CATS of Geneva Petsmart

11/05/2024

🌧On this less-than-pretty day, we are featuring on precious miss Christine who is currently residing at Petsmart Geneva with her brother Paul, and sweet mama Beth. She has been growing up with SAYv after being at Chicago Animal Care and Control (CACC) for a short while as critical care cases. Thankfully a wonderful foster scooped up this family and gave them much needed love and care that they need!

Given her rough start, it is understandable that Christine is cautious in everything that she does, but an absolute treat to behold! Her unique beauty mark on her nose and quiet nature make her a purrfect candidate for a quiet home. She is queen of hide and seek, finding all of the tiny crevices and cat holes to hunker down in, and she does enjoy some quality play time with her brother Paul. We believe that kittens do best with a companion, which means that this cutie will need to either be adopted with another cat or kitten or into a home that has a kitty friend for her to be properly introduced to. Sound like this pretty girl is the right match for you? Apply to adopt here: sayvanimals.org/adopt

🎃Happy Halloween!

This we are featuring Theodora, the sweet unique tabby with unique markings and a heart of gold! 💛

She was found near Midway airport ✈ with her siblings. A wonderful foster took them in and gave them all kinds of love, creating adorable little snuggle monsters! She is a bundle of energy and curiosity!

You'll see her at Petsmart Geneva enjoying a nap, wrestle match, or snuggle session with her siblings. We believe that kittens do best with a friend, which means that Theodora will need to be adopted with another cat or kitten or into a home that has a feline friend for her.

Adopted pets are the best kind! Interested in adopting miss Theodora?

Today we feature miss Marble on this 😻

This sweet girl has her secrets as she was found alone walking in the streets of Chicago, what a brave little one! Thankfully she was scooped up and given lots of love in a foster home with lots of other kittens to pal around with. She is currently enjoying accommodations with her foster sibling, Walter, along with several other darlings that she enjoys having a good romp with every day!

Her beautiful golden eyes and soft striking coat will give you all of the warm fuzzy feelings, and her playtime with a friend or two will guaranteed be an entertaining time for everyone! We believe kittens have more fun with a friend, so Marble will either need to be adopted with another kitten or playful cat or into a home with a young, lively feline buddy to share her adventures with.

Remember, this week is Petsmart National Adoption Week Oct 21-27, we are offering discounted adoption fees on ALL of the SAYv animals.

Ever wonder where our cats come from? How they came to be at Geneva Petsmart? It’s a long process.

Abandoned, homeless, owner-surrendered cats are taken in by animal control agencies (Chicago Animal Care and Control, etc) where they are evaluated and housed temporarily. Often these cats have been living outside and have fleas, intestinal parasites, injury and sometimes more. Outdoor cats tend to live in colonies, and reproduce quickly and abundantly. It’s typical to find a pregnant female, or mama with kittens. 😢

SAYv “pulls” cats from animal control. We also take animals from owner surrenders, strays and transfers from other rescues (all on a case by case basis). The cats that join the are cared for initially by our foster families. Our veterinary partners evaluate, vaccinate, spay/neuter, microchip, treat kitties as needed. Foster families work hard meeting the physical and emotional needs of the cats, getting them ready to be a pet.

When they are healthy, fully vetted, socialized and ready to find a good home, some of the cats rotate into Petsmart Geneva for exposure to potential adopters. We care for our cats, in foster homes and the retail store environment, until they find their forever home.

The cats depend on us to do our best for them. Our Petsmart volunteers do cat laundry, clean, scoop p**p, provide food and water, hold/snuggle, break up skirmishes, educate, socialize, evaluate, monitor health, play, communicate with each other, secure, wash bowls and cat pans, organize, occasionally bleed, groom, interact, move cats in and out, and more! All that in a 2 hour shift! It’s a labor of love. ❤️

If you are over 18, and are interested in learning more about donating your time caring for kitties in the Geneva PetSmart, please click the link and scroll down to the no obligation application. We will contact you to discuss the role, answer questions, and together we can decide if we make a good match.

GENERAL VOLUNTEER. You'd like to be a general volunteer who helps us with our events (on-site support) and works with us through our collaboration efforts (where we step in to provide support for other organizations and shelters for events and clinics)

Gingee is our feature this week! This little lady is an orange dream: a quiet lady, beautiful golden eyes, a nice rumbling purr and a sweet little meow!

At just over a year old, she raised up her 4 kittens so well and she is ready for her furever home. If you are seeking an single cat in your home, Gingee would be so happy to fill that role! As an independent lady, she will be happy to watch nature all day while you work and snuggle up on a lap at night. She can also show off her pouncing skills with the help of a wand toy play session!

