MILO & PIPER ARE GETTING READY FOR THE BIG GAME!
Milo - Male | 7lbs | 4 1/2 yrs old
Piper - Female | 13lbs | 4 1/2 yrs old
Piper and Milo are sweet, quiet, and just a little shy who would love a chill home to call their own. This bonded pair both love to be pet and show some serious affection. Milo loves a good window view, and both like to show their silly sides when it comes to playtime. Milo can be a social butterfly when he is comfortable, where Piper will find her person and stick to them as her favorite, then warm up to new people slowly.

Adoption Update: Stanley has crossed the 🌈rainbow bridge
We adopted Stanley from CAR back in 2017. His name at the time was Big Mac, but our daughters name is MacKenzie (she is now 20 and lives on her own) and we call her Mac so we had to change his name and let me tell you Stanley lived up to his new name! He was such a snuggle bug too!

Fly high, Stanley!

Meet Frank - ready for adoption!
Frank is a super chill guy who just goes with the flow. He loves to snuggle and will shower you with love and plenty of slow blinks. Really one of the sweetest cats around!
This guy will eat any food given to him. He's not much of a climber, and prefers a low cat scratcher-tree to hang out in. He enjoys sitting in the sun and watching the world go by. He also will wear a harness!
While being held is not really his thing, he LOVES belly rubs. To stay extra handsome, his beautiful coat does need brushing. Frank is fine with other easygoing furry friends and doesn't mind kids. To fill out an adoption application for Frank, go to: https://bit.ly/FrankCAR

@cat.janice missy is jamming tonight thanks to your music! 🖤🤎 #adoptpurelove #adultcatsrock #seniorcatsrule #adoptdontshop #felinefoster #fosteringsaveslives

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
