Story
Meet Mowgli – The Jungle Booked & Ready for His Next Chapter 🐾❄️ Yes, that's Mowgli. Like The Jungle Book… minus the jungle, plus a whole lot of snow-white fluff. This 12-year-young gentleman is a stunning all-white heartthrob with electric green eyes that could stop traffic (or at least make you hand over the treats). Don’t let the “senior” label fool you — Mowgli is spry, social, and very much convinced he’s in his prime. He’s basically 12 going on 5. Mowgli recently found himself in need of a new adventure because his beloved owner is battling dementia and can no longer care for him — or himself. It’s a heartbreaking change for both of them, but Mowgli is handling it with the quiet grace of a true king of the (living room) jungle. This neutered gentleman is: Extremely friendly Delightfully affectionate Young at heart Rocking that snow-white coat like it’s couture He’s the kind of cat who will happily supervise your day, keep your lap warm, and remind you that companionship is one of life’s greatest treasures. Mowgli is Senior-to-Senior eligible and qualifies for Pets for Patriots, making him an especially wonderful match for a loving home looking for a loyal, steady companion. Seniors have a special kind of magic — they’re past the chaos, full of gratitude, and masters of meaningful moments. Mowgli has already lived his first chapter. Now he’s ready for his forever-after. Who’s ready to let this gentle jungle prince rule their heart? 🐾💚

Story
Smokey is an 11-year-old black male cat. He is good with other cats as he pretty much leaves them alone. He is in good health. Smokey is affectionate, but can be shy at times. He was returned with available Febe when their owner could no longer care for them. Smokey was born around February 9, 2015, and is currently being fostered in Naugatuck. He is fixed, up-to-date on shots, and has tested negative for FIV/FeLV. All of our cats and kittens are cared for in loving foster homes. "Meet and Greets" can be arranged only after an application has been submitted and approved. Applications for adoption can be found at our website at www.fosterandforever.org. Our volunteers do their best to respond within 24-48 hours.February 20, 2026, 10:44 am

Double the Fun: Meet Dipper & Mabel! This adorable brother-sister duo is searching for a forever home together — and their bond is just as special as they are. Dipper (male) and Mabel (female) came to us from the same home after their family found themselves overwhelmed with too many kitties due to not spaying and neutering. Through it all, these two have stayed side by side, offering each other comfort and confidence. Mabel is the more confident of the pair — and she’s truly one of a kind! This beautiful girl has two different colored eyes, making her as unique on the outside as she is sweet on the inside. She warms up quickly, leans in for head rubs, and loves showering her people with affection. Dipper takes his cues from his sister. He may hang back at first, but once he feels safe, his gentle, loving personality shines. With Mabel nearby, his confidence blossoms, and you’ll see just how sweet and playful he really is. At about 5–7 months old, they are full of kitten energy and ready to bring joy to their forever family. They previously lived with many other cats and may do well with a calm, quiet dog. Because they can be a little shy at first, they would thrive in a home with older, respectful children. Dipper and Mabel will be spayed/neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped prior to adoption. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to this stunning bonded pair, apply today at boomersbestbuddies.com. Two sweet souls. One unbreakable bond. And a lifetime of love waiting to happen.

Double the Love: Meet Powder & Aspen! These two gorgeous girls are a bonded pair looking for a forever home together — and trust us, once you meet them, you won’t want to separate them! Powder and Aspen came to us from a local shelter after their previous family found themselves with far more kitties than they could care for due to not spaying and neutering. Thanks to rescue, these sisters are now safe, thriving, and ready for their next chapter. Aspen is the more confident of the two. She warms up quickly and is the first to ask for head rubs and affection. She’s curious, social, and loves being part of the action. Powder follows her sister’s lead and is just as sweet. She may take a moment to feel comfortable, but once she does, she’s gentle, loving, and happiest right by Aspen’s side. At about 5–7 months old, these girls are playful, affectionate, and full of kitten charm. They previously lived with many other cats and may do well with a calm, quiet dog. Because they can be a little shy at first, they would do best in a home with older, respectful children. Powder and Aspen will be spayed, fully vaccinated, and microchipped prior to adoption. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to this beautiful bonded duo, apply today at boomersbestbuddies.com.
