Story
Patches is a sweet soul who loves his kitty buddies! Patches is a good, gentle boy who's a little takes some time to warm up, he is a total sweetheart.  He doesn't mind pets, but his foster mom has to find a safe spot, like a bathroom, that he can have. Maybe someone can build this guy a little tiny home that he can camp out in if needed!  He is HUGELY food motivated, so if you offer him yummy food (especially ham), he'll be your friend for life!  Though not a cuddler or lap sitter,  you will be able to pet him if you are patient and loving and get him to trust you. He is so special ♥♥♥♥♥ ! What are some of his favorite things?  Watching cat TV, playing with fuzzy toys, lazer pointers and walking alongside his foster mom's kitty.  In fact, Patches loves all cats and kittens!  I guess you could call him the kitty whisperer! And cuteness quotient?  Off the charts when he jumps in the air while playing with or chasing other kitties! Patches would do well in a quiet, possibly adults only home.  He has not been around dogs, but would absolutely need another cat or cats to take care of and play with!   If you want a sweet and funny boy, have the time and patience to get to know him and gain mutual trust, you couldn't find a better fur boy!

Story
Starting her life down south, after a couple of years our gorgeous Sedona has embraced Chicago weather!    Sedona can be shy at first but once she gets to know you, she is a lover!   She adores getting pets from her humans at her own pace. Once she decides you’re friendly, she is all about the pets. As Sedona can be submissive around other cats, to help her blossom she would do well as a solo cat or in a home with a very laid back male cat. Sedona will need a special, patient human to come into her life but that person will be rewarded with a rich lifelong companion.  Could this be you?   Apply at online application (catsfff.org/adopt) View all of our adoptable cats here (catsfff.org/cats) Our adoption fees are listed here (catsfff.org/adoption-fees) ##1134072##

Story
Meet Boomer! Boomer is one of the most mild-mannered cats that you will ever meet.  He eats, sleeps and cuddles throughout the day.  He is always ready to greet you upon your arrival with some delightful conversation and some good yoga stretches!  Boomer would prefer a quieter home environment and would do well with older children.  As he loves every human he has ever met, he would thrive in a home where someone is home most of the day.  He doesn't care for other animal companions and will thrive as the one and only in your home, This young man does have some gastrointestinal issues and needs to be on a special raw rabbit diet.  He LOVES his raw food and it has resolved his issues! He will need to continue on this diet.  Boomer is quite the lap cat and a great office buddy during the day!  He tends to be pretty independent through the middle of the night, which is a huge plus as we all love an uninterrupted good night's sleep, including Boomer.  He is always welcoming to strangers and is eager to cuddle up to the closest warm lap in the room!  He also enjoys his window watching time and is fascinated by all the sights he is able to see below. If you are interested in meeting Boomer, please apply at the link below.  This is one happy feline that will provide you with unwavering companionship!

Story
This curious pot luck favorite is an adventure on the go, meet Pasta Salad! She brings many things to the table but what shines most about this social butterfly is her playfulness once she settles into the right fur-filled home. She enjoys playing and spending time with other kitties who she befriends and trusts. Another one of Pasta Salad’s wonderful traits is her love for exploring. Although this independent cat is still getting comfortable with pets from humans, she is plenty cuddly with her companion Soleil! Just like many of us, she is a bit cautious around new people but a home filled with patience, love, and respect will bring out the best in this lovely little lady. Pasta Salad has one of the most adorable toothless smiles ever! Her unique multicolor lip catches your eye and will bring a smile to your face as well. Her favorite hobbies revolve around exploring and her curiosity. Pasta Salad has the energy of a toddler and a big interest in investigating her surroundings. She has a youthful and exuberant personality! And her playfulness doesn’t just stop there, she enjoys playing with all kinds of toys. The one she likes best is a wand with a feather! Pasta Salad’s perfect furrever home would be filled with love, patience, compassion, and other kitties. She has as a very special friendship with Soleil, a buddy she met while at the shelter. They have continued their friendship into fosterhood! We highly suggest these two be adopted  together, as they not only make an adorable pair, they have such love for one another that they  would transition and live best as the two peas in a pod they are. A household with adults or older teenagers would be ideal as she prefers slow and calm movement around her. A quieter and relaxed environment would be best for her. Pasta Salad is just waiting for the perfect forever home where she can settle and thrive. She could be the missing puzzle piece to your purfect furry family! Apply to adopt Pasta Salad and her bestie, Soleil.

Story
Soleil is here to brighten your day! This sweet girl will win you over with her kind and gentle eyes.  She’s a calm and quiet girl who loves napping, exploring, and running around the house with her furry friends! Soleil’s peaceful demeanor will be a wonderful addition to any house with other friendly kitty cats like herself. Every day she shows more and more just how much personality she has when met with patience and respect. One adorable feature Soleil has is her front paw! She appears to have an extra toe which actually turns out to be a conjoined toe, just another cute thing to be fond of about this furry baby. Her hobbies include running up and down the stairs and sleeping. She has her priorities set straight and knows what she likes! Laser pointers and feather wands bring out the playful and talented hunter she is. Her purrfect furrever home would be with at least one other gentle kitty who is friendly and playful. She is great at transitioning when surrounded by not only other kitties, but her companion Pasta Salad. We highly suggest these two be adopted together, as they not only make an adorable pair, they have such love for one another that they would transition and live best as the two peas in a pod they are. A calm and easy going household of adults or older teenagers would be where she does best as she is an independent girl who enjoys the company other kitties.  She is just a sweet soul looking for the right loving home to welcome her and her companion. You’ll fall in love with her playful and adventurous personality. Let Soleil bring a few more rays of sunshine into your life and into your heart.

Story
Meet Jolyne! This wide-eyed beauty is looking for the perfect family to call her own! Jolyne is a petite gal with some spunk to her personality. She does require extra time to warm up to new people and environments and prefers to explore on her own at first. Despite her shy nature, she is very curious and becomes more outgoing with time and patience. While not necessarily a cuddler, she is very food motivated and will allow petting when food is involved. Her favorites include sunbathing, napping, grooming her brother, chasing laser pointers, and eating Churu treats! The ideal home would be calm and quiet, preferably with adults only, or with older children who are familiar with cats and can respect her boundaries and independent spirit. She would LOVE to be adopted with her brother, Josuke, but would also do well in a home with another friendly cat she can be affectionate with. She hasn’t had much exposure to animals outside of cats, so may prefer a cat-only home or require proper introductions to non-felines first. Jolyne is ready for someone to embrace her free spirit, so apply online to adopt her (with her brother, Josuke) today!
