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!

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: Milena came from a suburban animal control with her littermates.
ABOUT: Milena is the âobserverâ of her litter. She loves to come and watch the action when her littermates are getting into trouble, but generally doesnât join in. Sheâs the teacherâs pet of the bunch, since she rarely gets herself into mischief. She loves to cuddle with the other cats in her foster home. While she is the calmest of her litter, she is still a kitten and does have a bit of a playful side.

HISTORY:
Rookie was a stray.
ABOUT:
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+
