Story
I brought Sunny home as a kitten almost 5 years ago, he was born to another cat in the family. Sunny is a sweet, content, and curious cat who enjoys napping under warm blankets. He loves stomach rubs and random games of fetch (even though he never brings the ball back). Since Sunny has a little anxiety, we are hoping for a quiet home for him where he can feel safe and relaxed. Born: September 18, 2019

Story
Here’s Herbie, my beautiful, smart 3 year old cat. I adopted him two and a half years ago from a shelter in New Fairfield. He loves to snuggle. He and I have spent lots of time together with him on my chest or on my legs, purring away. He waits for me at the door when I go out. Herbie loves food and I have been able to teach him a couple of tricks using the clicker method and rewarding him with treats. He needs lots of attention. He likes to play; for example, to chase down plastic spring-y toys. But doesn’t like anyone to touch his feet and he hates being in the car. Although most of the time he is a loving, lovable pet, Herbie bites, which is why I’m sadly giving him up.

Story
Lola recently moved to CT from California with her mom and cat-brother Tiger. The relocation to much smaller living quarters led to territorial issues. The two cats ended up not getting along, and Tiger became quite aggressive. Lola sustained and recovered from bite wounds that required vet care. The cats can no longer live together safely and she is being fostered at another location. Lola needs to be the only cat in preferably an adult and somewhat quiet home. She is an indoor only cat. Lola will need some adjustment time and will be pretty shy at first. Once she gets to know you, she loves being pet, brushed, and playing with toys. You will love her sweet purr! She is 10 years old, healthy, very calm, and low maintenance. We will provide her adopter with 1 month supply of food, treats, toys, brush, and litter box.
