Story
Rascal is a sweet, almost 9-year-old cat (summer baby) who came from a rescued litter found in a local park. He’s been an amazing family pet and this decision is incredibly difficult for us. Rascal is very laid-back, enjoys being pet, and will snuggle on his terms. He plays occasionally but mostly loves a calm, cozy environment. After a move with my son, Rascal experienced stress that led to a bladder issue, which was treated by a vet. He is currently healthy and up to date on care. Recently, he has started occasionally pooping outside the litter box, which we believe is stress-related. Rascal is not a fan of dogs (at least not our high energy dog), and we feel he would do best in a quiet home as the only pet. We’re hoping to find him a stable environment where he can feel comfortable and thrive. He truly is a wonderful cat and deserves the right home.

Story
My name is Tobias and was born on a farm in northern Illinois. My human mom adopted me as a 12 week old and I’ve been living the quiet life ever since. I played often with the grandchildren, but now they are grown and flown. I enjoy lounging in the sun and exploring the outdoors after twilight. My “mom” is moving to assisted living and I’m not able to join her. I prefer to be your only pet, as I have never had other animal friends. I’m easy to please & promise to behave. I am a gentleman after all.

Story
Tilly Breed: Domestic Short Hair / Grey Tabby Gender: Female Date of Birth: August 3, 2025 Tilly is a soft grey beauty with a heart full of curiosity and an endless supply of sweet. This charming little tabby takes in the world with wide, wondering eyes — every sound, every shadow, every rustling paper bag a brand new mystery worth investigating. She approaches life with a gentle boldness that is absolutely irresistible, and she has a way of making you feel like the most fascinating thing she’s ever encountered. Don’t let that curious streak fool you — underneath all that exploration is a truly tender girl who loves nothing more than settling in close once she’s taken stock of her surroundings. Tilly is the kind of cat who will pad softly into your lap at the end of the day and remind you that the world is actually pretty wonderful. She’s affectionate without being overwhelming, adventurous without being aloof — just the right balance of independent spirit and devoted companion. Tilly is ready to turn someone’s house into her personal kingdom — every windowsill her observatory, every sunny patch her throne, and every quiet evening yours to share together. She deserves a home that will nurture her curiosity and cherish her sweetness in equal measure. To apply to adopt Tilly, fill out an application on our website at www.tailsoftheforgottenpaws.org. And don’t forget to follow us on Facebook and Instagram to stay up to date on Tilly and all of our other animals looking for their forever homes!
