The Elegant Lady Chatterly and Sporty Spike Seek Forever Homes

NORTH SHORE - The Community Animal Rescue Effort has cats and dogs available for adoption. The non-profit organization serves the North Shore region and North Side of Chicago. Every week, Patch highlights a set of cats and dogs (or in this case, two cats) available for adoption from C.A.R.E., which plans to open a shelter facility in Skokie in 2017.

Information on these adoptable pets was submitted to Patch by C.A.R.E.

Lady Chatterley: A Real Lover

Lady Chatterley is a sweet, cautious girl who, like her literary namesake, just wants to be loved. “I'll climb in your lap and even on your shoulder,” purrs this rare dilute calico with a slim, angular Oriental build.

“Everyone tells me how gorgeous I am, but it never goes to my head. All I ask for is a little kindness and I'll repay you with lots of love!”

Lady Chatterley’s Particulars:

Dilute Calico/Oriental Shorthair Mix, Born in 2015, Spayed female

Children: Older, cat experienced

Cats: Yes, with proper introduction

Dogs: Unknown

Lady Chatterley is microchipped, spayed, and has had a full veterinary checkup and vaccines.

Meet Sporty Spike

Spike lives up to his athletic name. “I have lots of energy and love to play and run around, but also can be a great lap cat once I settle down,” says Spike, a mostly white cat sporting a dashing black “toupee” and a long black tail. “I'm quite a character and will add lots of fun to any home. My acrobatics when chasing a feather toy are extremely entertaining. If you're looking for a great kitty to spice up your life, get in touch with C.A.R.E. and come see me!”
