Story
We are looking for a loving home for our very affectionate and bright cat named Bianco. He is very smart, friendly, loving, playful and loves to hang out when watching TV. He does give out his little paw when saying hello at times and he just loves to cuddle. Emotionally this has been soooo very hard and we are hoping to find him a calm, caring home where he will be truly loved. Bianco deserves a family who can give him more affection and attention than we are currently able to provide.Bianco was born May 2012 and I adopted him from the Branford Compassion Club, Branford CT back in March of 2013. He is up to date on his shots and goes to the vet for his regular check-ups.Please feel free to reach out to me for questions

🐾 Two Brothers Looking for a Forever Home Together 🐾Meet Alexander and Max — two handsome tabby brothers who need a new home, and we're hoping to find them the perfect family together. They belonged to someone very dear to us who passed away recently, and honoring his wish to keep them together means everything.About them:• Alexander is the sweet blue/gray tabby (pics 1 & 3) — calm and distinguished • Max is the bold brown tabby (pics 2 & 4) — always ready to investigate (and guard his toy ball!)• Both are ~5 years old — past the kitten chaos, full of personality• Brothers who have been together their whole lives• Located in Hamden, ConnecticutBonded pairs are actually a joy — they keep each other company, play together, and settle into a new home faster because they have each other. You get double the love with half the guilt of leaving one cat home alone.We are looking for a loving home that will keep Alexander and Max together and give them a stable, 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
**She is in Foster Home Currently **Kali is a black beauty who is 4 years old. She has lived with her owner since she was a baby. Her owner and her had a very loving relationship. However her owner has passed away a few months ago and we are trying to find her a forever home where she will be loved and taken care of. Kali is protective and loves the people she lives with. She would do best in a quiet relaxing home. She is quiet at first but will warm up. She needs to be the queen of the castle. She would love to sit with you and be pampered.

He is neutered, vaccinated for rabies and distemper, microchipped, feline leukemia/FIV negative, and is current on flea/tick preventative. Interested in meeting Otto?
