Adopt Me: Cubby, The Homerun Kitty

Patch regularly features pets available for adoption from C.A.R.E. at Evanston's Animal Shelter.

Cubby's a real homerun of a cat. This handsome white cat with black markings says, "I'm a real sweetie pie and all the C.A.R.E. volunteers love me. I'll roll over on my back when you pick me up and when you give me a hug. I purr and purr all day long, but also love to play. My favorite toy is the cat charmer snake and I'll hunt and pounce! Please come meet to see how adorable and sweet I am." Cubby's Stats: C.A.R.E. to Meet Cubby? Please come to C.A.R.E., 2310 Oakton St., Evanston, to meet Cubby and speak to an adoption counselor.

Adopt Me: Agreeable Gregg

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

Hi! My name's Gregg! I’m a social, friendly, high energy guy who loves attention and wants action--preferably now. I enjoy meeting people and walk fairly well on leash, but can get jumpy at times. Since my life started off without a lot of positive direction, I sometimes get a little goofy with misdirected energy. I’m looking forward to attending obedience training with you to show you how smart and agreeable I can be. I'm not very barky and I quiet down easily on my own. Gregg's Stats: C.A.R.E. to Meet Gregg? Please come to C.A.R.E., 2310 Oakton St., Evanston, to meet Gregg and speak to an adoption counselor. C.A.R.E. adoption hours are Monday through Thursday, 6-8 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, noon-3:30 p.m. Visit C.A.R.E. online at …

Tortie lovers, gather 'round and meet C.A.R.E. supertortie Hazel. This adorable girl with a checkerboard face would love to come home with you.

Adopt Me: Tigger Adds Bounce To Your Life

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

"T-I-double 'guh'-errrrr, that spells Tigger!" And indeed, this chatty, loving, affectionate orange tabby currently staying at C.A.R.E. will bounce right into your heart. Tigger likes to climb under your pant leg to nuzzle against your leg! And even though he's not a youngster, Tigger love to play and will pounce for feather wands and fuzzy mice. Like his namesake, Tigger's an inquisitive fellow. He likes to investigate and has been known to try to sneak out the door, so you'll need to be careful to keep him safe. Tigger came to the shelter when his elderly owner could no longer care for him. Tigger says, "Please come meet me and let's start the next chapter of our lives together."

Adopt Me: Tapioca the Creamy White Feline

Skokie Patch regularly features pets available for adoption from C.A.R.E. at Evanston's Animal Shelter.

Snowy white Tapioca has a sad story, but with a soon-to-be-happy ending. Tapioca ended up at C.A.R.E. after being thrown from a car in his carrier--despite being, say C.A.R.E. volunteers, "the nicest, sweetest cat around." "I shook it all off and have opened my heart to the nice volunteers at C.A.R.E.," says Tapioca. "I get lots of compliments on my one blue eye and one amber eye. I'm lovable and like being petted and playing with all kinds of toys! Come to the shelter to meet me and to give me a chance at a great life with a new family." Tapioca's Stats: C.A.R.E. to Meet Tapioca? Please come to C.A.R.E., 2310 Oakton St., Evanston, to meet Tapioca and speak to an adoption counselor. Holiday adoption hours for Christmas week will be …
