Frankie is a beautiful, blue-eyed, purebred Himalayan. He is sweet and gentle and, before he was abandoned, he was declawed (all four claws). This quiet boy loves to be brushed and petted and absolutely loves to lie in laps and get attention.

He was dumped in a cat carrier at PetSmart, and he was in horrible shape. Luckily, Aid to Animals was able to provide a loving environment and the care he needed to get healthy and feel safe again.

Frankie would love a quiet home where he can be the center of attention. He does get along with select other cats, but he’s very picky about whom he wants to share his home with.

Frankie comes spayed, and a dental cleaning will be included with his adoption. He is about seven years old.

For more information about Frankie and how to visit him, please call Stacey Vrame at (847) 458-6325. Leave a message and say you want to visit the handsome cat – Frankie – the Himalayan. She’ll call you back.

Aid to Animals is a small rescue located in Barrington. They have been rescuing dogs and cats and are always in need of foster homes.

Remember: Adopt a dog or cat! There are tens of thousands of homeless animals in the Chicago area alone that are waiting for a loving home. Here are some of the places to visit when looking for a family addition.
