Story
Hello! This sweet girl's name is Kiczi. She was a neighborhood cat for a few years until she became pregnant. Then she moved in with us in January 2026. She had 4 pretty kittens and they have all found their forever homes. Now its her turn! I would love to keep this sweet, loving, purr-fect girl, but I have two dogs and she is quite scared of dogs. We have gotten her spayed and up to date on all vaccinations. Please let us know if you are interested in this sweet girl!

Story
Oscar is an orange and white striped Tabby. This little guy was found and brought to our local animal care and control in early September 2024. His birthday is guesstimated to be around September 1st. He and his littermates: Ashley, Billy, Bob, Blue, Fox, Jeff, and Smoke joined our rescue on September 27, 2024. Oscar is currently living in a home with other cats and dogs. Oscar spends his day playing hide and seek. He is a quiet cat. He is litter box trained and not very needy. His favorite time of the day is meal-time. Adoption Process Caring Animal Rescue Inc believes that every animal deserves a good home, but we also believe that not every animal is right for every home. We take the time to learn about an animal's behavior and match it with the lifestyle of potential adopters. All applicants must submit an online adoption application. You must provide verifiable vet references, verifiable address match, and character references. If you list that you are the owner of a home, we will verify property records. If you list that you are a tenant, we will verify that pets are allowed on your lease agreement with your tenant. By applying to adopt, you are agreeing that we have permission to contact your vet, landlord, and character references. If you do not agree with our screening process, please do not apply. Applicants must agree to our screening processes before a meet and greet, and at-home visit is scheduled. All existing animals within the home must be up to date with vaccinations and spayed/ neutered. All kittens under 9 months old will be adopted in pairs unless there is an existing cat in the home. Completing our application does not guarantee that you will be matched with one of our animals. We are under no obligation to disclose our reason(s) for our decision. Please note: Our adoption fees will vary. Our Adoption Process: 1. Please apply here: https://www.caringanimalrescueinc.com/adoption-form We require applications to be completed in their entirety. Any application with questions not answered fully will not be considered complete and will not be processed. 2. Please note that we are volunteers. We do not have any paid staff. All applications are processed outside of our normal non-rescue jobs. An application does not guarantee approval of adoption. Our decision is based on what is the best fit for our dogs and cats. We will call your character references, landlord if applicable, as well as your vet and any other necessary calls needed to approve or deny an application. 3. Phone or email interview. We will notify you if your application is approved. 4. Meet and greet - we will only schedule meet and greets for those who have passed steps 1-3. We ask that you come to our facility for the initial meet and greet. If you have children, roommates, or other dogs, they must also be present. 5. Home visit/ Pet meet and greet - we want to make sure that all humans and pets are a good match! Due to the requirement of home visits, we are currently adopting only 25 miles or less of our location. The distance is at our discretion, as we must factor in gas and round-trip travel time. We are not currently adopting out-of-state. We have chosen a small radius near our facility to provide support to our adopted animals and their new families. Caring Animal Rescue Inc. does not have any paid staff. All monies, adoption fees, donations, etc., go directly to paying for the shelter and care of the animals in our rescue. If all goes well at the home visit, the pet can stay, and we will move on to step 6. 6. Adoption Finalization - sign the adoption contract and pay the adoption fee - we accept cash, checks, Venmo, or PayPal. Please note that there is an additional processing fee for PayPal and Venmo. What does your adoption fee cover? Dogs: Age-appropriate vaccinations such as Rabies ( must be 3-4 months of age determined by our vet), DA2PP, and Bordetella. Spay/ Neuter Heartworm Snap Test for dogs 6 months and older. Microchip Deworming Flea/Tick, HW meds, and antibiotics (if needed) while in our care. Cats Age-appropriate vaccinations such as Rabies ( must be 3-4 months of age, determined by our vet) and FVRCP vaccinations. Spay/ Neuter Microchip Deworming Flea/Tick and antibiotics ( if needed) while in our care.

Gigi is unbelievably cuddly and happiest when she's curled up in someone's arms or lap. She is fully vetted, gets along wonderfully with cats, dogs, and children, and is ready to become a cherished member of a loving family.

