“Spot Kitty” 1 yr old social male kitty

Elissa — Sat, 24 May 2008 19:11:15 +0000

“Spot Kitty” is very social. He talks, takes treats from your hands and will follow you around. However, he is hand shy; meaning, he scoots away when you try to pet him. He loves to play, loves other cats and I have no doubt will be a complete lover someday but for now he needs a little patience – just in the petting department. Notice the cute white tip of his tail.

“Velvet Kitty” 2-3 yr old sweet black/brown cat

Elissa — Sat, 24 May 2008 19:04:50 +0000

Velvet Kitty kept coming up to us when we were trapping. She obviously wants a home. She is a little timid but purrs and needs with her paws as soon as you start petting her. She has soulful eyes and some old wounds from living in the alley. She will make a best friend for someone!

Kittens available (at Tree House soon)

Sifu is a 1 year old male. He can be somewhat hyper when playing but he is very affectionate and loving.

“Chongo Kitty” 1 yr old sweet male

Elissa — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 21:08:05 +0000

This guy is very curious, loves other cats and playing! He needs a good home. He is neutered. He is a little nervous but loves attention. He is isn’t comfortable being petted on his head (like scratching under chin or side) but loves being petted on back. “Chongo” translates as “Monkey” and he is a little monkey.

“Cookie” 4 Month old female

Elissa — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 20:56:09 +0000

Now at Tree House Animal Foundation named “Celery”. She reminded us of cookies and cream. She loves being petted and other cats. She is timid but very curious. She just needs patience. This is not a good picture – she is very cute and soft!

A perfect pair! Princess & Lucky

Elissa — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 18:34:32 +0000

Adopted. Princess is sweet, outgoing, comes when called. Lucky is still timid but if you seek him out he likes being petted. Their playtime can get wild and it is fun to watch them roll around. They are kittens. They will need training (curiosity leads them onto counters, etc.) but both deserve a happy home. Both are litterbox trained. Let us know if you are interested!

19,701 dogs and cats were euthanized in Chicago in 2006. Really. Think about 19,701 dogs and cats JUST in Chicago. And, that number is down from years past.

PLEASE Spay and Neuter. Please support TRAP, NEUTER and RETURN or TNR!

October 16 is National Feral Cat Day

Learn more from the most respected group, Alley Cat Allies, at: http://www.nationalferalcatday.org/

TNR stops reproduction and gradually reduces feral cat populations.

TNR improves and extends the lives of feral cats.

TNR is effective, humane, and does not cost much.

TNR is a proven plan that just makes good sense.
