Story
Pika is a 13-year old tortie that previously lived in a home with other cats. She needs to go to a home with another cat that wants a friend. She has never been very comfortable at the Adoption Center and needs a quiet home to come out of her shell. She will need a patient adopter that is willing to build a trusting bond with her. She loves catnip, so that is the way to her heart! Are you able to give this lovely lady a new home?This cat is waiting for it's Forever Home! Email adoptions@ctcatconnection.org with a question or better yet, complete an application for quickest consideration. (Application: https://www.ctcatconnection.org/adoption-application/). Select cats can be fostered instead! Apply on our website.A cat's behavior in the shelter may not be what it will be like in your home; if the cat is nervous, anxious, or agitated, please know that a shelter is a very stressful place for a cat. Most often, in a home, they thrive!Kitten Policy: Kittens must be able to socialize with other young cats or dogs as playmates, as it is important for their development. Therefore, CT Cat Connection has a policy that kittens ​and teenagers up to 12 months of age are adopted in pairs unless there is another animal in the household as a playmate and companion.Due to demand, we do not place cats or kittens on hold. Your visit to the shelter is to meet all cats or kittens available for adoption at the time of visit.If you or anyone you know is interested in helping the shelter, we are always looking for foster families of our cats and dogs, as well as in-person volunteers, to assist with animal care. Fill out an application, which can be found at https://www.ctcatconnection.org/get-involved/

Story
Meet Edgar & Jack Sparrow, a dynamic duo looking for their forever couch (and heart). Edgar and Jack Sparrow are a deeply bonded pair of handsome black-and-white boys who have already shared years together and truly need to stay side by side. Edgar is 4½ years old, Jack Sparrow is 3, and both are solid, cuddly big boys weighing in around 15 pounds each. More to love, more to snuggle. These two were adopted once and sadly returned, but they have not let that dim their love for people one bit. In fact, their greatest joy is you. Your attention. Your lap. Your presence. Edgar will happily climb right into your lap to make sure he’s getting his fair share of affection, while Jack Sparrow sticks close by, soaking it all in. They are playful without being wild. Edgar goes crazy for a laser pointer, while Jack Sparrow prefers chasing wand toys with graceful enthusiasm. After playtime, they are perfectly content to lounge, relax, and be near their favorite humans. Edgar and Jack Sparrow are laid back, affectionate, and adaptable, and they would do well in just about any home that is willing to give them the love, time, and companionship they so clearly crave and deserve. What they want most is simple: a forever home where they can stay together and be cherished as the incredible pair they are. If you’re looking for double the love, double the companionship, and two devoted shadows who will adore you endlessly, Edgar and Jack Sparrow are ready to sail straight into your heart. 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. Location: Bolton, CTAdoption Fee: $500 for the pair ##1644977##

Story
Meet Winter, a five-month-old white beauty with a soft, gentle presence and a heart full of love. She was found as a stray alongside her equally adorable brother, Frosty, and she’s been melting hearts ever since. Winter is a bit on the shy side at first and may take a little time to feel comfortable in a new environment. Once she does, her personality blossoms—she enjoys playtime, exploring the house, and soaking up pets just like her brother. With a little patience and reassurance, Winter becomes a sweet, loving companion who truly enjoys being part of the action. She absolutely loves other cats and would do best being adopted with Frosty or into a home that already has a friendly kitty. Her gentle demeanor and playful side would make her a lovely addition to a calm, loving home, including one with respectful children. If you’re looking for a sweet girl who will reward your patience with affection and companionship, Winter is ready to warm your heart. Her adoption fee is $250 and Winter 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.

Meet Frosty, a five-month-old white kitten with the tiniest smudge of gray that makes him extra special. He was found as a stray alongside his equally adorable sister, Winter, and he’s been melting hearts ever since. This happy little guy is full of joy and curiosity.

With his playful, gentle nature, he’d also be a wonderful addition to a family with kids. If you’re looking for a sweet, social, and fun-loving kitten to bring some extra sparkle into your home, Frosty is ready to meet you!
