Here is my story about Kermit.
First, he is not named after a frog, he is named after Kermit Ruffins, the New Orleans Jazz trumpeter, because he hit me as one cool cat when I first met him at a South Side open admission shelter.
@Next Stop Home Chicago assisted with fostering him until we had a spot and helped him through being sick from the stress of the shelter. The resident kitty wasnât happy with his all out play style.
So it was time for Kermit to get snipped, and transition into the cat adoption center. He needed zero recovery time, and he didnât miss a beat with food. The boy is always hungry.
He walks with intent and all the confidence in the world. Everyone wants to pet him. Well, he was really swatting and giving harder love bites than we would like. Our best junior volunteer, Dylan, was set to come in with her mom, and we were a bit concerned. Dylan is a young girl who is probably one of the most cat savvy humans I have met. She just sat with him in his room and watched her iPad. Guess what, so did he. He was fine.
We decided to make sure to not pet him and let him decide if he wanted to jump on our laps, and use wand toys to engage play. He was fine with that.
Heâs super cute. He has a thick body structure with dense fur especially his tail. He is young (1 year), but has chubby cheeks as though he was intact male for a long time. His fur has more gold that orange color.
Today, one of our crew members, Pat, suggested that he may be a British Shorthair mix. Well, I had to look that up, because I donât really know cat or dog breeds and am not a fan of labels in general, but.......the description especially of his behavior and coat was spot on.
So, we knighted him, and he is now known as Sir Kermit.

HISTORY:
Jerry and his brother Ben were adopted out from a partner rescue as kittens. When their owner had to enter an assisted living facility we welcomed them into our program.
ABOUT:
Jerry and his brother Ben are two handsome, calm, large boys. They have lived every minute of their lives together so we will require that they be adopted together. They are both on the shy side and they rely on each other when they are nervous. Jerry is the more outgoing brother and is the first to be brave enough to appreciate your attention. Like his brother Ben, Jerry is full of purrs and headbutts once he gets to know you. Jerry might be scared at first, but he slowly can be won over with some head scratches and might even take a step towards you for more. One of their feline foster siblings isnât always appreciative of their presence so the boys are separated from the resident cats. Their foster mom spends a lot of time with them and sleeps in their room a few evenings each week. On those nights both boys jump up onto the bed to sleep with her. They also greet her at the door with meows and head butts, especially at feeding time. While one of the resident cats doesnât appreciate them, the boys are very friendly towards her the few times they have met. The second resident cat loves to go for âvisitsâ to Ben and Jerryâs room and they will all lay together and groom each other. If Jerry gets scared he chooses to run and hide and never lashes out or gets angry. Ben and Jerry previously lived with a senior dog, and would likely adapt well to a calm dog. Jerry and Benâs foster mom said they will make great companions for anyone lucky enough to adopt them!

HISTORY:
Flurry was surrendered with his housemate Dibs to an open admission animal control facility.
ABOUT:
Flurry is a handsome, affectionate, young adult cat. Flurry knows how good looking he is and spends all the necessary time primping to keep up his good looks. Like all long haired cats, any adoptive home should expect to spend some time brushing Flurry to prevent matting. Flurry loves attention and doesnât mind being held or carried. He loves to be close to people and will make himself comfortable on your lap or chest if it is available. Being a young adult, Flurry still has a playful side and enjoys playing with catnip toys and crinkle balls. To prove his adaptability Flurry quickly got used to the resident dog and is now completely comfortable around her. Flurry is also getting acquainted with the resident cat and he is very friendly in those meetings. Flurry will need to be adopted into a home with another frequently available playmate, be it a dog, a cat, or a child!

HISTORY:
Dibs was surrendered with his housemate Flurry to an open admission animal control facility.
ABOUT:
Dibs is a low maintenance, fun, curious, and friendly young guy. When youâre around Dibs loves to be your buddy and loves to have some attention, but if youâre busy he can entertain himself by looking out the window or scaling the cat tree to perch on the highest level. Dibs learned that dogs are friends very fast so he would likely do great in a home with a friendly dog. He also loves his buddy Flurry and is trying to win over the resident cat too. Dibs should be adopted into a home with a buddy to play with. That could be another cat, a friendly dog, or a child. Dibsâ curious nature might get him in a bit of trouble from time to time, but he promises to be very sorry.

