Brave (& Akari)'s Story

Meet Brave!<br/>Brave is an independent yet affectionate kitten with a gentle personality. True to his name, he has grown into a confident little cat. He used to be skittish, but now he happily greets visitors and enjoys being petted. Brave isn’t a lap cat, but he shows his affection in his own way by lying next to you and soaking up scratches.<br/><br/>Brave loves playtime, chasing little toy balls, mice, and laser lights are his favorite activities. He also enjoys playing and running around with other cats, and he has done especially well with his foster family’s cats. While he may not climb into your lap, his unique mix of independence and affection makes him a wonderful companion for anyone who wants a sweet, playful, and easygoing friend.<br/><br/>He is a bonded pair with his brother Akari. Akari and Brave were found together as tiny kittens in a box near Humboldt Park. Their mother was nowhere to be found, so their foster family stepped in to give them the love and care they needed. Today, they’re thriving, social, playful, and ready for forever homes. Both are comfortable with new people, playful with other cats, and sure to bring lots of joy, fun, and affection into their new families’ lives. <br/><br/>Akari and Brave love playing together and also enjoy spending time with the other cats in their foster home. They both purr when petted and have warmed up beautifully to new people. Since they’ve grown up side by side, they share a strong connection and are happiest when they’re together. Akari and Brave are looking for a forever home where they can stay as a pair, bringing double the love, double the purrs, and double the joy.<br/><br/>If you would like to learn more about ___and ___, and arrange to meet them, please email info@chicagocatrescue.org for the quickest reply, or call 773/203-0215. No texts, please.<br/> <br/>CCR adopts to forever homes in Chicago or the very near suburbs that are within 10 miles of our respective Chicago foster families. Most of our foster families reside on the north side of the city. We love our cats and we pledge support for the rest of their lives, which is why our location limits are in place. We appreciate your understanding. If you are outside of these limits, please check petfinder.com, which allows searching by zip code, for cats closer to your home.<br/><br/>At Chicago Cat Rescue, we are dedicated to both the physical and emotional well-being of the cats and kittens in our care. For this reason, unless expressly stated, we do not place cats or kittens in homes where they will be the only cat. In our experience, most cats love the company of other cats, and can become quite lonely when living alone.<br/><br/>Kittens will only be placed in pairs, or to join another kitten or young cat in your home.<br/><br/>Chicago Cat Rescue is an entirely foster based organization. Our ability to help more cats in need is dependent on our availability of foster homes. If you think you could provide a loving foster situation for a cat in need, or would like to learn more about our foster program, please email us, foster@chicagocatrescue.org. Thank you!

Chicago Cat Rescue's Adoption Policy
Chicago Cat Rescue is a foster based organization, which means that all our cats and kittens are housed in private foster homes until we find them permanent homes. We generally begin by having a phone conversation with prospective adopters in order to find out what you're looking for and to learn something about you and your home situation. CCR adopts to homes in Chicago and the very near suburbs, which are within 10 miles of our Chicago foster families. Our minimum adoption age is 25. We then put you in touch with our foster parents, so you can contact them directly to schedule meet ‘n greets with our cats in their foster homes. Meeting our cats in their foster homes and having in-depth conversations with our foster parents is a great way to learn about your prospective cats' personalities and temperaments. We sometimes begin with a virtual visit between adopters and foster parents, and our cats are able to participate too! Then, if all parties are comfortable, an in-home visit is scheduled. All family members are expected to participate in these virtual and in-home visits. During the challenging past three years, we’ve tried our best to continue to give our cats the opportunity to find their forever homes. At the same time, we have strived to maintain the integrity of our adoption process. Once you’ve met the cat(s) you’d like to adopt, we will send you our adoption application and contract. We ask for a couple of business days to process applications, which gives you time to prepare for your new furry family member's arrival. Application processing includes contacting personal, vet and landlord references (as applicable). After your application is approved, we deliver our cats to their new homes. Our adoption fee is $175 per cat or kitten, to help defray our costs. All our cats are spayed/neutered, blood tested for Feline Leukemia and FIV, dewormed, FVRCP vaccinated and micro chipped, in addition to receiving any other necessary medical care. We maintain follow up contact with our adopters by phone and email to help ensure a smooth transition, and to address any questions and concerns that may arise. We hope our adopters will use us as a resource both at the time of adoption and on into the future, as needed.
