Story
Roo is a fabulously handsome orange tabby with striking eyes and a very outgoing personality. A wonderful 2019 model, Roo came to shelter when his former home was not able to provide him with some much needed medical treatments. Roo had severe dental disease that required almost all of his teeth removed. He is recovered from that now. Roo has a lovely personality. He is often seen playing and getting in trouble! He will, no doubt, keep you in stitches. Most of all, he loves to receive attention through pets and scratches. If he could spend all day with you, we think he would definitely do that! If you sit down in his room, he'll jump up next to you for attention. Ideally, his new home would be calm and where his new people are prepared to provide him with the time he needs to feel safe and comfortable. You will also need to speak or meet with a member of our socialization team before he can go home.Roo is FIV +, but that should not affect his life expectation, but he should have regular vet visits and live in a stress-free home. Because of his history of dental issues, his new family must have an established relationship with a vet so that his overall health can be monitored. Please complete our online adoption application and come meet this very handsome guy!Go to our website, www.hartofme.org, to submit your online application today!***FKA = Formerly Known As

Story
Little Miss Sparkles is a short-haired tortoise shell (tortie) tabby girl who is about 16 weeks old and oh so playful.  She has all the fun kitten antics down pat.  She loves to play with the fishing dangly toy and is typical in her game of “knock things off the counters and watch them fall”.   Little Miss Sparkles is exuberant and zesty in personality, even though she started out as the smallest kitten in her litter.  For example, when we were trying to get her to pose on a drape covered stool for her picture, she would leap up there and knock the drape down instead of just stepping up there.  She can be timid around loud noises or strangers at first, but if you break out the wet food, she comes running!  Sparkles was rescued from the street under a construction dumpster (which was about to be moved) along with her 5 siblings (at about 5 weeks old) and solid black mother cat (about a year old).  With much love and patience, it has been satisfying to teach the kittens to enjoy being petted since they were so feral at first.  The mama cat, Pinochle, and 4 remaining kittens, Sparkles, Checkers, Sneakers and Argyle, are feeling better and are ready to find their new furever home. Paisley and Courage are already thriving in their new homes. Currently, it is being recommended to adopt two kittens so they can stay together and play together, which gives them needed exercise and keeps them company, thus preventing them from being lonely or stressed.  If you would like to adopt two siblings from this litter of kittens, please email us at ccrnewengland@gmail.com    They are READY NOW!!! Our vetting is extensive: Spay, rabies, FIV vaccine, FIV tested and negative, fecal and dewormings and a Drontal  and microchipped.
