Whiskers is a social animal — she'll get along great with dogs, cats and kids. She is already spayed, and she has had all her shots. She has mastered her house-training etiquette.
Her current caretakers say:
Whiskers spends her days snoozing, assisting in the making of the bed, rolling on catnip toys, and napping on window sills. She’s an easy companion, who lets you easily trim her claws and jumps right in the carrier when asked.

Lil Bear, domestic shorthair and Turkish van mix
Lil Bear is a lovable male domestic shorthair and Turkish van mix staying at Feline Friends Chicago.
Lil Bear is a lovely family cat, and children will love him. Fear not: He's already house-trained. He is already neutered, and he has had all his shots.
Notes from his caretakers:
Lil Bear lost his home when his guardian fell on hard times and no longer had a place for him. He was born around November 2016 and is front declawed. His was probably an only pet, but is very tolerant and would probably be OK with another friendly kitty.
