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
Pete’s story started with heartbreak, but it can end with love—yours. What a looker! Pete is a dashing 2-year-old tuxedo with a perfect little black beauty mark on his chin—like the Marilyn Monroe of the cat world. Pete and his sister were adopted as kittens, but heartbreak came when their family moved away and left them behind. Neighbors did their best to feed the pair, but after his sister tragically passed, Pete was brought inside and finally given the safety and love he deserved. Pete is about 10 pounds, neutered, and truly one of the sweetest cats you’ll meet. He’s very loving, non-aggressive, and playful—sometimes a little needy, but that just makes sense after his time trying to survive outside on his own. Because of his rough start, Pete is FIV+. But don’t let that scare you—FIV+ cats live long, normal lives and can safely live with other cats. Pete’s foster mom has years of experience with an FIV+ cat and is happy to guide adopters if Pete joins a multi-cat home. If you’re ready for a handsome, affectionate, playful tuxedo boy who just wants love and safety, Pete is waiting. > Kansas City metro (transport available) > Call or text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387 to meet Pete! #AdoptDontShop #AdoptPete #TuxedoCat #RescueCat #AdoptableCats #FureverHome #PetConnectionKC #CatsofInstagram #AdoptAPet #PetfinderCats #RescueLove #FIVCatStrong

Story
Meet GrayLee, a softhearted, solid gray gentleman who’s ready for his happy ending. When he was just a hungry kitten, GrayLee was found wandering near a busy intersection—alone, unaltered, and clearly looking for someone to love him. His finder searched high and low for an owner, but no one ever came forward. So, GrayLee grew up safe indoors, but always with that quiet wish for a home and human all his own. Now about eight years old, this handsome boy has grown into a sweet, shy soul who just wants gentle affection and a cozy spot near his favorite person. If you give him some space and time, he'll grow to trust you. When that happens, he'll melt into your touch and show you the loving heart he’s been saving all these years. His caretaker is now a senior citizen who is no longer able to care for GrayLee and urgently needs to find a new home for him, as much as it breaks her heart. GrayLee gets along fine with other cats—he’s polite and peace-loving—but he’d prefer a home that’s not too crowded so he can finally get the attention he’s been waiting for. He lives with a small, senior dog who doesn't pay GrayLee too much attention, which suits GrayLee just fine. Give this silver sweetheart the calm, caring home he deserves. >Kansas City metro (transport available) >Call or text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387 #catadoption #adoptablecat #adoptabledcats #graycat #adoptasheltercat #catrescue #thepetconnection #thepetconnectionks #melodyhuff

Story
Hazel is a beautiful polydactyl girl who’s both affectionate and independent. At about 18 weeks old, she’s full of energy and loves being petted, but she’d much rather play than be held when there’s fun to be had. Hazel enjoys spending time with her people and giving sweet nose kisses. She loves her toys and especially loves playing with her brother Wally. This feisty girl gets along great with other cats and doesn’t mind a little roughhousing with her brothers. Hazel will thrive in either an active or quiet household but will need a playmate or plenty of dedicated playtime to keep her happy and engaged. Interested in meeting Hazel? Call or text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387. She's in the KC metro, but transport might be available to the right home.
