Story
My name is Chadwick, but my friends called me Chad. I am an EXTREMELY handsome 1-2-year old with very unique markings. I’m a lucky guy, as well, in that some nice lady was taking care of me and continued to take care of me when she found that I had no home. She contacted Kitty Connection who put me on a waiting list. Fortunately space opened and I’m now safely inside! I am FIV positive but I'm very healthy and have a long and hopefully happy life ahead of me. I enjoy being petted and hope it won’t be long before somebody gives me a forever home.

Story
I am Squid (female, 3 years old) and this is my best friend, Mr. Spot (male, 2 years old)! I love to play fetch with my favorite toy mouse; be pet around my ears, face, and back; and sit next to or on the laps of our humans. Mr. Spot loves to be picked up, snuggle with our humans, and to lick their faces. While we are young adults who no longer have crazy kitten energy, we still love to jump for the cat dancer and chase a toy. Our family adores us, but the senior cat in our house has not been willing to accept us--despite our family trying everything. So, we are looking for a new forever home where we can stay together and share our love with new humans. We would do well in a home with a respectful dog or children. Our listed adoption fee is for both of us, total. We're more than worth it!

Story
Simon is a handsome 3 year old boy who was found as a stray. He can be a little shy at first, but once he feels comfortable, his sweet and affectionate personality comes right out! Simon loves pets and head scratches! He’ll happily sit with you while you pet him, rub up against you, and get as close as possible. He definitely loves his attention and if he thinks you’re not giving him enough, he may even meow to let you know! Simon is FIV+, but that doesn’t stop him from living a happy, normal life! FIV+ cats can also live with other cats! Simon is looking for a patient, loving home where he can feel safe and soak up all the love he deserves.

Story
Hi, I'm Lady Luna! I'm 3 years old and now that I've finished raising my beautiful kittens, it's finally my turn to find a forever family of my own. I'm a very sweet girl, but I can be a little cautious when we first meet. I might give you a hiss to let you know I'm scared, but don't let that fool you - I'm secretly hoping you'll be patient with me. I like to take the lead when it comes to making new friends, and once I decide you're safe, I'll be right by your side asking for pets, cuddles, and all the love you can give. I came from a home where I was very loved, but one of the children developed allergies, so my family made the difficult decision to help me find a new beginning. I'm looking for a home where I can get lots of attention and be someone's special girl. I should do well with respectful kids and would probably be happy sharing my home with another friendly cat. If you're willing to give me a little time to settle in, I promise I'll reward your patience with endless affection. I can't wait to meet you!

Story
Hi, I'm Speedy, and yes, I'm as wonderful as my photos make me look. I'm 9-ish years old, although my exact age is a bit of a mystery. I came with my name when I was adopted as an adult back in 2017, and nobody ever saw a reason to change it. I guess I've always just been Speedy. Let me tell you a little about myself. I am very kind! I don't scratch, I don't bite, I'm not mean and I have not one bad bone in my body. I love people. I love kids. I love attention. Actually... I really, really love attention. I'm the kind of cat who wants to be where the people are. I give kisses. Ill groom you. Ill sleep at the foot of your bed. And once I decide you are my person, I'm pretty much all in. I'm also very tolerant of other animals. I can live with dogs—even puppies! I may not want to play with them, but once I'm comfortable, I'm perfectly happy sleeping next to them and cuddling. If a dog gets a little too close to my personal space, I might give a little warning pat. But I'm not vicious, and I'm not looking to hurt anybody. Other cats? No problem. Once I get to know them, I might even groom them. And apparently, I'm pretty smart, too. I can solve treat puzzles, and I kinda know how to give paw. I've even figured out how to break into a bread box and move free weights around so I could slide open doors. What can I say? I'm an excellent problem solver. I'm still active and playful like a much younger cat, but I'm also perfectly happy snuggling up with you. I'm even a gentleman at bath time and nail-trimming time. Yes, really. You can bathe me and trim my nails. I told you I was special. There is one thing I really, really need in my next home: lots of love and attention. My family loves me very much, but they've realized they just aren't able to give me as much attention and interaction as I need. And as much as it hurts, they want me to have the life I deserve. So I'm hoping for a home where someone wants a cat who is truly part of the family. Maybe that's a lively home with kids. Maybe its someone who wants a companion to share adventures with. Maybe its a family with other pets. Or maybe its simply someone who wants a sweet, affectionate cat who will follow them around, give them kisses, and curl up at the end of their bed. That's me. I'm Speedy and I have a lot of love to give. One important thing about me: I eat a urinary-health formulated food (Science Diet Urinary Care, an over-the-counter formula). I had urinary crystals once a long time ago, and they resolved after my food was changed. I've had no problems since, but my family has wisely kept me on urinary-health food ever since. So... what do you say? Could you be the person who gives me the love, attention, and happily-ever-after I've been waiting for? I'm ready to meet you!

Story
Meet Indigo & Loki: Two Sweethearts Looking for Forever, Together 🩶🧡 Indigo and Loki thought they already had their forever home. Now they’re hoping the next one truly will be forever. Loki is a handsome 9-year-old orange-and-white boy, and Indigo is his beautiful 13-year-old gray companion. These two were originally brought to Kitty Connection with the understanding that their stay would be temporary. Sadly, their owner never returned for them, and they are now looking for a new family to love them for the rest of their lives. Understandably, Indigo and Loki were a little frightened and unsure when they first arrived in foster care. But give these sweet cats a little time and kindness, and their true personalities begin to shine. Within a couple of weeks, they were relaxing, exploring, playing and, most importantly, discovering that their foster mom's lap was a pretty wonderful place to be. And yes, they will both try to fit on it at the same time. ❤️ Eventually someone decides it's a little too crowded, but don't worry, there are plenty of cuddles to go around. Loki is an affectionate guy who is perfectly content settling in beside you for some companionship. He loves attention but doesn't need to be the center of it every second. He's sweet, easygoing and enjoys being close to his person. Indigo, on the other hand, takes cuddling very seriously. This girl doesn't just want to sit next to you. She wants to be on you. She'll climb right up your chest to get close to your face, all while purring away. If you get up in the middle of the night, don't be surprised to hear a big MEOW! announcing that Indigo has noticed. A moment later, she'll likely be right at your feet. Her foster mom says Indigo sometimes looks like the Pink Panther, tiptoeing around, darting her head this way and that before deciding it's the perfect moment to pounce on Loki. She's quite the character and keeps her foster family laughing. Both cats are affectionate without being overly needy. They enjoy sleeping in bed with their people, although if things get a little too wiggly for their liking, they're happy to relocate somewhere quieter. They also love their catnip toys, enjoy playing, and still have plenty of fun and silliness in them. Most of all, Indigo and Loki love each other. After everything in their world changed, they had one constant: each other. We want to make sure it stays that way. At 9 and 13, they aren't looking for much. A safe home. A warm bed. A lap or two to share. Catnip toys to toss around. And someone who will love them for exactly who they are. They've already experienced the heartbreak of waiting for someone who never came back. This time, we'd love for someone to come for them and never leave. Indigo and Loki are looking for a forever home together. If you have room in your home and your heart for two incredibly sweet, affectionate cats, come meet them. We have a feeling it won't take long for them to find their way onto your lap...and into your heart. 🩶🐾🧡
