My personality

My story

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

Majo (grey, 3 months) may be the smallest of her litter, but she’s always had the biggest old-soul energy. Found orphaned in Hartford with her brother at just a week old, she was lovingly taken in by Fable and raised as her own.

Majo is a little shy at first, but it truly doesn’t take long—give her a couple of hours and she’ll decide you’re safe, then she’ll lick you to absolute death. She also looks to Thistle for guidance and is slowly learning her sister’s goofy, chaotic ways. Most of the time, she watches her siblings from the sidelines until she’s ready to join in. This tiny girl has a gentle, wise spirit and loves a warm nap, especially after dinner.

Thistle (tabby, 3.5 months) is her complete opposite. A bold, curious little explorer who believes life is for climbing, bouncing, and discovering. Whether she’s scaling the cat tree, riding the Roomba, or wrestling her siblings, Thistle is always on the move. She does wonderfully with both cats and dogs and happily settles in for cuddles when she’s finally tired.

Despite being opposites, Majo and Thistle are true yin and yang. They balance each other beautifully and always end the day curled up together. We are looking for them to be adopted as a pair—they really do bring out the best in each other.

Both kittens are spayed, fully vaccinated, and F/F negative.

More about this rescue

Despurate House Cats was founded to create a safe and welcoming environment where adoptable cats can find their forever homes. Based in New Milford, CT, it serves as a hub for animal rescue, advocacy, and community engagement.

Our vision goes beyond rescue. We are on a mission to build a compassionate community, raise awareness about animal welfare, and advocate for critical initiatives like Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) to reduce the feral cat population. Our goal is to increase adoptions, provide a sanctuary for at-risk cats, and create opportunities for people to connect with animals while supporting meaningful change.

Looking ahead, we are excited to share our future goal of opening a cat adoption lounge. This space will be more than just a place to meet adoptable cats—it will be a vibrant, cage-free environment designed to foster connections between people and animals. Our lounge will offer opportunities for community involvement, host events that celebrate and support rescue efforts, and provide an enriching, stress-free space for the cats in our care. This vision reflects our commitment to creating a meaningful and impactful experience for both our community and the animals we serve.
