Story
Whismur was found in the snow of Roeland Park in 2013, emaciated and pregnant. She is a survivor in every sense of the word. Because of her rough start, she has a big heart and a powerful voice - she never wants to be overlooked again. She is is a world-class snuggler who will melt her entire body into yours, climbing up your chest just to be closer to you. Because of her early trauma, she is never quiet about her needs. She will let you know exactly when it's time to eat, snuggle, or play. She needs a home where her chatting is welcomed as part of her big personality. She has a deep obsession with food and needs an owner who can provide unlimited access to food or a consistent feeding schedule/automatic feeder to help her feel secure. She still has the spirit of a kitten and loves to play every day. She is high-energy and plays hard so she would do best in a home with sturdy furniture or someone who doesn't mind a bit of "character" in their decor. Toys, cat tree, etc included.

Story
We have struggled with the decision to rehome our sweet, cuddly boy, Noodle. He is a wonderfully loving cat who LOVES humans and is good around kids. He does very well with other cats, as well. He is about 9 years old, up to date on shots, and healthy. He is an indoor cat and litterbox trained. Unfortunately, he does not tolerate dogs. We have tried for 3 years to help him acclimate to our pooch, but the poor guy just won't have it. He has developed a compulsive grooming habit out of anxiety since the dog joined us. We've tried separating spaces and even anxiety medication, but he continues to be very nervous around and even aggressive toward our dog. Sadly, this has created enough conflict in our home that it is impacting our relationship with him, and we think it is most fair to him to be in an environment more suitable for his personality. The perfect home for him would be a house with or without cats, with humans who enjoy a couch companion!

Cappuccino needs a new forever home due to my living situation. She is cuddly, likes to lay near your feet. She likes to run through tunnels. Her favorite toys are laser lights, balls, wands and playing in boxes. She gets along with kids and other cats. She spends most of her time looking out the window.

Story
Jellybean is about 1 year old and FIV/FLV negative. He was found as a stray several months ago and has been cared for since. He was brought in since the neighborhood cats were bullying him. He adjusted to being in a home right away. He has been a very polite cat - he always uses the litterbox, he hasn't been messy, and is gentle with his paws. If he gets too excited and tries to play rough, a simple "ouch!" gets him to stop. Jellybean enjoys playing, but would much rather lay on your lap and receive lots of attention. He is a total love bug. We don't know if he has been around dogs but he was very interested in meeting and playing with our resident cats. He would probably do very well with other cats with a thoughtful introduction. We'd love to see this sweetheart find the perfect home where he will get plenty of attention and affection.

Story
This stunning boy is Sage. Sage came into a shelter that has since closed when he was just a kitten with four of his siblings. Unfortunately, we don't have great records of their age, but we believe they are five years old now. Sage has started to come out and socialize with people, likely because there aren't as many cats around. He would do best in a home with folks who have experience with cats and who are willing to give him time and space to adjust to his new environment. If you are patient and quiet he will come to you for grooming and some pets. But Sage might never be a cat who runs to you when you get home from work or who clamors to jump into your lap when you sit down, and that's okay. Please call or text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387 for more information on Sage. He's in the Kansas City metro, but transport might be available to the right home.

Story
Sweet Bonded Sisters Looking for Their Forever Home - Ladybug and Meowscles are 1-year-old bonded sisters who have been with our family since they were tiny kittens, after we rescued them when their mama was hit by a car. We fully intended for these girls to be with us for life—but unfortunately, due to severe allergies with my husband and 2-year-old daughter, we’ve been faced with a difficult decision. Ladybug (the one with more white on her face) is the confident, dominant sister with a big personality—she’ll thrive best with an experienced cat owner who understands feline attitudes and boundaries. Meowscles, is a shy little cuddle bug who just wants love once she feels safe. These girls are a small breed and fully grown, making them perfect if you’re looking for petite kitties. They are very bonded and should not be separated, as they truly rely on each other for comfort and confidence. They are kennel trained, little box pellet pro and have never had an accident. Please help us!
