Athens

For the past almost three years, Athens was the undisputed king of the Hanover Park streets. He single-handedly kept the local orange cat population thriving and was famous for leading his lady friends right to the best porches for gourmet meals. But today? This 4-year-old tabby has officially hung up his street-smart cape and is fully embracing the indoor luxury life!<br/><br/>Athens is a handsome fella. He has the sweetest, most delicate high-pitched meow you’ve ever heard. He’s learning to love the finer things, like chasing his automated butterfly toy and squeezing his large frame into a tiny toy tree trunk that he barely fits inside.<br/><br/>He is a wonderful, respectful roommate who gets along great with other cats. He absolutely loves getting head pats and staying close to his people, though he prefers to keep his paws on the ground (no being picked up, please!). Just be prepared for his evening routine: at exactly 9 PM, he will perform a full, dramatic opera for his wet food. Once dinner is served, he will promptly inform you that it’s bedtime, insisting on the lights being turned off and the door closed so he can get his beauty sleep in total peace.<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. ***