HISTORY:
Barney was an owner surrender to a vet clinic. His previous owners refused to groom him and it was causing medical issues.
ABOUT:
If youâre looking for an easy going pup, whoâs dog and cat friendly, Barney is your boy. This senior Shih Tzu mix is as low key as they come. His two favorite things are his dog bed and blanket, and heâs an expert napper. He especially appreciates if he has a dog bed in multiple rooms of the house, so he can curl up no matter where he is. He walks well on a leash and is interested but polite if other dogs approach him. He currently lives in a home with other low key dogs and does wonderfully with them. Barney LOVES his food and treats and would be sure to never miss a meal. His unique appearance makes him extra endearing and his underbite could win awards. When heâs not napping or eating, âBarnacleâ likes to interrupt Netflix time by loudly lapping from the water bowl.

HISTORY:
Jason was brought as a stray to a Chicago Animal Control facility.
ABOUT:
Jason is a low energy dog with simple demands. Jason loves to be with his people and will follow you from room to room. He loves to be pet, but he does not need constant attention, he just wants to be where you are. He loves to sit near you or next to you on the couch, but never asks to sit on your lap. He will cry to be invited onto the bed but generally chooses to sleep down near your legs or even a bit away from you. If youâve been busy all day he will come over and whine a bit for you to scratch his head or rub his belly, but his demands temporary and easily fulfilled. Jason has been fostered with two large dogs and has met multiple small dogs. Heâs well behaved with other dogs, but isnât much for interacting with them. He would be most happy as an only dog, or living with other calm dogs who are more into coexisting than interacting with him. Be warned, he will glare at you if you spend too much time petting another dog. Heâs a sensitive guy who gets his feelings hurt easily. Jason is not a one-person type of dog, but he does like to get to know people before they do more intimate handling with him. Jason is particularly fond of women, but guys are ok too. Jason likes to listen to himself talk while you are away so he will be best in a detached home, or an apartment with thick walls. Jason is low energy and loves to sleep most of the day, but he is up in a snap if you leave the room or sound like youâre going to do something fun. He likes to be chased around a little bit but once heâs done its back to his bed for a nap. Jason has met a kitten and a feisty adult cat. He was very friendly and appropriate with both. He was intrigued by the kitten, but completely disinterested in the adult cat. We are pretty sure he is cat-friendly.

HISTORY:
Candyâs owner surrendered her during a CRISP (https://www.crispchicago.com/) shift because their landlord decided to no longer allow pets.
ABOUT:
Introducing Candy: The family pet extraordinaire! She is being fostered with two little girls (2 and 6 years) and she loves them! She likes to be picked up, carried, snuggled, and played with. She even takes it in stride when they get a little wound up and rowdy. Candy is housetrained and always goes potty when brought outside. She is a flexible lady and will also use potty pads when offered to her, which can come in very handy on cold days or when you might be gone a little bit longer. Her foster home does not crate Candy while they are gone and she respects all the household possessions. She does initially whine for a few minutes when they leave, but she quickly settles in and waits for them to return. Candy is being fostered with two cats who she pays no attention to. Candy doesnât seem to be a big fan of other dogs so she should be adopted as an only dog. She does have early-onset cataracts which limit her vision a bit. She goes down stairs a bit more slowly and doesnât see very well in low-light. Candyâs ideal home would have ample time for snuggling. They also should be able to appreciate her super awesome mohawk.
Candyâs foster family is afraid that she might be a Mogwai (from the Gremlins movies), so they suggest never feeding her after midnight.

