Story
Our poor 2 year old female, Honey has been through a lot. We rescued her from a house with 30-40 cats of all different ages fending for themselves, with 2 litter boxes and only a few bowls of water and food. We found her as this calm little baby, but we knew her calm was because she was giving up. We brought her immediately to our vet and nursed her back to full health. She was separated from our 2 male cats for the month, because of ear mites and other problems that we’d addressed with vet. After that month the three cats mended and bonded so well, and she was the missing link to our family we didn’t know we needed. Then our son was born, and the trauma of her past came back, as we introduced an unpredictable small human (she’d never met kids) into the home. At first, she seemed well. After 6 months, we realize his presence brought out her past. Skittish, hides for days, won’t come out to eat. Will pee where she’s hiding, from fear of coming out. We’ve tried everything, help :( <\3

Story
Zeus was found outdoors by a friend of mine that wasn't able to keep him so I took him in. Sadly from his vet visits they're assumption is that he was a house cat that became an outdoor cat. Zeus can very playful and a very independent companion. He's also perfectly happy to be laying down snuggled up with you in his eyesight. He's also a fan of toys and playtime and can become very active. He is a HUGE fan of the floor mat scratching pads. With the right set up Zeus can become a fun and loyal companion.

Story
Lotsa Meows has lotsa love to share! He’s a handsome brown tabby boy with a unique mix of swirls and stripes, and a stunningly handsome face. He is friendly and loves to play and make new friends. He runs to see his foster parents when they come home from work, and likes to enjoy the company of the household. He is 100% pure joy, and will love and adore you every minute of the day. When it’s time to sleep, Lotsa likes to snuggle up with his foster mom and snore (yes, he snores!) softly and peacefully. Lotsa enjoys a good meal and is not picky about food. He likes to chase little mouse toys and bat at the string on a wand toy. Lotsa also loves his little sister, Lollie, and together they chase and wrestle, and then settle in for a nap. They have a favorite napping spot on a blue chair, and he is a good big brother who sleeps on the outside, protecting her while she snoozes. She hides behind him when they have visited the vet, and he takes good care of his little sister. They would like to find a home together! They both enjoyed making friends with the resident cats in their foster home, and were loving, playful and affectionate from the beginning. They both learned how to use the One Fast Cat Wheel, and the Litter Robot in their foster home. They are smart cookies, and will be a delightful addition to a lucky family! All cats & kittens are up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, dewormed, fixed, and FeLV/FIV tested. Adoption fee is a minimum $110 per kitten donation to Feral Fixers. Discounted adoption fee if two kittens are adopted together, $175 for a pair. A brief screening questionnaire and contract apply!

Story
Tiger is a sweet, affectionate, and cuddly indoor cat who loves being around people. Once he’s comfortable, his playful and energetic personality shines! He enjoys feather wands, toy balls, catnip mice, and especially chasing the laser light. Scratching posts are a must-have for this active boy. Tiger spends his mornings following his favorite humans, playing, and soaking up sunny naps, then revs back up in the evenings for more playtime. He loves interactive play before dinner and settles in for the night around midnight. He is an exclusively indoor cat and is sensitive to loud or sudden noises, so he does best in a calm home. Tiger needs slow, patient introductions to other cats but does well once adjusted. He loves kids and adults and has been comfortable around dogs. He does not enjoy harnesses, carriers, or vet visits. Tiger is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and has no special dietary needs. He’s a loving, playful companion looking for a patient, caring home.

Story
Meet Charlotte – A Strong, Resilient Beauty Ready for Her Forever Home! Charlotte is a brave and beautiful torbie cat with striking yellow-green eyes and a heart full of quiet love. Torbie cats have both tortie coloring and tabby patterns, which makes them extra unique! This sweet young kitty has spent the last few months being an amazing and devoted mama to her kittens, but now it’s her turn to find a home where she can finally relax, be spoiled, and enjoy life to the fullest! Charlotte is a true survivor—she spent years navigating the tough streets of Chicago, relying on her sharp instincts to stay safe. Because of her past, she may take a little time to warm up to new people, but once she trusts you, you’ll get to see her sweet and gentle side. She enjoys being near her people, accepting pets on her own terms, and simply soaking in the comfort of a safe home. She may not be a lap cat, but she expresses love in her own quiet way. She gets along well with other cats and small dogs, making her a great fit for a multi-pet household. This independent girl loves her alone time, but she also enjoys simple pleasures like lounging by the window to sunbathe, watching fish swim in an aquarium, or curling up in a cozy cardboard box. She occasionally likes to play and will bat around small toys, but mostly she likes to just relax…and we think she’s earned it! Charlotte is looking for a patient and understanding home that will give her the space and time she needs to blossom at her own pace. If you appreciate the quiet, independent love of a cat who has seen the world and is now ready to settle down in a loving home, Charlotte might just be the perfect feline companion for you. Can you give her the loving forever home she craves?

Story
All Purrs, All Day — Lasagna Is Ready for Love! With her sleek black fur and mesmerizing eyes, Lasagna looks like a tiny panther, but don’t let that fool you! Beneath that elegant exterior is a friendly, affectionate kitten who adores attention. With just one gentle pet on her head, her purr motor starts up, and she’s ready for cuddles. Sometimes she’ll climb into your lap or perch on your shoulder for a little “massage,” making biscuits and snuggling into your neck like she’s giving you a hug. Lasagna’s playful side shines just as brightly. Her inner panther comes alive during toy spring chases, nightly zoomie tournaments with her sister Macaroni, and those sudden, joyful bursts of pouncing that kittens do best. She’s especially devoted to her sister and best friend, Macaroni. These two are perfectly matched in energy and personality; watching them play together is pure entertainment. We strongly recommend they be adopted as a pair. If that’s not possible, Lasagna will need another playful, active young cat in her future home to keep up with her kitten energy and curiosity. Lasagna doesn’t mind a lively household as long as she has a cozy spot for nap time. A tall cat tree would be her dream perch! She’s comfortable around other cats, cat-friendly dogs, and teens. She’d do best in a home with adults or older kids who can read her play cues. Lasagna’s still learning the difference between toes and toys, but she’s making excellent progress! If you’re looking for a friendly, hilarious, and endlessly entertaining kitten who will fill your home with love (and purrs), Lasagna just might be your purrfect match. WE DO NOT HAVE A PHYSICAL LOCATION AS WE ARE A FOSTER-BASED ORGANIZATION.  PLEASE SUBMIT AN APPLICATION TO BE IMMEDIATELY CONNECTED TO A SCREENER.
