Story
Hi! I’m Jackson! I’m a super friendly guy who’s settling into my foster home pretty quickly. I’ve already found a few favorite cozy spots—when I need some quiet time, you can usually find me curled up in my crate or tucked into a comfy corner, just relaxing and watching the world go by. One of my very favorite things? The kids helping take care of me! They give the best pets and the most amazing chin scratches. I lean right into their hands and purr to let them know how much I appreciate it. And if I’m really in the mood, I’ll even roll over and show my belly for some extra rubs! I’m sweet, affectionate, and happy to be part of the action or just lounging nearby. If you’re looking for a loving companion who enjoys attention but also knows how to chill, I might just be your perfect match.

Story
My name is Sylvester and I am a handsome 1-2 year old guy. I was abandoned and living on the street. Animal control came to pick me up and no one was looking for me. Kitty Connection took me to find a forever home. I’m starting to clean myself up and am very happy being inside. I’m a sweet guy who’s comfortable being held and enjoys having your attention. I seem to be fine with other cats and might be able to do well with a mellow cat-friendly dog. I hope it won’t be long before I find my forever home!

Story
Hi I am Boris! Totally cute, feisty, and full of energy! As a young cat ( 1-2yo), I have a lot of free time which I use to nap, explore, and play when the humans have time. I am very curious cat (chief inspector of all nooks & crannies at my foster house!) and very friendly with new humans. I really like string toys, but I can be a little feisty and enjoy roughhousing as I am full of energy! When the humans are busy, I like to nap nearby. Ideally, I would like a home with people who can spend a lot of time with me and give me lots of attention. My foster family thinks I would probably enjoy having a cat sibling as well! Help me find my furever home.

Story
Hi, my name is Violet, and I’m a two-year-old female tortoiseshell cat looking for a quiet, patient family to call my own. As a “spirit cat,” I tend to stay in the background, and you’ll probably spot me peeking out from my favorite cozy hiding spots rather than actively engaging with you. Once I feel safe, I love to be petted, and I’ll roll around and ask you to scratch behind my ears and rub my tummy. I thrive in peaceful environments, especially alongside other cats who understand my need for a tranquil home. I love hanging out with my quiet, older foster cat siblings; their calm presence gives me comfort and confidence. When the world settles down for the night, that’s when my playful side appears. I can’t resist sneaking around the house and playing with my catnip toys alongside my foster cat brother. I also love joining my foster cat siblings in treat breaks, especially my favorite Churu treats. If you’re looking for a quiet and sweet addition to your cat family, I’d love to meet you. With patience and love, I know I’ll bloom and fill your home with gentle companionship.

Story
My name is Trixie and I am a very sweet 4 year old lady. Sadly, my owner needed to surrender me because I was not happy with a therapy dog that needed to live with us. My mom wanted me to be happy so asked Kitty Connection to find we a home with no dogs. I lived with a child and other cats. If you are home more often than not, I could be an only girl. I do well with settling in to my new surroundings and hope I will have a forever home sooner than later. I’m a real sweet girl.

Story
Hi friends… it’s me, Bella! I’m a 3–4‑year‑old mama who just finished raising four beautiful kittens, and now that my babies are grown and thriving, it’s finally my turn to find a forever home. Let me tell you who I am… I’m a gentle, calm girl who loves being close to my people. Hold me like a baby and I’ll melt. Give me head kisses and I’ll purr instantly. I follow my humans around, I sleep in bed with them, and I adore my scratchy pad. Everyone always tells me I have the sweetest heart and the most gorgeous eyes. I’m a sensitive little soul who just wants love, safety, and someone to bond with. I do have two special preferences: I want to be an only cat I need a home with no dogs I’m looking for a quiet, loving home where I can be someone’s best friend. Could it be you? If you can’t adopt, would you share my post to help me find my forever family? Love, Bella