HISTORY:
Atlas was a stray brought to an animal control facility on Chicagoâs south side. Due to his fears he was not a candidate for direct adoption. He remained with that organization for 11 months.
ABOUT:
Atlas finds the world to be very big and kind of scary. We thought about DNA testing him but are afraid it will come back âhalf dog-half chickenâ, and THEN what would we do with him? Atlasâ fears are mostly around new environments and experiences. He is the most fearful outside as it is constantly changing and never predictable. One of the biggest things that helps Atlas feel more comfortable is having a confident dog around for him to watch and mirror. It makes such a remarkable difference that we will require him to be adopted into a home with at least one other dog, but would love if he was adopted into a multiple-dog household. He is great with every dog he has met. His foster home regularly dog-sits and he has been great with big dogs, small dogs, senior dogs, and annoying dogs...you name it, he likes them. He is very passive and never corrects another dog, so he could possibly be bullied by overly assertive dogs. The more dogs around, the more confident and relaxed Atlas is. Due to the outside world being one of Atlasâ biggest fears we will also require that he has a very secure fenced yard of any size. It is required for security and his emotional well being and not for space. Atlas is accepting of strangers, but he does need a few minutes to get comfortable with them. Within a few minutes he is sneaking up behind them to steal some sniffs. Within a few more minutes he can only best be described as a âclose-talkerâ as he likes to get awkwardly close to your face and then sniff you all over or stare into your eyes from inches away. Why is this awesome? Because you get to feel velvety soft dog snoot on your face! Atlas loves to snuggle with both people and dogs. He is not being fostered with any children, but we feel he would be appropriate for homes with kids. If they got very loud or rowdy he might remove himself from the situation, but we are sure he would be back snuggling with them once they calmed down. Atlas is the kind of dog that you cannot help but fall in love with once you meet him. He is eternally sweet, and tries so hard to be brave even when he is scared.

He is great with every dog he has met. His foster home regularly dog-sits and he has been great with big dogs, small dogs, senior dogs, and annoying dogs...you name it, he likes them. He is very passive and never corrects another dog, so he could possibly be bullied by overly assertive dogs. The more dogs around, the more confident and relaxed Atlas is. Due to the outside world being one of Atlasâ biggest fears we will also require that he has a very secure fenced yard of any size. It is required for security and his emotional well being and not for space. Atlas is accepting of strangers, but he does need a few minutes to get comfortable with them. Within a few minutes he is sneaking up behind them to steal some sniffs. Within a few more minutes he can only best be described as a âclose-talkerâ as he likes to get awkwardly close to your face and then sniff you all over or stare into your eyes from inches away. Why is this awesome? Because you get to feel velvety soft dog snoot on your face! Atlas loves to snuggle with both people and dogs. He is not being fostered with any children, but we feel he would be appropriate for homes with kids. If they got very loud or rowdy he might remove himself from the situation, but we are sure he would be back snuggling with them once they calmed down. Atlas is the kind of dog that you cannot help but fall in love with once you meet him. He is eternally sweet, and tries so hard to be brave even when he is scared.

HISTORY:
Spice and his sibling were brought to a suburban animal control facility as semi-feral kittens. They went to a foster home to help with their socialization. His sibling was adopted directly from the facility and Spice joined Luluâs Crew.
ABOUT:
Spice seems to get along with just about everyone. He is currently being fostered with 2 cats, and quickly figured out which one wanted to be his buddy and which one wanted to be left alone. He also gets along well with the two small resident dogs. Probably because he had a rough start to life Spice can be easily startled by loud noises or new things, but he is adaptable and adjusts very quickly. His curiosity eventually overpowers any fear that he had. He loves to cuddle with people and other animals. He doesnât have any off-limits petting zones and even loves to have his belly rubbed! His foster said he is one of the sweetest and most gentle cats they have ever had, even when playing. Spice is a typical young playful cat, but is not hyper. He has a fantastic purr motor and loves to tell you about his day.

Looking for a cuddle buddy? Jem is your girl! Jem is approximately 2 years old and the absolute sweetest girl who loves nothing more than being close to her people. Apart from snuggling, she has a nice medium energy level and will play with toys on her own (or with you), preferably soft squeaky toys, Kongs and anything she can chew on! Jem is house trained, but is still working on her crate training. She would do best in a home without cats.
Jem would love to get adopted with her brother, Scout, but can separate for the right home.

