AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION - BONDED KITTENS LILLY & ROMEO
Lilly - Female | 7lbs | 7 months | Black/White DSH
Romeo - Male | 10lbs | 7 months | Black DSH
Who could say no to this adorable pair?
Ridiculously sweet, typically rambunctious teenagers, bonded sibling kittens, looking for their forever home! They adapt to new situations and would most likely be ok in a home with older children. Romeo is going to be a big dude, they're just about 6-7 months old and he's probably almost 10 lbs now! Lilly is smaller and definitely smarter but Ro is no dummy either. They both love to lay on you, sleep and play together, and Romeo will even nurse the blanket or your shirt when he's super snuggly. They love toys and a good window view, and would benefit from a nice tall cat tree so they spend less time finding all the high spots in your home. Lilly loves to play in the water fountain (they spill bowls of water!) so be ready to have it in a spot that's easily cleaned up or to get a heavy one that's less spillable.
Interested in adopting both? Please go to: https://bit.ly/LillyRomeoCAR

MEET MARVIN - AVAILABLE NOW FOR ADOPTION
Male | Age: 11 yrs. old | 12 lbs.
Marvin lost his home after about 10 years when the human children were just too active and noisy for his likes. Marvin would prefer a quiet home with someone patient to let him fully regain his confidence. Marvin loves head pets and a good window perch, and he's been caught meeping with his tiny baby voice when he wants some attention or play time. Marvin does have a grade III heart murmur and only a few teeth left but that hasn't slowed him down at all!

MEET INDY & AMELIA - BONDED KITTENS
AVAILABLE NOW FOR ADOPTION!
INDY | Male | 6 months | 5lbs
AMELIA | Female | 6 months | 5lbs
We call them our little nightmares, but only in the best way! They are truly adorable little lovebugs who will simultaneously self-entertain with zoomies and play-fighting then turn around to be cuddled and take a nap with you. They LOVE making the bed, exploring, and wreaking havoc with any houseplants that they can reach! They hate vacuum cleaners, dishwashers, blow dryers, etc... Indy is super chill and will be a glossy handsome cat. Amelia is smaller and a bit fuzzier and is interestingly the instigator for most of the trouble! They are well-adjusted to people, travel, and kids who are careful when playing with them.
Interested in adopting both? Please go to: https://bit.ly/IndyAmeliaCAR

It's ! We have several seniors looking for forever (or for a foster!), and all of these sweeties would love to be where they are the star of their retirement home! All of these friends are also available as foster to adopt if you wanted to give it some time to see if you're a match.

Missy is a persnickety girl who loves on her terms, who lost her home after about 13 years when life changed for the humans. Missy is at least 15 years old, and a "sour patch kid" in terms of personality - sometimes sweet, sometimes sassy! She will definitely choose her person, do you think you have what it takes? https://bit.ly/CARMissy

Marvin lost his home after about 10 years when the human children were just too active and noisy for his likes. Marvin would prefer a quiet home with someone patient to let him fully regain his confidence. Marvin loves head pets and a good window perch, and he's been caught meeping with his tiny baby voice when he wants some attention or play time. Marvin does have a grade III heart murmur and only a few teeth left but that hasn't slowed him down at all! https://bit.ly/CARMarvin

While not technically a senior yet, Momo is a sweet fella who is searching for a foster or adopter that is patient and kind. Momo is a front declaw who has a history of some litter box issues, but if you are the kind of cat person who doesn't mind sharing your bathtub with your kitty, https://bit.ly/CARMomo

And a friend returning to us, Frank, has to move on due to human allergies. Frank is just about 11 years old and ready to find a comfy spot to land. https://bit.ly/FosterWithCAR

AVAILABLE NOW FOR ADOPTION - ZENA
Female | 10 year old | 11lbs
Meet Zena, an independent, playful, sweet girl who is looking for her forever home. Her human developed health issues and could no longer care for her. Her live and let live attitude makes her perfect for low maintenance owners and quiet households.
Zena loves sunbeams, watching the world go by out the window, and playing with her toys, even fetch if she's in the mood. She is sweet and affectionate, loves head rubs and being brushed. Zena will be very vocal if she wants attention to be pet, but she prefers not to be picked up.
She tends to overeat her dry food so she does well with a slow feeder in smaller portions. This sweet, playful, girl is ready for her forever home. To fill out an application, go to: https://bit.ly/ZenaCAR

Sweet Senior Alert - Missy Bella
Available for foster or foster to adopt now!
Female | about 15 yrs old | 7lbs
We want this sweet girl to find the perfect home to live out her golden years. After 12 years, she lost the only family she knew, but now is finally starting to come around! “Miss Missy-Moo” adores morning lap sits and watching cat videos on YouTube. She is big on her routine, and after breakfast she loves to play with her feather wand toy and lap sits. She still can be easily startled and wary when you walk around her and will do best as a solo cat.
Missy enjoys everything on her terms, so as long as you are ready for Missy Bella to be in charge you will have a great time. With lots of love and patience she will be your best friend till the end!

We recently received a generous donation from @catladybox - both monetary and a goody box of toys! Safe to say, most recent rescue Callie really loves the toys! She will need 'the works' at our vet, so the kind donation will also help offset that cost. Thank you! #adoptpurelove #adoptdontshop #adultcatsrock #felinefoster #spayandneuteryourpets #calico #chicagolandanimalrescue #catladybox

THANK YOU to everyone who came out with their pets, kids, and friends these last two weekends for pictures with Santa!

We had our BEST year in a long time, raising over $1000 for our cats! Thank you, you're all on the nice list, and we can't wait to do it again next year!! #pictureswithsanta #adoptdontshop #chicagolandanimalrescue #niceornaughty #volunteersrock #volunteers #thankful
