You may have tried automatic litterboxes in the past (we sure have,) but there is no comparing the dinky rake litterboxes to THE Litter Robot.

Seriously, multiple of our foster have them and swear by them. They’re great in both single cat and multicat homes, can be used with any clumping litter of your choosing, it tracks your cats weight and bathroom habits on a handy app on your phone helping you catch medical issues sooner, all while keeping your house smelling fresh and clean since it automatically cycles after EVERY TIME your cat uses the lou.

The downside? They’re $700! But just $25 for a ticket in our High Stakes raffle gives you a 1/200 chance to get a brand new Litter Robot 4 shipped directly to your house. So whatcha waiting for? Try your luck! You don’t have odds like that playing the Illinois Lottery. 😉

Don’t have $700+ to buy one? Well lucky day! Our raffle is only $25 a ticket and gives you a chance to have the fanciest litterbox around while support your favorite local cats.

GUESS WHO IS HOME????

You guys are absolutely phenomenal!! Sheldon is back is in foster home and on a very specialized diet to try and get him to rebound.

So far he’s eating at home. His struggle isn’t over and he still has some major milestones to go but we just want to say THANK YOU!!! It is YOU GUYS that saved his life.

Fostering or volunteering isn’t always possible but each and every one of you came together and fought for Sheldon by donating and hopefully he is going to have many many more years ahead.

OHHHHH MYYYYYY DAYYYYYYYYS.

She was our longest serving cat, everyone who came to visit the shelter knew her. She was the Queen of the Cat Room and of all of our hearts.

After 2 years and 4 days in our shelter PHOEBE WAS ADOPTED!!!

Phoebe originally came in after giving birth to 6 babies on someone’s deck. She had a bad reaction to her initial vaccine, twisted and herniated her back resulting in being paralyzed from the waist down. We did everything for Phoebe including chiropractic adjustments, acupuncture and steroid treatment. And FINALLY Phoebe learnt to walk again. 🥰

She came to the cat room and prefers her own company so has never really showed well, also as a mother with a bad back (we’ve all been there!) she only liked affection on her terms. Everyone has a story about Phoebe. Kelly accidentally took her to an event once as Phoebe sneaked into a carrier and had a whole day out! Krystal found Phoebes love for Churus and got her more sociable with people and Maggie used Phoebe for portrait shots in the cat room and made her the face of many posters 🥰

She has become part of our family and TODAY a former adopter with a heart of gold realized Phoebes potential and came to take her home.
There wasn’t a dry eye in the shelter.

Congratulations Phoebe on your beautiful new home and new family.

WE DID IT!!!! 12 hours later, 5 team members of St Sophia’s, 3 cars full, sooo many amazing Chicago Animal Control staff, our partners at Best Friends, 4 hours of paperwork back at our shelter, vaccinating, weighing, deworming and getting them into our system, countless foster families that are INVALUABLE to our program, and…THIRTY FOUR CATS AND KITTENS SAVED saved from CACC today!!We couldn’t do this without any of you 🐾

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
