Meet Blackie,

This stunning lady is fearless and intelligent! Rescued from Egypt with her sister Salma, she has a spirited curiosity, always exploring her surroundings and she delights in discovering hidden nooks, playful hideouts, and the occasional sunbeam to bask in.

She definitely has a knack for problem solving!

Blackie will enjoy joining a quieter household environment with adults and older teenage children who can respectfully and gently interact with her. Blackie and her sister Salma have always lived together and have never known a life separate from one another. They share an unbreakable bond that transcends borders and therefore will need to be adopted together. They are not a fan of other animal companions and will need to be the only furry friends in the home.

Although she hasnt shown a strong preference for specific toys yet, her curiosity suggests a world of potential, as she eagerly investigates and interacts with various toys, leaving room for delightful surprises. This charismatic cat has discovered the fascinating world of cat videos, with an unbridled enthusiasm for on screen birds, fish and other critters, this whiskered comedian transforms herself pawing and attempting to outwit her virtual prey. She is sure to provide you with a daily dose of laughter!

Blackie needs her human friends and seeks out your company. She adores being with you and spending quality time together. While she may not be inclined to sit on your lap, she does prefer to stay close and eagerly welcomes gentle pets and affectionate moments.

**** This cat is a Himalayan related breed, meaning they might have some extra support needs beyond those of a normal cat. Before applying, we encourage you to research this breed at length to determine if it would be a good fit for your home. 

While their coats are beautiful, it does require daily brushing to keep their coat clean, healthy and to prevent matting. While their smooshy face is also super adorable, this means that he can easily get winded and is prone to overstimulation if engaged in too much play. Additionally, while there are no known medical issues now, as a brachycephalic breed, Himalayans are prone to difficulties with breathing, dental malocclusions, and eye conditions. An adopter must be prepared to take on any potential extensive medical responsibilities over this cats life. 

As a rescue organization, we cannot guarantee a cat is 100% purebred, but please keep in mind that premium breed pricing will apply. Applicants in Chicago land and surrounding areas will be prioritized but those distanced further will be considered if application criteria is met. ****

WE DO NOT HAVE A PHYSICAL LOCATION AS WE ARE A FOSTER-BASED ORGANIZATION. PLEASE SUBMIT AN APPLICATION TO BE IMMEDIATELY CONNECTED TO A SCREENER.
