Reese, an orange cat with a distinctive snaggle tooth and a perpetually offended look, returned to the Orphans of the Storm shelter in 2021 after being rescued as a stray kitten from Mundelein, Illinois. He spent nearly five happy years in his first home before being returned at the end of August when his family’s circumstances changed.

The shelter, a no-kill facility in Chicago’s northern suburbs, quickly recognized Reese’s unique personality. He is described as fun, quirky, and sweet, and he is notorious for inspecting every bag, purse, and pocket in the room. His snaggle tooth is healthy and considered a charming quirk.

Reese loves attention, adores his people, and makes wonderful company. After sharing his story, the rescue was able to find a new family who appreciated all of his quirks. Reese is now settled in a new house, ready to investigate every bag and pocket.
