Saving lives and building community

6 out of 7 of our CLAWS cats have been adopted this weekend, which is absolutely amazing! We are SO happy that these cats found their people and got the chance to head home.

That leaves one little guy still waiting: BBQ. He doesn’t always put on a big show when people come to meet him. He’s perfectly content curling up in a cozy bed and just vibing. Don’t get us wrong, he definitely has his playful, energetic one-year-old moments, too. But if there’s one thing BBQ loves most, it’s a good nap.

BBQ is still waiting for his person at our Cat Adoption Center at 829 Chicago Ave in Evanston. 💙 Come meet this sweet, laid-back boy!

And there’s even more to celebrate: October 2026 is officially our biggest adoption month yet, with 103 cats finding loving homes!!! 🎉

We ended the workday at 101 adoptions, but that evening, one of our fosters finalized the paperwork to officially adopt their kittens. And just like that… 103!!!!🥹💙

BBQ and Chervil are part of our 7 CLAWS cats (Cats Looking for Adoption Wins), and their adoption fees will be waived at our Halloween adoption events this Friday and Saturday!

They absolutely love other cats! They don’t need to go home together, but they’d each make a wonderful companion for both their people and any feline friends at home.

Come meet these handsome boys and help them find the loving homes they’ve been waiting for! Adoption surveys can be found at www.pawsandclawscatrescue.org/adoptable-cats

Have you checked out our snazzy new adoptables website yet? It’s easier than ever to browse by adults, kittens, and even bonded duos to find your future best friend.

Boy, Candy Corn is a force to be reckoned with! We shared a few weeks ago how Candy Corn arrived at our shelter partner—wet and sick—and she’s a completely different cat now. She’s a ball of energy and is keeping her foster family on their toes!

These days, Candy Corn is busy showing off her personality. She loves belly rubs, gallops around the house looking to be chased, and has developed a talent for snatching kitchen towels. And after some zoomies, she’s more than happy to curl up on a chest and melt into someone’s arms.

She’s available for adoption and one lucky family will be able to call her theirs! Submit an adoption survey at www.pawsandclawscatrescue.org/adoptable-cats
