Here are just some of the amazing cats we have available. Stop in during adoption hours to see them and more!
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!
Age: Under 1 year
Energy level: High!!! We are kittens!!!
Good with: Anyone you need us to be good with!!!
Drizzle & Smog

I doubt you’ve ever seen two beautiful ladies as gorgeous as these! Drizzle and Smog are a young bonded pair of torties, just different varieties. Drizzle has luscious long fur, and Smog is a beautiful dilute short hair. The best of both worlds, some may say! These gals have existed wonderfully amongst other cats. Though young, both of these gals are quite relaxed and laid back. When given a minute, their playful side surely comes out! Let Drizzle and Smog roll into your life and you will not be disappointed!

Sweet, gentle, and affectionate, she enjoys spending her days lounging in cozy spots, soaking up attention, and accepting all the pets you’re willing to give! Little Debbie has a calm, easygoing personality and would love a home where she can relax and be someone’s favorite cuddle buddy. She’s happily lived with another cat, and would be great with kids!

Age: ~2 years old
Energy level: Medium – she loves to play but also loves to snuggle
Good with: Kids and likely cats & dogs with the right introduction
Ganache


Ganache had 6 babies, and now that they are weaned, she is ready to find a home of her own! She is a bit selective with other cats, but that’s mostly because she is over the whole mothering thing. She is such a silly void, and we think you will absolutely adore her. Come in during adoption hours and fall in love!
Age: ~1.5 years old
Energy level: High – she is a youngin’!
Good with: Kids! Dogs and cats with the right introductions
Typhoon

Typhoon does not quite live up to his name – he is a sweet boy who despite his past has the best demeanor! He comes from a hoarding situation in Cook County where he was found living with many other cats. His eye is a chronic condition likely from that environment, but it is currently not problematic. This chatty boy will tell you all his thoughts! Come meet this conversationalist and bring him home for endless discussions on the state of treats and pets!
Age: 8 years old
Energy level: Medium – he’s an older gent
Good with: Likely dogs and cats with the right introduction
Sleet

Sleet came from a hoarding situation in Cook County and is understandably a little upset at his circumstance. We are still learning about him as he decompresses, but we can tell he is a cat who just wants to be loved! He is looking for a home that will give him patience, love, and let him open up on his own timeline.
Age: 8 years old
Energy level: Low, he’s pretty shut down
Good with: Likely other cats and dogs with a proper introduction
Cyclone

Cyclone is a very friendly boy from a hoarding situation in Cook County. He can be a little shy, but enjoys head pets. He is very chatty and would love to sit next to you on the couch, lurk in your shadows, and be your best friend for life! Come give this adorable guy his second chance!
Age: 8 years old
Energy level: Low-medium, he’s an older guy
Good with: Likely other cats and dogs with a proper introduction
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!
Age: ~1 year old
Energy level: Low, he’s pretty shut down
Good with: Selective about cats, older respectful kids
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!
Age: ~7 years old
Energy level: Medium, she is active but also loves a snuggle
Good with: Kids (probably)
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!
Age: ~1 year old
Energy level: Medium, she is playful and snuggly!
Good with: Cats, kids (probably)
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!
Age: ~6 years
Energy level: Low, he’s pretty shut down here
Good with: Other chill cats, cat-savvy kiddos
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.
Age: ~2 years old
Energy level: Medium, now that motherhood is behind her she’s ready to play!
Good with: Kids (probably)
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!
Age: ~2 years old
Energy level: Medium – this guy is young and ready to play!
Good with: Older cat-savvy kids, potentially other FIV+ cats
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?
Age: ~10 years old
Energy level: Low, he’s older and he’s grieving
Good with: People and maybe other cats
Foster
In foster



This sweet, sensitive gentleman loves company. Despite the heartbreak of being surrendered by his owner, Foster hasn’t lost the joy of sharing the quiet moments of life with people. When coaxed to play, he’ll show the goofiness of a cat half his age, but with the seasoned calm to enjoy just sitting with you for hours. For the right cat-savvy listener, Foster is a good communicator when he needs space. He is doing well in his foster home, but is very ready to make a long-term connection again.
Age: ~9 years old
Energy level: Medium, lots of chill time but when it’s time to play, it’s time to play!
Good with: Cat-savvy adults & older kids, potentially other cats
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. Email us to meet Shy!
Age: ~9 years old
Energy level: Medium-low, she’s an older lady but still likes to play!
Good with: Selective with other cats, and loves all people!
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?
Age: ~6 years old
Energy level: Medium, she’s playful but also loves a snuggle
Good with: Cat-savvy people!
River
In foster



River came in very shut down, unsure of us, and unhappy at the shelter. But for the past couple of weeks, she has become a brand new cat in foster! We have learned that River is part diva, part goofball, and fully convinced that the middle of your bed (right on top of your pillow) belongs to her. Underneath the sass, River is remarkably easygoing. New sounds, schedules, people, even a robot vacuum patrolling the house has yet to faze her. She’s got that classic young cat energy: sassy, playful, and always up for a game. The one thing she asks for in return: let her come to you. Cuddles and pick-ups happen on her terms!
Age: ~1 year old
Energy level: Medium, she’s playful!
Good with: Cat-savvy older kids
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.
Age: ~12 years old
Energy level: Low, she’s a chill older lady!
Good with: Adults only
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.
Age: ~10 years old
Energy level: Low, she’s an older chill lady!
Good with: People who respect her boundaries
