My story

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

Jo March is part of our Little Women family. Along with Marmee, Meg, Beth and Amy, this tight knit family will warm your heart, and your lap! In defiance of her name, Jo is actually a bit of a laid back kitten, at least as much as is possible. Like all kittens, she is curious and active, but of her litter, she is the most quiet. She's an observer who will perch next to you and watch her sisters fly around catching teaser toys.

Jo and her family are all up for adoption, and will be adopted out in pairs. The vast majority of cats thrive with the company of another cat, and kittens need this companionship. Jo can be paired with her mom, Marmee. We have discovered that she is extremely attached to her mom, so we would like to find them a home together.

If you live in Chicago, and would like to meet, and possibly adopt Jo, email us at: info@chicagocatrescue.org

Their adoption process

1.

Interview

We generally begin by having a phone conversation with prospective adopters, to find out what you're looking for and to get to know you.

2.

Meet the Pet

Meeting our cats in their foster homes and talking with their foster parents is ideal to determine who will be a good fit for your home.

3.

Submit Application

Once you've found the cats of your dreams, we'll provide you with our adoption application and contract.

4.

Approve Application

We ask for a couple of business days to approve applications, and to help you ready your home for your new furry family members.

5.

Take the Pet Home

Actually, we deliver our cats to their new homes! That gives our adopters the opportunity to ask last minute questions.

Additional adoption info

Why adopt from a foster based organization? Every animal is unique, and because our cats and kittens are cared for in private homes, we feel we truly get to know what makes each of our cats so special. We rely on our foster families to educate us about the personalities and temperaments of the cats in their care. Is their foster cat outgoing or chill? High energy or more sedentary? In need of a feline companion, or happier to be the queen of the castle? We learn so much about our cats, and we are able to share all that information with you! Armed with this knowledge, we feel we are uniquely able to help you find your furry soul mates!

Sadly, there is a limited amount of information that can be learned about animals living in cages. When you visit our cats and kittens in their loving foster homes, you'll be privy to a wealth of information, that can only be acquired through the experience of living with a furry companion. Our foster parents are truly the "experts" on our cats and kittens!

Our adoption process: In order to find the best homes for the cats and kittens in our care, and the best matches for you and your family, CCR offers a thorough adoption process. We are dedicated to the ideal of a "forever home" for each of our cats, and we endeavor to make that ideal a reality. "Same day adoptions" don't give anyone time to prepare for a 15-20 year commitment! Our process is designed to help you find felines who are well suited to your home and life style, and to arm you with the information you will need to both welcome your new pets into your home, and to care for them., By carefully laying this groundwork, we help ensure that our cats do, indeed, find their "forever homes".


Step 1. Call or email us, to learn more about the CCR cats and kittens who have peaked your curiosity! Of course, we'll have questions for you too! Our conversations enable us to get to know you, and to help us understand the qualities and traits that are important to you, as you seek your new furry family members.

CCR's minimum adoption age is 25, although we occasionally make exceptions for individuals in their earlier twenties, who are working full time.

Step 2. We'll put you in touch with our foster parents, so that you can make arrangements directly with them, to meet their foster kitties. All of CCR's foster homes are located in Chicago.
.
Step 3. We'll want to hear about your visits with our cats, and once you've found the cat(s) of your dreams, we'll ask you to complete an adoption application and contract. A representative from Chicago Cat Rescue will process your application (usually within 2 business days). This period of time is also your opportunity to prepare your home for your new pets! After your application is approved, we'll make a plan with you, to deliver your cat(s) to your home. Last minute questions are always welcome!

When you adopt from Chicago Cat Rescue, you not only gain the unconditional love of your new furry family members. You also gain the perpetual support of a group of caring individuals, who are committed to you and your new companions' ongoing happiness.

Our adoption fee is $150 per cat or kitten, to help defray our costs. All of our kitties have been combo-tested for FeLV/FIV, spayed or neutered, vaccinated as needed, micro-chipped and dewormed, as well as provided any other medical care that may have been required.
