Jemma - Domestic Long Hair Cat for Adoption in Chicago, Illinois

Mama Jemma is a gem for sure. She is very loving towards people as well as her kittens. She loves to sleep with her people and waits for her foster mom at the door seeking attention whenever she comes into the room. Jemma has never scratched anything besides designated cat scratchers. She is so thoughtful of her babies she lets them eat first. You can also hear her talking to her babies and keeping them in line with her chirps.

Jemma was a regular at the home of a colony caretaker in Little Village. When she reached out to PPAH for help placing her, the caretaker was concerned because Jemma kept having litter after litter of kittens and was about to give birth again. We found a foster and rescued her just in time. On March 13, 2026 her kittens were born: Romeo, Ringo, Doc, and Amber.

Jemma is around 4 years old. She can be adopted with one of her kittens or into a home with another young, friendly cat with whom she can play, snuggle, and socialize.
