Story
Hey there! I'm Jay, a laid-back 1.5-year-old gentleman looking for my forever home. I'm all about good vibes—I genuinely love hanging out with people and soaking up attention. Whether you're working, relaxing, or just existing, I'm happy to be right by your side. In fact, one of my absolute favorite things to do is come and sleep right next to you while you rest! I'm pretty social and love making friends with my humans. I'm a big fan of being petted and will happily soak up all the affection you have to offer. I'm the type of guy who spreads good energy wherever I go and thrives on companionship. Plus, I'm a tidy roommate with perfect litter box manners! I'm ready to settle into a loving home and become your devoted companion. If you think we might be a purr-fect match, I'd love to meet you soon!

Story
🐾💕 Hi, we're Fawkes & Maple, and before we tell you anything else, there's one thing you should know... We're best friends, and we're looking for our forever home together. 🏡❤️ We both started life as strays and came to Kitty Connection at different times. Eventually, we found a home... and that's where we found each other. When unexpected circumstances brought us back to rescue, we lost our home, but thankfully, we didn't lose one another. 💞 🐱 I'm Fawkes, a 5-year-old gray-and-white gentleman with one eye and a heart full of love. I've overcome a lot, including losing an eye and having dental surgery, but those days are behind me now! These days, my favorite things are snuggles, naps, and making sure Maple feels safe and loved. 💙 🐱 And I'm Maple, a 10-month-old tabico girl with a playful spirit and a gentle soul. I was born outside, so learning to trust people has taken time. I can be a little shy at first, but every day I get a little braver. My favorite things? Wand toys, zoomies, and curling up next to Fawkes after a busy day of play! 🎣✨ 💕 Fawkes is my safe place. When I'm nervous, he's right there beside me. He helps me feel brave enough to take the next step and reminds me that I'm never alone. Together, we're the perfect pair: one part cuddle bugs 🥰, one part playtime experts 🎉, and 100% devoted to each other. 💗 We're looking for a quiet, patient home where we can continue our journey together. Maple may need a little time to settle in, but with love, understanding, and Fawkes by her side, she continues to blossom every day. 🌸 💖 We've already found our best friend in each other. 🏡 Now we're hoping to find our forever family. ✨ Could that be you? ✨

Story
Hi - My name is Ellie and I’m a sweet and shy 3 year old female tabby. This is my second time with Kitty Connection. My original adopters didn’t feel like I was a good fit anymore so I’m back with Kitty Connection and looking for people who are patient and kind. I start off spicy, but I’m just afraid. Once I settle in, I love being around quiet humans and my foster mom’s quiet cats. I was originally in a home with a male kitty who had a lot of energy and that was too much for me. I love to play, but mostly by myself at night – although sometimes I’ll play with a wand toy with my foster mom. Her cats come in to say hello and then they go about their business which is just fine with me. I like to see them interact with my foster mom as it assures me that she’s a safe person. I think I’d like a home with other quiet and mellow kitties who don’t mind if I do my own thing. I wouldn’t like a home with a lot of people or kids who make a lot of noise and dogs are probably not something I would be comfortable with. Check out some of the videos my foster mom has taken. I tend to be afraid the first few minutes she’s with me and then she offers me a treat and I remember I like her. She’s very patient and tells me I’m pretty.

Hi there! We’re Arnie and Munchkin, and we’re looking for our forever home together. I’m Arnie, a 2-year-old laid-back guy who loves naps, pets, and relaxing by your side. Most of the time I’m happy to take it easy, but every now and then I’ll break out my mouse toy or join in on playtime with Munchkin. And I’m Munchkin, a 12-week-old ball of energy! I love to play, explore, zoom around the house, and then curl up for cuddles with my humans when I’m ready for a break. We may have different energy levels, but we make a great team. Arnie is patient and easygoing, and I help keep life exciting. Together, we’re looking for a cozy home where we can each let our personalities shine. One part zoomies, one part snoozies—we’re the perfect pair!

Hi, I'm Precious, and my hooman says I live up to my name! I'm a 1-year-old brown tabby with a gentle heart and lots of love to give. I am FeLV+, but please don't let that discourage you—I'm looking for someone who will see me for the wonderful companion I am. I can be a little shy when we first meet, but once I feel comfortable, I turn into a purring machine! I absolutely love head scratches, chin rubs, and spending quality time with my favorite people. My perfect day includes lounging by a sunny window, watching the world go by, and batting around my favorite toys when the playful mood strikes. I'm the kind of cat who will quietly steal your heart and become a loyal, loving friend. If you're looking for a sweet, affectionate companion who just needs a chance to shine, I would love to meet you. Will you take me home?

Nitro is a handsome boy who was found in a garage with his two siblings & mom. The nice homeowner let them stay until they were old enough to get adopted. Nitro is a lap kitten who enjoys laying next to his foster mom. He gets along with the house cat and is getting used to a doggie, who regularly visits the foster home. His siblings, Techno & Geisha, are also looking for a forever home. This sweetheart loves humans & would do well with another kitty. Just get an application in! Let’s help Nitro find a perfect home.

Story
My name is Quinoa and I’m a sweet tuxedo girl with a funny face who’s ready to find my forever home. Soon after I arrived in foster care, even while still adapting to my new environment, I actively sought out human affection, companionship, and laps. I’m absolutely into chin scritches and I love to play with the humans and the other cats in my foster home. If you adopt me, I’ll make it my business to make sure you feel loved 24/7. I’m a very social girl, so if you’re away for typical work hours, I should have at least one other cat to keep me company. Even if you’ve never had a cat before, I promise I’ll make it easy for you.I’m a spayed female cat, a little over a year old and my shots are up to date.

Story
My name is Froggy and this is my brother Tucker. Wait, maybe I’m Tucker and this is my brother Froggy. The thing is, we look so much alike, sometimes we can’t even tell ourselves apart. We’re both brown tabbies, about two years old, both larger than average, and we need a home with someone who will love us. We eat, play and sleep together. It took a while for us to open up but our personalities are shining through. We greet our foster mom at the door when she comes in and we’ll do the same for you if you adopt us. We’ll curl up with you while you watch TV, and at least one of us will probably be on your lap. Our favorite toys are ribbon and strings- knitters beware. When we are left alone, we play tag with the energy of two small tornadoes. Whoever adopts us will need to be patient with us, but we'll be worth it because we will love you for the rest of our lives. Our adoption fee has even been discounted to facilitate us getting adopted together.We are neutered males and our shots are up to date. We are being fostered in Revere.

Story
Our names are Hamlin and Tango and we are two orange brothers only about 2 1/2 months old.  Everyone who sees us says that we are probably the cutest kittens they've ever seen and we're not going to disagree with that. We are two balls of chaos who love to run around and play with pretty much anything we can get our paws on. Everything we see is a potential toy. Like most kittens, we would do best adopted either with each other or into the home of someone who already has a cat or a cat-friendly dog, but neither of us are cut out to be the sole four-legged creature in anyone's home.We have been neutered, our shots are up to date, and we have tested negative for FIV and FeLV. We're being fostered in Allston. The total adoption fee for the two of us is $595. If you’re interested in adopting us, click the button that says “Ask about me.” It’s right down there.
