Not good with kids, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

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

Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Name: Lane Breed: Domestic Shorthair Gender: Female Estimated DOB: 11/1/2024 Lane is a sweet and gentle girl with a friendly personality and a calm, thoughtful presence. She may be a little reserved at first in a new environment, but with patience and reassurance, she becomes affectionate and enjoys being close to her people. Lane would do best in a home that understands the importance of giving her time to adjust and settle in at her own pace. She thrives in a peaceful, supportive environment and appreciates consistent routines and gentle attention. Because Lane has not been around young children, we recommend a home with children age 10 and older. If there are dogs in the home, introductions would need to be slow and intentional to help Lane feel safe and comfortable. Lane is part of a group of five cats rescued together, all named after Gilmore Girls characters. Much like her namesake, Lane has a loyal heart and a quietly creative spirit—she’s the kind of companion who feels like a constant presence in your life, always nearby, always steady. She would thrive in a home where cozy routines, shared space, and gentle companionship are truly appreciated. If you’re interested in Lane, fill out an application on our website https://www.tailsoftheforgottenpaws.org/ or find us on FB/IG and reach out with questions!

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

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

Raya's story in her own words! My name is Raya, and I may be a bit shy at first, but I have a heart of gold waiting to find my forever home. I'm still learning to trust humans and while I prefer to keep my distance, I don't mind a gentle pet now and then. My favorite things in the world are Churu treats and playing with wand toys — I'm a skilled toy hunter if I do say so myself! My superpower is patience; I rarely get flustered even when my energetic daughter Chiquita is causing chaos around me. I'm a calm presence in the midst of all the action. One of my foster's favorite memories of me is how I would stand up to receive a Churu treat, thinking I was being sneaky by not fully exposing myself from behind the sink. I've been living with my daughter Chiquita, and while I'm not sure if we're truly bonded, we do get along well and make good companions. Right now, I prefer a quiet household where I can continue to build my confidence at my own pace. I'm not quite ready for children or other animals in the home, but who knows what the future holds for me? If you're looking for a patient feline friend who enjoys quiet moments and the thrill of the hunt, I just might be the perfect match for you. Let's take things slow and see if we can build a trusting friendship together. Come meet me today and let's see if we're meant to be family!

Rainbow Dash

Domestic Shorthair

Male, 3 yrs 9 mos

Palatine, IL

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Good with kids, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Rainbow Dash! He is a handsome boy with big, sweet eyes and an extra long tail! Rainbow Dash has made so many strides in the short time he's been with his foster. While this guy was understandably frightened and confused being abandoned outside a Petsmart, he very quickly started to decompress in his new foster home and show his sweet, loving personality. He now purrs and rubs his face all over his humans, stretching his long back legs and hanging out on his favorite pillow! He has also shown his fun, playful side, rolling around on the floor with a catnap kicker toy and jumping up to chase a wand toy! He's a very powerful jumper! He'll even sometimes stand up on his hind legs on his foster mom's lap and do head bops!!! While this boy enjoys pets and scratches, he prefers them on his head or chin as he gets easily stimulated with too much petting all over his body. He will certainly need some time, patience and trust to feel comfortable in a new home, but when he does, he'll be a wonderful furry companion! Because Rainbow Dash seems sensitive to loud noises or sudden movements, he would do best in a quiet, low key, adults-only environment. He loves people, but wants attention and loving on his own terms. He would likely do best with a feline friend - or two! - that he can play and wrestle with to get out his energy. In his foster home, he has done great being a foster dad to kittens. Despite the size difference, he is great at finding the middle group of gently play wrestling with kittens! He may need a cat savvy adopter, but he is certainly a cat savvy cat.
