Small but feisty Ocee was hanging around Karen and family's porch at 48th and Champlain. She was causing a problem -- every time anyone saw her, she'd try to climb right into a lap! Ocee loves -- loves -- loves all people. Karen's child named Ocee ("Oh, see!") and the family committed to getting Ocee medical care and into a home. Now she's here and seeking a forever home.

Morning, I want to share another of the lovely Saturated Canary Digi Images with you today, this little Ragamuffin Girl image is Called Hand Me Down and she just called to be coloured in really bright colours, wow what a change for me but I loved doing it.     These Basic Grey papers were exactly the right match for the colours it is from the Piccadilly Pad available  from Dies to Die for .

Olive is an adorable cross-eyed tuxedo gal who is still adjusting to the "rigors" of indoor life. Fostermom Lauren C. says "she's quite playful once she's comfortable, and she's gotten very good at hiding in all sorts of nooks and crannies. She has the funniest meows -- it's often a high-pitched gargling sound. Someday she'll be a completely cuddly little kitty, but right now she's still hesitant

Morning Peeps, well finally its time for the Final Episode of the Princess crown Affair. I am quite sad to have finished this project but have another one in the pipeline.  It seems quite cold here this morning and I have had a bit of a battle with Mum to get her up, I know it it wouldn’t do any harm to leave her in bed, in fact I would like to be tucked up in mine  at the moment,  but that can

This cat was loitering around the back steps of Eric and Charlie's apartment in South Shore one weekday morning in December. He was purring loudly and rubbing against everything, and Charlie had to distract him so that Eric could leave for work without being tailed. Nearly 10 hours later when Eric returned, Charlie had left town on a business trip, but Clyde was still on the back steps, so he

Heartie is a young adult lady who is petite, sweet, and shy. Originally found living outdoors by a caring community member (thanks Gretchen), her confidence has continued to grow since she has been in her fosterhome, and she loves life as an indoor cat. She enjoys chasing balls and playing with stuffed mice. She loves to be petted by Fostermom. Her litter tray habits are impeccable and she

Morning Peeps, once again I am stunned by how kind you all are, such lovely messages of support of my decision to stand down from LOTV, but as I said yesterday they will always be in my heart  and just to prove it on todays card  I have used a Lili of the Valley stamp. Yesterday, I decided to really sort out my craft room, and I do mean sort out, I decided to be ruthless and throw away

Fergus is the most handsomest medium-haired tiger boy! He's a sweet and easy going boy who is fine with the company of other cats. He enjoys petting and playing, snuggling and chit-chatting. He was found by some caring community members, homeless and skinny and seeking some help. He's been in foster care for a bit now and has proven himself to be a real charmer! Everyone who meets him enjoys his

Hi all, I have made a really hard decision today,  I have stepped down from Lili of the Valley,  most of you will know how hard this decision has been to make, I have been with Lili of the Valley for a long time and I absolutely love their images, as I know you all do, and Lisa and Laila have been like family to me.  I have made so many friends through working for them especially  all you lovely

Gretchen was found around 54th and East View Park by the human Gretchen, she who brought us Heartie and Lucy (still available!). Gretchen is a darling dumpling, slightly rotund in the tum-tum area. She is responsive to people and enjoys being petted. Her current fosterplace has wall-to-wall carpet and she kind of scoots herself along on her side, pulling herself by the claws in order to continue

UHaul is on the market again.This gorgeous Maine Coone (type) man came to us in September from our local vet office, where he'd been abandoned by his previous owner.

A piece about adoptable Cava, by fostermom Irene: "When Cava first came to stay with me, she had nothing on her mind beyond the wellbeing of her four little kittens. She would stand at attention at dinner time, and then she'd let them feed, and she'd eat like the starving little thing she was -- we just called her Mama Cat because she was a mother and little else!

