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.

We welcomed Knick Knack to Tree House from Chicago Animal Care and Control in October, ready to give this sweet guy the medical care he needed. ⚕️

This eight-year-old ginger gent has a few health hurdles—including cardiac, dental, and kidney disease—but our team has been hard at work getting him on the path to feeling better. While treatment is underway, Knick Knack has been resting and healing in a cozy foster home. 🏡

According to his foster, he’s a quiet, chill companion who spends his awake hours happily shadowing his human. He’s gearing up for a dental procedure just before the New Year, which will bring some much-needed relief. 🎆 After that, his Mew Year’s resolutions are simple: relax, recover, repeat.

🐈️ Cats like Knick Knack have the opportunity to thrive, thanks to the foster families that care for them as they undergo medical treatment. Interested in changing a cat’s life? Learn about fostering at treehouseanimals.org/engage/volunteer/foster/

This mystical black kitty has surfaced from the sea to share her tale 🖤🌊

Meet Selkie—named for the legendary sea spirits who journey between worlds. She washed up at Tree House in September from western Illinois as a devoted nursing mama to six kittens. And as if that weren’t enough, Selkie was quietly battling painful dental disease and severe ear infections. (Ouch—our jaws ache just thinking about it.) 💔

With the help of her loving foster pawrents and , this brave girl faced surgery to remove the teeth causing her pain and completed antibiotics to heal her infections. Her signature head tilt is a lasting reminder of nerve damage from an ear infection—an “imperfection” we think only adds to her magic. 🔀

Now feeling so much better, Selkie has traded the depths for dry land and is on our adoption floor, ready to meet her person. She’s comfortable with other cats and kids, and her next chapter is wide open. Where will this Selkie land next? 🌙✨

You’ll never guess where we found this fella… 👀

Last week, a volunteer was delivering donated cat food to a colony caretaker in the Austin neighborhood when they heard faint meowing. The sound? Coming from a garbage can.

Inside, they found this sweet kitty frozen and stuck to the bottom, possibly in search of food or shelter. While we’ll never know how he got there, thankfully, he was gently freed—and it turned out to be his lucky day. 🍀

After scanning for a microchip, checking with neighbors, and finding no owner, we officially welcomed him as a Tree House cat. 🌳

Meet Chulo 💛—an older kitten now waiting on our adoption floor. One glance through the window and he’ll start making air biscuits. That’s how charming he is. Whoever adopts Chulo is signing up for a lifetime of cozy snuggles.