Stop over to Petsmart Geneva to visit Gingee and other adoptable cats and kittens at the store, they love the attention!

Some fruity and sweet new arrivals have landed at Petsmart Geneva! 🍒 🥭 🫚 🍑

🍒 Young Cherry is a beautiful kitten with lots of kitten energy. During cleaning she is happy to pal around with all of the other kittens, she'll require a playmate or two, filling your home with joy and laughter!

🫚 Gingee is a quiet, reserved cat believed to be around 1 year old. In her short time, she has already raised up 4 kittens and is now searching for her purrfect home filled with lots of pets and picture windows that she can watch nature through. She loves human affection and has a lovely, calming purr to offer as thanks for giving her all the pets.

🍑 Mama Peach is a beautiful Tabico cat with a wonderful temperament. She is around 2 years old but she pals around with the kittens well and truly seems to get along with everyone! She has an elegance about her that is so captivating and she loves to be admired!

On this we are featuring Paul, the sweet little man who is at Petsmart Geneva waiting for his furever home!

Paul is content most of the day enjoying naps with his lovely mama Beth and sister Christine. This lovely group was SAYved just in the nick of time by one of our wonderful fosters who took such good care of them in their time of need. They have transformed into beautiful, healthy cats with the most gentle temperaments. Paul is usually the first one out of at cleaning time, ready to stretch his legs and play with all the kittens. He is such a good sport and loves a good snuggle session with human friends as well, he'd be happy to have a nice warm lap to snuggle up on every night!

A lot of feline friendships have been made between different sets of cats and kittens here at Petsmart Geneva! Some of these friendships seemed obvious from the start, others have taken us by surprise:

🐈‍⬛ Aniyah, Huckleberry, and Blackberry are back together again for entertaining playtime! The Berry bunch and Aniyah have been growing up together with SAYv and our amazing foster network, they are waiting for their purrfect pet parents with lots of energy to burn.

🐈‍⬛ Nathan and Aries have been put together for good company now that Aries' sister Virgo has been adopted and they really complement each other so well, in personality and colorscheme both. If your home needs a fun pair of pals, these guys may be just the right fit for you.

🐈‍⬛ Mancala and Aniyah were a surprising pair for us as Mancala is a very calm mama, rarely taking part in playtime with her kittens. We've seen that she matches Aniyah's energy, and enjoys a good romp with her! If you look into either of these ladies beautiful eyes, you may not be able to say no to inviting them into your heart and home.

🐈‍⬛ Knees has been getting acclimated, and as a recent addition to the different conditions at the store, he has taken it upon himself to provide comfort and stimulation for our newest arrivals, Marble and Walter, who are still getting used to the sights, sounds, and smells. His calm, slow demeanor and round face are too precious for words, he handled the uncertain hisses and growls in the most gentle way, what a sweet gentleman!

🐈‍⬛ The mamas in the store: Beth and Mancala enjoy playing and observing the world together. While these lovely ladies did not have the greatest start to life, they have tackled their hardship and raised up beautiful kittens and they sure look good doing it. What an insipration!

All of these cats have a story that can steal your heart ❤If you are looking for a single or pair, we can help determine who would work best for your family, our group of volunteers at the store is wonderful at socializing and observing the personalities of all of the cats at the storefront.

This features Knees: an adorable tabby with an extra special story!

Knees came into SAYv with a very uncommon problem: he had luxating patellas, making him very wobbly and unsure of himself when moving around. Thanks to the help a skilled surgeon, Knees had a procedure to secure his patellas. This allowed him to move easily, although he does have a different gait than your typical cat, he can jump and get around just fine!

He has been enjoying his time at Petsmart Geneva observing the kitten antics from on top of a cat tree. He isn't a high energy wrestler (not everyone needs to be!), but he enjoys solo plays with a wand toy and lots of affection.

❤If this sweet boy has stolen your heart, apply to adopt at sayvanimals.org/adopt

🐾Want to meet him and the rest of the gang in person? Join us for CAT ENCOUNTERS every Wednesday 6:30-8:30PM and Sunday 1-3PM!

This Tuesday we are going to make it a more formal affair! 🎩🥂We are overflowing with adorable tuxedo cats and kittens at Petsmart Geneva, so we thought we could highlight their classiness on this .

🍕Mama Pizza raised up her kitten Puffs so well! She handled what was a difficult start to her life and motherhood with patience and grace. She enjoys her time out on top of a cat tree or on top of the kennels, observing the cleaning duties and kitten antics playing out below her. She is such a gentle cat who would love a home with plenty of scratches, belly rubs, and naps.

➡If you think you will be a purrfect fit for mama Pizza's furever home, apply to adopt: sayvanimals.org/adopt
