About this Cat
Meet Patience – A True Queen in Every Sense Patience is a stunning long-haired calico with a petite frame, a calm spirit, and a heart full of love. As the devoted mama to the Virtue Litter—Honor, Wisdom, Wonder, and Grace—her name couldn’t be more fitting. She has poured every ounce of her gentle nature into raising her babies, always ensuring they are safe, well-fed, and deeply loved. Patience is the picture of maternal grace. She’s sweet, affectionate, and often seeks out gentle pets and scratches. She’ll hop into your lap or sit nearby for a bit of company—until mom duty calls, or she needs a few moments of peace and quiet (as all moms do). She’s never far, though, and if you call her name, she’ll come running with her soft, floofy tail and soulful eyes. Despite her elegant demeanor, Patience has a mischievous streak—especially when it comes to pizza. Don’t let her dainty size fool you; this girl once nabbed an entire slice of Lou Malnati’s deep dish and made a break for it like a true Chicago legend. While she may not always pose for the camera (busy moms rarely do), meet her in person and you’ll see—she radiates beauty inside and out. Once her sweet kittens are settled into their forever homes, Patience will be ready for her own chapter of rest, love, and well-earned pampering. Give this incredible mama the peaceful, loving home she so deeply deserves. She’s ready to be someone’s cherished companion—not just a mom, but a star in her own right. Patience is micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations, spayed/neutered , and litter box trained. Patience's adoption fee is $135. If you are interested in meeting Patience, please fill out our Online Application today! Once your application has been approved, an ARF volunteer will be able to contact you to arrange a meeting.

Adopt Patience and Receive Patience's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Patience's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Patience's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Patience, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Patience's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Patience was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Patience’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Patience’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Patience’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
