Jade was left behind when her guardian passed away. It was a long two weeks before she was even found as the person had no relatives. Jade is a quiet and reserved girl who would love nothing more than a calm home. She has been through so much, that she deserves to just relax and enjoy the remainder of her golden years.

Meet Kelly, a beautiful 2-year-old calico with the most gentle and sweet disposition. Kelly was surrendered to Famous Fido Rescue through no fault of her own, leaving her heartbroken and in need of a loving family who can provide her with the security and affection she deserves. Despite the recent upheaval in her life, Kelly remains a calm and loving companion, ready to bring warmth and comfort to her new forever home.

Story
Meet Candy Corn, an adorable young calico kitten with a dash of sass and a heart full of potential. Though she can be a little spicy at times, we believe it’s just her way of expressing her fear and longing for security. With the warmth and comfort of a loving home, Candy Corn will undoubtedly feel more at ease, blossoming into the sweet companion she’s meant to be. While she may always keep a bit of her feisty charm, she is absolutely worth the effort, and any adopter should cherish her unique personality. We dream of seeing Candy Corn join a growing feline family, as we suspect she feels lonely after being abandoned without the comfort of siblings.

Story
Meep is a gorgeous, golden-eyed, gentle, shy, sweet, snugly and playful, two-year-old, female white calico cat looking for a loving guardian. She is in a foster home with Friends of Petraits Rescue where she has been slowly introduced to the resident dog and she’s doing great. She’s too nervous to enjoy living with other felines. She's been introduced to children and is fine with gentle kids seven years old and over ... Toddlers stress her out! She is looking forward to a long and happy life indoors with a person or family who will dote on her. She is well-behaved in the home and uses her litter box faithfully. She is very healthy, spayed, dewormed, vaccinated for distemper and rabies, virus tested negative for FIV/Felv, and microchipped. Her foster mom says she loves canned food – especially fancy feast turkey and giblets. And, she enjoys being hand fed the occasional liquid cat treat! To meet and possibly adopt Meep, please fill out an adoption application https://friendsofpetraits.com/cat-adoption-application/ After the application is complete, please contact friendsofpetraits@gmail.com to schedule an appointment to meet her. Her adoption fee of $150 benefits the Friends of Petraits Rescue. She is currently being fostered in the Chicago suburb of Villa Park.

Story
Marigold, a beautiful calico, and Stosh, a dapper tuxedo, are a bonded pair with an estimated birthdate of 5/18/2024. They are happy, curious cats who love to interact with their foster humans. Their hobbies include eating, sleeping, and playing; they especially love their feather wand toys and cat tree. Stosh was born without a rear right paw, but he doesn’t let this hold him back! Marigold and Stosh were rescued at birth from a farm by a PPAH rescue partner. All kittens must be adopted with another kitten or into a home with another young cat with which he or she can play and socialize. The majority of no-kill rescues nationwide adhere to this policy. This policy is NOT based on a desire to increase our number of adoptions, rather it ensures that the kittens we rescue, nurture, and love are adopted into homes that offer the best possible environment for their social development. For more information on this policy: www.adoptapet.com/blog/how-to-cure-only-kitten-syndrome/ For more information and pictures, go to our website: http://www.ppahrescue.org/adoptable-pets/ To submit an adoption application online: http://www.ppahrescue.org/adoptapp/ If you cannot adopt, please share to help Marigold find a "furrever" home. To make a donation via PayPal, USPS, or one of our current campaigns; to provide an item from our Amazon Wish List, or to sponsor an animal, please do so here: http://www.ppahrescue.org/donation/ All animals are already spayed/neutered, FIV/FeLV tested negative, micro-chipped, de-wormed and have all necessary shots. They are ready to go to a loving home. Adoption fee is $175.00 each. If you have any questions, please email Admin@PPAHrescue.org. Thank you.

