Story
We are looking to rehome Tom and Jerry as a bonded pair as they are brothers from the same farm. Jerry is such a sweet guy! He is super easy going and chill. He goes with the flow! He’ll spend a lot of the day resting in quiet area like a window perch, and then come out during certain times to say hi and give lots of hugs! He can also be highly energetic and sometimes has zoomies at sun up and sun down. He loves flying teaser toys and will flip and do lots of acrobatics.  He tends not to sit on your lap because he prefers a little space, so the rare times he gets on your lap is all the sweeter! He seems happy to be indoors all the time and doesn't try to go outside. If guests come over, he may choose to greet them, but not always. Car rides to the vet and loud noises such as thunder scare him, but with his brother Tom he relaxes. He loves fishy flavored foods.

Story
Six years ago we adopted three loving, beautiful baby kitties from shelters in Michigan. We started out in a house where the kitties had access to the outdoors, and no children in the household.  However, we had our first child a year and a half ago.  We have tried everything to make it work, but the cats have not been able to adjust to life with a toddler in our apartment.Martha would do the best separating from the boys if needed, her and Tom are both territorial in nature. We are looking to rehome Tom and Jerry as a bonded pair as they are brothers from the same farm. Martha is a lap cat. She loves to sit on our laps and has a special affinity for females. She will connect with them almost instantly. She loves sitting on a perch or cat tree to watch the outdoors. She loves to be pet and loves attention. She is a very sweet girl.

Story
We have brothers here that we call Pickles and Chips. They have quite the personalities- goofy, energetic, they love to play together and cuddle. They love to act like our golden retriever and follow you everywhere. They are great at bedtime routine and will be ready to cuddle when you lay down and thankfully don't keep you up all night running around meowing :) They are brothers and have been together since coming to my home. I rescued them from another home until I could find a permanent place for them. However, I will be fostering a baby soon who is allergic and will need them gone sooner than anticipated. I would love to keep them together but am willing to separate if needed. There is no rehoming fee, I would just love for them to go to a loving home.

Story
Sterling DOB: 6/3/25 Sterling is a bonded pair with his sister Beauty — they must be adopted together, and the adoption fee covers both cats. To add some class to your house, Sterling is your guy. With the softest fur and a gorgeous coat pattern, this handsome charmer is absolutely stunning in person. He may come across as shy at first, but it doesn’t take long for him to warm up — and once he does, he is social, affectionate, and loves human, canine, and fellow feline interaction. Just one look and this guy starts purring! Sterling loves belly rubs and is never shy about letting you know he likes you. He purrs constantly when being pet and can’t wait to find the perfect lap to curl up on. He likes to snuggle at night and spends his days enjoying his cat tree, bird watching from the window, and batting at laser pointers, cat wands, bells, feathers, and empty boxes. One of his very favorite things? Playing with and chasing his sister Beauty. The two of them are like Yin and Yang — inseparable and endlessly entertaining together. Sterling gets along well with dogs and other cats. He is looking for a home that will give both him and Beauty the love and patience they deserve.

Story
Finding myself pregnant outside was no fun but a compassionate person took me in and I was able to have my kittens inside. I am not too happy around cats, maybe because I’ve been on my own, fending for myself. I am starting to warm up to people but what I really love is when they play with me. I am still not always quite sure what all the toys are for but little by little, I’m discovering that they are fun.

Story
John (~DOB 9/2020, male, black DSH) John was a kitten found in Waukegan behind a nursing home with his siblings. They were being fed a diet that mostly consisted of French fries. They were caught at about 3 months old and took a bit of time to warm up to humans while they also started getting healthier. John and his sister Chrissy were won over with a lot of chicken baby food. John took a little longer than his sister Chrissy to socialize to humans, but now he is doing absolutely wonderful in his foster home. He can even be picked up and held for short periods of time. He is fairly vocal, especially at meal times, and can get a bit sassy then as well. He sometimes nips his foster mom’s leg in passing, but never hard. He has learned to like to be petted on his head and back, even all the way down his tail. But pet him for too long or try to get his belly and he will swat you (claws retracted) like “what do you think you’re doing?!” He sometimes grabs at legs as they pass by, but this seems to be more playful energy. He is also becoming a morning bathroom buddy! He enjoys chasing balls in tracks and cat dancers. He likes climbing cat towers, sleeping on the back of couches, and staring out windows. He sometimes comes when he is called and fingers are rubbed together. He enjoys the company of other cats, and we encourage an adopter who has cats in their home to ease his transition. We do not think he would be good in a loud home or one with young children or dogs. His transition will likely take time, but a good way to earn his trust is with food, especially chicken baby food!

Story
Daisy (about 9 years old as of March, 2025) is a female black and white shorthaired cat. Daisy was born to a feral mother cat who had literally been dumping her kittens at one of our caretakers' house for years. They finally caught her but she was about to give birth, so these lucky kittens have been inside their whole lives. Daisy is a very vocal kitty who likes to meow about things as she goes through her day and will sometimes call out to figure out where people are if she wanders off alone expecting someone to call back to her or come find her. That sounds awfully needy but she is actually the most independent kitty from her litter. She is sweet and affectionate but doesn't want to cuddle until she is done playing and doesn't feel the need to be on top of someone smothering them every time she gets a few pets. That said, when she is in full cuddle mode she loves serious, firm pets so strong they pull the skin around her eyes back and exaggerate her already naturally silly long skinny face. She is very energetic and alert which can make her seem jumpy or skittish, but it's really just her goofy, playful nature showing. She does well with older kids and mostly gets along okay with most of the other cats in her foster home, but has had conflicts with a few of them and mostly keeps to herself so she might prefer living with only the one cat she always gets along with- her sister Primrose. We're hoping we can find a family willing to take them both, as the last time we tried to separate them they both were miserable. She hasn't ever lived with a dog and with her more sensitive nature and at her age she would probably be overwhelmed
