ADOPT A CAT

Kittens

We are small. We are many. We have absolutely no idea what we’re doing and we are THRIVING. We are currently available for adoption, which means one of you gets to take us home and watch us sprint full speed into a wall at 2am. A gift, really. Some of us like to cuddle. Some of us like to play. Some of us like to do both at the same time. You won’t know which one you’re getting until it’s too late and you’re already in love. We are growing at an alarming rate, so you should probably come see us soon before we become cats and have to act dignified. Come meet us. We’ll be the ones causing a really cute scene!

Ollie

You know those big forest cats in Scandinavia? Yeah, Ollie is not one of those. But he was found in a forest preserve, alone, scared, and matted. We think Ollie deserves a fresh start in a loving home, where he doesn’t have to have a single worry! Are you willing to give this poor baby his happily ever after?

Vintage

You know what the kids say – vintage is SO back! With our Vintage, you’ll never go out of style! This guy is super friendly, affectionate, and the unofficial greeter in our open cat room. While he may be a tad older, that hasn’t stopped him from climbing to the top of the cat tree or playing with the occasional wand toy. Come meet this handsome gentleman and add him to your life!

Pot Roast

Picture this: you had a long, dreary day at work and you come home to a nice, warm Pot Roast waiting for you… Pot Roast the cat, that is! He’s been curled up on your couch all warm and cozy waiting for you! This handsome guy is looking for a home to call his own. Could that be with you? Come meet this boy today!

Butterworth

Meet Butterworth! This young guy hasn’t showed us his full personality yet. His world flipped upside down and he arrived at the shelter not too long ago. We think he could benefit with a loving, patient family and another cat sibling to show him the ropes. If you are looking for the purrrrfect project, Butterworth is your guy!

Shandy

Yo ho, yo ho, her feet are soft as morning cloud, her attitude is fierce and loud. Oh a furry ship upon the sea, adopt her and set our Shandy free! Shandy is a senior girl with tales from years of yore. She may be spicy, but can be just as sweet once you give her space, time, and love. Adopt the fiercest friend you’ll ever make!

River

We don’t know much about River, but we have our theories. Some have the theory that she is an alien sent to alter the course of human history. Some believe she comes from royalty. Others think she’s just a scared, shut-down cat who needs a patient family to show her humans aren’t all that bad and teach her love prevails against everything. All equally plausible theories. Come meet her and develop your own theories!

Chia

Cha-cha-cha Chia! Her name is Chia, and she’s ready to be your pet! This sweet middle-aged lady was found roaming the streets of Evanston, but she clearly just wants a comfy couch, butler service, and a nice lap. Will you be the lucky human to give her that? Come meet her!

Wilson

Have you ever wanted a talkative cat? Well, this orange boy might just be your next obsession. He will tell you the tales of his trials and tribulations as an orange. By “trials and tribulations” we mean waiting for breakfast and dinner. If you want someone to talk to all day long, Wilson is your guy! Come break him out of here!

Eleanor & Rigby

Eleanor Rigby, picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been… Sorry. We had to. Eleanor and Rigby are a bonded pair. They nap together, eat together, and will absolutely sit across the room staring at you together until you figure out what they want. Two heads are better than one, especially when both heads want dinner. Come meet them and be swept away by their charm!

Aileen

She’s lean, she’s a queen, her name is Aileen! This lil lady bounces around our play rooms with unbridled spunk and pizzazz like you never did see! She loves her toys, loves her humans, and loves having a playmate. Our girl would do fantastic with another young cat who can help finally catch that pesky laser pointer. Come meet our sweet sweet Aileen! 

Vera

We know what you’re thinking. And yes, she knows she looks like that meme. Meet Vera: resting grumpy face champion and world-class skeptic. But here’s the thing, she’s not grumpy, just a little shut down. Shelters are loud and full of strangers, and Vera is a cat of discernment. What we suspect is waiting on the other side of that slow blink: a sweet, cuddly, food-motivated girl who just needed someone patient enough to find out. If you’re the kind of person who knows the best things in life are worth waiting for, Vera has been waiting for you too. She just won’t admit it yet.

Taylor

Calling all Swifties! Taylor is the last of the Swftie litter to find her forever and she is waiting for someone special. Like her namesake, she is elusive around the public and is often tucked in her penthouse apartment (errr, cat tree) away from the paparazzi. But also like Taylor Swift, she is a sensitive soul and opens up to her closest friends after she knows she can trust them. Her ideal family is willing to give her space and let her warm up on her terms. She currently lives with other cats, and we think that helps her with her stage fright. Be her Love Story – she’ll be waiting, all you’ll have to do is run…to adoption hours!

