Athens's Story

Athens is a 3 year old male tabby that used to be a TomCat in the streets of Hanover Park. He singlehandedly kept the orange breed dominant for the last three years in the area, and brought his ladies to one front door for gourmet meals over the years.<br/><br/>Now that he is an indoor cat, he's learning to enjoy the finer things in life. He loves getting pets and staying near his fosters, but doesn't like to be picked up. At 9pm, he will sing a full opera for a nice bowl of wet food and then tells you it's time for bed. He insists on the lights being turned off and the door closed so he can sleep in peace. <br/><br/>He has the sweetest high pitch meow for such a big fella. Athens likes to play with his automated butterfly toy and sleeps in his tree trunk, although he barely fits inside. He gets along well with other cats. <br/><br/>Almost Home's Adoption Requirements:<br/>Be at least 21 years of age<br/>Have the knowledge and consent of all adults living in the household<br/>Have approval from owner of residence (written in lease)<br/>Have a valid ID with current address<br/>Be approved as a suitable adoptive home by Almost Home Foundation<br/>Be ready to make a lifetime commitment<br/>Live in the suburbs surrounding Chicago (Illinois Residents only)<br/>Pass a veterinarian reference check for current and past pets.<br/>Adoption payment cash, check or Zelle only<br/><br/>If you are interested in Athens, please complete an online adoption application at www.almosthomefoundation.org or email cats@almosthomefoundation.org.<br/><br/>*** Please note that Almost Home Foundation accepts only cash, checks, or Zelle for adoption fees; we do not accept debit or credit cards. ***
