Mercedes's Story

Mercedes is an incredible cat with the perfect blend of playfulness and affection. She's great with kids, always ready for cuddles, and her soothing purrs are guaranteed to melt your heart. A true master “chef,” she loves kneading biscuits — especially when she's feeling happy and relaxed.<br/><br/>Through absolutely no fault of her own, Mercedes has been with St. Sophia's longer than we ever expected, and we truly don't understand why — she's a total gem. She's energetic, curious, and very playful, especially when she has toys she can toss, bat, and chase across the room. Watching her play is pure joy.<br/><br/>Mercedes is FIV-positive, but that doesn't slow her down one bit. FIV+ cats can live long, healthy lives and don't require any special care beyond routine vet visits — just love, good food, and a safe indoor home. She's ready for a family who will finally give her the forever home she's been waiting for.<br/><br/>Come and meet me @ The Cat House (344 Irving Park Rd, Roselle, IL) Pro Tip: Submit an application beforehand for a seamless adoption process!<br/><br/>Adoption Information<br/><br/>Prior to adoption, every cat in our care is spayed or neutered, microchipped, given age-appropriate vaccinations, treated for parasites, and combo-tested for FIV/FeLV. We make sure each cat is healthy, safe, and ready to thrive in their forever home.<br/><br/>Adoption Fees<br/><br/><br/> <br/> Kittens (under 6 months): $150<br/> <br/> <br/> Adults (over 6 months): $125<br/> <br/> <br/> Seniors / Special Needs: $75<br/> <br/><br/><br/>Please Note:<br/><br/><br/> <br/> We cannot hold cats for any reason.

St. Sophia's Forgotten Felines's Adoption Policy
TO ADOPT, ONE MUST Have current photo identification with your current address Be willing and able to spend the time & money needed to care for your cat Carefully read the terms of our Adoption Contract and agree to its terms. Agree that if they cannot keep the cat they have adopted from St. Sophia’s, they must return the cat to us Agree to allow an authorized representative of St. Sophia’s to make an adoption follow-up THE PROCESS Adopting should never be an impulse decision — pets are for life. We respectfully ask that you come fully prepared to take on the care of a cat prior to filling out an application. On average, owning a cat costs $40 a month (food/litter/health), which is $480 annually. Cats (especially kittens) take lots of time, dedication, and love to grow and develop into loving and healthy household pets. Because we at St. Sophia’s pride ourselves in knowing our cats, we want what’s best for them, and to ensure they are going to good homes we conduct reference checks (personal and veterinary) in addition to the basic application. Please expect the adoption process to take at least 24 hours, and when your adoption is finalized, you’ll need to bring a carrier to take your new pet home in.
