ROMEO…is a sweet BLACK PERSIAN. He is around 2 years old, neutered and has his claws. He weighs around 7 pounds and he has a silky, full coat, nice “doll” face and bright gold eyes. Romeo and another cat were left at an Indiana shelter when their owner could no longer keep them. He starts off as a shy, easily frightened kitty who blossomed in foster care and is now a total lap cat for his foster folks. He can often be found flipped on his back begging to have his tummy combed (he LOVES GROOMING!!) and is a very affectionate and loving little boy. But he startles easily and needs to have a quiet, adult home where he always feel safe enough to be someone’s best lap cat! Romeo is fine with other easy-going, non-dominant cats that will not bully him. No small kids or dogs please. Adoption fee $150. FOSTERED IN KENOSHA, WI.

DRIFT…is a wonderful BROWN TABBY AND WHITE MAINE COON MIX. He is around 1 year old, neutered and has his claws. As you can see by his photo, he is an incredible rack of magnificent white whiskers, which accent his handsome face, tufted ears and wide green eyes. He weighs over 10 solid pounds and will probably be bigger as he matures. Drift earned his name by having been found in a snow drift by a snow plow driver in Milwaukee. The driver saw the cat being beaten by a teenager on the side of the road. The teenager threw Drift into the snow and the driver immediately pulled over and took him to the local animal control. We received him shortly afterwards as the shelter staff was so impressed by his sweet nature after all he had been through! Drift is now comfortably ensconced in a loving foster home and BOY is he a NICE CAT! Who on earth could abuse such a sweet creature is completely beyond our understanding! Just take a look at his video below and you will see what we mean! Drift is a social, intensely affectionate cat who just lives to be loved! Pet him, talk to him, cuddle him…he’s just happy as a clam! He is currently being fostered with three other cats and gets along with them absolutely fine. Drift is good with grooming and will only get more handsome as he matures and his coat fills out with good nutrition. Because of what happened to him before, Drift starts out a bit shy with strangers. But once he figures out you are friendly, he’s the boy you see in the video below! The best home for this sweet boy would probably be quiet and not have any small children or active dogs. He would be a great companion kitty for another young cat. He is playful and just FUN to have around! Mixed breed adoption fee $125. FOSTERED IN KENOSHA, WI.

LUNA…is a lovely WHITE PERSIAN FROM EGYPT. She is 4 years old, spayed, has her claws and weighs around 7 pounds. She has an easy, silky white coat, bright pink nose and luminous gold eyes (on a very nice “doll” face…no maintenance here!

Luna is one of 6 cats we recently took in from our partnering organization in Egypt (www.esmaegypt.org ). She is a vibrant, happy girl who is quite active and playful for a Persian, but again she is a youngster and has a lot of energy to spare! Luna loves toys, attention and plenty of activity in that order! She is fine with other cats, though being a female she can be somewhat dominant at times, so another easy-going non-dominant cat or cats would be optimal. These cats from Egypt tend to be frightened of dogs, but we have placed one or two in homes with very calm, easy-going dogs and they have done fine. Luna would be a good companion kitty for another active kitten and would probably be ok with older, respectful kids (she would get too overstimulated with smaller ones). Luna has a slight scar on her left eye that doesn’t affect her in any way and is probably from an old injury. Our vet checked it out and was completely unconcerned. Luna would be great for someone new to the breed looking for an easy Persian! Adoption fee $150. FOSTERED IN RACINE, WI.

LEO…is a charismatic SEAL POINT SIAMESE FROM EGYPT. He is neutered, 1 year old, weighs about 8.5 pounds and has all of his claws. He has a light coat that will darken a bit yet in the next year, gorgeous ice blue eyes and a very lean and muscular body. Leo came from our Egyptian partner rescue (www.esmaegypt.org) and is so happy to have been given the chance to own his very special person. Leo is a super intense little man. He wants to be near and with his human ALL OF THE TIME. He makes his intentions very clear as his demanding voice vibrates throughout the entire house when he hears his foster mom come home. “Please come be with me! I want to be on your lap and kissing your nose and chin!” Leo is the ultimate lap guy. He wants to be touched and held close and commands it. His intense nature requires that his new person have experience with these emotions and be able to establish a bond and control that allows Leo to relax. He is strongly an alpha-kitty, and as such he must be an only cat but will fulfill all that his human wants in contact, affection and entertainment. He is too intense for children though would probably be okay with a confident and respectful dog. A home experienced with Siamese, Bengals and/or Abyssianians will be preferred. Adoption fee of $150. Fostered in Oshkosh, WI.