HISTORY:
Little Rocky was surrendered to CACC because his family was moving and their new home didnât allow any pets.
ABOUT:
Do you love tennis balls? Yes? Little Rocky does too! We have never seen a chihuahua with such a ball drive. Rocky loves to play fetch and brings the tennis ball right back to you and drops it so you can throw it again, and again...and again. Daily fetch is a requirement for this guy. When he gets tired he will bring it back and plop down next to you so he can play with the ball by himself. Little Rocky is very affectionate and loves to give kisses to his people, so if you hate being licked heâs not the right dog for you. Little Rocky is a super happy guy whose tail never stops wagging! He was briefly fostered with a 100lb dog and after his initial terror wore off he did very well with him, but didnât have much interest in actually interacting and might be happiest as an only dog or with another dog who doesnât want to interact very much. Little Rocky is a super sweet loving little guy but he does have some of the stereotypical chihuahua traits. A confident, patient home who can set limits and boundaries are an absolute must for this guy. He needs to earn any privileges such as sitting on the couch or on your lap. Because of his tendencies to think he might run the show Little Rocky will do best with teenage aged kids who can understand how to maintain limits with him. Little Rocky is completely housetrained, but doesnât seem to know how to ask to go out himself so you have to be in charge of making sure he goes out regularly. He is crated during the day and will go right in for his foster family when they give him the command. Little Rocky is very people motivated and loves to be around you and will cry briefly if he is separated from his people.

HISTORY:
Micah was surrendered to an shelter facility. It was to stressful for a senior so they looked for a group who could get him into a foster home.
ABOUT:
Micah is everything you would expect from a senior dog: he is calm, easy going, gentle, well behaved, sweet, and loving. Micah loves people, and they are truly what makes his world go âround. He loves to follow his foster mom around and wonât even go to bed until she does. If she goes to the kitchen, Micah goes to the kitchen. He will be the absolute perfect constant companion for someone. We think Micah would do well with children, we were told he lived with them previously and he is very gentle. He has met dogs and does well. He loves to say hi to the other dogs, but is mostly concerned with whatever it is that the people are doing. The shelter he was surrendered to said that he did not react to any cats, so he might even be good with cats too! He is quite the talker and has a bunch of different noises to indicate different things! Once you get to know him you get to know what heâs asking for. Micah is very well behaved and he is given free roam of the house while his foster mom is at work. Micahâs foster mom says that everyone who meets him falls completely in love with him.

HISTORY:
Kingâs owner had been keeping him in their apartment for many many years. The landlord did a surprise visit and realized they had a dog and forced the family to surrender him to a shelter immediately.
ABOUT:
Despite being blind King is an adventurous guy! When he is introduced to a new space the first thing he wants to do is walk around and investigate. King loves to cuddle and snuggle while in the house, but when he is outside he insists on being set down so that he can walk around and explore the world, he has no fear! King does bark when he canât find anyone but if you call out to him he will quiet up and use his radar-like skills to come find you. He is being fostered with multiple other dogs and he gets along great with everyone and loves to be in the middle of the action. His foster home feels that he would probably do just as well with cats. King lives with a 13 year old boy and they get along great. He would probably do best in a home with someone who is home often, or has other friendly, social pets who can stay with him while the people are gone. King has one silly/peculiar behavior: He loves to sleep with JUST his head covered by a blanket! Kingâs foster mom used the following words to describe him: Sweet, Gentle, Nuzzly, Cuddly, Adventurous.
Being 13 years old, King has a few medical conditions that potential adopters should know about. He is currently on the heart medications: Vetmedin, Furosemide, and Enapril, but he is receiving a low dose so this could be increased as time goes on if needed. His vet suggested that 1 year would be the very low end of his prognosis, but she often sees dogs live up to 3 years with his condition. We estimate his monthly medications to be around $80. His general blood work is great for a dog his age and he is still very active. Kingâs foster mom is doing a fantastic job with him and is doing a great job managing his health and is even personally sponsoring his medications and vet visits, but she would love to share the happiness his joy extrudes with a forever home of his own. King is looking for an adopter who wants a great, happy, glass-half-full companion, but who has the financial stability to cover his monthly medications.

Rookie is a little timid but is warming up to people and other cats and dogs. He was found mewing in the corner of a garage; itâs a mystery how he got there. Another mystery is what happened to his back left leg. He does not use it much, but he gets around fine. The vet says thereâs no need to do anything about his bum leg since he can walk, run, and jump, and he is not in pain. He does not play with toys much but loves to run around and explore and look outside. Most of all, he loves to eat. He will also sit in your lap to be petted and will purr up a storm.

