American Shorthair

Female, Adult
New Britain, CT
Size
(when grown) -
Details
Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Moose (grey tabby) and Ruby Rose (tortoiseshell) are a bonded pair. They are 3.5 years old and are generally pretty shy and chill cats. They require a patient home that will allow them time and space to come out of their shell. Once they do, Moose is all about the snuggles! Ruby is more hesitant, but does love to be brushed. They would do best in a home without small children, and preferably without dogs. Other cats are okay. They have no history of aggressive behavior or major health concerns, they are both fixed, and are up to date on their vaccines and grooming. Adoption fee: $100 (this money will go only towards food, supplies, etc. for the cats to ensure a smooth transition between homes). They will come with all supplies required, including: 1-2 months of food, litter and litter boxes, toys, grooming supplies, etc.

Story
Meet Hopscotch — the Playground Pro! Born on April 23, 2025, this bouncy orange tabby boy got his name honestly. At 6 months old, he was spotted right on a school playground, happily trotting from kid to kid like he was joining recess. Hopscotch wasn’t shy—he was introducing himself to everyone, hoping one of those friendly faces would be his forever family. Luckily, a sweet young teacher noticed this brave little explorer and scooped him up before the cold weather could chase him away. Since then, Hopscotch has been soaking up all the love he can get. He’s decided dogs are pretty okay, and he absolutely loves running and pouncing with the family cats—like his own furry game of tag. And just like any good playground buddy, he knows when it’s time to switch from play to cuddle. After supper, Hopscotch loves being held like a baby, giving soft, sweet-eye looks and powering up his biggest purrs. But don’t let his gentle side fool you—this boy has a spot-on sense of time. If mealtime is even a minute late, Hopscotch will kindly “ding-dong” you with his best reminders. With his bright orange coat and sunshiney personality, he’s ready to jump into his next adventure. This gorgeous tabby can’t wait to meetp his forever family—and he’s already saving a spot for you in his next game of hopscotch. 💛🐾

Meet O Brother Where Art Thou! This 6-month-old orange tabby boy might start off a little shy, but once he’s comfortable, his playful spirit takes over.

He’s the perfect mix of sweet and silly: a soft-hearted boy who needs a little time to trust, but once he does, he’ll keep you laughing with his antics. Whether it’s batting toys, wrestling with other cats, or finding creative ways to entertain himself, O Brother is always up for a good time. If you’re looking for a playful partner in crime with a tender side, O Brother Where Art Thou might just be your match.

Story
🐾 **Meet Mother Goose: A Tale of Whiskers and Wonder** Once upon a time, on a warm Texas morn, A dear little cat was weary and worn. She wandered the streets, round San Antonio town, With a belly quite round and her spirits down. But lo! Kind hearts at Charming Pet came near, Gave her shelter and love, wiped away every tear. 'Twas there she gave birth to her sweet kitten crew, And raised them with grace as good mothers do. Now her tale takes a turn, a new chapter awaits— No more bustling nursery, no baby debates. At just 2 or 3, she’s full of delight, With a sunny-day nap and cuddles at night. She’s gentle, she’s kind, a heart full of cheer, And not at all picky when it’s dinnertime, dear. Playful and warm, with a charm so divine, She’ll curl at your feet and make your life shine. So if you’ve a home where a queen might repose, Mother Goose will gift you love that overflows. Her nest is now empty, her job is complete— She’s looking for you, to make her life sweet. 📜 Adopt Mother Goose, and let your story begin.

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Mint was trapped outside with his siblings and made some socialization progress in foster care. Mint is taking his own pace in making friends with us but with the help of his kitty friends he has started to become more comfortable and curious! With continued socialization, we know Mint could blossom into a spoiled pet. We best believe Mint would do best in a home with no children and would have to have a feline companion(s) to show him the ropes. Mint is a young adult, neutered, UTD on vaccinations, FIV/FELV NEGATIVE and microchipped. If you are interested in Mint, please fill out a feline adoption application at https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=meridenhumanesociety&method=online_form_html&formid=28
