Story
Bubba the Brave: From Comeback King to Couch Companion Meet Bubba! A handsome grey tabby that is just under 7 years old looking to find his forever home. He is a very friendly and sweet cat and would do great in just about any home including one with children. He loves to get pet and will put his paw out to continue getting pet. Although Bubba is sharing space with other cats, we think he would prefer to be your one and only. He could be okay with another cat as long as the other cat is very laid back and ignores Bubba.  Bubba has been through a lot over the past 6 months, but he is now ready to find his forever home that he deserves. Here is a little history on Bubba's journey to us. Bubba was surrendered to Animal Control in August 2025 when his owner could no longer take care of him. When Bubba was surrendered, he was extremely overweight. While Animal Control worked on getting Bubba on a diet and getting some of those pounds off him, they noticed that he was drinking A LOT of water. Bloodwork was done where he was diagnosed with diabetes. Animal Control then asked us to help Bubba so that we could start him on insulin. Within 3 weeks of starting insulin, Bubba went into remission and continues to be! We recommend keeping him on a wet food diet and making sure to keep his weight at a good healthy weight to avoid him becoming diabetic again. Bubba also had some significant dental disease so Bubba had a dental procedure done where he needed to have a full mouth extraction, but the good news is he is feeling so much better and is now ready to find his forever home. After everything he has faced, Bubba is not looking for grandeur. He is looking for steady hands, a soft couch, and someone who understands that second chances are precious things. This silver-striped gentleman has done the hard work, shed the weight, conquered diabetes, powered through dental surgery, and come out the other side brighter than ever.  Now it is his turn to simply be adored.  If you are ready to open your home to a resilient, paw-reaching, heart-melting best friend who will happily claim you as his favorite human, Bubba is ready to claim you right back. His forever story is waiting to begin. Cats are negative for FelV/FIV, receive age-appropriate vaccines and deworming, are spayed/neutered and are microchipped (free lifetime registration with adoption). All of our pets go home with a "Go Home Goody Bag" that includes a starter supply of food, treats, toys, and a voucher for a free month of pet insurance from Trupanion.

Story
Enoki is spicy, spirited little girl who was found as a local stray. She loves other cats, but is still getting used to the idea of sharing her space with people. However, she's made great progress since she's arrived at the shelter! With patience, she'll let us pet her around her head and will settle down if you're gentle with her. We think in a quiet, experienced house willing to give her the time and space that she needs, she'll end up as a fun, playful girl that would thrive with a feline friend. For more information on Enoki, call AWS at 860-354-1350 email animalwelfare.socty@snet.net or visit our website aws-shelter.org for an application Adoption Fees for Senior cats (8yrs and up) is $50 Adult Cats $200 and Kittens under a year $250.

Story
Hamilton and Stark are brothers that are approximately 7 years old that we unfortunately have to rehome due to our baby being allergic. They are a little shy at first but once they are comfortable they are extremely affectionate, great lap cats and will snuggle all day and night. They are litter box trained and good with other cats and dogs. Hamilton has slight vision impairment but it does not impact him in any way. They are indoor cats and very low maintenance.

Story
Homer is a handsome young adult about 2 who loves to have attention and spend time with people. He gets along with other nice cats or would be happy as your kitty. He's very active and playful and needs someone who will interact with him to burn off some energy and/or another young playful kitty in the home. He's good with people of all ages and we think he would do well with a nice dog also. If interested in adopting, start at CatsCT.org to submit an application. See this kitty in purrson at PETCO, 4559 Main St, Bridgeport any time they're open!