This New Year's Eve, cats and kittens in our fosterspaces -- like Roger, who was living in the Liliana Colony at 62nd and Cottage, or Curly, from our Pullman sister site -- await forever homes. Paulina and Heartie, shy kitties who were living outdoors for probably their whole lives, are inside and learning to love this New Year's Eve. Paulina has an adopter waiting for her, but Heartie still

December is usually our slowest time of year. We scramble for foster homes as our devoted fosterers take a break from their fostering duties to travel for the holidays. And usually there is very little interest in adoptions this time of year.Something great happened this December -- you could call it a [insert your winter holiday of choice here] miracle. EIGHT kitties found new homes. Yes,

Shia (Shy-a) was a starving stray found in the backyard of an apartment building. Despite being allergic to cats, her finder took her in when it became too cold for her to remain outside and named her Shia, which means “follower,” befitting of her sociable nature and tendency to follow her person around from one room to the next. She's a lovely green-eyed girl, about five, and she is always

Ellison has found his forever home just in time for the holidays! Forever mom and dad say "We love Ellison (now Balthazar) and his squeaky little meow, the way he stretches his whole body out for a tummy rub, and how quickly he became friends with our other cat, Portia. The two of them love to play-wrestle, sit together by the window, and "help" with research by settling down on stacks of paper

This little calico cutiepie was rescued from one of our numerous alleys. She is only about six or seven months old. Patches has been microchipped, spayed, vaxed, and tested for FIV and FeLV ... and she has such cute little pink jellybean pawpads!!! She says this grumpy face is only because she doesn't know if she will be opening a Hanukkah gift, a Christmas present, or a New Years Eve offering .

Our friend in cat-rescue Heather S. has worked very hard for the last several years TNRing her South-Side neighborhood of Pullman. Not only does she TNR in her neighborhood, she has pulled multiple friendly cats, such as the majestic Siegel off the streets. In her spare time she "enjoys" rescuing cats from highways.Heather has a special case she would like some help with, a black kitten named

Great news! Yesterday we brought Paxton to be tested for FIV/FeLV, and he is negative for both! Paxton had been discovered in a yard in a crate with another cat, and that cat was discovered to be dying from FeLV. Paxton seemed healthy, so we gave him some indoor fosterhome time before testing him (to rule out any false positives). And he's neg/neg, so this beautiful boy is healthy and ready to be

Jojo is a young beautiful male tabby. He was put outside by his owners, and ended up outside the door of one of our feral-cat colony caretakers, where he cried and cried, begging to be brought inside. He is extremely playful, enjoys people, has a bit of a superior attitude towards his fosterdogsister (understandable), and loves to play with his feather stick, and is looking fior a home where he

The past few weeks have been all kinds of crazy. I won't bore you all with details, but the finishing touch was certainly dramatic - being told by my GP today that I most likely have chicken pox. I cried because a) my secretary and my sister are pregnant at the moment, and I feel horrible I might have exposed them; b) it would mean I might miss my ballet concert; and c) I am super-vain and don't

Enjoy!We've had a couple sightings of a very small and scared black kitten around 55th and Everett. If you see or even capture this kitten, please let us know immediately. If possible, take the kitten inside and isolate

  Morning Peeps, I am finding it really hard to write this post after 4 years this week sees the last Lili of the Valley Challenge ,  I cannot believe how much the Challenge and Lili of the Valley itself has blossomed in this time,  but we are thrilled to tell you that Bev and Myself  are going to continue running it as “Lili’s Little Fairies” from January!!  There are some new faces on the DT

Fergus is a very friendly, sweet, and personable medium-haired tabby. Fergus approached Hyde Parkers Devin and Jen one evening near 55th and Cornell, meowing for attention. He had no collar and was quite thin, so they scooped him up and he made his way to us. Thanks to Devin and Jen for bringing him to the vet, too.Fergus knew he wanted to be a Cat with People, and he's very happy to be inside.

Readers,The end of the year is upon us and we are low on funds. If you are reading this post, could you donate even a small amount today? We treasure your support and the fact that donors give what they can. Together we make a big difference! We use donated funds to spay/neuter the cats. But all the cats we take into our adoption program also need follow-up care, such as boosters for vaccines.

Bubbles, aka Bubba, is a very handsome and very awesome cat. He was found drifting around the Parkview Katz colony (51st and Cottage Grove), unneutered and uncollared, although very dapper and fancy looking. He was clearly friendly, desperately wanting into a home. Caretaker Aimee brought him in for vetting and he is currently in our special safe house on campus. Bubbles is neg/neg for viruses,