Thursday

We don’t know what day it is half the time, but every day is a day for Thursday! Thursday is a shy little wallflower who believes eye contact is a legally binding contract. He may prefer to observe from under the couch while you prove you’re trustworthy by quietly existing nearby and maybe offering snacks. At first, he may act like you are a large, unpredictable raccoon who has invaded his personal kingdom. But once he warms up? You’ll unlock premium content: tiny head bumps, slow blinks, and the occasional 3 a.m. sprint through your hallway for absolutely no reason. Thursday may gain some confidence with fellow calm felines siblings. Come on by and learn why Thursday just might be your new favorite day of the week!

Croque Madame

All moms are heroes, but Croque Madame may be the GMOAT (greatest mom of all time!). She gave birth to five kittens on a neighbor’s porch, was brought to the shelter to raise them safely, and then as fate would have it, took in five orphaned newborns as her own. She raised all 10 soups and sandwiches beautifully without missing a beat. Now that her babies are old enough to be adopted, Croque Madame is ready for her next chapter: being your furever companion. Sweet, silly, and endlessly loving, she’s the purrfect co-pilot for whatever comes next.

Chopurr

Buckle up, because Chopurr has entered the chat. This young guy came in hot and has not slowed down since. Toys? Destroyed. Zoomies? Constant. Vibes? Immaculate. Chopurr is the life of the party and he is looking for someone who can keep up…or at least cheer him on from the couch while he bounces off the walls. If you’re looking for a laid-back lap cat, Chopurr politely suggests you check out Donna or even Applebum. But if you want a fun-loving, chaos-embracing best friend who will make you laugh every single day… this is your guy!!!

Marmalade

The Cat Distribution System tried to deliver Marmalade through a second-floor apartment window. He made it in. The system, unfortunately, did not account for what happens next. Long story short, he’s here at the shelter the old-fashioned way, but we appreciate the audacity. Marmalade is an adventurer. Life is short, and he intends to live it fully, which brings us to something important: Marmalade is FIV+. FIV-positive cats live long, happy, normal lives; they just need to be the only cat in the home or live with other FIV+ cats. If you’ve got a spot on the couch, an adventurous spirit, Marmalade will find his way to you. Properly this time, through the front door.

Donald Duck

What’s the big idea? If you’re looking for the star of the show, look no further! Unlike his cartoon counterpart, this Donald Duck doesn’t have a short fuse. In fact, he’s the sweetest “sailor” to ever hit the high seas of the shelter. He’s outgoing, chatty, and ready to be your first mate for life. Every great captain has a few stories to tell, and Donald has a little extra “cargo” he carries with him: he is FIV+ (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus). This just means you’ll need to work with our adoption counselors to make sure your home is a great fit!

Enzo

Meet Enzo! This sweet boy is breaking our hearts! He came into our care after his owner passed away, and we can tell he is grieving. But despite his change in luck, Enzo is slowly opening up to us day by day. We aren’t sure if he’d be good with other cats yet, but we’d love to get this sweet guy out of the shelter and into a loving home soon. Will you be his second chance?

Shy

In foster

Meet Shy, the sweetest girl ever! She’s gentle, cuddly, and oh so beautiful. She has been recently diagnosed as diabetic, but that isn’t stopping her from living her best life. Shy needs a special kind of owner – someone who either has experience with diabetic cats or someone willing to learn! The shelter is no place for any animal, let alone this girl who needs medical attention (and lots of pets!). Our Adoptions Team will help you every step of the way. Swing by and meet Shy!

Blue

In foster

Blue is the kind of cat who takes her time deciding you’re her person, but once you’re in, you’re really in. Blue is a chatty princess velcro cat with opinions — she will happily meow just to say hi, ask for attention, or remind you that it’s been far too long since her last belly rub (her absolute favorite). She loves being near her people and soaking up affection once she feels safe. When playtime rolls around, strings and ropes are her toys of choice. She might hiss while playing, but don’t worry, that’s just Blue being extra and having big feelings about fun. Blue should be an only cat and is currently thriving in a foster home. She is available to meet by appointment in the comfort of her foster home once your application is submitted. Will you be Blue’s happily ever after?

Asti

In foster

Asti is a sassy, snack-loving senior queen ready to live out her Golden Girls years in comfort — think Blanche vibes with Sophia-level honesty. She loves lounging, the occasional toy chase, and letting you know when it’s cuddle time (or not). If you earn her trust, she might even sit on your arms mid-email. Asti needs a quiet, pet-free, kid-free home with 1–2 adults who get that love takes patience and space. She’s independent, affectionate on her terms, and full of personality.

Misty

In foster

Misty has strong opinions and makes them very clear. Once she’s confident that you’ll respect her boundaries, she’s affectionate in her own way. She enjoys being scratched around her ears and chin and petted on her head and shoulders. When she has had enough, she lets you know by raising her paw or growling. Her favorite activities are climbing, eating treats, watching wildlife out the window, and lounging with her person. She would like a home with an experienced cat person who follows her cues and no other cats or small children.
