Mizu thought she was in a forever home. but was returned to Feline Friends after several years. She is between 10 and 13 years old and is front declawed. While she does like to chase the red dot, or cat dancer sometimes, she’s mostly into lounging and snuggling. If you're watching Netflix, she's going to be right there with you from start to finish. She is very easy and really just wants to sit on the sofa with someone.
Do you take daily medication to keep you healthy and happy? A lot of us do. So does Mizu. After stumping a few doctors, Mizu found one who figured out her problem. Now she takes two medications every morning and is really thriving. She feels like the cat she was in her younger days!
Mizu’s dream home would be as an only cat living with someone who is comfortable giving meds once a day and is around enough to keep her company. Feline Friends will cover all of Mizu’s medications and vet visits so she can continue to chill and cat and show you what love means.
If you live in Chicago and are interested in learning more about Mizu please contact Toni McNaughton at tonimcn@rcn.com and Lisa Ward at catladychicago@yahoo.com. Please tell us a bit about your situation, what you are looking for, the composition of your current household (the other humans and/or pets who already live there). Inquires with these questions answered are responded to promptly.
We are always in need of foster homes. If you are not able to adopt, but are interested in fostering or know someone who might be, we would love to hear from you!

Additional adoption info
The process for adopting a cat involves a couple of steps.
Step 1 Gather information
We gather information about the potential adopter's situation, what they are looking for, their current household and pets, etc.
Step 2 Cat “Interviews”
Next, we have the potential adopter meet the available kitties, by putting them directly in touch with the appropriate foster parent(s) to coordinate a day and time for a visit.
Step 3 Adoption application
Once the potential adopter has met the kitties, if they decide they want to do an adoption, they fill out our adoption application, which we then process. It takes a couple of days to process the application. Once the application has been processed and approved, the kitties are ready to go home.
Step 4 After the adoption
Once a person has adopted a cat, Feline Friends Chicago continues to stay in touch with the adopter to ensure a smooth transition for both the person and the cat. We remain available for questions and advice.
All of our kitties have been combo-tested for FIV/Feline Leukemia, spayed or neutered, vaccinated for distemper, microchipped, and dewormed. The adoption fee helps to offset the costs we incur to do all of these things.
Please keep in mind, we are a very small volunteer group and not set up to do out of state or long distance adoptions. If you live out of the Chicago area, we encourage you to look at your local shelters where there are wonderful animals waiting for homes.
