very quiet cat who does like to meow a lot but does love snuggles, especially when all the other cats join. We are looking for a loving person or family who will give Miel her forever home.

Story
I got Frank from the DuPage Animal Shelter. I noticed how energetic, affectionate, and playful he was. I never had an orange cat and he was so fun to play with. Frank is 3 years old. I think Frank will do well with another pet and people who can give him a lot of attention. I am not home often and Frank needs more attention and love than I can give him.

Story
Beauty DOB: 6/3/25 Beauty is a bonded pair with her brother Sterling — they must be adopted together, and the adoption fee covers both cats. This beautiful girl is so perfectly named. Beauty is currently living her best life in her foster home, and while she is a more reserved kitten who takes time to build trust, she is VERY sweet and special — and absolutely worth the wait. She loves hiding spots when she needs a little space, and perches up high on the cat tree to survey her kingdom and soak up a sunny spot. Bird watching is one of her favorite pastimes. Beauty loves roughhousing and chasing her brother Sterling, and the two of them together are pure joy to watch. She has a sweet morning routine — rubbing against her foster mom’s legs while she brushes her teeth, just to remind her that it’s wet food time. She enjoys laser pointers, scratching posts, bells, feathers, and cat wands. She may take a while to feel fully at home, but once she does, she will sneak into bed with you at night and make herself right at home beside you. One more thing that makes her extra special: Beauty doesn’t meow — she squeaks! She gets along with other cats and is looking for a patient, loving home alongside her brother Sterling.
