Story

I found Stinky on the street as a presumed stray or dumped cat. He was super skinny and immediately took to me. He does really good with my cat Buddy and my roommates dog. He is very sweet. I am unfortunately moving into a studio apartment and can only keep one cat. He loves to cuddle and warms up to new people quite well. He makes the cutest noises and likes to play. I would prefer he goes to an indoor only home. He is estimated to be around two or three years old.

Story

I really just want her to go somewhere she’s loved and someone who has experience with cats. She’s sweet 90% of the time but the other 10% she is a little iffy with wanting to be around anyone ! Shes NOT aggressive at all! She is 3 years old. I got her when she was 4 weeks old. She’s loving and friendly but doesn’t really like to be held .. only for a little min and she’ll want to be let down. Sometimes she’s a little rebellious if she knows where her food is kept but try changing locations randomly.

Story

Basically identical story as Jax but i am not 100% sure her age when i got her but I got her in 2021 as well. Both cats grew up together basically and are very close but would also do well alone! They’re very independent. Penny is quiet and timid at times but super loving. She’s “soft spoken” in a sense, she doesn’t get aggressive or anything like that at all! I can tell she had some sort of trauma before I got her but I’ve taken care of her just my other fur babies !

Herbie

American Shorthair

Male, Adult

New Haven, CT

(when grown) -

Details

Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

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.

Khloe

American Shorthair

Female, Young

Stratford, CT

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Not good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Khloe is a beautiful and independent kitty who knows what she likes! At 5 years old, she’s a confident, indoor-only cat who enjoys exploring her surroundings and playing with toys. While she isn’t the type to seek out constant attention, she loves to cuddle and sit with you—on her own terms, of course! Petting is a delicate balance with her, as she can get overstimulated easily. She prefers a light touch and lets you know when she’s had enough. Khloe does well with people and will thrive in a calm, patient home. If you have other pets, she’ll need plenty of time to adjust, as she’s slow to warm up to furry friends. If you’re looking for a cat who’s both independent and affectionate in her own way, Khloe could be the perfect match for you!

Story

We would like you to meet Gabriella! Gabriella is a beautiful 2 month old kitten looking for her forever home. Gabriella is friendly to everyone and she’s been around other cats and dogs. Gabriella would be fine in a home with kids as long as they are respectful. As always we do not allow kittens to be adopted alone to prevent single kitten syndrome. Therefore there must be another young cat in the home or Gabriella must be adopted with another kitten. To adopt Gabriella, please visit our website and fill out an application. astdogrescue.com ##2059528##
