Josie's Story

Meet Josie, a beautiful tortoiseshell girl who is the definition of gentle and low-key (estimated DOB: 4/21/2024). Josie is a quiet soul who doesn’t demand much attention but truly welcomes every bit of affection you offer. She adores gentle pets and will happily soak up the love and quiet companionship of her humans. She’d be a wonderful companion for someone looking for a sweet, serene friend to share their days with—a cat who will quietly keep you company and offer the soft comfort of her presence. In April 2025, Josie had a litter of five kittens while at Chicago Animal Care and Control. She proved to be an exceptional mom, lovingly protecting her babies and ensuring they grew up healthy and strong. Now that her kittens are ready for their own adventures, it’s her turn to find a home forever where she can be cherished. Because Josie has only been in our care while raising her kittens, we don’t know how she would do with other cats or dogs. For this reason, we’re recommending that she be adopted as the only pet in her household, where she can relax and enjoy all the love and attention she deserves without any added stress. She would thrive in a calm, peaceful household without too much hustle and bustle. For more information and pictures, go to our website: http://www.ppahrescue.org/adoptable-pets/ To submit an adoption application online: http://www.ppahrescue.org/adoptapp/ If you cannot adopt, please share to help Josie find a "furrever" home. To make a donation via PayPal, USPS, or one of our current campaigns; to provide an item from our Amazon Wish List, or to sponsor an animal, please do so here: http://www.ppahrescue.org/donation/ All animals are already spayed/neutered, FIV/FeLV tested negative, micro-chipped, de-wormed and have all necessary shots. They are ready to go to a loving home. Adoption fee is $175.00. If you have any questions, please email Admin@PPAHrescue.org. Thank you.

Precious Pets Almost Home Association's Adoption Policy

Please help our homeless pets in need by adopting from Precious Pets Almost Home. All of our cats and dogs are spayed or neutered, micro-chipped, de-wormed, flea-treated, up to date on vaccines and treated for ear mites. Cats are tested for FIV/Leukemia. Dogs are Heartworm tested. Our modest adoption fee is $175.00 for cats and $400.00 for dogs (unless otherwise noted). Some purebred cats or dogs may have a higher adoption fee. Please understand that the higher adoption fee for certain purebred animals allows us to rescue more animals and it is still much, much less than what you would pay a breeder or pet store! Adopter is contractually bound to return their adopted animal to PPAH if for any reason the adoption does not work out. We do not return adoption donations after 14 days. If animals are adopted together, they must be returned together. We do not adopt single kittens into homes with no other pets, namely cats. This policy is in the best interest of the cats in our care and is shared by many rescue groups nationwide. Applicant must demonstrate the ability and commitment to provide proper care, exercise and vetting for the lifetime of the pet. PPAH reserves the right to approve or decline any adoption applications that do not meet the organization's adoption criteria, as determined at its' sole discretion. PPAH is a foster-based non-profit rescue run solely by volunteers. The application process can take a few days with the verification of vetting, residency, and references. We appreciate your patience. For more on our policies visit our website www.ppahrescue.org/adoption-info/
