This is Dixie she is a brown tabby. Loves to be around people. Such a good cat. She is very affectionate loves to follow you around the house and be in the same room as you. Loves to be pet and to sit in your lap. She gets along with my 3 yr old.. Gets along with our male cat. She’s a little skidish. She is pretty tiny about 10 pounds. She loves to play like a kitten. Loves pets and to flop on her back and show you her belly. Loves to play fetch. She has so much love to give. And my family just doesn’t give her the attention she deserves. She’s the best cat I’ve ever had.

Story
George has been with us since he was a kitty. He is sweet loving talkative and affectionate 4 year old boy. He has been raised in a house with other cats and a dog. He has gotten along with them all. However he has always been a bit nervous type and started having litter box issues. He was diagnosed with cystitis and started on antidepressants a year ago which has not stopped his not going in his box. We had the vet treat him recently for a UTI but he is still choosing to pee on furniture. I think he needs to be in a quieter home with less animals and with a cat person. George is so loved that this isnt easy but he deserves another chance in a different environment.

Story
Benny is an 11 year old handsome fella who is need of a new home! He's lived with his owner happily for the past 7 years but unfortunately she has to go into memory care and won't be able to bring Benny. We really want to make sure he goes to a good home. He's a low maintenance cat but expect him to have some trouble adjusting initially. He'd do best as the only cat in the home and we're not sure how he is with dogs.

Story
Hello there! My name is Slick. I’m a Christmas baby and really want to receive the gift of my FURever family before I turn 2 years old later this year.I’m a fully grown adult cat, but I only weigh a little over 6 pounds. What I don’t have in size, I make up for in personality. I am wary of people, but I am incredibly smart if you have the patience to learn my cues. Once you earn my trust, I will sleep on the bed with you and watch over you from across the room. When I am ready for attention, I will boop your hand with my nose to let you know. I don’t like my tummy being touched and I am not a fan of being picked up, but I do enjoy gentle pets. If you bring out a laser light, we can play for a long time together too. That little red dot is no match for me! If you aren’t in the mood to play, I am good at entertaining myself. I’ve been caught many times picking toy mice up in my mouth and tossing them in the air just so I can pounce on them. I like to lay in a sunny patch on the floor or curl up in a cozy cat bed. I also like to look out the window. I sure don’t miss being outdoors, especially now that it is getting cold!I would be most comfortable in a home where there is already an established cat. I am my best self when I have a feline friend who can help me adjust and be my play buddy. Young children scare me, so my ideal family would have no kids or middle school age or older kids.Almost Home`s Adoption Requirements:* Be at least 21 years of age* Have the knowledge and consent of all adults living in the household* Have written approval from owner of residence* Have a valid government-issued photo ID with current address* Be approved as a suitable adoptive home by Almost Home Foundation* Be ready to make a lifetime commitment* Live in the greater Chicagoland area (Illinois residents only)* Pass a veterinarian reference check for current and past petsIf you are interested in Slick, please complete an online adoption application at www.almosthomefoundation.org/adopt-a-cat/ or email cats@almosthomefoundation.org.*** Please note that Almost Home Foundation accepts only cash, checks, or Zelle for adoption fees; we do not accept debit or credit cards. ***

Story
Baby Doll, the renowned feline star, lived a life of luxury until her owner had to relocate to a distant retirement community. Fortunately, Almost Home stepped in to assist! Currently, Baby Doll is unwinding in a foster home, eagerly awaiting her ideal companion. This charming kitty loves cuddles, head rubs, and engaging playtime with her toys. She even responds with adorable meows during chats with her foster mom. Used to being the focal point, she feels uncertain about sharing her spotlight with other pets. Therefore, Baby Doll is searching for a forever home where she can be the sole furry family member. This mature cat flourishes with a balanced routine that includes both playtime and naps. While she appreciates company, she prefers to sit beside her human rather than on laps or being tightly hugged.Almost Home`s Adoption Requirements:Be at least 21 years of ageHave the knowledge and consent of all adults living in the householdHave approval from owner of residence (written in lease)Have a valid ID with current addressBe approved as a suitable adoptive home by Almost Home FoundationBe ready to make a lifetime commitmentLive in the suburbs surrounding Chicago (Illinois Residents only)Pass a veterinarian reference check for current and past pets.Adoption payment cash, check or Zelle onlyIf you are interested in Baby Doll, please email cats@almosthomefoundation.org or complete an online adoption application at www.almosthomefoundation.org/adopt-a-cat.
