Some duos arrive at Tree House side-by-side—and leave the same way. Origami and Lacie? They met here… and we’re hoping they’ll head home together, too. 💞

Origami is a shy FeLV+* sweetheart who came to Tree House last July and went straight into foster care. While she took her time warming up to humans, everything changed once she met other FeLV+ cats. With a feline friend by her side, Origami truly began to blossom—proof that this girl thrives with a buddy.

Enter Lacie. ✨ She joined our FeLV+ crew in October (you may have met her at our Cat Café!) and quickly made it clear she was playful, energetic, and eager for a cat companion. The equation was easy: Lacie + Origami = instant magic.

Now this dynamic duo is zooming around their foster home while they wait for a family ready to adopt them both. The best part? You’ll get the purr-fect balance of Origami, sweetly perched up high and observing the world, and Lacie, your playful shadow following you from room to room. 🐾💖

From sisters on the street to cuddles on the couch. 🛣️➡️🛋️

Last spring, Caroline and Nina (formerly known as Fettuccine and Rotini) starred in a behind-the-scenes video on trapping a litter of kittens in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood. Today, this bonded pair takes center stage in their new, loving home. 🏡

Caroline, a shy but sweet girl, follows the confident and affectionate lead of her sister, Nina. The duo loves pets, snuggles, and casual conversation to pass the time. 💬 Still the energetic and rambunctious young girls we found outside many seasons ago, Caroline and Nina have brought their playfulness inside to their warm, happy home. ☀️

Like every cat that comes to Tree House, Caroline and Nina’s journey was a true team effort. From our community programs staff who carefully trapped their litter to the foster volunteer who socialized the young cats for adoption, our clinic and caretaking staff who cared for and supported Rotini during her stay in “R.O. Jail,” and the adoption crew who matched this Bonded Pair with their new family, every member of is thrilled to see another Happy Ending Tail. 🌳

We’re feeling hopeful about a special kitty’s healing journey. 💚🧡

Moonshine—one of our FeLV+ and FIV+* cats you may have met at the Cat Cafe this fall—recently began feeling under the weather. ☁️ When he became less playful, ate less, and then developed a fever, our team acted quickly. Moonshine was diagnosed with feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), a disease once considered fatal, but now treatable thanks to newer medications. 💊

“Moonie” headed to a foster home where he could take his meds and soak up round-the-clock love from his foster pawrent and resident cat Baby Bear (another FeLV+ Tree House alum who had recently recovered from FIP). 🏡 While his treatment will continue for a few months and remains complex due to his pre-existing conditions, Moonshine is showing encouraging signs—he’s eating well and playing again. His foster shared that she “couldn’t believe the 180 he was making!” 😲

Our staff say he’s not completely out of the woods yet, but they’re feeling much more hopeful. Fingers crossed for Moonshine as he continues to heal, and endless thanks to his incredible foster family for proving that a little love really can go a long way ✨🐾

*The feline leukemia (FeLV) and feline immunodeficiency viruses (FIV) are lifelong conditions, but it doesn’t stop a cat from being a loving companion. With routine veterinary support, FeLV+ cats can enjoy many happy years with their families.

For longtime Tree House friends, the names Tatsu & Miyamoto might ring a bell. 🔔

These senior brothers have been part of the Tree House story since 2021, and through every twist and turn, one thing has stayed the same: they’re truly 💞 Best friends, cuddle buddies, and lifelong teammates.

After some time in foster care, their personalities really shined. These two are watchers—they love big windows, quiet neighborhoods, and keeping a gentle eye on the world (including their foster pawrent and resident dog 👀🐶).

Tatsu is the braver of the pair, often saying hi to humans with what his foster swears are “harmless hisses”—clearly his love language 😸 Meanwhile, Miyamoto is a total Yoda type: quiet, calm, and wonderfully mellow.

Looking for two peaceful brothers to spend their golden years soaking up sun and snuggles in your living room? Keep an eye out—Tatsu & Miyamoto will be available for adoption soon ☀️🛋️

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. 🐾
