Cats in Chicago looking for their furr-ever homes

Scooter is an adorable male Russian blue and domestic shorthair mix in the care of Friends of Chicago Animal Care & Control.

Scooter is happy to keep company with children, dogs or cats. He is already neutered, and he has all his shots. Fear not: he is already house-trained.

From Scooter's current caretaker:

Scooter is not a purebred cat, but he is a stunning Russian blue looking solid gray male cat. He was found in a feral cat colony during a trapping project on the south side of Chicago and is very happy to be off the streets where he can get even more human attention. Scooter loves everyone. He is a very high energy, super affectionate 6-7 month old kitten. He would do well in an active home where there are other pets, and where he can get a lot of attention. He would make a great companion for another young cat.

Josie is a darling female domestic shorthair cat staying at Chicago Cat Rescue.

Josie is gentle, and she plays well with children. Josie is already spayed and vaccinated. She's already house-trained.

Here's what Josie's friends at Chicago Cat Rescue think of her:

As you can see from her photos, our Josie is a special little girl. Josie was relinquished to a downstate pound in late winter. At the time, her ears looked like “cauliflowers,” with thickened tissue that hugged her head and enclosed her ear canals. For her health and comfort, we opted to give her a pinnectomy, which surgically removed those deformed ears. Josie is a sweet, easy going cat. Her favorite spot is wherever her foster parents happen to be, and Josie is quite clear that beds are the perfect place to cuddle. Toys are her favorite new pastime too! Quite the talker, Josie will happily share her thoughts with you on this subject and more.

Joepye is a social animal, and she loves other cats. Joepye is already spayed, and she has all her shots. She is already house-trained.

Notes from Joepye's caretakers:

Don't be fooled by Joe Pye's initial shyness. It doesn't last long. With just a pet or two, this charming little girl starts purring. She loves to give soft love bites, to encourage you not to stop! With a multicolored nose and beautifully marked tabby coat, our Joe Pye is an especially elegant looking feline.

Jamie is a male domestic shorthair and tabby mix currently housed at Feline Friends Chicago.

Jamie gets along well with other cats. He is looking for a dog-free home. Good news: he is already house-trained. He's already vaccinated and neutered.

Jamie's current caretakers say:

Jamie loves, loves snuggling. His favorite thing to hug is definitely human arms while he sleeps. Although he flees from loud noises and new people, he will always emerge for a good cuddle session. He likes curling into boxes and into corners where he feels he’s safe and lying on his back in the middle of the room when he trusts the people around, waiting for his next chance to sit next to anyone nearby. He will even forget to eat if he’s snuggled up to his favorite people.

Lily is a social animal — she's happy to keep company with kids, dogs or cats. She's mastered her house-training etiquette. Her vaccinations are already up to date, and she is spayed.

Lily's current caretakers say:

Lily is curious, playful, and affectionate, all in one neat little package! Lily is very communicative and will readily purr and meow. Her foster caregivers describe Lily as very "cat-like" in all the good ways! When not playing and entertaining you with her antics, you can find Lily curled up in the rays of the sun, or sitting with you getting petted. Lily is a delightful, sweet, playful and loving little cat who will make a welcome addition to almost any household.

Prem is an adorable male Himalayan rabbit cat currently housed at CARF: The Critical Animal Relief Foundation.

He is already vaccinated and neutered. He's mastered his house-training etiquette.

Prem's current caretakers say:

Our newest little dude really does have ears, they’re just smooshed down on his head. Prem has bilateral ear hematomas that are old and hardened. He’ll need an adopter who doesn’t mind keeping his ears clean for him. He’s about four years old and front paw declawed. He’s a sweet soul who found himself living on the streets. He’s living with other animals in his foster home but hasn’t met them yet.