Story
Meet Luella, a charming female kitten looking for her forever home! Luella is used to a calm environment and loves to engage in activities like running with her foster siblings. She may not have a defined superpower, but she certainly has a special knack for stealing hearts. One of my favorite memories with Luella is her bedtime routine - she adorably nuzzles against my shoulder and purrs contentedly. A unique quirk of Luella's is her penchant for showing off her belly at bedtime, and she always knows when it's time to hit the hay and will eagerly await you on the bed. If Luella had a job, it would likely involve spreading joy and warmth wherever she goes. During her time in foster care, she interacted with various furry friends and family members and would thrive in a quiet household. She does well with older children and prefers to have a feline companion to keep her company. When it comes to playtime, Luella is a ball of energy and loves to engage in fun activities. She adores being showered with pets and snuggles, making her a fantastic cuddle buddy. Luella has been in her foster home since she was a tiny kitten, but she’s still waiting for her forever family! Luella faced a challenge in her journey—she was diagnosed with FIP in early November. Once considered nearly untreatable, FIP now has a life-saving treatment thanks to groundbreaking research. With incredible care and a supportive foster team, Luella completed her 84 days of treatment and is now healthy, happy, and ready to find her perfect home! If you're looking for a sweet and playful companion who will bring joy to your home, Luella might just be the perfect match for you. Fill your days with love and laughter by welcoming Luella into your life today!

Story
Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances with our living situation, we will be unable to care for our beloved kitty Nami any longer. She is a young 1.5 year old calico with a BIG personality. She is fixed and vaccinated and has no issues with using her litter box. She is very spoiled and loved and would adore a household that could give her lots of attention and treats. No matter how many toys you may get her, her favorite toys are teaser wands, zip ties, plastic bags, and cardboard boxes. Nami enjoys climbing and sitting up high in her cat trees. She enjoys watching birds in the windows and she will always greet you at the door when you come home. She is very vocal and loves to communicate and play with you. She does not like closed doors or car rides. She is very independent and freespirited. We would love to keep in touch just for rare photos/updates on how she is doing in a future home as we really love her and want to make sure you and her are a good match. Fee negotiable

These pups are in Chicago, Illinois too!

Story
*** In order to alleviate the need to bring an animal into the shelter environment, The Anti-Cruelty Society has the Home-to-Home Shelter Bypass service to help people find new accommodations for their pets privately. These animals are not located in any of the Society`s physical locations. If you are interested in adopting this animal, please do NOT click the Adopt Me button and instead reach out to the current owner directly via the email provided in the profile. As this is a Home-to-Home animal you are not required to fill out an Anti-Cruelty Society adoption application form. ***Bean is a high-energy, playful, snuggly, and brave little guy. He warms up quickly to new people and always wants to be around his people. He purrs anytime he`s around people or even when you`re playing with him. He loves to be held, cuddled up in your arms, and will sleep (almost) all night in between your legs or laying his head on your pillow. He would love another cat in the house or a person with time to play with him a few times a day. Bean is definitely not picky about toys and especially loves springs, wand toys, and lasers. He will sometimes even play fetch and bring his favorite spring or mouse toy back to you. He also loves anything he can run and jump into, like a box filled with paper or a tube.He is also learning not to play bite and has improved a lot: redirection to a toy or not moving your hand and making a little yelp work really well for him. He loves to walk on a leash outside and will easily let you put his collar or harness on him. If you want to trim his nails, he is really calm about you doing it while he sleeps or relaxes. Bean is also so smart and learns quickly. He knows how to sit on command and will come when you call his name.Bean will initially hiss at other cats but only out of fear since he has never been really aggressive toward them. He warms up pretty quickly with a proper introduction and wants to play with new cats. He is a rough player, so he would do best with a younger cat who also has a lot of energy and likes to rough play. He also quickly warms up to dogs as long as they give him some space to approach at his own pace, so I would recommend a slow introduction. He has met a few children and always reacted very well to them and let them pet him. He is not a picky eater and loves anything from kibble to fresh chicken to freeze-dried fish. He has a sensitive stomach with some wet food brands but loves them,

Is there anything cuter than this pretty gal! Introducing Lottie! Lottie came to the shelter when her former owner could no longer keep her. Lottie is one of our Special Care cats due to her being FIV+, meaning she will likely need ongoing monitoring and care at a private vet. Lottie would do best in a home where she can be an only cat, or with an owner who understands the risks of potential FIV spread. Can you help us find Lottie the purr-fect home for the howlidays? Check back soon for more updates--or better yet, come on down to our River North center and meet Lottie today!
