Story
Meet Zayne, a six-year-old gray and white tuxedo gentleman with the softest eyes and the sweetest soul. Zayne came to our rescue as a surrender alongside four other beloved housemates after their owner moved away and didn’t take them along. It’s been a big life change for him, and while the transition hasn’t been easy, he’s slowly learning that he’s safe and cared for. Once Zayne gets to know you, his gentle and affectionate nature really shines. He happily accepts pets and leans into your hand for more, soaking up the attention in his quiet, understated way. He’s a sensitive boy who just needs a little time and patience to feel comfortable — but once he does, he’s all yours. Zayne seems to truly enjoy the company of other cats, and we would love to see him adopted with one of his former housemates or into a home that already has a friendly feline companion. At six years old, he’s past the wild kitten phase and prefers a more relaxed lifestyle. You’ll often find him perched in his cat tower, observing the world around him, or curled up in a cozy bed enjoying a peaceful nap. If you’re looking for a calm, loving companion who will reward your kindness with quiet devotion, Zayne may be your purrfect match. He is currently at the Purrfect Lounge in Plainville, a cat lounge where guests can visit and play with the cats. All meet & greets for Zayne will take place there, giving you a chance to see his sweet personality in action! Book your visit at https://www.purrfect-lounge.com. His adoption fee is $250 ($200 goes to the rescue, $50 to the lounge) and Zayne is vaccinated, FIV/FELV negative, microchipped, and neutered. If you're interested in this sweet boy, please fill out an application at https://form.jotform.com/201805462692153. For questions, email info@happilyfureverafter.org.

Story
Hi there… my name is Teddy Bear, and yes, I live up to it. I’m a one-year-old black and white tuxedo gentleman with classic good looks and an even sweeter personality. With my perfectly dressed coat and bright, curious eyes, I carry myself with all the charm and refinement you would expect from a proper young gentleman. I’m a gentle soul who is ready to blossom in a loving home of my very own. I may take a moment to settle in, but once I know I’m safe and loved, my affectionate side shines. I enjoy quiet companionship, cozy spots to nap, and being near my people. I would love a home where I can stretch out in a sunny window, greet you after a long day, and remind you just how comforting a sweet tuxedo boy can be. If you’re looking for a refined, loyal companion to grace your home with elegance and warmth, I would be honored to fill that role. I’m ready to find my forever family and become someone’s very special boy. For more information about adopting me, please email ccrnewengland@gmail.com. I can’t wait to meet you.  February 22, 2026, 3:25 pm

Story
Meet Henry, an orange & white four-month-old cutie with a sunny personality to match his coloring! This little guy made the journey all the way from Barbados to Connecticut after being found as a stray, and now he’s ready to start the best chapter of his life — with a furever family. Henry is the perfect blend of affectionate and playful. He loves attention, happily soaking up pets and cuddles, but he’s just as happy chasing toys and romping around with his foster buddy, Woody. The two of them play beautifully together, and Henry truly shines when he has a feline friend by his side. He absolutely loves other kitties and depends on that companionship to thrive, so he must be adopted with a friend of his or into a home that already has another playful cat. If you’re looking for a sweet, social, and fun-loving kitten to bring joy into your home, Henry is your boy. His adoption fee is $275 and Henry is vaccinated, FIV/FELV negative, microchipped, and neutered. If you're interested in this little cutie, please fill out an application at https://form.jotform.com/201805462692153. For questions, email info@happilyfureverafter.org.

Story
Meet Woody, an 11-month-old DSH cutie with a big personality and an even bigger heart! This adventurous little guy made his way all the way from Barbados as a stray, and now he’s ready to find his furever home in Connecticut. Woody is affectionate to the max — he loves snuggling up and even sleeps with his humans! He’s highly food-motivated and loves using his paws to explore and interact with his world. Curious and playful, he enjoys being part of all the action, whether it’s climbing his tower, chasing toys, or just hanging out with the people he adores. He gets along wonderfully with other cats, thriving on companionship and playtime, so a home with another feline friend is highly preferred. Woody is the perfect mix of snuggle buddy, playful explorer, and loving companion — ready to steal your heart from the very first purr. His adoption fee is $275 and Woody is vaccinated, FIV/FELV negative, microchipped, and neutered. If you're interested in this little cutie, please fill out an application at https://form.jotform.com/201805462692153. For questions, email info@happilyfureverafter.org.

Story
Meet Susie, an eight-month-old white & tabby DSH with a story that spans miles and a heart that’s just waiting to bloom. This island girl made her way to us all the way to Connecticut from beautiful Barbados, and while her journey has been a big one, she’s ready to finally settle into a furever home of her own. Susie can be a little shy at first and appreciates a gentle, patient approach as she gets to know you. New environments can feel overwhelming, but give her a little time and space, and you’ll see her sweet personality start to shine. Once she trusts you, she transforms into a total love — soaking up affection, leaning into pets, and quietly adoring her people. She plays well with other cats and truly thrives with feline companionship, so she must be adopted into a home with another kitty friend. A confident cat buddy will help her continue building confidence and feeling secure. If you believe that the best bonds are the ones built with patience and love, Susie just might be your purrfect match. Her adoption fee is $275 and Susie is vaccinated, FIV/FELV negative, microchipped, and spayed. If you're interested in this little cutie, please fill out an application at https://form.jotform.com/201805462692153. For questions, email info@happilyfureverafter.org.

Story
I adopted Bonnie in October of 2020 when she was 10 weeks old. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching her grow and mature over the years. She is a sweet, funny, lovey cat. She loves to cuddle and play, and is good with children. I am moving across the country and can’t take her with me which breaks my heart. I just want her to go to a good home!!
