Rescued!

"James Bond," a handsome black-and-white male, was just admitted into Tree House! Here are some pictures of him after being trapped, just hanging out in the bathroom, relaxed and happy. He's a lover, man, not a fighter. He's all about the luuuuuv. He is seeking a home to soak up the luuuuuuuuuv in.

Check out Treehouse if you're interested in adopting James Bond or another kitty.

UPDATE: Mama + 5 kittens

Mama cat and three kittens rescued from the outside! Two kittens still being naughty. Raccoons at large ... rain ... hope to trap two remaining kittens tonight!

Five kittens + Mama

A young black-and-white Mama cat and five kittens have been living in a backyard near 55th and University. All the kittens are cuuuuuuute, and Mama cat, pictured here, is adorable. It appears that the mama cat is a throwaway or stray, not a feral cat. She is cautious of people and protective of her kittens, but goes right into that kennel and awaits feeding. The kitten seen here was caught yesterday and is very handleable. It is the second-smallest of five cutiespies. We are hoping that all these cats could be pets.

Seeking any help ... particularly foster parents to socialize. If you can help in any way, please leave your name and email in the comments field.

UPDATE: The kittens and Mama cat are now on a waiting list to get into the PAWS Chicago adoption program. The wait time is approximately 3-5 weeks for the kittens, and 12 weeks for the mother. So, if you are thinking of fostering these guys, know it's not forever (unless you want it to be!). The sooner they get into a foster home, the more social they will be. They will not be taken in by PAWS or any other agency if they are not socialized. Please consider fostering for a few weeks to give these cats the chance at a life.

Pants found a home!

Pants (see posting below) found a home!

street cat seeks loving home

Pants is a small, sweet tuxedo tom who has been living in the alley between Drexel and Cottage Grove around 55th Street. Unlike his feral friends, Pants doesn't shy away from people or dogs, but calmly comes to the windows of various residents of the block and demands food and attention. He's been neutered and vaccinated, but would love a steady source of treats and petting.
