Story
Hello there! My name is Slick. I’m a Christmas baby and really want to receive the gift of my FURever family before I turn 2 years old later this year.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 love to be adopted with my sister Josephine since we have been best friends since birth. If we can’t be adopted together, though, 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 middle school age or older kids.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
I’m Lulu, an older girl, but my heart is still young! Sadly, I lost my childhood home and had a brief stay at the kennel before finding my current foster home. The dogs at the kennel helped me adjust to barking and noise, and I had no problems meeting my foster`s relaxed dog. I`m not sure how I`ll react to a more active dog, though.I enjoy being petted (but I`ll let you know when I`ve had enough), brushed, chin and ear scratches (I`ll nudge my head into your hand when I`m ready), having my cat tower by a window for naps and people-watching, and my cat water fountain. I`m not a fan of being picked up and would do best in a home with older children. I`m quite adorable, so I`m sure kids would want to pick me up, but that`s a boundary I prefer not to cross.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 Lulu, please complete an online adoption application at www.almosthomefoundation.org or email cats@almosthomefoundation.org.

Story
Tortellini is a fighter! His mama, Athena, came to AHF pregnant with 4 kittens. Unfortunately, she lost three of her babies. With bottle feeding and determination, Tortellini managed to beat the odds and is a thriving, playful kitten. Tortellini was raised by his mama, Athena, but also by his second mama, Juno.Tortellini loves to play, run around the house, and cuddle with his second mama, Juno, on chairs, couches, and pillows. The kitties just want to be in whatever room their humans are in, but they are still gaining confidence with being held or carried. They do enjoy being pet and being played with using feather and ribbon toys.Tortellini is bonded to Juno and they must be adopted together.

Story
Cupcake is a sweet little cutie pie! Her hobbies include diamond dots and begging for people food. She also enjoys getting the zoomies and a small selection of toys. She follows her foster mom everywhere and loves the company of people. She is a little shy with new people about being pet, but she is never far from the action. She gets along with her 6 feline roommates, but doesn`t choose to interact with them much.Cupcake is a well-mannered girl who adores being petted all over, including her paws and belly. She happily purrs and may even drool a bit when she’s very content. She is highly motivated by treats and will eagerly come out for them at any time. While not a fan of being held, she is gradually becoming more comfortable with it. She isn`t very playful with others but enjoys playing with her toys in private. Cupcake is looking for a family that is patient and will continue to build her trust in humans.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 Cupcake, 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. ***
