Carissa's Story

Looking for an independent, low-maintenance couch companion? Then Carissa might be the gal for you. A previous foster called this mini-panther “super friendly and very relaxed,” for her favorite activities included napping in a sunny spot or gazing out the window. She didn’t demand a lot of playtime or attention, but when her favorite person came in the room, it wouldn’t take long for her to come sit nearby!

Are you Carissa’s new family? If you want a quiet pet who will keep you company without demanding too much attention, you might be this beauty’s perfect match!

Meet Carissa

Carissa can’t wait to meet you!

If you’re interested in adopting this pet, there are few steps you must complete before scheduling an appointment at our Lincoln Park Adoption Center:

1. Please start by taking our ComPETibility Quiz to make sure they’re a good fit for your home. Your ComPETibility Score will help you compare your home to their needs!

2. After completing your ComPETibility Quiz, you will be emailed a link to complete your Adoption Application.

3. Finally, schedule an appointment at our Lincoln Park Adoption Center! During your appointment, you’ll be able to meet all currently adoptable animals at our Lincoln Park Adoption Center and walk through the adoption process with our staff and volunteers. Appointments are not required but encouraged for a more efficient visit.

Please note that while we can’t place holds on adoptable animals for your scheduled appointment, there are always plenty of homeless pets looking for a home! If you don’t meet the perfect pet during your first visit to the Adoption Center, please feel free to schedule another appointment.

Want another way to spend time with our adoptable (or soon-to-be-adoptable) pets? Consider fostering.
