About Wren

Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today. Wren is the sweetest little soul—gentle, a bit shy at first, and an absolute cuddlebug once she feels safe. She delights in her puffy toy balls, happily batting them around or carrying them from room to room, even as the other kittens try to "borrow" her favorites! Wren’s calm and friendly nature makes her easy to love, and she truly gets along with everyone. She shares a special bond with her sister Raven, the two girls often seen side by side. Kittens under 6 months are adopted in pairs to ensure they have another kitten playmate, which is essential for healthy socialization and developing good manners. Exceptions are made only for applicants with another young cat in the home, as long as their resident kitten is also fully vetted. The rescue requires adopters to be at least 21, have landlord approval when needed, provide ID with a current address, live in the greater Chicagoland area, and be ready for a lifetime commitment. All applications are subject to approval, including a reference check with your veterinarian. Wren and her siblings are waiting for loving homes. If you would like to bring home a wonderful pair of kittens, this is your chance. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
