Shelter kitty adopted at 1.5 years old

We were living together in our very small apartment in Chicago when Rich (Cat Dad) convinced Andrea (Cat Mom)  that we needed a cat in our lives. Full story here. At the shelter a cute little black cat jumped up on Rich's lap; we knew he was our guy!

Mikita has so much potential. We made a promise to him that we'd never stop learning about cats and would keep an open mind when it came to enriching his life.

Mikita is named after #21 Stan Mikita, a former Chicago Blackhawks player and Hockey Hall of Famer.

MIKITA

DAHLIA

Retired breeding Maine Coon adopted at 5 years old.

Dahlia is the second cat we adopted, 4 years after Mikita. We saw her posted on Instagram and then met her in person. She seemed smart, wise, and playful. We thought she'd be a good match for Mikita. Plus, they were the same age!

 

We wanted to give Dahlia an awesome retirement from being a breeding queen. She's grown so much since adopting her. From gaining a few pounds, learning to sit on command and reaching her full floof potential, Dahlia is living her best life!
