NICE CAT OF THE WEEK: HONEYSAUCE 👍️✔️
Just look at this guy flopping down right next to ! Honeysauce is a total lover boy who’s always ready to cuddle up and soak in the affection. Certified good behavior. Gold star earned ⭐

NAUGHTY CAT OF THE WEEK: FILENA 👎️❌️
Miss Filena is also a lover girl… maybe a little too much! She showers hands in her foster home with kisses (aka enthusiastic licking) and occasionally tries to sneak in a tiny nibble—oops! 😅 She’s learning how to channel all that love in gentler ways, and we’re cheering her on every step of the way.

Which one would you take home: nice, naughty, or a little bit of both? 💕🐾 Meet the two kitties at treehouseanimals.org/adopt/adoptable-animals/

What would life with Vivace be like? 💃🐱

You might expect a calico diva—but her foster calls her a “friendly, low-maintenance buddy.”

Vivace’s idea of enrichment? Literally anything. 📦📄 Paper scraps, boxes, mystery objects… Congrats, you already own her favorite toys!

Mealtime? ⏰🍽️ No guesswork here. Vivace will politely (and repeatedly) remind you when it’s time—and she’s not picky either.

Need a conversation starter? She’s got you covered with her chatty “mrr-eow!” 😸💬

At bedtime, this loyal girl settles in by your feet, keeping you company all night long. 💤

📧 Interested in Vivace? She’s available for a Foster-to-Family adoption! She is also eligible for Trial Adoption! Email [email protected] to learn more.

A sneak attack to the heart! ‼️

Ninja, a once shy and hesitant senior cat, recently completed his mission to turn his foster pawrents into his adopters. With a newfound confidence and trust in his humans, Ninja isn't keeping his playful, silly, and cuddly identities a secret. 🤭

Now, he shows off his quick reflexes while playing with his feather toy and vanishes from plain sight under a blanket for snuggles. "When he gets excited at dinnertime, he tends to meow forcefully while running; as a result, his meow warbles (kind of like SpongeBob's laugh), which cracks us up," says his pawrents. 🤣

Every cat is looking for a second chance, especially our sweet senior cats like Ninja. While older cats often have unique needs, our team of behavior and vet care experts is here to support everyone from fosters to adopters in giving the very best care and love to their feline friends. 🐾

Senior cats don’t all fit the stereotype—and Nikon is living proof. 😉

At 10 years old, this tortie “goes kinda crazy with the zoomies” (according to her former foster 😹). She’s friendly, adaptable, and gets along beautifully with cats, dogs, and kids—basically a social butterfly in a feline suit. 🦋

Nikon came to us with a heartfelt letter from her past caregiver, who shared how she was raised with endless love and snuggles, but had to be was placed in our care due to financial, health, and housing challenges. While in our care, Nikon received life-saving bladder stone and gall bladder removal surgeries, then recovered in foster with plenty of lap time and TLC.

Now fully healed, Nikon is back on our adoption floor—ready to bring joy, affection, and surprise zoomies to her next home. Could that be you? 💫

What’s a Foster-to-Family adoption? ✈️😻 Think of it as a non-stop flight between two awesome cities.

Many shelter cats experience a few layovers—flying from one home, pausing at the shelter, then heading off to another. And just like travel IRL, fewer layovers = a smoother, less stressful journey. 🧳✨

With Foster-to-Family, cats wait it out in a cozy foster home, meet their adopter, and go straight home—no extra stops. Now that’s the travel plan we want to book. 🏡💖

Ready to meet your future copilot? These cats are available for adoption straight from their foster homes:
🐾 Fink
🐾 Origami*
🐾 Erickson
🐾 Vivace
🐾 Ghibli
🐾 Teddy
🐾 Conch Shell
🐾 Filena
🐾 Lacie*

*These cats have the feline leukemia virus (FeLV). While the virus is lifelong, FeLV+ cats can still live several healthy, fulfilling years in a loving home.

Got any Mew Year’s Resolutions for 2026? 🐱✨
No worries—we did the brainstorming for you.

Here are a few purr-fect ways to help thrive this year:
🐾 Turn one of us into family — through adoption
🛒 Toss some cat food (wet or dry!) into your cart for Chicago’s community cats and their colony caretakers
🏡 Open up a guest room for a foster kitty in need
🩺 Book a spay/neuter appointment for your pet at our Veterinary Wellness Center
🧺 Donate cozy (and easy-to-wash!) towels for sick kitties on the mend

Can’t check off any of these right now? Totally okay. 💛

Meet Honeysauce—our resident helper cat. 🍯😺

What’s a helper cat, you ask? Honeysauce is a confident, cat-friendly guy who helps shy, but playful cats (especially kittens!) learn how to relax, trust, and enjoy time with their humans (especially couch time). 🛋️

Mr. Sauce is all about the snuggles with people and makes a wonderful role model for a cat who’s curious—but a little nervous—about joining the family cuddle pile. 🤗

Cleotrapa, our “wobbly cat” with cerebellar hypoplasia, just moved into Mr. Sauce’s colony room so they can become friends. We hope to share some cute pictures soon! 📸

Honeysauce is available for Trial Adoption in your home. Interested?

A new chapter, for both cat and pawrent. 📖

Dwight spent many years in a loving home, until his adopter made the difficult decision to return him to Tree House, trusting that he'd find a place where he could thrive. With a thoughtful list of Dwight's favorite toys and treats, quirks and lounging preferences, we set out to find his next great adventure. 🧭

This fall, Dwight's next chapter began when he met his foster, who had been looking for a furry companion of his own. "It was great to have a pet in my home again," he said. "I didn't realize how much I missed it until Dwight came along." 💚 In a matter of months, Dwight had snuggled his way into his foster’s heart, leading to his official adoption!

A friend to all who visit their home, Dwight is always looking for pets, a chat, and his next meal! "I've also woken up to him grooming me a few times," laughs his adopter. 💈

Returns are often just the beginning of a new adventure. For Dwight and Luke, this is the start of what looks to be the sweetest chapter yet.
