Story
Benny is an 11 year old handsome fella who is need of a new home! He's lived with his owner happily for the past 7 years but unfortunately she has to go into memory care and won't be able to bring Benny. We really want to make sure he goes to a good home. He's a low maintenance cat but expect him to have some trouble adjusting initially. He'd do best as the only cat in the home and we're not sure how he is with dogs.

Story
Maru is a very sweet, playful, and affectionate cat who will be turning 2 years old in March of 2025. She doesn't meow very much but makes cute purring noises when she sees you and loves to be petted and scratched. She is very affectionate and calm and always does her business in the litter box. We have never had any accidents so far! Maru was acquired from my cousin who had to move and sadly couldn't keep her. She has been with us for over a month. We've grown very fond and attached to her! Currently our lives are a bit full with having two kids and sadly we are a bit too busy to give her the proper attention that she needs. She is up to date on shots/vaccines. She will come with 1 litter box (used only 1 month), food and snacks, 1 scratch post, some cat toys, a box and some scratch boards, and a laser pointer.

Story
Hello there! My name is Slick. I’m a fully grown adult cat, but I only weigh a little over 6 pounds. What I don’t have in size, I make up for in personality. I am wary of people, but I am incredibly smart if you have the patience to learn my cues. Once you earn my trust, I will sleep on the bed with you and watch over you from across the room. When I am ready for attention, I will boop your hand with my nose to let you know. I don’t like my tummy being touched and I am not a fan of being picked up, but I do enjoy gentle pets. If you bring out a laser light, we can play for a long time together too. That little red dot is no match for me! If you aren’t in the mood to play, I am good at entertaining myself. I’ve been caught many times picking toy mice up in my mouth and tossing them in the air just so I can pounce on them. I like to lay in a sunny patch on the floor or curl up in a cozy cat bed. I also like to look out the window. I sure don’t miss being outdoors, especially now that it is getting cold!I would be most comfortable in a home where there is already an established cat. I am my best self when I have a feline friend who can help me adjust and be my play buddy. Young children scare me, so my ideal family would have no kids or kids that are in middle school or older.Almost Home`s Adoption Requirements:* Be at least 21 years of age* Have the knowledge and consent of all adults living in the household* Have written approval from owner of residence* Have a valid government-issued photo ID with current address* Be approved as a suitable adoptive home by Almost Home Foundation* Be ready to make a lifetime commitment* Live in the greater Chicagoland area (Illinois residents only)* Pass a veterinarian reference check for current and past petsIf you are interested in Slick, please complete an online adoption application at www.almosthomefoundation.org/adopt-a-cat/ or email cats@almosthomefoundation.org.*** Please note that Almost Home Foundation accepts only cash, checks, or Zelle for adoption fees; we do not accept debit or credit cards. ***

Story
Baby Doll, the renowned feline star, lived a life of luxury until her owner had to relocate to a distant retirement community. Fortunately, Almost Home stepped in to assist! Currently, Baby Doll is unwinding in a foster home, eagerly awaiting her ideal companion. This charming kitty loves cuddles, head rubs, and engaging playtime with her toys. She even responds with adorable meows during chats with her foster mom. Used to being the focal point, she feels uncertain about sharing her spotlight with other pets. Therefore, Baby Doll is searching for a forever home where she can be the sole furry family member. This mature cat flourishes with a balanced routine that includes both playtime and naps. While she appreciates company, she prefers to sit beside her human rather than on laps or being tightly hugged.Almost Home`s Adoption Requirements:Be at least 21 years of ageHave the knowledge and consent of all adults living in the householdHave approval from owner of residence (written in lease)Have a valid ID with current addressBe approved as a suitable adoptive home by Almost Home FoundationBe ready to make a lifetime commitmentLive in the suburbs surrounding Chicago (Illinois Residents only)Pass a veterinarian reference check for current and past pets.Adoption payment cash, check or Zelle onlyIf you are interested in Baby Doll, please email cats@almosthomefoundation.org or complete an online adoption application at www.almosthomefoundation.org/adopt-a-cat.

Story
I’m named Dathomir, but my foster mom lovingly calls me Darth due to my all-black fur. I am a sociable cat who enjoys gentle interactions. Although I used to be a bit moody, wearing a calming collar has significantly improved my behavior. I enjoy relaxing on my foster mom`s lap while watching TV in the evenings and snuggling by her legs at bedtime. Chin scratches are my favorite, and I absolutely love them! I’m seeking a family who will show me kindness and patience and where I’m the only furry family member.Almost Home`s Adoption Requirements:Be at least 21 years of ageHave the knowledge and consent of all adults living in the householdHave approval from owner of residence (written in lease)Have a valid ID with current addressBe approved as a suitable adoptive home by Almost Home FoundationBe ready to make a lifetime commitmentLive in the suburbs surrounding Chicago (Illinois Residents only)Pass a veterinarian reference check for current and past pets.Adoption payment cash, check or Zelle onlyIf you are interested in Dathomir, please complete an online adoption application at www.almosthomefoundation.org or email cats@almosthomefoundation.org.*** Please note that Almost Home Foundation accepts only cash, checks, or Zelle for adoption fees; we do not accept debit or credit cards. ***

Story
Hi, I’m Stephanie. I adore cuddling and purring on your chest, and I love making morning biscuits. Playing in the sun brings me joy. Throughout the day, I prefer lounging around in the same room as my humans and playing with my toys either by myself or with my humans. Sometimes I can be a bit sassy, but it`s all part of my charm! I’m seeking a forever family without young children where my family is patient and gives me enough time to get comfortable. I’m the kind of cat that needs to come to my humans when I want love. Having my humans force love onto me, stresses me out. A home that is cat experienced and is looking for a cat companion as opposed to a lap kitty, is the home for me!Almost Home`s Adoption Requirements:Be at least 21 years of ageHave the knowledge and consent of all adults living in the householdHave approval from owner of residence (written in lease)Have a valid ID with current addressBe approved as a suitable adoptive home by Almost Home FoundationBe ready to make a lifetime commitmentLive in the suburbs surrounding Chicago (Illinois Residents only)Pass a veterinarian reference check for current and past pets.Adoption payment cash, check or Zelle onlyIf you are interested in Stephanie, please complete an online adoption application at www.almosthomefoundation.org or email cats@almosthomefoundation.org.*** Please note that Almost Home Foundation accepts only cash, checks, or Zelle for adoption fees; we do not accept debit or credit cards. ***