HISTORY: Schipp was found running around the parking lot at CACC during a CRISP Shift: www.crispchicago.org.
ABOUT:
Schipp is a big boy with a striking coat. He loves attention from his people, and loves a good play session. Schipp is currently in foster care with a low-key, confident female cat. Schipp will try to be the alpha cat so would need a cat that can let him know where the pecking order stands. He would also be just fine as any only cat. He loves to lay on his cat tree and just look out the window! He has great litter box habits, and is not a picky eater at all!

HISTORY:
Rogue was found with her two 4-6 month old kittens in an industrial area.
ABOUT:
Rogue was likely never completely socialized, so she has some quirks about her. Rogue is currently being fostered with two senior female cats and she gets along with them famously. She also was very good with her own kittens before they were adopted out. She is being fostered in a home with a dog, but hasnât completely been introduced to her. We believe she would adapt to a cat-savvy dog. Rogue gets very stressed out with excessive handling. She is not comfortable being picked up and it can very very difficult to get her into her carrier. She does love less intrusive handling and will let you scratch and pet her head indefinitely. She has a bit of a playful side and likes to hide in the dark and pounce on her foster momâs feet at feeding time in the morning. She also likes to play with toys especially mice that jingle and balls. She also likes to play with wand toys but will randomly act afraid of them. She only ever scratches on her cardboard scratching pad. Sheâs quite the talker and will let her foster mom know that her food bowl is still empty every 3 seconds until itâs ready. She will also mention if her water bowl needs to be filled.
Rogue will need to be adopted by an experienced cat owner. She will need time to trust her new home, but she has done really well in her foster home. She will always have some quirks related to her lack of socialization. She can be a bit unpredictable so she should not go to homes with children. Something that she would tolerate yesterday she might not tolerate today. Things that did not stress her out yesterday, might stress her out today. She would make a fabulous companion for another cat(s).
One day Rogue figured out how to open the door to her âsuite.â She went right to the kitchen to demand to be fed. Her foster mom didnât even notice it was her until she looked down. She didnât bother looking around or meeting any of other animals, she just went straight to the food.
Her foster mom says she can be chatty and opinionated and you might even say bossy, but also scared and shy. Rogue also has a bit of a silly and playful side.

HISTORY: Sissy was rescued from animal control as a pregnant senior. She raised 5 kittens of her own plus an orphaned kitten.
ABOUT:
Sissy is a sweet, independent senior looking for her forever home. Sissy spends most of her time in the basement of her foster home, but will come running when called or if she hears her foster dad open the garage door when he gets home from work. Sissy found a button on the floor one day so her foster mom put it on a string to play with her and she loved it. Sissy will play with you nonstop if you have that button on a string! Sissy seems to appreciate routine and will come up and meow at her foster mom if sheâs late scooping her litter box. She then goes down with her foster mom while she scoops and Sissy purrs and rubs all over her ankles to say thank you. While Sissy lives in a home with cats and a dog, she would probably appreciate being an only pet. She might do ok with another animal as long as they have no interest in interacting with her. While she is an independent cat Sissy loves when you talk to her and starts purring if you even think about looking at her.

HISTORY:
Norman has been a part of Luluâs Crew for multiple years.
ABOUT:
Norman was a resident of our adoption center for almost a year. One of our regular foster homes offered to take him in because the constant in-and-out of strangers was getting stressful for him, it has also given us an opportunity to get to know him much better!
Norman can be shy around new or fast-moving people and is a bit skittish with new or loud noises; but it didnât take Norman very long to want to start exploring around his foster home. Within a short month his foster mom was able to gain his trust enough that she can now pick him up. All he needs is simple patience when he is adjusting and he will come around and begin to be more social. He currently lives with one adult and 3 female cats. He gets along very well with the other cats and he loves to play with them. He would do best being adopted into a home with at least one other cat, ideally a confident cat who would love to play with him. Normanâs not-so-secret love is people food, and he is not shy about coming up to ask for (or take) some. Heâs not a morning person and is usually the last one to breakfast. Norman also loves stuffed toys and will often sit on top of them to keep the other cats from having a turn! His foster mom says Norman, with his silly quirks and awkwardness, reminds her of Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory. He loves to sit in high places, his favorite being the top of the cat tree by the window so he can watch the birds. Because Norman is on the shy side, we think a calmer, less chaotic home would be the best for him. Norman is a gentle soul with a bit of a mischievous side for fun. FIV+
