Story
Figgy Fields is a very handsome, talkative, gentle and sweet, golden-eyed, one-year-old, nine-pound, male silver tabby cat looking for a loving guardian. This boy is a love sponge and a volunteer favorite. He rolls over on his back for belly rubs and purrs and purrs (and drools with joy). He is the quintessential lap cat. He will work the room jumping from lap to lap, gazing lovingly into your eyes. He is a playful dude who loves to play fetch. He will also snuggle next to you in bed all night. Figgy Fields had been stuck under the grate for days meowing for rescue. Luckily, besides being skinny (only six pounds at the time of his rescue), he is otherwise very healthy, now neutered, vaccinated for rabies and distemper, microchipped and virus-tested negative. He has been fecal-tested, dewormed and treated with Revolution as preventative. Figgy Fields has been very well-behaved in the home, and uses his litter box like a good boy. Unfortunately, he appears to be afraid of other cats and dogs, so he’s looking for a loving family all his own as the only pet. Luckily, he’s so great, he’s all you need! To meet and possibly adopt Figgy Fields, please fill out an adoption application https://friendsofpetraits.com/cat-adoption-application/ After the application is complete, please contact friendsofpetraits@gmail.com to schedule an appointment to meet him. His adoption fee of $175, benefits the Friends of Petraits Rescue. He is being fostered in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood.

Story
Oscar is an orange and white striped Tabby. This little guy was found and brought to our local animal care and control in early September 2024. His birthday is guesstimated to be around September 1st. He and his littermates: Ashley, Billy, Bob, Blue, Fox, Jeff, and Smoke joined our rescue on September 27, 2024. Oscar is currently living in a home with other cats and dogs. Oscar spends his day playing hide and seek. He is a quiet cat. He is litter box trained and not very needy. His favorite time of the day is meal-time. Adoption Process Caring Animal Rescue Inc believes that every animal deserves a good home, but we also believe that not every animal is right for every home. We take the time to learn about an animal's behavior and match it with the lifestyle of potential adopters. All applicants must submit an online adoption application. You must provide verifiable vet references, verifiable address match, and character references. If you list that you are the owner of a home, we will verify property records. If you list that you are a tenant, we will verify that pets are allowed on your lease agreement with your tenant. By applying to adopt, you are agreeing that we have permission to contact your vet, landlord, and character references. If you do not agree with our screening process, please do not apply. Applicants must agree to our screening processes before a meet and greet, and at-home visit is scheduled. All existing animals within the home must be up to date with vaccinations and spayed/ neutered. All kittens under 9 months old will be adopted in pairs unless there is an existing cat in the home. Completing our application does not guarantee that you will be matched with one of our animals. We are under no obligation to disclose our reason(s) for our decision. Please note: Our adoption fees will vary. Our Adoption Process: 1. Please apply here: https://www.caringanimalrescueinc.com/adoption-form We require applications to be completed in their entirety. Any application with questions not answered fully will not be considered complete and will not be processed. 2. Please note that we are volunteers. We do not have any paid staff. All applications are processed outside of our normal non-rescue jobs. An application does not guarantee approval of adoption. Our decision is based on what is the best fit for our dogs and cats. We will call your character references, landlord if applicable, as well as your vet and any other necessary calls needed to approve or deny an application. 3. Phone or email interview. We will notify you if your application is approved. 4. Meet and greet - we will only schedule meet and greets for those who have passed steps 1-3. We ask that you come to our facility for the initial meet and greet. If you have children, roommates, or other dogs, they must also be present. 5. Home visit/ Pet meet and greet - we want to make sure that all humans and pets are a good match! Due to the requirement of home visits, we are currently adopting only 25 miles or less of our location. The distance is at our discretion, as we must factor in gas and round-trip travel time. We are not currently adopting out-of-state. We have chosen a small radius near our facility to provide support to our adopted animals and their new families. Caring Animal Rescue Inc. does not have any paid staff. All monies, adoption fees, donations, etc., go directly to paying for the shelter and care of the animals in our rescue. If all goes well at the home visit, the pet can stay, and we will move on to step 6. 6. Adoption Finalization - sign the adoption contract and pay the adoption fee - we accept cash, checks, Venmo, or PayPal. Please note that there is an additional processing fee for PayPal and Venmo. What does your adoption fee cover? Dogs: Age-appropriate vaccinations such as Rabies ( must be 3-4 months of age determined by our vet), DA2PP, and Bordetella. Spay/ Neuter Heartworm Snap Test for dogs 6 months and older. Microchip Deworming Flea/Tick, HW meds, and antibiotics (if needed) while in our care. Cats Age-appropriate vaccinations such as Rabies ( must be 3-4 months of age, determined by our vet) and FVRCP vaccinations. Spay/ Neuter Microchip Deworming Flea/Tick and antibiotics ( if needed) while in our care.

