My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

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 love to be adopted with my sister Josephine since we have been best friends since birth. If we can’t be adopted together, though, 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.

Our adoption shows are every Saturday from 11-2 at PetsMart stores in Schaumburg (1440 E Golf Rd) and Bloomingdale (162 S Gary Avenue) and Petco in Bloomingdale (412 W Army Trail Rd). We make every effort to have each one of our available animals at a show each weekend. The schedule can be found on our web site www.almosthomefoundation.org under Adopt and is updated the Friday evening prior to the Saturday show.

More about this rescue

We are in need of Foster Homes for our homeless animals!!! Can you help?

What is a Foster Home?
A foster home takes in one of our homeless animals rather than boarding them at the kennel and cares for it until we find a permanent loving home. Almost Home Foundation pays for the all animal's food and medical expenses. The foster home learns the animal's temperament and behaviors. The foster home learns if they get along with other animals. The foster home provides insights on the animals that helps Almost Home Foundation look for the right home for the animal.

Please help!! Just fill out this form and we will contact you or call 630-582-3738 and leave a message letting us know that you are interested in fostering!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are an all-volunteer, registered, not-for-profit 501c3 animal rescue group. Our mission is to save adoptable dogs and cats from being destroyed by finding permanent, loving homes. For details, visit us online at www.almosthomefoundation.org.

Almost Home Foundation is always looking for volunteers to handle dogs at adoption shows, set up adoption shows, write for the newsletter, photograph events, or foster animals. For a list of opportunities, visit online at www.volunteermatch.org
or www.almosthomefoundation.org.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are a Rescue not a Shelter. This simply means we do not own a building where we house animals. We look for loving foster homes that will give temporary care and love on the animal’s journey to a permanent, loving home. When a foster home is not available, we will board the animal at a boarding kennel.

Our 5-year goal is to have a shelter. This is an aggressive goal that will take many donations and memberships. We will strive for this goal with a great team of volunteers and help from people like you! Please become a member, become a sponsor or make a donation.

Our animals are found strayed and brought in from the police. After being held for 7 days, we evaluate the temperament of the animal and determine if the animal is suitable to be a pet. On rare occasion, we will also rescue animals that are in desperate situations where the rescue makes the difference between life and death. We do not accept Owner Give-ups.
