Valerie

Valerie is a cat that enjoys having people around. When her foster family gets home, she meets them at the door. When they’re watching TV, or working, or reading, she often lays on the rug in the room, sometimes even showing them her seal impression with her hands and feet held up like flippers. She enjoys sitting on the back of the sofa during TV time, but she’s still getting comfortable with sitting on their laps.

She also loves to sit on the window ledge and watch the world, wondering if there are other cats like her out there. And at night, when the people are asleep, she’ll sometimes stretch out at the foot of the bed.

Valerie hopes that somewhere out there is someone who’s willing to give her the love and patience she deserves. Someone who appreciates her seal impression. Someone who wants to make sure she doesn't eat too fast, but also wants to share a little bit of their cheese, milk, or peanut butter with her. Someone who can help her become an even better cat than she already is!

Alder

Alder is a sweet and very intelligent young adult cat. He has quite a bit of energy and can creatively have fun with almost anything, though he prefers to play with his humans rather than alone. He also enjoys looking out the window and investigating things around the house. He’s not just a ball of energy though. He likes to cuddle and when picked up, he will lick his person’s face and nudge his head into theirs. He also often shows his curiosity by looking up at his people and tilting his head - almost like a puppy!

Adriana will undoubtedly flop over for belly rubs when she sees you, and just adores keeping you company. She is not necessarily a lap cat, but you will find that she is constantly nearby. She loves to sit in high places and gaze out the window, and she would love to go to her forever home today!

Winifred

Winifred has the look of a storybook heroine: big eyes, tiny face, a delicate presence… but don’t be fooled, she’s also a fierce wand-toy warrior! She plays tug-of-war with all the gusto of a terrier, and once she wins, she proudly drags the toy straight to her water bowl like a trophy.

She’s a girl who blossoms with gentle company, sometimes surprising her foster by initiating a cuddle session. And while she’ll always be remembered as an excellent mama (she raised her own kittens plus an adopted bonus baby), she’s ready to retire from motherhood and lean into being someone’s beloved companion.

Winifred is soft, playful, and full of quiet charm- the kind of cat who rewards patience with deep sweetness and delightfully quirky habits.

She is a very curious and investigative girl, her studies are currently focused on the phenomena of batting around small objects and determining what exactly a weighted blanket is.

Sabrina is an outgoing 2-year-old gal who will come up right away to say hello. She is friendly and curious, with a striking black-and-white coat and big green eyes. She is a bit of a chonk, weighing in at 13 lbs, but that just means she has an extra-big heart! She will greet you right at the door everyday when you come home and rub against your legs, purring very loudly. In fact, she is grateful for affection and begins loudly purring almost immediately. She loves everybody, and is always up for fun. While she has a mellow personality, she won't turn down any opportunities for high-energy play. Whether it's a mouse or wand toy or something new, count her in. Though she doesn't work hard, she certainly plays hard and will run around until she is out of breath.

Maisie

Maisie is a sweetheart who, once she warms up, makes it clear she’d rather not do life alone. She loves face and head scritches, happily tolerates being picked up, and spends her time in orbit around her person. Playtime is her love language: mice, springs, wand toys, you name it.

She’s also a little foodie! Wet food, salmon snacks, freeze-dried salmon, even the occasional canned tuna treat. If it smells like fish, Maisie is sold. Her foster says she doesn’t like it when they leave for work, so a home where she has company (bonus points if someone works remotely) would make her happiest.

Maisie is affectionate, playful, and secretly a little needy in the sweetest way. Give her space to come out of her shell, and you’ll have a devoted little shadow who always makes sure you know you’re loved.

She can entertain herself for hours, chasing toys and pouncing on her favorite mouse toy. She doesn’t mind being picked up, is gentle with her claws, and has the kind of easygoing personality that makes her the perfect house cat.

Because Shale is still a playful kitten, she would thrive in a home with another friendly cat or kitten to keep her company, so she always has a buddy for playtime and snuggles.

Hazel

COURTESY POST- this cat is not with Paws and Claws. Reach out to their parents if interested

Hazel is a 1.5 year old chirpy Tortie looking for her forever home. She loves nothing more than running around after her humans, playing with her rabbit wand toy, or flopping on the kitchen floor and purring happily while you make dinner.

Hazel is looking for a home where she can laze away the days in her hammock, eat allll the wet food she can persuade you to give her, and make biscuits next to you on the sofa.

Hazel will need a single pet home without any other kitties harshing her vibe, thank you very much! Hazel has juvenile gingivitis and requires regular cleaning of her pearly whites to manage her condition, (which she is very brave about)

If you think sweet Hazel could be the gal for you, contact her foster parent Kayla: mmikayrousx@gmail.com or (312) 735-7101

Dexter

Dexter the Cat: A Feisty and Playful Spirit

Dexter is a whirlwind of energy, always ready for action and adventure. Mischievous like a toddler, he turns every moment into playtime, whether he’s tossing his fluffy bat, pouncing on a stuffed dragon, or chasing the elusive laser light. His fearless nature means he faces life head-on, never hesitating to launch a sneak attack—or pull off a clever little heist.

Despite his playful antics, Dexter has a soft side. After a long session of self-entertainment, he loves nothing more than to curl up in a warm sweater, nestled against a familiar chest for a quick nap. With an affectionate demeanor and an independent streak, Dexter is truly his own man—a cat full of personality, charm, and endless energy.
Dexter would do best in a home with another cat who loves to roughhouse!

Sunday River

Have you ever dreamt of adopting a cat that really, truly talks to you? One that is SURE you understand every one of her chirps, grumbles, meows, and purrs? If so, Sunday River is the girl for you! While not a loud feline, Sunday has an entire range of vocalizations to communicate her feelings at any given moment. She absolutely loves her people and is always ready to have a deep, thought-provoking conversation with you.

An independent cat during the day, she is thrilled to occupy herself with her favorite pastimes (napping in the sun, knocking around her mice toys, exploring the house). When nighttime arrives, however, she shows her affectionate side. She'll make direct eye contact with you to let you know she's getting sleepy and is ready to cuddle up. But don't forget, she has to pick the exact right spot on the bed! This is a cat who knows what she wants.

Sunday has well-managed arthritis and as such she prefers a quiet home where she can move at the leisurely, mellow pace she's become accustomed to. She would thrive in an environment where she can be the center of attention, and there's no question she's earned it! At 9 years old, this one-of-a-kind grey fluffball has so many years of joy to look forward to. Could they be with you? Set up a meet and greet today!

He is sure to blossom into such a sweetheart. Come meet Chevrolet today!

Stork

Stork is a curious and agile guy! He loves zooming around the house chasing his favorite small felt balls, and often picks them up in his mouth to carry them to another location. His tail is another of his favorite playthings. He has figured out how to climb a ladder to the top bunk bed, where he enjoys his long quiet afternoon naps. He insists on carefully smelling people's fingers before they're allowed to pet him. Stork is also great with kids, so long as they're not too rambunctious. He is not super talkative, but does have cute little chirps and an excellent deep rumbly purr. He's a super charming and playful cat, and is very easy to fall in love with!

In their foster home, the duo are very active--they love to chase toys and explore every inch of their home. They often sleep cuddled up together, and when their foster returns home, they find them waiting to greet them right by the door. Ceramic likes to "fly" onto their human's shoulder and into their lap, while Sculpture prefers to stretch out to get pets. These two would make an excellent addition to any active home!
