Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
Meet Ghost! This little gray cutie is sweet and curious. She loves to play with her toy springs and mice, chase her laser pointer, and to explore every nook and cranny of the house. When she is not busy playing, she enjoys curling up on one of the laps of her foster humans and catching up on the latest tv. Ghost has an easy-going personality, making her the perfect companion for almost any type of house. She peacefully co-exists with the resident dog and rabbit. She is looking for a loving home where she can thrive and be a part of the family.
You may have noticed we said she'd be good in **almost** any type of home. This is because she did test postive for FELV. This means she can only be live with other FELV cats or as the solo feline. She is currently in the "regressive" state which means her immune system is weakened so she will need an indoor only life style, good quality diet and yearly vet visits (like any kitty should have anyways), but that the virus has not moved into her bone marrow so with proper care she can still live a long, healthy life. So if you’re looking for an easy going companion, who will greet you at the door when you come home, she just might be the perfect match!

More about this shelter
OUR PURPOSE:
St. Sophia’s Forgotten Felines is a non-profit foster-based cat rescue in Wheaton, IL. Established in late 2010, St. Sophia’s strives to be the best in temporary care for cats in transition. What does this mean? It means that the cats in our care aren’t intended to stay in our care. Our hope is a forever home for every adoptable cat — no more homeless cats!
OUR CATS:
The cats we care for at St. Sophia's come from many different places. The majority of the cats we help are those that are helpless, who have not experienced love or a home, stray, abused, and neglected cats. Primarily we work with high-volume/high-kill animal controls to save cats from needless euthanasia. Our largest partner is Chicago Animal Care and Control. Other ACs we partner with are Aurora, Joliet Township, DuPage, Herrin, Marion, Quincy, Tilton, Union, Jasper, and Whiting.
St. Sophia's also works with local Trap-Neuter-Return organizations. Trap-Neuter-Return (also known as TNR) is a method of humanely trapping unaltered feral cats, neutering them, and releasing them back to the same environment where they were originally found. TNR is promoted by proponents as a humane and more effective alternative for managing and reducing feral cat populations (compared to euthanasia). While most cats trapped are completely feral (wild, without any domestic socialization), some cats—often kittens, or even adults that have been well cared-for outdoors—can, and have, become socialized and adoptable. TNR organizations aren't equipped to handle the "friendlies" that come in, so we step in to assist those cats looking for homes.
Lastly, some of our cats are direct owner surrenders. Sometimes circumstances have it that people are unable to care for their cats due to moving, eviction, financial issues, death, allergies, etc. We accept these cats in when we have space and maintain a waiting list of those who need assistance. If you ever find yourself in this type of position, please read our surrender policies to see how we can help.
Once a cat is in our care, St. Sophia evaluates each cat individually in order to determine what the best forever home would be. We use the ASPCA Felinality Behavioral Assessment Tool to learn about each cat's needs and personalities. Our cats are raised in foster homes and get individualized attention to help them reach their full potential and get ready for their forever homes. Each cat is different in many ways, and St. Sophia’s prides itself on being able to determine what’s best for each cat on a one-on-one basis.
OUR PEOPLE
The Board Members of St. Sophia’s Forgotten Felines have over 15 years of service in feline welfare combined. They come from various backgrounds including marketing, publishing, business, web-design, librarianship, and more. We have 32 licensed foster homes, all of which go through orientation an extensive training in cat health and behavior.
