OAK LAWN, IL—Adopt an adorable kitten just in time to knock down your Christmas tree this Saturday, Nov. 14, for Kitties For Keeps Rescue's adoption event, which runs from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Oak Lawn PetCo, 6220 W. 95th St.
Confirming their attendance for Saturday are Norman, Carrie (originally Cliff), Gracie, Beardslee, Whiskerella and a few other party crashers. The latest group are about six months old and were born during the notorious spring kitten season, when outdoor and abandoned cats start having babies by the dozen.
Kitties for Keeps is a nonprofit, no-kill, volunteer, foster-based cat rescue. The Chicago Ridge rescue group is dedicated to rescuing friendly, adoptable cats (old or young) that are left homeless, in danger of euthanasia, or victims of abuse or neglect.
Looking for their happy ending are Mayci and Coffee Cake who are up for adoption as a bonded pair. According to the rescue, Mayci was abandoned at a retail store at about 9 months old, where it was evident she was a nursing mama. The same person who abandoned Mayci left her tiny kitten, Coffee Cake, in a completely different location in another city. Two innocent lives, separated and left to fend for themselves.
When Mayci arrived at her foster home, she cried throughout the night, searching for the baby who had been taken from her. Her mama heart knew someone was missing.
"But we couldn't give up on their story," said Debbie Kozik, a Kitties for Keeps volunteer.. "Through the efforts of our rescue, we were able to reunite this young mama with her precious baby. And when they found each other again? They were immediately happy."
In addition to kitty visits and adoptions, Kitties for Keeps is accepting donations of kitten food, clumping litter, kitty toys (they love the springs) and monetary donations to help with medical needs.
