Story
Dante is an almost 2-year-old male cat who is nothing short of determined, resilient, and truly magnificent. He came to us with injuries to his legs, and through dedicated medical care and physical therapy, he continues to grow stronger and thrive each and every day. Despite his past, Dante is the ultimate snuggle bug. He adores attention and is, without a doubt, one of the sweetest boys you will ever meet. His gentle nature and loving personality make him a truly exceptional, one-of-a-kind companion. Dante is looking for a home as the only pet, where he can continue his healing journey while sharing (and receiving) endless love. If you're searching for a very special cat with a heart of gold, Dante may be the perfect match for you. Please contact michelle@ourcompanions.org or 860-242-9999 ext. 302 for additional information.

Story
Trinity, a gray tiger cat, was found outside with an odd injury to her front right arm. While outside, she was unable to receive proper care of the injury and by the time she was rescued, she needed an amputation. Our Sanctuary took in the sweet young cat, born Jan 2025, so she could recover in a safe space. Now fully healed, she becomes braver each day! Understandably timid, Trinity also has a playful, sweet, and curious side to her. She has even been hanging out with another young tri-pod amputee at our Sanctuary, Noelle! Trinity has a clean bill of health, is spayed, up to date of vaccines, and microchipped - All she needs now is a loving home! She doesn't interact with Noelle but doesn't mind her company, so she may do well with another calm, submissive cat. Seeking a gentle home with adults or older kids who understand patient bonding time so she can show you the playful, and affectionate kitty she is! She loves pets and brushing time. To learn more, please contact Our Companions at 860-242-9999 or email Helpline@OurCompanions.org!

Story
Like a calming cup of tea, Tetley is a gentle orange boy looking for an equally gentle person to take him home! He can be a very sweet, affectionate cat who now comes out for pets and brushing with a gentle coax. This older gentleman is also quite healthy with an estimated DOB of September 2015. Tetley came to us without any teeth but he's still a pretty good eater! Tetley was not doing the best with the other male cat he came in with; doing better on his own we feel he will thrive as a single pet in a quiet home where he can feel safe and secure with is people. Give him some time and he will sit on your lap or come down from snuggling in his cat tree for a brushing session. To learn more about adopting Tetley, contact Our Companions at 860-242-9999 or email Helpline@OurCompanions.org!

Story
Mako is a darling black and white cat seeking his purr-fect match in a low-key and loving home. He's being bullied by another cat in his current home, causing stress to little Mako. His pet guardian made the tough decision to seek out a new environment where Mako can be the only fish in the sea - swimming freely and getting spoiled by his people! Okay, he won't swim, but he will cuddle! Once you are in Mako's circle, he will gladly accept cuddles with happy drools, he likes being brushed and playing with feather wand toys. Mako is a foodie and only likes chicken flavored foods. Looking for a cat to cuddle and watch TV at the end of the day? Mako might be your match! Born sometime in 2016, he will enjoy a quiet indoor life as your one-and-only. To learn more about Mako, contact Our Companions at 860-242-9999 or email Helpline@OurCompanions.org!

Story
Meet Bolt, one of the adorable girls from the Home Depot Litter, born on February 1, 2026, alongside her siblings Drill, Nut, Hammer, Crowbar, and Jigsaw. Their sweet mom, Mama Depot, who was found living outside of a Home Depot with her newborn babies and older kittens, Wrench and Ratchet, came to our rescue at the start of February just three days after giving birth. Mama Depot did an incredible job raising her little family over the past couple months and now that her kittens are weaned, Bolt and her siblings are ready to find furever homes of their own. This sweet girl is playful, curious, and full of fun. She loves racing around with her siblings, chasing toys, and finding new adventures wherever she goes. Outgoing and affectionate, Bolt is happiest when she’s in the middle of the action and has someone to play with. When playtime is over, Bolt has a softer side too. She loves attention, enjoys cuddling, and is sure to bring lots of love and laughter to her future home. Bolt gets along wonderfully with other cats and must be adopted with one of her littermates or go to a home that already has another playful kitty waiting for her. She would also do great in a family with children as she's so friendly with everyone she meets. If you’re looking for a kitten who is sweet and full of personality, Bolt is ready to snuggle her way right into your heart! Her adoption fee is $275 and Bolt has received her first distemper vaccine, is FIV/FELV negative, microchipped, and will be spayed when of age. If you're interested in this sweet girl, please fill out an application at https://form.jotform.com/201805462692153. For questions, email info@happilyfureverafter.org.
