Story
Snowflake is a deluxe 1 1/2 year old Silver/Gray Abyssinian/Tabby with prominent stripes, sweetheart face, long legs and a raccoon tail. He was rescued from a colony because he was super friendly and tame. Currently enjoying the good life in his foster home, Snowflake loves people and is a gentle, loving soul. He loves other Cats so needs to be in a home with a buddy to hang out with. To meet Snowflake contact us: catconnection@sbcglobal.net Adoptions by appointment only.

Story
I received Saturn and Venus from a coworker who was unable to house them. In a new home I’m looking for someone who could take his sister Venus as well. I would describe Saturn as shy but very playful and he loves to cuddle and be pet and Venus is not as shy but also loves to be cuddled. Venus is the black kitty and Saturn grey. I am unsure of the breed as they were stray cats.

Story
meet our spunky and sweet baby flinti! after 2 months of socialization, this sweetheart girl is the most soft-spoken and playful baby. she enjoys snack time, laying by her foster-mama, (was shy with pets at first, but loves it now!! along with nose boops, eating churrus from the hand, and basking in the sun) she makes toys out of everything, and will chase funny reflections of lights on the walls, loves her scratcher, & window watching. She is to be adopted into a household that understands cats, and is willing to shower her with love and be patient and understanding. She is so deserving of a loving and gentle furrever that will allow her to break out of her shell at her own pace. She would do best with somebody willing to put in the work to create a loving relationship with her :) She would do great in a household that already has a kitty in it!

Story
This sweet baby boy, Mango Lassi, is part of the bread babies litter we saved, (a total of 6 kittens, and their amazing and loving mama Maddie). He is spunky, fun and loving. A playful ball of energy, super social and attention seeking, that loves to bounce of the walls. He loves pets, cuddling, play time, and snacks. Needs to be adopted into a home that already has other kitties to give him company, would also do great with dogs (proper intros must take place first.)

Story
This sweet baby boy, Pumpi, is part of the bread babies litter we saved, (a total of 6 kittens, and their amazing and loving mama Maddie). He is spunky, fun and loving. He's a little more relaxed than his siblings, and more solo and independent compared to the others. Regardless, he loves attention, pets, and getting love. Needs to be adopted into a home that already has other kitties to give him company, would also do great with dogs (proper intros must take place first.)