LEOPOLD…is a handsome RED PERSIAN. He is between 2 and 3 years old, weighs around 10 pounds, is neutered and has his claws. He has a medium-care, full, thick coat in bright orange, nice “doll” face and bright gold eyes. What a friendly, happy fellow this feline is! As you can see by his video below, Leo is quite the charmer! He came to us originally from a shelter in Milwaukee where he had been left when his people moved. He was then adopted to a family that took good care of him but were not quite prepared for what a long-haired cat requires, so he is back with us looking for his FURREVER home! Leo is sociable and friendly and usually makes himself at home pretty quickly in a new environment. He is moderately active, loves to be where ever his people are and would be good with respectful older kids. He would probably be ok with a cat-friendly dog as well. Leo has roomed with several other cats and gets along fine with others though he does tend to be a bit dominant (he really feels he should get ALL the attention). He is good about grooming and LOVES his food and could stand to lose maybe 2 pounds to be optimal weight. He needs a high-quality diet (well all cats do…let’s be fair about this) to do well and folks who will accept his maintenance needs as a long-haired cat. Adoption fee $150. FOSTERED IN KENOSHA, WI.

NATASHA… is a sweet BLUE EXOTIC SHORTHAIR FROM EGYPT. She is between 2 and 3 years old, spayed, and has her claws. She weighs around 7 pounds. She has a plush, silky short steel gray coat and enormous gold eyes. Natasha comes to us from our partnering organization in Egypt (www.esmaegypt.org ) and is doing well in her new country! As you can see by her video below, Natasha is a friendly, happy little girl who is as easy to love as she is to care for. She is playful and active and gets along very well with her current Persian roommates. She enjoys petting and adapts quickly to new environments. Plus she is just plain CUTE!!! Natasha would be fine with respectful older kids and maybe a gentle dog that would ignore her. She would be a good cat for someone looking for a flatter faced cat without the maintenance! FOSTERED IN KENOSHA, WI. Adoption fee $150.

LUCY…is a VERY sweet BLUE PERSIAN. She is around 2 years old, spayed and 4 paw declawed. She weighs around 7 pounds and her smokey-gray, thick coat is currently growing out of a neat lion cut. She has a flat little face and bright gold eyes. Lucy was brought into a local Wisconsin shelter as a miserable stray. Her coat was horribly matted to her skin and she was very thin and scared. Imagine running around outside with NO claws at all! Fortunately she transferred to rescue immediately and we had her cleaned up and feeling better in no time! Lucy is a VERY nice kitty! Wow, what can we say…she’s just that nice! She is currently being fostered in a multi-cat environment and she gets along perfectly well with any and all. She is quite social, friendly, and nobody is a stranger. Since she is younger she is a bit more active and would be a good companion kitty for another active Persian or Himalayan. Lucy adapts quickly to new situations and loves being pet, fussed over and probably brushed once her coat grows in. She has a thick, cottony coat so a family familiar with the maintenance needs of a cat like this will be preferred so she never winds up the way she did when she first came in! Respectful kids and a cat-friendly dog would be fine. Adoption fee $175. FOSTERED IN GURNEE, IL.

CECE… is a lovely SEAL POINT RAGDOLL. She is around 5 years old, spayed and front declawed. She is a full, medium-length coat in chocolates and cream, big blue eyes and an enormous rack of whiskers…4 inches long! CeCe was adopted out from us a while ago but a child in the home became very allergic to Cece had to come back. The family absolutely adored this cat so they were heartbroken when they had to make the decision! Cece is a structurally BIG 12 pounds. Her foster mom describes her with her previous family as, “She is very friendly, loves kids and would race around the house playing with their cocker spaniel! She would snooze with him in the sun when they were done with playing.” Cece is mild-mannered, affectionate and really needs to be AN ONLY CAT, as she is NOT fond of others of her species! But a nice dog and children to play with would be grand! Adoption fee $200. FOSTERED IN MADISON, WI.

