Tabby kittens & cats in Derby, Connecticut

She is the best cat I love her so much but she can’t come with me I tried to bring her but the new place can’t have pets….

Meet Susie, an eight-month-old white & tabby DSH with a story that spans miles and a heart that’s just waiting to bloom. This island girl made her way to us all the way to Connecticut from beautiful Barbados, and while her journey has been a big one, she’s ready to finally settle into a furever home of her own. Susie can be a little shy at first and appreciates a gentle, patient approach as she gets to know you. New environments can feel overwhelming, but give her a little time and space, and you’ll see her sweet personality start to shine. Once she trusts you, she transforms into a total love — soaking up affection, leaning into pets, and quietly adoring her people. She plays well with other cats and truly thrives with feline companionship, so she must be adopted into a home with another kitty friend. A confident cat buddy will help her continue building confidence and feeling secure. If you believe that the best bonds are the ones built with patience and love, Susie just might be your purrfect match. Her adoption fee is WAIVED thanks to a generous donor and Susie is vaccinated, FIV/FELV negative, microchipped, and spayed.

Meet Jellybean, an 8-month-old calico/tabby mix with the most stunning, one-of-a-kind coat and piercing golden eyes that will stop you in your tracks. This local stray turned sweetheart has quickly shown that she’s ready to leave her past behind and soak up all the love of a furever home. True to her name, Jellybean is a total jumping bean—wherever you go, she’s right there with you! Kitchen? She’s your sous chef. Couch? Your cuddle buddy. Bathroom? Your loyal supervisor. Bed? Don’t worry, she’s already claimed her spot and will happily sleep beside you every night. She thrives on companionship and will be your constant little shadow, never missing a moment to be by your side. Jellybean absolutely lives for attention and playtime. She’s affectionate, curious, and always ready for fun—but she does have a little sass to keep things interesting! While she adores people, she can be a bit spicy at times, and her “murder mitts” may make a surprise appearance now and then. It just adds to her big personality and charm! She’s currently living in a foster home with other cats but doesn't seem to be a big fan so she'd be happiest as your one and only—as long as she gets plenty of love, attention, and interaction. If you’re looking for a playful, devoted, and entertaining companion, Jellybean is your girl! Her adoption fee is $275 and Jellybean is vaccinated, FIV/FELV negative, microchipped, and spayed.

Meet Inferno, a one-year-old tabby with a gorgeous striped coat and the most stunning green eyes. She is also the last remaining member of our Fire Litter still waiting for her furever home. Just days before Christmas, Inferno and seven other cats survived a devastating house fire in Ansonia. After the home was deemed unsafe, they were left behind to fend for themselves in a crumbling house surrounded by ash and rubble until help finally arrived. Despite everything she went through, Inferno has shown incredible resilience. Inferno has a quiet sweetness that makes her truly special. She is still learning that the world can be a safe and loving place, so she’ll need a patient home willing to give her the time and understanding she deserves. Once she feels comfortable, her gentle personality shines—she especially loves soft pets and calm affection. She can also be quite vocal and isn’t afraid to chat with you when she wants attention or to let you know what’s on her mind. This little queen also has a funny, adorable habit: she loves drinking straight from the faucet like the pampered royalty she is! When she’s feeling playful, she enjoys spending time with the kittens in her foster home, so she would love to find a family with another young kitty friend. She is currently at the Purrfect Lounge in Plainville, a cat lounge where guests can visit and play with the cats. All meet & greets for Inferno will take place there, giving you a chance to see her sweet personality in action! Book your visit at https://www.purrfect-lounge.com. Her adoption fee is $250 ($200 goes to the rescue, $50 to the lounge) and Inferno is vaccinated, FIV/FELV negative, microchipped, and spayed.

Meet Salty, a three-month-old tabby who made his way to Connecticut all the way from Barbados, bringing a little bit of island charm with him! His name is inspired by the salty ocean air he came from—and it suits him perfectly. While he may be a bit shy at first, Salty has truly blossomed into such a sweet and loving kitten. Once he feels comfortable, he’ll happily curl up in bed with you, making himself right at home as your snuggly little companion. Salty is also full of playful kitten energy! He enjoys batting around toys, climbing his cat tower, and spending time gazing out the window, taking in the world around him. He gets along wonderfully with other cats and truly thrives with feline companionship. Because of this, Salty must go to a home with another kitty friend—or, even better, be adopted with his foster buddy Ringo so they can continue their adorable friendship. He’ll make a purrfect addition to any home! His adoption fee is $275 and Salty is vaccinated, FIV/FELV negative, microchipped, and neutered.

What's that rumble? Oh, it's Bumble! This playful boy loves to chase his ball around and be a wild cat. A rough and rowdy player, Bumble would do well with the company of another young and playful cat (for him to stalk and surprise!) or oppositely, an old, relaxed cat who won't mind his antics. Two years old and full of beans, he can't be picked up, needs his own space and will tell you, "No thank you" but far less politely. However, if you want to drag a string or feather around or throw his ball than he'll happily spend all day with you. Bumble is neutered and current on all shots, ready for his new home. If you've got room in your heart for an energetic wild-man who plays by his own rules and requires you follow them too, then take a chance on Bumble and make your appointment to meet him today. He is not the biggest fan of other cats, and does not like dogs, but he loves the attention he gets from people. Bumble is a 2-year-old neutered male For more information on Bumble, call AWS at 860-354-1350 email animalwelfare.socty@snet.net or visit our website aws-shelter.org for an application Adoption Fees for Senior cats (8yrs and up) is $50 Adult Cats $200 and Kittens under a year $250.
