My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Profile and Pics:
Meet Alfred, our wonderful, resilient street survivor, ready for his forever home!

Our big, beautiful boy, Alfred, came to us from one of our feeding stations about a year ago. He seemed to be an old, stiff street cat worn down by life outdoors, and with winter setting in, we brought him inside. But when our vet examined him, we learned he was much younger than he looked; it was only his injured, shattered paw and gimpy hip damaged in some unknown trauma that made Alfred seem so ancient.

One year later, Alfred has absolutely blossomed in foster care. This 4-year-old boy has healed well enough to be a happy and mellow purring machine craving attention and companionship. Pat the couch next to you; he’ll be by your side in a flash. Hold up a brush, and he’ll take the lead, rubbing his chin against it, almost grooming himself!

Like many former tomcats biologically forced to fight for territory and love, Alfred tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV). But Alfred will live a normal life if given the love and care all cats deserve. What's most important about our Alfred is he’s a big, handsome, and soulful boy looking for a family to cuddle with. Alfred would be happiest as an only cat.

Are you ready to meet Alfred? The first step is to submit our adoption application at https://www.fofct.org/adoption-application. Adopters must live within 45 miles of Stamford, CT.

Their facility at 1029 East Main Street in Stamford has an adoption area inside the Just Cats Store on the first level.
