About Purrfect Paws
Faith Korey (owner)
Faith has volunteered for over 20 years in Cat Adopts and Cat Socialization at the Anti-Cruelty Society in the River North area of Chicago. She currently trains new volunteers on handling, care; and socialization of the shelter’s animals. She has been an animal lover her entire life and passionate about caring for others’ companion animals. As many of her former cats have lived to a ripe old age, she is very familiar with insulin injections, administering pills and giving hydration/fluids. She also is certified in pet CPR/First aid as well as a certified Professional Pet Sitter through Pet Sitters International.
Faith currently shares her home with two companion cats, Catpernicus and Shakespurr, as well as a lively cockatiel, Sushi.
Prior to opening Purfect Paws, Faith managed compensation and benefit programs for mid-sized to large corporations for over twenty-five years. She is a resident of the Lincoln Square neighborhood in the city for over thirty years. In her free time, she designs jewelry, travels internationally (catsitting in Paris each summer), rides her bike or power walks along the lakefront with her husband.
Catpernicus
Catpernicus is the newest member of our family. He’s a red Siamese born 7/4/23 and is a mini-me version of his older brother, Shakespurr. He was adopted from Forever Fortunate Felines Rescue.
Catpernicus is a curious, vocal, mischievous little firecracker.
My brother in Germany is a curator of scientific instruments such as old telescopes and astronomical clocks and suggested the name.
We were in love with this boy the minute we saw his photo.
Shakespurr
Shakespurr is a red Siamese born in 2020 and adopted from the Anti-Cruelty Society when he was around 1 and one half years old. He is vocal, opinionated, and mischievous. He could play fetch with his toys for hours and never get tired. He stole our hearts the minute we met him.

Sushi Annie Yakatori
Sushi is a white face cockatiel with three sisters. She was born in 2008 and adopted when she was three months old. Sushi loves to supervise the activities of her feline “brothers”, bobble head on command, and imitate high pitch sounds like doorbells.
