Story
Meet Grace & Hope Grace and Hope came to our shelter at just 4 weeks old, battling an upper respiratory infection. After weeks of care, we discovered they are FHV-1 positive (Feline Herpesvirus). Even so, these two are incredibly sweet and endlessly affectionate—complete with the loudest, happiest purrs. Because they are a bonded pair and FHV-1 is contagious to other cats, Grace and Hope will need to be adopted together into a home without other felines. With proper care, they can live happy, normal lives, experiencing only occasional cold-like symptoms. They currently receive Lysine supplements with their food and will do best in a calm, low-stress environment. If you’re looking for a pair of loving, gentle kittens to brighten your home, Grace and Hope might be the perfect match December 16, 2025, 10:59 am

Story
This cat is waiting for it's Forever Home! Email adoptions@ctcatconnection.org with a question or better yet, complete an application for quickest consideration. (Application: https://www.ctcatconnection.org/adoption-application/). Select cats can be fostered instead! Apply on our website.A cat's behavior in the shelter may not be what it will be like in your home; if the cat is nervous, anxious, or agitated, please know that a shelter is a very stressful place for a cat. Most often, in a home, they thrive!Kitten Policy: Kittens must be able to socialize with other young cats or dogs as playmates, as it is important for their development. Therefore, CT Cat Connection has a policy that kittens ​and teenagers up to 12 months of age are adopted in pairs unless there is another animal in the household as a playmate and companion.Due to demand, we do not place cats or kittens on hold. Your visit to the shelter is to meet all cats or kittens available for adoption at the time of visit.If you or anyone you know is interested in helping the shelter, we are always looking for foster families of our cats and dogs, as well as in-person volunteers, to assist with animal care. Fill out an application, which can be found at https://www.ctcatconnection.org/get-involved/
