Story
Melo (Carmelo) is an outgoing, friendly, talkative cat. He was adopted from Danbury rescue when he was a few months old. He will be 4 in March (3.14). We’ve tried our best to keep him as he is such a lovable, funny cat however we’ve developed allergies that make it impossible. He is good with any and everyone and warms up quickly. He is good with other cats as well, he’s only been around a dog for a short time but had no issues. He will keep you entertained, he is so much fun!

Story
I am looking for a loving and responsible home for my 1-year-old female Turkish Van cat. She is friendly, playful, affectionate, and enjoys spending time with people. She has a sweet personality and would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a loving cat. Unfortunately, I have recently started developing allergies, and as much as I love her, I feel that finding her a new home where she can receive the attention and care she deserves is the best decision for her. I am hoping to find someone who will treat her like family and provide her with a safe, caring environment.

Story
Meet Blue 🩵 – Sweet, Snuggly, and Full of Love Blue is my sweet girl cat my husband gave me just three weeks into dating — and she’s been part of our story ever since. She absolutely adores my oldest daughter; they were inseparable, and their bond has been so special to watch. Blue is incredibly affectionate and gentle. She loves to snuggle up close, jump onto cozy spots, and play around the house. She’s soft, loving, and happiest when she’s near her people. Unfortunately, my youngest daughter, Luna, is very afraid of small animals. After 6–8 months of trying to acclimate them, it hasn’t worked. Blue (and Kaya) have been confined to one room, and they deserve space, freedom, and more interaction. Ideally, we’re hoping for a long-term foster or a loving permanent home. I would love for them to stay together (and possibly Kaya as well), but separate placements are okay if needed. Thank you for considering giving her the home she deserves. 🩵

Story
NOTE: The listing says she is microchipped, but she is not. I don't know how that got set and I can't find any way to edit this.I adopted Rozzy from a local shelter 3 years ago. She was a 5 month old kitten from a feral litter found after the mother was likely caught by a coyote. She is sweet but very skittish. She does not allow herself to be held, she would do best with other cats.

Story
Toby was born in June but I can’t remember the exact date so we just celebrate his birthday on June 9th. He’s 5 now. I had to move out of a toxic environment and my landlord doesn’t accept pets. I pleased and offered to pay pet rent but there’s no budging. He’s really sweet and loves to cuddle. He doesn’t like human food at all, I tried everything, he just likes his cat food (Iams or Friskies but only the seafood flavors). You can literally leave a whole plate of food on the table and he’ll just smell it and walk away. He’s a little chunky but that’s great for cuddles. Please do not change his name, he only knows “Toby”. I really need a new home for him or we’ll be homeless. I am begging.

Story
Indy came to HHR from a VERY tough neighborhood where he and his housemates were thrown outside. Indy is a super sweet boy who loves to play. He gets along great with other cats and would be fine with respectful children as well. He has never lived with dogs. Indy has a mild case of (what is assumed to be) cerebellar hypoplasia. This is a permanent condition (similar to cerebral palsy) and does not affect his quality of life one bit. It does give him a wobbly gait- something we find endearing. Indy is about 2 years old. He is neutered, vaccinated, FIV/FeLV negative, microchipped, and current on flea/tick prevention. To meet him, please visit our website www.HalfwayHomeRescue.org and complete an application. Adoption donation $275.
