Providing Temporary Care for Cats in Transition Our Purpose:

(81)
Sophia's Forgotten Felines is a foster-based cat rescue serving DuPage, Cook and surrounding Chicagoland communities. Sophia's strives to be the best in temporary care for cats in transition, whether abandoned, abused or surrendered. More than 6,000 cats have been rescued, rehabilitated and found forever homes with St. Visit the organization's new adoption center, located at 525 W Roosevelt Rd in
Wheaton, or check out www.stsff.org for more details on available cats, foster information and volunteer opportunities.! Our Cats:
Our cats come to us through transfers from high-kill shelters. We work closely with Cook and DuPage county animal controls, along with other animal controls throughout the state to give unwanted cats a second chance. We pride ourselves in taking the time and effort to determine what is best for each cat that comes into our care. We are a no-kill and all of our cats are fully vetted (altered, vaccinated, and microchipped) prior to adoption. If you are interested in adopting your new family member, you've come to the right place! Our People:
The Board Members of St. Sophia’s Forgotten Felines have over 25 years of service in feline welfare combined. They come from various backgrounds including marketing, publishing, business, web-design, librarianship, and more.

Reminder: we still have our foster referral program is still active, and if you sign up from Facebook or Instagram, one of our social media team members will just split credit!
Sponsored through a Grant from Best Friends No-Kill Network, St. Sophia's is happy to announce our new Foster Referral and Foster Incentive Programs!
New fosters will start the date that they sign their first foster contract and take in their first kitties.
PLEASE share this with your friends, family, and communities -- the more fosters we have, the more lives we can save!

Thank you to Dave for the trailer, our friends, family and supporters for the endless supply of candy and caffeine, our cat caretakers for being epically amazing. And a huge shout out to all our fosters who braved traffic and storms to bring their babies out to the event. IT TAKES A VILLAGE!!!

As yall know it’s KITTEN SEASON!!! As well as getting all our cats and kittens ready for adoption and the medical bills involved we’re also dealing with the “weaning stage”. This is when the kittens STOP feeding from mama and start eating on their own and this comes with some problems in shelter life. The kittens are no longer recieving mamas immunity through her milk and they start building up their own immune systems. We help them by getting them vaccinated BUT, just like when you send your kiddos off to kindergarten, they start to pick up all types of sniffles, colds and coughs.
Not just that but as a NO KILL SHELTER, we get 99% of our cats from partnering Animal Controls. These animal controls are HIGH KILL. When kittens are sick they are considered high risk and so are likely to be euthanized. We basically swoop in and grab ‘em as all they need is antibiotics and they have a really strong shot at life 🥰
Now we have an amazing medical team on hand who volunteer their time for free but what we don’t get for free is MEDICINE.
We’re looking to order some Convenia. This is an antibiotic shot rather than forcing an oral solution down their throats twice a day and is invaluable to keeping our babies safe and healthy.
Unfortunately it’s going to cost us nearly $1000
Due to a warm winter, we’ve had a really hard kitten season. Literally hundreds of kittens have passed through our doors and kitten colds are rife. With your help our medical team can use Convenia to quickly and effectively treat our babies.
As always thank you for your help!!!

Siblings Suave and Dove are still patiently waiting for their very own forever home. These sweet little sixteen week old babies were born in our care and have been ready for adoption for a month now, watching all their siblings go home, wondering when it will be their turn.
These cuties were originally available separately, but as you can see they’ve become absolutely inseparable and now need to find a home together.
Dove is gentle and sweet. She enjoys just relaxing and lounging around and to join you in bed to calmly snuggle while you watch Netflix. She does have a playful side though, and her favorite toy is her brother Suave. You’ll see her rough and tumble side come out as they wrestle in a giant ball of fur. Suave, on the other hand, is larger than life, both physically and metaphorically. This chunky boy is super friendly and when he isn’t curled up snuggling with his sister, Dove, loves to follow his humans around the house. He adores being held and kissed and makes the cutest cooing noises.
If you’re interested in these two perfect babies please put in an application at stsff.com

Uggie is the sweetest love bug who has been on such a difficult journey to find her new forever home. She ended up at st Sophia’s after her owner passed and she struggled to eat. However now she is healthy and ready for a second chance at happiness! This girl is so mellow and sweet. She would love to sit and watch tv all evening and get brushed. Her favorite place to be is perched at the top of a cat tree taking it all in. She doesn’t mind other cats with a proper introduction and she does well with kids especially ones who like to brush cats. Don’t miss out on this sweetheart, she will fill your home with so much love!

Getting set up for one of our kitten adoption events!! It’s all hands on deck!!!
For whatever reason I couldn’t share this video on the original post. But wanted everyone to see how this whole family looked just a week ago.
Do you ever find yourself wanting a cat that tends to walk like it’s been drinking a bit too much on a Friday night? Well… you’re in luck! We have a few of the best CH kitties around! What’s CH? Cerebellar hypoplasia, sometimes called wobbly cat syndrome, is a congenital condition in cats that is neither contagious nor progressive. CH affects the cerebellum of the kittens, which is the area of the brain that controls fine motor movement, balance and coordination. The affected cats often have noticeable symptoms from birth, which range from mild signs of head bobbing and high stepping to more severe signs like tremors and the inability to walk. (These guys have a very mild case so are totally mobile, just a little wobbly *see video of Weeble*)A common misconception is that these cats may be in pain. Cats and kittens with CH can lead a very normal, happy, and healthy life. It does not affect their life expectancy and many adapt exceedingly well to their disability. If you find yourself lucky enough to welcome one of these lovely cats into your life we’re positive your life will be forever changed for the better!Learn more about our current CH cats (Violette, Dash, Weeble & Zara) and to adopt at www.stsff.org
Dozens of cats for you to meet and/or take home from now until 12 PM tomorrow! Come on by!
24 hour adoption event has started and first adoption in the books! Enjoy your forever home, Sheila!