Story
Anduin came to us in 2021 when he was roughly a year old. His playful nature, curiosity, and love for lap naps won us over quickly.  He is a very social cat who loves being part of the day! However, as our daughter has grown into a boisterous toddler, he has become very stressed. We want to find him a calmer home where he can feel safe again.Anduin is:• Social and vocal (loves greeting friends and family)• Playful and curious (enjoys bird watching and playtime)• Lap-loving and affectionate• Neutered, microchipped, and litter box trained• Managed for FLUTD (requires a prescription diet)Last summer we had our daughter. As she has become an active toddler, Anduin has made it clear that our home is now a stressful environment for him. We've worked with our vet to help him feel safe, but he truly needs a home without young children. We love him so much and hope to find someone who will appreciate his social personality!$50 rehoming fee includes remaining prescription food & favorite toys.

Story
Maggie is a 2-year-old cat (breed Short Hair Domestic), weighing about 2.3 lbs. She is an independent, gentle cat who takes time to build trust but shows steady progress once she feels safe and comfortable. Maggie has no known health issues and has been well cared for since coming into our home. She gets along well with other cats and would likely benefit from a calm environment with a consistent routine. Maggie originally took shelter in our garage, and we brought her indoors during the colder months in Fall 2025 to ensure her safety and comfort. Since then, she has adjusted to indoor living and continues to grow more at ease each day. Maggie would do best in a patient, quiet home where she can continue to settle in at her own pace. We are looking to rehome her as soon as possible, while making sure she finds the right long-term home.

Story
I found this little guy on my walk home. He had to have been only 3 weeks when I found him. He still needed to be bottle fed. So I did my best to help the little guy. He’s about 3 months now and is doing so much better. He’s gained a good amount of weight, loves attention, is very curious and LOVES TO PLAY! He does have a lot of energy because he’s still a little guy but he is so full of love. He loves to nibble on hands and fingers and loves toys. Unfortunately I cannot keep him because my dogs do not get along with cats. I just want him to be in a safe environment where he can freely roam around the house. I have had to keep him only in my room because my dogs would get to him. Please feel free to ask any questions 💕💕💕The picture of him when he was small was about 2 weeks after I found him.

Story
Meet Luna!Luna is the sweetest, most cuddly cat I have ever met. I took her and her kitten Pigeon in from a chaotic household to give the new momma some peace and quiet. She was a little shy at first, but warmed up super fast. She has turned out to be a very curious and sweet girl. I don't know how old she is, but she seems kind of small. I hope this kitty will steal your heart the way she did mine- feel free to reach out with any questions, comments, or to learn more about Luna's story!

Story
What's not to love about Valerie? From her black-and-white bandit mask, to her absolutely adorable seal impression, all the way to her introverted nature, she is a perfect cat. Valerie first came into the care of Paws and Claws in April of 2025, and has been looking for her forever home since then. When she first arrived at her foster home, Valerie was clearly scared -- she hid away from humans, and rebuked their attempts at kindness. Over the 487 days since her arrival, she has blossomed into a totally different cat. While she doesn't seek out cuddles, she does accept polite headscratches. Valerie isn't the type of cat to curl up into your lap, but she will sit on the back of the couch while you're watching TV, or lay at the foot of the bed as you read. If you're lucky, you may even wake up one morning and notice that she's curled up right next to you, happily snoozing away. She will greet you at the door when you come home, and let out demanding little meows when she wants her favorite snacks, peanut butter or cheese. Valerie has settled into the housecat life so well that she has favorite foods. She feels safe enough to ask her humans for them, too. Valerie's perfect person will need to be someone calm, who respects her need for independence. In return, she promises to keep you safe by monitoring the outside world through the windows, and letting you know when birds or squirrels pass by. Valerie won't be everyone's perfect cat, but she doesn't have to be. She just needs one person to see the perfect companion she already is -- one person to give this senior gal the chance she deserves. Valerie is 10 years old. She would do best in an adults-only home.

Story
Siena is a petite sweetheart with a gorgeous tri-colored soft coat, ready for pets! When she's happy and engaged, she adorably wags her tail like a dog. She's an interactive cat, who loves to express herself with happy little chirps. When you come home after being away, she greets you at the door and keeps up her end of the conversation, filling you in on what's been going on as you've been away with her meows. Siena is always up for toy-time and enjoys chasing games -- if you want to play with her, she'll never say no, but she can make her own fun chasing toys from one end of the room to the other. When you meet her, give her some scritches on her head and ears -- you'll get some very satisfied chirps! Siena is 6.5 years old.

Story
This gentle girl is Psyche, and she's looking for a peaceful home to settle into. She looooves to people watch, and can usually be found staring at you with her big, yellow eyes, perched on a windowsill or couch edge. Her favorite way to play is with a feather toy -- she gets the cutest zoomies! If you're looking to get on her good side, nothing entices Psyche more than a Churu treat. Psyche is 1 year old.