SADIE…is a darling BLACK AND WHITE LONG HAIRED MUNCHKIN. She is spayed, has her claws and weighs around 9 pounds. She has a medium to long-haired coat in pretty contrasts of black and white (LOOK at the poofy tail!), a very cute black nose and lovely light green eyes. She has short little legs like all Munchkins but it sure doesn’t slow her down! Sadie came to us from a home where she was being continually harrassed by a dog. She settled quickly into foster care and is doing extremely well in a DOG-FREE zone! Her foster mom reports that she is an extremely loving, sweet cat who adores being held and sitting on laps. Despite her short legs, Sadie gets around every where a cat with “regular” legs would go and is quite agile. She gets along fine with other cats that would not bully or dominate her and would LOVE a quiet home where she could get a lot of doting and cuddling. Sadie is around 8 years old and has been thoroughly vet-checked and received a shiny clean bill of health! This tends to be a healthy breed and she could easily have another decade of love to give! No small kids or dogs please. Mature adoption fee $80. FOSTERED IN DEPERE, WI.

CHERISH…is a lovely BROWN TABBY (coloration) MANX. She is spayed and has her claws. She is 7 to 8 years old and has seen her share of bad luck, living in an abusive home for several years. Stalking a feather, batting a stuffed mouse and occasionally chasing her no-existent tail are some of her favorite pastimes. She is a champion lap sitter, providing her own musical score as she purrs along with the petting. Cherish also enjoys helping with your computer work, as a mouse is a mouse after all! She is a very clean little girl: after exiting the litter box or before she eats, she cleans her paws on her scratch pad. While not a vocal cat, she will chirp and chur when something – an empty dinner bowl or a dirty little box – needs some attention. Adjusting to her new home will take her some time, based on her past abusive situation. Cherish would like to have a safe room for a few days while she explores the rest of the living arrangements. She is adaptive girl, playing with children and enjoying large groups of people while in her foster home. She would, however, be best suited to be the single animal in the home. Mature adoption fee $80. FOSTERED IN WEST BEND, WI.

FRANNIE… is a vibrant, BROWN TABBY (coloration) PERSIAN. She is spayed, has her claws, is about 5 years old and weighs 8 pounds. Frannie has an absolutely luscious coat in deep brown/black and bright, fiery burnt orange. The camera just didn’t do justice to how stunning her thick and easy coat is in person! Frannie has quite the flat face with a little pug nose and lemon gold eyes. During her vet visit the tech couldn’t stop giggling and commented that she looked like Jay Leno…and, well…she DOES! She has a large, furrowed forehead and protruding chin that mooshes her eyes so she looks like she is squinting much of the time! Her breathing remains pretty free and her eyes have minimal drainage despite her “cwanky look”. Frannie is generally calm and friendly with just a little bit of chattiness thrown in for good measure. She is ONE OF THE REASONS THAT WE MICROCHIP. Frannie was recently dumped at a humane society by someone who got her from the person who adopted Frannie from us less than 2 years ago. Poor Frannie…yet again…dumped. (But, because she was microchipped back to SPCR we were able to swoop in and pull her from the shelter’s cage.) When she came to us the first time, she had been dropped off at a groomer’s salon and her owner never came back to pick her up! We have never known why. Frannie has been easy in foster care; her coat makes you want to bury your face in it and is easy to groom. She enjoys petting and attention. She’s docile and low-key. She is okay with another kitty who would ignore her and the same would likely be true for a dog. Older, respectful kids would be okay too. Apply ONLY if you will be her last and forever home. Adoption fee $150. FOSTERED IN OSHKOSH, WI.

