AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION - BONDED KITTENS LILLY & ROMEO
Lilly - Female | 7lbs | 7 months | Black/White DSH
Romeo - Male | 10lbs | 7 months | Black DSH
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 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 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

MEET HOUSE PANTHER 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!
Ready to make Marvin a part of your family? To fill out an application, go to: https://bit.ly/CARMarvin

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!
