Story
Meet Amber: The Shy Sweetheart! This adorable little ball of fluff is still finding her way in the world! While Amber might get a little spooked sometimes, her playful spirit shines through when she’s with her sister, Roxy. She might hiss when you try to scoop her up, but don’t fret! With a little patience and love in a quiet home she’ll learn to trust you. As a young kitten Amber must be adopted with either one of her siblings Luna and Roxy, another FFF kitten friend, or have a friendly resident cat companion in the home to bond with. She would likely find children and dogs a little overwhelming. Ready to give Amber the gentle home she needs? Reach out below and let’s help this precious girl blossom! WE DO NOT HAVE A PHYSICAL LOCATION AS WE ARE A FOSTER-BASED ORGANIZATION.  PLEASE SUBMIT AN APPLICATION TO BE IMMEDIATELY CONNECTED TO A SCREENER.

Story
 Jupiter- The perfect, elegant, loving,  attention seeking,  Panther-like boy who's the 'purrfect' combination of playfulness and Zen-like calmness! This handsome 'stud' absolutely adores being the center of attention and in return, will shower his human friends with affection, but at the same time, he'll also happily play with other kitties or by himself.  Jupiter loves kickers, cat nip toys and little mice. This unique boy has an even more unique tail which adorably curls up to form a ring when he 'struts' around the house!   Ideally, Jupiter would fit perfectly in a quiet, peaceful household, possibly with older children, that appreciate his independent yet affectionate nature. He can do well either as a solo pet or with a feline friend after a slow introduction. All in all, Jupiter is a captivating cat who is sure to bring joy and companionship to his future family. Prepare to be amazed by his striking, Panther looks and endearing personality — falling in love with Jupiter is practically guaranteed!

Story
Hi, my name is Buttons. I'm a sweet and loving buff boy who was born in August 2024. I hold a very special place in my foster mom's heart, as I will to anyone that adopts me. I'm a very fun and loving kind of guy. I will sit on your chest and lap and cuddle with you for hours. I'll tuck myself under your chin while you watch TV and purr ever so loudly. I'll also play for hours on end with my brothers (Butterscotch, Buster and Busby, and my sisters (Buffy and Bunnie), so I'll need some toys. Then I'll come in for more snuggles! I would be happiest being adopted with one of my siblings or into a home with a welcoming kitten or cat. I may also be fine as a single kitten in a home with someone home all of the time, but please know that I will need your full attention. All cats & kittens are up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, dewormed, fixed, and FeLV/FIV tested. Adoption fee is a minimum $110 per kitten donation to Feral Fixers. Discounted adoption fee if two kittens are adopted together, $175 for a pair. A brief screening questionnaire and contract apply! If you are interested in meeting and adopting one of our cats please email: gotfriendlies@gmail.com Our cats and kittens are in private foster homes and need a completed questionnaire before an appointment can be made to meet them. All of our cats/kittens are in foster homes throughout DuPage County. We consider adopters within a reasonable driving distance.

Story
Hi I'm Busby. I'm a fun loving orange and white kitten boy, who was born in August 2024. They say I will keep you laughing! I like to crawl through the house on my side then bear my belly to everyone I meet, even my foster family's dog. He's a very big dog, but I'm not afraid of him. I'd like to rub up against him and give him nose kisses. I also enjoy chasing around with my brothers (Butterscotch, Buttons and Buster) and my sisters (Buffy and Bunnie). I'm a little spoiled and liked to be held like a baby, so my tummy, chin and face can get some tickles and scratches. I would be happiest being adopted with one of my siblings or into a home with a welcoming kitten, cat or dog. I may also be fine as a single kitten in a home with someone home all of the time.

Story
CJ is such an amazing cat...First of all he is huge, about 12-13 lbs, and really not overweight.  He came to us from Joliet animal control and couldn't use his rear leg.  He was treated by a orthopedic specialist and while he will always have a slight limp he is not in pain or slowed down at all and uses all 4 legs just fine.  He is healthy (has had bloodwork and urinalysis) and is up to date on all vaccines for 3 years (from Aug 2024), felv/fiv and fecal neg, fixed and microchipped.  He is the most easy going cat, loves everyone, amazing with kids (lets the toddler carry him around).  He sleeps with everyone and loves attention and snuggling under the blankets.  He is great with other cats as well.  He was adopted but he has not adjusted to the dogs and the other cats in the house haven't adjusted to him so he needs to find a better fit.  So no dogs for him but that's his only restriction.  He does want to leave the house but is easily redirected to stay inside.  Blossom, another kitten in the rescue, has really attached to him and it would be best if they were adopted as a pair.   CJ's adoption fee is $200, if adopted with Blossom their fee is $350 To adopt CJ, email us at kakf3133@gmail.comNovember 20, 2024, 10:47 pm

Story
Hi, my name is Bunnie! They call me Honey Bunnie. I was born in August 2024 and have 4 brothers (Butterscotch, Buttons, Buster and Busby) and 1 sister (Buffy). I'm the little momma out of the pack. I give everyone baths to help keep them clean. I'm a little more reserved than my siblings, but we are all a very friendly group. I like to cuddle and snuggle once I am comfortable. I also like to run around & play with the little fuzzy mice and wrestle with my brothers and sister. I would be happiest being adopted with one of my siblings or into a home with a welcoming kitten or cat. I may also be fine as a single kitten in a home with someone home all of the time.
