Adopt ME: Angie, an Angel In Disguise

Each week, we feature pets available for adoption from C.A.R.E. at Evanston's Animal Shelter.

Some cats are mooches for attention. Other cats, like C.A.R.E. cat Angie, prefer to call the shots. Angie, a striking, "Rubenesque" tortie/calico mix, has been living at C.A.R.E. for more than a year now. She doesn't seem to be a fan of other cats, but she appears to be okay with dogs who are polite to her. But Angie loves people. If you sit down, Angie will make a beeline for your lap and some cuddles.  That said, Angie is a cat who expects respect. She can be quite opinionated and talkative, as C.A.R.E. volunteers have noted. If you do something that she doesn't appreciate (like trying to pet her tummy) she'll let you know she doesn't like it. Angie shines when it comes to supervising. She's in her element when hanging out in the C.A.R.E…

Local Patch Pets: Tommy, Mandy & Mary

Each week, we feature pets available for adoption from C.A.R.E. at Evanston's Animal Shelter.

Tommy, Mandy & Mary are truly animal orphans. The trio lived with a wonderful gentleman for many years, who loved them dearly. When their "Dad" passed away, the three cats went temporarily to stay with a relative who was unable to keep them long term. These three friends have lived together their whole lives. They are very scared and shy and want to stay together because "we're all we've got." C.A.R.E.'s cat volunteers add that "the three will need a lot of love and patience, and will hide (they hid in the relative’s duct work in the ceiling and had to be trapped to get them into the shelter)." The silver lining: the three are Zucchini's Friends cats, which means you'll get a reduced adoption fee. Is your heart big enough to take them all…
