Socks

My story

Socks needs your help to build his confidence! This BIG boy is shy when confronted with new and unfamiliar settings, but will instantly forget his fears when there’s a string toy darting around for him to chase - his sudden transformation to leaps and dashes impresses everyone. He also loves to chase his favorite moving target (his sister Sandal). When you do get close to him and start petting him he absolutely loves the attention, and will flop right over and let you rub his belly while he starts kneading with his paws straight up in the air. Socks is also quite happy to snuggle up for a nap on the couch with you. You might not hear much from him at first - he hasn’t quite figured out to meow yet, so the best he can do is a tiny squeak! But when he’s settled in and marching around your home with his favorite toys, he will trill proudly over and over. Socks was born 8/14/23. If you live in Chicago and are interested in learning more about Socks, please contact Toni McNaughton at tonimcn@rcn.com and Lisa Ward at catladychicago@yahoo.com. Please tell us a bit about your situation, what you are looking for, the composition of your current household (the other humans and/or pets who already live there). Inquires with these questions answered are responded to promptly. We are always in need of foster homes. If you are not able to adopt, but are interested in fostering or know someone who might be, we would love to hear from you!