Story
Hi, I’m Gaia — a 6-year-old white and gray tabby with a gentle spirit, a soft heart, and a surprisingly playful side. My life hasn’t always been easy. I came in as a stray kitten through Skokie Animal Control and have been adopted and returned twice, never because of anything I did wrong, but because life threw some hard situations at the people who loved me. Through it all, I’ve stayed sweet, calm, and hopeful that my real forever home is still out there. Right now, I’m on a positive health journey. I’m working on losing weight and getting stronger, and I’m doing great with the extra TLC I’m receiving. I’m on a prescription diet to help prevent bladder stones, and with consistency and care, I’m feeling better every day. I can be a little shy at first and do best with calm, deliberate movements, sudden surprises aren’t really my thing. But once I trust you? Oh, I trust you. I love pets, brushing, being picked up, and yes… I am absolutely a lap cat. I’m also famous in my foster home for dramatically flopping over and rolling onto my back for belly rubs, sometimes directly in your path, just to make sure you don’t miss the opportunity. I’m playful and engaged, especially when it comes to wand toys, laser toys (the kind with fun shapes!), glitter balls, and anything involving catnip. Interactive play is my favorite, and I’ll happily chase, pounce, and then settle in close for some quiet companionship. I’m looking for a peaceful, loving home with someone patient and kind. A person who understands that a shy hello can turn into deep affection and a whole lot of belly rub requests. If you’re looking for a low-key, loving companion with a playful streak and a heart of gold, I’d really love to meet you. With love, Gaia 💛

Story
Hi. I’m Tony. I'm only two years old. Ruggedly handsome. Ears that tell a story. A heart that’s still learning how to trust again. Let’s get this out of the way: I’m not your instant best-friend, in-your-face, “love me!!!” kind of cat. I’m more of a slow-burn, “watch from across the room and decide if you’re cool” type. But once I decide you’re good people? I melt. Completely. I arrived at my current foster home back in early November, and I wouldn’t even sit near my foster mom. Now I climb onto the couch, curl up next to her, and fall asleep on her hand because it makes me feel safe. I even sit on her lap sometimes, but only because I chose it. (It’s all about the choices.) Sudden movements still spook me a bit, but I’m working on it. I want to trust, you can see it in the way I peek around corners, inch forward, and eventually flop next to you for chin rubs and those magical head scratches. Strangers? I’ll hide at first. But give me some time and a little quiet, and I’ll come out to say hello. I even let them give me pets, which is a big deal. For me, at least. Let’s talk likes and dislikes: ✔ Love: chin scratches, head pets, brushing, cozy naps, food, curling up right against my human ✖ Nope: being picked up, fast hands, loud chaos, and anyone expecting me to be brave on day one or even after week one. I’m a simple guy, feed me morning and night, give me a scratch pad, provide me with a space I can claim as my personal property, and I’m golden. I’ll even tell you when I’m hungry. (I’m polite, but not silent.) What I want most? A calm, gentle home with one or two humans who understand that trust takes time… and that a shy cat choosing you is one of the greatest compliments in the world. No small kids, no pets, just me and you learning each other at our own pace. I promise you this: once I feel safe, once I believe you’re mine, I’ll be the sweetest, softest, most endearing boy you’ve ever met. If you’re patient, I’ll give you my whole heart. Love, Tony

Story
Hi, I’m Kayla—a grey tuxedo girl with a soft coat and a big heart. I came here with another cat named Janie when our person had to make a really hard decision because of landlord issues. I *love* people. Seriously—if you sit down, I will find my way into your lap or right next to you. I’ll nudge your hand until you remember that I deserve pets (lots of them). Being close to someone makes me feel safe and happy. Oh! And if you have a laser toy… we’re going to be best friends immediately. I will chase that little red dot like it’s my life’s mission—zooming, pouncing, sliding… it’s kind of my specialty. I’ve lived with other cats and kids before, and I did really well—I’m pretty easygoing and happy to share my space. I may have had a big change in my life, but I haven’t lost my sweetness or my love for affection and play. I’m just waiting for someone to give me a cozy spot, some love, and maybe a laser pointer or two.