MAJA…is a unique SEAL POINT SNOWSHOE SIAMESE. She is around 3 years old, spayed, has her claws and weighs 9 to 10 pounds. She has a very pretty, interesting coat pattern of seal point colored CIRCLES on both sides, surrounded by pure white! Her tail is pure chocolate brown as are the splotches on color on her slim face, highlighted by bright blue eyes. Maja came to us from a Chicago shelter with no real history other than being “unwanted.” She is a very friendly, sociable girl, as you can see by her video below, and has been a lovely cat to foster. Maja is obviously listed as a Special Needs cat because she has one ear that was damaged in the past, probably from a previous ear infection that was never treated. As a result, the outer part of her ear is scarred down over the opening. When she came to us we had her ear flushed and treated and it is currently fine. But her new people are going to have to keep the ear canal clean and be watchful for any other mild ear infections that may occur. She is currently NOT on any medications. She is otherwise perfectly healthy. Maja is not talkative and is moderately active and playful. She does not mind being held and she loves to be around her people. She would probably be ok with a cat-friendly dog and older respectful kids as she adores attention. She would probably love to be the one and only cat in the household but another easy-going cat that would ignore her and allow her to be the Queen Kitty would be ok too! She would be an excellent Siamese for someone new to the breed! Special Needs Adoption fee $80. FOSTERED IN KENOSHA, WI.

CLEMENTINE…is a darling SILVER PERSIAN. She is spayed, 4 paw declawed, just had a full dental done and weighs around 7 pounds. Her silvery white coat is currently shaved into a neat lion cut and she has enormous electric-green eyes! Clementine came to us from someone who found her and could no longer keep her. She had a pretty rough life from what we could tell, but boy is she loving a stable home! Her foster mom reports,” She is sweet, purrs all the time, makes happy feet constantly, and LOVES her glitter balls! She is quite playful, has that funny, almost silent meow. She’s not a lap cat, but will follow you around wherever you go, and sit next to you purring and asking for pets.” What a sweet heart!

Clemmie does fine with other cats that will not bully or dominate her and would probably be ok with an older dog taht would ignore her. She is about 9 years YOUNG and the vet gave her a sparkling clean bill of health! She has many years of love to give that special person who has experience with the maintenance needs of Persians or Himmies with thick, cottony coats. Mature Adoption fee $80.

RASCAL…is a delightful SEAL POINT SNOWSHOE SIAMESE. He is 5 years old, neutered and front declawed and weighs around 10 pounds. He has absolutely gorgeous markings in chocolate and cream, with of course the cute white feet and splashes of white on his face which emphasize his bright blue eyes. Rascal was adopted from us about a year ago to a person who took very good care of him but developed serious health issues and could no longer care for a pet. Rascal’s doting foster mom is quick to say that Rascal is one of the best cats she has ever fostered as he has “an AMAZING personality!” She says, “Rascal is a very playful and active cat. He plays and plays but always has time to stop and give me a loving head bump!” His motor is always set in the “on” position and you couldn’t ask for a more friendly feline. Rascal would do best in a household that would provide him with lots of love and interaction. Respectful kids would be just fine and another friendly cat would be SUPER! A calm dog would be ok too.

OSCAR …is a SWEET BLACK AND WHITE BICOLOR PERSIAN. He is is around 4 years old, neutered and front declawed and weighs about 7 pounds. He has an easy, silky black coat and bright pale gold eyes. Oscar came to us as an owner surrender when his person became seriously ill and could no longer care for him. It was a very difficult situation for both Oscar, who was very attached, and his person, who was very upset about having to let him go. However Oscar has settled well into foster care and is a delightful cat to care for! You may notice that we list him as a black and white bicolor, but that’s because the ONLY small patches of white on him are on the tips of his back toes and a slight bit on his chest! Very cute! As you can see by his video below, Oscar is a loving, gentle, sweet boy who will be a wonderful companion kitty for whomever is lucky enough to get him! His coat is relatively easy, making him a good choice for someone new to the breed PLUS he likes to be brushed and combed. He is quite social, affectionate and attentive and follows his foster mom all around looking for attention. He has not been around small kids but respectful older ones might be ok. He is absolutely fine with other cats that will not harrass or dominate him. Dogs would probably be too much. Don’t miss out on this NICE BOY! Adoption fee $150. FOSTERED IN KENOSHA, WI.
