5. Boo
Young (1 year 5 months) · Male · Domestic Long Hair / Domestic Medium Hair / Mixed (medium coat) · 21 mi from Surprise




BOO! Meet our spooky, special kitty, Boo! Boo is an approximately 1.5-year-old male all-black Domestic Medium/Long Hair. He came to Chi Town Rescue via a TNR group who had trapped and neutered him as a stray when he was around six-months-old. They were hopeful that as Boo was so young, he could become less feral and more friendly with humans. Boo is definitely still a project cat, but after a year, we finally feel comfortable listing him for foster or adoption to a patient and experienced cat home. Boo has started to rub against the legs of those he knows and trusts and will allow a few short pets on his back or tail.
Read more about Boo
He needs to initiate this interaction though, otherwise he will hiss/swat at you. Boo loves kitty yogurt like Churu and will happily gobble up the treat from the package or even lick it off your fingers. Boo is tolerant of other kitties and has met quite a few that have filtered in and out of our cat room over the past year. He mostly just does his own thing and doesn't mind sharing his space, but doesn't necessarily interact with the other cats. If you love a project and want to help a very special cat who has had a rough start in life, please send us a message! Email chitownrescue@gmail.com for more information.

13. Ty
Kitten (6 months) · Female · Abyssinian / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 21 mi from Surprise





Hi, I'm Ty. I had an eye infection when I was very young and it left me with a bit of cloudy vision. Because of this, I am shy at first but, once I get to know you, I will run right to you and demand cuddles. I know how to play by myself and I love canned Fancy Feast (works well as a bribe to get to know me). I've been fostered around dogs, so as long as they are well behaved and the introduction is slow, I should be ok. I have not been around small children and would probably not do well with them because of my vision. I have been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed and I tested negative for Felv/FIV. My adoption fee is $250.00

20. Lestat
Kitten (3 months 8 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 21 mi from Surprise



Allow me to introduce Lestat—a tiny, fluffy predator with the heart of a cuddle bug and the hunting instincts of a miniature jungle cat. Lestat takes his job as household hunter very seriously. Give him a soft toy ball and prepare to witness a highly trained professional in action. Bugs? Consider them warned. Toys? Absolutely doomed. His littermates? Well… they make excellent moving targets. But behind that fierce little predator persona is a sweet soul. Lestat has a secret weakness: soft head scratches and a cozy nap beside his favorite human. He may be a little hunter, but he believes cuddling is an acceptable reward for a hard day's work.
Read more about Lestat
He has been exposed to 2 large dogs and responded with cautious curiosity. Lestat would absolutely love to be adopted with one of his littermates—Louie or Sadie May — because even the fiercest little predators deserve a partner in crime. Lastat is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested negative for FeLV/FIV. His adoption fee is $250.00.

Adopting a cat in Surprise
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
