Calico kittens & cats in Derby, Connecticut

Meet Ambrosia & Pepper — a bonded pair of sweet senior sisters looking for a soft place to land together. At 16 years young, Ambrosia, a stunning calico, and Pepper, a sleek black beauty, came to us after their beloved owner moved into assisted living and heartbreakingly couldn’t take them along. These girls have been together their entire lives, and that bond is everything. The girls are so snuggly—truly the definition of gentle, patient, and loving companions. If you’re looking for a lap cat or devoted co-worker that will supervise you while supplying some loving headbutts throughout the day, look no further! Ambrosia is the queen, and she absolutely knows it. She’s friendly, confident, and very vocal about what she wants—mostly pets, attention, and admiration. She’s always happy to be picked up and cuddled, and she often keeps her foster company by lounging on the desk while they work, just soaking up love. She boldly explores her surroundings and will happily remind you if you’ve stopped petting her for too long. Pepper, her sister, is the quieter half of the duo. She prefers that you come to her safe space at first, but once you do, she melts into affection—rubbing all over you, soaking up endless pets, and happily being held while purring away. She may take a moment to warm up, but when she does, she blossoms into an incredibly loving and devoted companion. Her calm, gentle presence makes her perfect for a peaceful home. These two must be adopted together—they’ve shared sixteen years side by side and truly rely on one another. Ambrosia can be a bit of a boss around other kitties (except for Pepper), so they’d do best in a home without other cats. They haven’t had experience with dogs. If you have room in your heart and home for a devoted senior pair who will reward you with love, personality, and years of companionship, Ambrosia and Pepper are ready to spend their golden years with you. Their adoption fee is $400 for the pair, and Ambrosia & Pepper are vaccinated, FIV/FELV negative, microchipped, and spayed. We also did bloodwork on the two of them and they both came back in perfect health. They also qualify for our senior-to-senior program, so if you’re 60 years or older, you can adopt them for just $300. If you're interested in this darling duo, please fill out an application at: https://form.jotform.com/201805462692153. For questions, email info@happilyfureverafter.org.

Spotted her on my back deck July 2023. Uploaded to pawboost.com without a result to this day (no luck getting help from the local shelter either) Two choices: 1. Having a starving/sick animal living under my deck (freezing to death some months later). 2. Take her in at least for the time being. # Never climbed, or touched my screen door, since day one it appeared on my deck # Never jumps on the counter or the tables # Gentle, quiet and timid - exact opposite of high-energy/mischievous pet videos you may find on the internet

Meet Holly Hobby Holly Hobby is a stunning dilute calico beauty with mesmerizing golden eyes and a quiet grace that will melt your heart. Holly loves to be petted and will look at you with those eyes so that you can't help but oblige! Petting her is very satisfying because she stretches her body into your hand to get the most out of your offered pets. Holly is a gentle girl who thrives in a nurturing environment, as well as having a flare of the calico confidence. She is looking for a warm companion who is happy to hand out pets. She is a quiet, easy kitty who requests pets by reaching out a paw and cute mew, and then leans into enjoy them. She is on a prescription diet to prevent crystals in her bladder. She eats her prescription food well. That is the only special care she needs. She will do best in a home with adults or a kind-hearted singleton. She also needs people who understand that not every cat enjoys being picked up. When her foster picks her up, Holly just lodges her complaint with management by squiggling and squirming. This sweetheart wouldn't resort to claws! She currently lives peacefully with other 4 cats and 4 kittens and would be happy in a feline-friendly home — or she’d be just as content being your one and only. Canine visitors put her on her guard. She is very tidy with her litter box. She loves a comfy blanket and a good view of cat TV. Holly Hobby asks if you will be her friend?

Abilene is the kind of kitten that makes your heart ache in the gentlest way. At just seven months old, she’s still very much a baby — a tiny, delicate little soul who is learning that the world can be kind. She’s shy when meeting new people and cautious with new cats at first. She likes to take her time, sitting back and watching everything with her big, thoughtful eyes before deciding it’s safe. She doesn’t rush into new situations… she tiptoes into them. Watch her YouTube video now https://youtu.be/4bC-8_NEjGU?si=YL3j080KH00foKSw And there is something so incredibly sweet about that. Abilene isn’t loud or demanding. She’s soft. She’s gentle. She’s the quiet little girl in the room who just wants to feel safe. But once she does? Oh, she blossoms. With other cats, she may be shy in the beginning, but once she gets to know them, she truly loves having kitty friends. She finds comfort in them and enjoys their company in the sweetest, most peaceful way. A calm, friendly feline sibling would likely help her confidence grow even more. And when playtime starts? It’s like watching the sunshine peek through the clouds. The shy little girl disappears and suddenly she’s chasing toys, pouncing, batting at anything that moves. She plays with her whole tiny heart. In those moments, you see the happy, playful kitten she’s meant to be. It’s beautiful to watch her forget her worries and just be a baby. Abilene would thrive in a patient, loving home — somewhere calm where she can settle in at her own pace. She doesn’t need perfection. She doesn’t need excitement. She just needs someone gentle. Someone who understands that shy kittens aren’t broken — they’re just tender. The best part about a kitten like Abilene is the bond you’ll build. When a shy girl chooses you, it means everything. Every small step forward feels like the biggest victory. Every moment of trust feels earned and precious. She isn’t the bold kitten who runs up to everyone. She’s the one who will quietly steal your heart. Abilene is waiting for someone to see how special she is. Someone who will give her the time to bloom into the confident, playful sweetheart she already is on the inside. If you have a soft spot for the shy ones… Abilene just might be your girl. Adopt her now!! Application: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6984f47eb1bace1e6a018ff9 Questions?
