North Shore Animal League America opened its doors to its Friskies Cat Habitat on July 22, 2004. It was designed and constructed by Purina, who consulted with a well-known cat behaviorist, as an alternative to cages. All of the surfaces are covered in cat-friendly materials including sisal-covered scratching surfaces, carpets, foam and hidden nooks for exploring and napping. Here the feline inhabitants are able to roam freely, play, and socialize with the other pussycat residents 24 hours a day.

Located right across the street from our adoption center, the Cat Habitat gives our cats a chance to stretch their legs, sharpen their claws and mingle with their peers. It is especially helpful to and appreciated by the cats who have been in our care more than 30 days. In addition, the Cat Habitat also helps adopters by giving them a better view of our cats' spunky and playful personalities and allowing them to witness them in a home-like setting. And to encourage the adoption of our adult cats, all adoption fees for cats in the Habitat are waived!

Meet the Cats in the Cat Habitat

Azira
Name: Azira
Adoption #: R87938
Gender: M
Age: Adult

Hello there good people. My name is Azira. I've been at the Animal League since November of 2006. I was adopted as a kitten from the Animal League in 1999 and was really happy, but my owner couldn't take care of me anymore so I had to come back here. I'm an older gent but I've still got lots of spunk, and I love to chase the other cats around. I spend my days lounging around, and playing in the Cat Habitat just waiting for that special someone to bring me into their life and home. Could that be you?!

Cirrus
Name: Cirrus
Adoption #: H122793
Gender: M
Age: Adult

Cirrus and Cumulus are two older fellows who love to lounge around all day and night. When you approach them they stand up and stretch out and walk over to you, meow and stand there until you pet them. Cumulus greets you more than Cirrus, but Cirrus just hangs out until you go over to him. He is a little lazier and prefers you to pamper him. These are two very sweet and handsome boys just waiting for you to give them the big bed they deserve in your home and a very special place in your heart.

Note: Cirrus must be adopted along with Cumulus

Dulac
Name: Dulac
Adoption #: H188771
Gender: M
Age: Adult

Hey there ladies and gents, I’m Dulac and I live with my brother Homer. We lived with someone for four years, but unfortunately she was moving and couldn’t take us with her, so she dropped us off here.

I’m trying to get used to things around here, but to tell you the truth it has been pretty hard. There’s so many new faces every day and it does get a little noisy around here. I guess I just want to be in a home where I’ll feel safe and secure. My brother Homer adapts well to change and is helping me get through this rough patch.

Please come over and visit us, we know you’ll love us and take good care of us!

Note: Dulac must be adopted along with Homer

Homer
Name: Homer
Adoption #: H188770
Gender: M
Age: Adult

Hey there ladies and gents, I’m Homer and I live with my brother Dulac. We lived with someone for four years, but unfortunately she was moving and couldn’t take us with her, so she dropped us off here.

I’m an adventurous guy who loves to run around and play with everyone. My brother Dulac on the other hand is still having a rough time adjusting to our new “temporary” home. I know that if he meets the right person or family he will surely warm up after a while. I know he probably doesn’t want to get attached because he probably thinks someone will just get rid of us again.

Please come over and visit us, we know you’ll love us and take good care of us!

Note: Homer must be adopted along with Dulac

Ruth
Name: Ruth
Adoption #: MA0459
Gender: F
Age: Adult

Hey there! My name is Ruth and I was rescued some time ago from a municipal shelter. I had a bit of a rough start because I was really nervous, but the people here at the Animal League treated me really well and even let me stay in the habitat where I’ve felt a lot more comfortable. I love lounging around, napping by the window and running around with my cat pals but nothing’s the same as a real home. I’m a really pretty girl and I know I would be a great friend to you. Please come and see me, I promise you won’t regret it!

Timmy
Name: Timmy
Adoption #: H127705
Gender: M
Age: Young Adult

Purr! My name is Timmy; aren't I handsome?! As the model that I am, a cage is no place for me. I would love to go with you and walk the catwalk in your home. Of course I do love spending my days on top of the cat perch and playing with my cat pals here in the cat habitat but would prefer to be in your home cuddling up with you. Ask an associate to meet me. I guarantee once you gaze into my eyes it will be love at first sight!

If you are interested in adopting Timmy, contact ChristinaT@AnimalLeague.org

Please feel free to stop by and pet, play and cuddle with these amazing cats. We know that the cats of the Cat Habitat will inhabit your heart.
