You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact Teri (terik@tarasdream.org) for more information about this pet. About T.A.R.A. | Adopt | Volunteer | Donate Shadow is a sweet cat looking for his forever home after being abandoned by his previous owner. Shadow is a friendly, outgoing 8 year old male. He is shy at first, but once he trusts you he will warm up to you. He enjoys rubbing his chin on his fosters hand for affection.  He will probably do best as an only cat. Shadow is a diabetic kitty. Shadow is currently with a foster family, and they are doing a great job keeping  his diabetes under control by closely monitoring his diet, blood sugar and insulin levels daily. Shadow will need this daily care to keep him healthy and stable so he can enjoy many more years. The foster family can give you all the details needed to care for this sweet guy! Adoption Fee: $75 TARA's adoption fee includes: spay/neuter, age-appropriate vaccinations, microchip, FIV/FeLV Combo test, and deworming. A two-week trial is included as part of the adoption. Because we do not know the background of many of our cats, we cannot guarantee exact age or breed. Adoption centers may not have a volunteer present to open the cat enclosures, and we have foster homes located throughout the KC metro area. Please fill out an application if you'd like to meet this cat. Interested in this pet? Please fill out a non-binding application. Our goal is to find life-long matches between animals and families, and the application provides us with a lot of information to help us help you find that match!  April 28, 2024, 12:16 am

Story
Look at her beautiful little face! Sophia's family lost their home, so they had to move in with relatives. Unfortunately, the resident senior cat doesn't like Sophia and Sophia now lives alone in the basement. This gorgeous dilute tortie was raised as a bottle baby in a home with kids and she absolutely adores them. The kids she grew up with try to spend time with her in the basement, but it's just not the same. She's sad, lonely, and misses human companionship. Sophia enjoys playing with toys, especially her feather wand, but that toy requires a human to play with her. She would love a home where she could be a lap kitty and watch you work on your computer, maybe even supervise a little. Sophia is a very good supervisor! Sophia has no known health issues and has always been an inside kitty. Please call or text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387 for more info on this sweet girl. Sophia is in the KC metro, but transportation is available to the right home. #thepetconnection

Hi, I'm Fern! 😺 My mother was abandoned while she was pregnant with us, but she found humans that took her in and raised us. I was born March 2023, and am up to date on shots, neutered, and looking for my forever home. If you bend over to feed me, chances are I will jump on your back to perch for a bit. I'm very playful and mischievous, I love to run around and play with toys 🧶 and then curl up beside you for a nap.

Story
Meet Starry, a small black cat with a timid nature, named for the white patch on her chest. She was rescued in November 2023 but hasn't received any veterinary care due to sudden and unforeseen financial difficulties. Starry hasn't been spayed or vaccinated. She's struggling to get along with other cats in the house, and it's causing stress for her and our elder cat. It's clear she's not happy here, so I'm looking for a home where she'll be the only cat and can get the care she deserves. Despite her shyness, she's very sweet and just needs a patient owner who can help her feel safe and loved. The rehoming fee is in place to prevent insincere adopters from acquiring her, as well as to cover the listing fee and transportation to her future home.
