Story
Adopted Chotoo at a petsmart June 2024 at the age of 9 months . Fell in love with his big brown eyes. Though he was very sad in the beginning days as his sister had been adopted months prior. With lots of love and patience Chotoo came out his shell and showed us what a loving baby he is. Chotoo has big personality, as loving as he is he is pretty vocal when he wants to play or get head rubs. Loves to chase around his Older brother Squishy. For more relaxed fun, he enjoys watching birds and squirrels out the window. Usually pretty independent. Would love to find him a loving home where he can continue to live his best life

Story
Adopted squishy from animal shelter around 7 months of age in March 2023. Squishy loves to bird watch during the day and loves to snuggle and sleep next to you. Enjoys his daily naps under the sunlight. Amazing with other cats. Likes to play and run around the house with his brother Chotoo. Non dramatic and easy maintenance. Looking for new home where he can enjoy all these things and be comfortable . Over all where squishy can be loved more then he was loved by us.

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
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?

Meet Muffin – Queen of Curiosity and Cuddles! Muffin is a beautifully striped tabby girl with a BIG personality and even bigger love for play, naps, food, and attention! She’s the total package—sweet, spirited, and just a little bit sassy. This curious queen LOVES her jellyfish-on-a-stick toy, but truthfully, she’ll play with just about anything she can get her paws on. She and her sister Angel also enjoy epic zoomie sessions together—it’s quite the show! When it’s time to wind down, Muffin is all about cozy naptime on her favorite pillow or blanket. And while she enjoys snuggles and pets from her humans, she’d really prefer to have their full attention. This girl loves the spotlight and isn’t a fan of sharing her people with too many other cats. Muffin is highly food motivated (watch out—she might nudge her sister aside for a bite of something tasty! ). Her playful sass and determination just add to her charm. Her ideal home? A quiet one with loving adults or older, gentle children. She’s not aggressive, but she may hiss or pull away if overwhelmed—she just needs time, space, and a little patience. Muffin would do best paired with a calm, non-dominant kitty friend after a very slow and gentle introduction (and maybe a little treat bribery ). If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate, and curious companion to brighten your days and snuggle your nights, Muffin is the purrfect pick! Apply to meet Muffin today—your future best friend might just be a whisker away!

Story
Meet Mama Pixie, an adorably shy little brave girl who spent her early years as a stray. From kittenhood to adulthood, Mama Pixie learned to eke out an existence and survive in the harsh world into which she was born. Somewhere between the boundary of fear and need, Mama Pixie befriended a human who reached out to her with offerings of food and shelter. Having three kittens in tow, she was justifiably cautious at first, but she slowly began to overcome her fears and was able to accept the aid. Since entering foster care, Mama Pixie’s kittens have all been adopted and now it is time to find her the purfect loving forever home she deserves. Mama Pixie is currently living in a quiet home with adults, enjoying the comforts and company in her new indoor life. She’s a kitty that radiates a calm vibe and thrives in a serene environment. Being on the shyer side, an appropriate fit for Mama Pixie would be in a household that is on the quieter side with adults who are seasoned and patient in helping a timid cat requiring a little extra-special TLC, and a loving home where she can relax and be herself. She could do well with responsibly mature, supervised young adults who will be always mindful to be respectful of her boundaries. Let Mama Pixie grow and adapt at her own pace and you will find her to be a gentle cat willing to love and be loved. Slowly over time and with patience, Mama Pixie will come to accept your soft pets in moments of calm, once she gets to know you. Being careful not to make her feel trapped to where she has no escape is important to Mama Pixie, thus she is uncomfortable being held or picked up and is not for someone looking for a cat to cuddle. As a shy little girl, having other calm feline companions around has helped to boost Mama Pixie’s comfort. Mama Pixie is living with three friendly cats, male and female, although she clearly has shown a consistent partiality toward her male companions, grooming and laying next to them. She can be a solo cat in a home, but appreciates having another calm feline friend, her preference being a male. Mama Pixie will come to you at feeding time and show gratitude for the gifts you bring. She will share her joy while playing with her favorite toys. She revels in a warm sunbeam, lounging in a soft blanket, and delights in the activities of creatures visible through the window of her favorite spot.  Mama Pixie has a peaceful energy about her and thrives where quietness reigns over noise and chaos.  To share a life with Mama Pixie, be always mindful that her feeling safe is paramount to her happiness.  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.
