Story
Angel is a sweet cat, she is very affectionate and loves to be pet. Her favorite things are laser pointers, high places, and seeing new places. She was abandoned by her first owner that had her for 5 years. Her current owner took her in without any knowledge of her needs and Angel is not a good fit with their other cat. She does best in quiet and calm homes. She just needs someone who will support her and have time to spend.

Story
Hello, I'm Franchesca. I'm young, friendly, independent, gentle, curious, mellow, and loyal. I have a magical tale to share. One day I found myself at a rural animal control when my owner couldn't handle my uniqueness. Luckily I was swooped up by St. Sophia's Forgotten Felines and found myself in a shelter environment.  While this was unexpected, I've learned to embrace this new adventure. I should be your only cat, not because I'm selfish, but because I want all your love for myself. My bi-colored eyes are the windows to my soul. Adopt me and let's create our own magical story together. Franchesca is spayed, microchipped and has age-appropriate vaccines.  She is combo-tested negative for FIV/Leuk and treated for all parasites.  Her adoption fee is $125. For more information call or text 847-773-7639, or email at info.stsff@gmail.com ##2099392##
