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 Gracie! 8 weeks • Female • Chaos Goblin Extraordinaire 😼✨ Gracie is *not* your average kitten, she is a full-throttle, WWE-style wrestler trapped in a tiny, fluffy body. She plays hard, zooms harder, and is always looking for her next opponent… we mean *friend*. Gracie will absolutely need another young, energetic cat in the home to match her ball-to-the-wall style of play. She’s not much of a cuddler yet, pick her up and she’ll politely (…or not so politely) growl to let you know she has things to do and worlds to conquer. She may look like a sweet baby angel, but let’s be honest… she is a special brand of adorable evil. The good news? She doesn’t seek out humans to attack. Progress! She’s currently rocking life in a foster home with kids, cats, and dogs and doing great! If the idea of adding a tiny, chaotic queen to your home makes you smile rather than scream… Adopt Gracie! 👑🔥😈

Story
Milo is one of the sweetest, nicest boys you'll ever meet. He's an older gentleman, approximately 15 years old, and missing most of his teeth. His elderly caretaker recently fell and broke her hip, and then fell again and broke her wrist. She can no longer care for the cats in her charge and is desperately in need of wonderful homes for them. Milo gets along great with other cats and has lived with a senior medium-sized dog. He's ready to soak up all of the love and pets you'll dish out! Milo doesn't need a bunch of fancy things in his new home, just a cozy bed, good food, the love of his humans, and plenty of cuddles. Call or text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387 for more info or to set up a time to meet this very good boy. He's in the Kansas City metro, but transport is available to the right home.
