In 1997, four-year-old Gordy was admitted to Tree House, and just a few months after his arrival was adopted. Sadly, Gordy was returned in June of this year when his guardian became too ill to care for him. Readjusting to shelter life, particularly after having lived in a home for many years, can be difficult for cats, and though Gordy initially seemed to being doing well, he has recently regressed. This once laidback cat who seemed at ease amidst the hustle and bustle of the shelter environment, can now be found hiding in the bathroom or curled up in a corner of the reception area. He is still a loveable and affectionate cat, but seems too overwhelmed to come out of hiding and seek attention from people. Gordy would undoubtedly thrive in a home environment where he can get the the attention and one-on-one time he so deserves. If you or anyone you know is interested in a big, goofy fifteen-year-old cat who runs to you when called and gives kisses, visit the Uptown Shelter today and meet Gordy!
Mack the Knife came to Tree House in April of this year. He arrived in rough shape. He was thin, filthy, crawling with ear mites and fleas, bleeding from wounds on his neck and suffering from an severe upper respiratory infection and mouth infection. Despite all his ailments, Mack was sweet and loving from the moment he was admitted. He charmed the clinic staff members with his extremely loud purr and his affinity for being carried around in people’s arms. It took Mack more than two months to recover from his multiple injuries and illnesses, and during that time he was also diagnosed with FIV. Mack currently resides in the Cypress Room at the Uptown Shelter. If you are looking for an incredibly unique, adorable, fun cat, Mack is the one for you. Come to Tree House and fall in love with him today.
Maggie Tulliver and her brother, Tom, were surrendered at Animal Welfare League in January of this year. The siblings were transferred to Tree House where they were treated for severe vomiting and diarrhea. After a month of intense treatment, Maggie and her brother were given a clean bill of health and made available for adoption. Tom was adopted out quickly, but, sadly, Maggie has not been as lucky. She was adopted, but returned after a very short period through no fault of her own. Maggie is again available for adoption and would be a great addition to any family! She is a little shy at first, but once she warms up to you, is extremely loving. She meows for attention, flops onto her side for petting and loves to rub faces. If you’re looking for a sweet, cuddly young cat, then visit the Bucktown Branch and meet Maggie.
