Meet Blue 💙

A little over a week ago, Anna, one of our directors and a Humane Investigator with the Department of Agriculture, received a report about a cat who had been tied up under a porch without food or water for several days.

When she arrived to investigate, she found Blue. Despite everything she had been through, Blue was happy to see friendly faces and immediately showed us what a sweet girl she is. With the assistance of the Chicago Police Department, we were able to get the homeowners to sign Blue over to us at April’s Kittens.

Imagine our surprise when we returned and discovered that Blue was microchipped to different owners. We obtained the registered owner’s information and made countless attempts to contact them. Although our messages were successfully delivered, we never received a response.

After waiting and following the proper procedures, Blue is now officially part of the April’s Kittens family.

We’re grateful she is finally safe, loved, and getting the care she deserves. Most importantly, we’re excited to help her find a true forever home where she will never have to experience neglect or mistreatment again.

Welcome to your new beginning, Blue. 💙

Meet Dizzy 💜

Dizzy spent over 1,600 days in foster care at another rescue before coming to us. That’s more than four years without a family to call her own.

This beautiful girl has the softest fur, the sweetest personality, and such a tender soul. She can be a little shy when meeting new people, but underneath that timid exterior is a loving cat who just needs someone willing to give her a little time, patience, and understanding.

Since entering foster care, Dizzy has blossomed. Every day she shows us more of the affectionate, gentle cat she’s always been. She loves being loved, she just needs someone to give her the chance.

We don’t want Dizzy to spend her entire life waiting for a forever family. She has waited long enough.

Interested in Dizzy? Reach out to us today. 🩷

Yay for May 👏🏻

Month in review: In the month of May we closed with a whopping 66 adoptions!! For only being officially open for 2 of those weeks, we’re impressed with the volume of kitties we’ve been able to place into homes 💗

We are especially grateful to the adopters that opened up their hearts to a special needs kitty— Marcus, Sawyer, Hondo, June & many more of our special kitties were given a a very deserving second chance 💕

Welp, the day finally arrived where my absolute favorite lounge kitty, Marcus, was adopted 😭😭😭Rescued from Louisiana, Ma...

Welp, the day finally arrived where my absolute favorite lounge kitty, Marcus, was adopted 😭😭😭

Rescued from Louisiana, Marcus is blind & FIV+ but we didn’t care— in fact, that’s what we loved most about him!

We are thankful to have been a part of his journey if only for a brief time, and elated that he now has a forever home & a family of his own 💞

Happy adoption day, Marcus!
