Cherry and Butter

New Haven, CT

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained,

Story

Cherry is the one with the dark right eye, Butter is the one with the light brown right eye. Cherry and Butter were born May 20, 2025. They are bffs and love to play together. I cannot fathom separating them so they have to go together. I care about them deeply but my schedule leaves me no time to actually be a pet parent and they deserve much better. They are friendly but Cherry can be very shy. Butter is more social. Since they grew up with their siblings, they’ll probably do well in a home with other cats. From my experience they behave well around kids. They are not vaccinated or spayed because I’ve had no time to get to it. I’d be happy to pay for half of those costs with proof of the vet bill. Id also be happy to help with any food/litter costs for the first 3 months.

Story

Meet Tulip – A Quiet Beauty Ready to Bloom 🌷 Tulip is a stunning, independent girl who is learning the comforts of indoor life one day at a time. Though people can still be a little scary, she’s beginning to enjoy gentle affection and will even seek out a scratch or two when she’s feeling safe. She has a calm, observant nature and prefers to take her time getting to know new surroundings. Tulip coexists peacefully with dogs and isn’t afraid to set polite boundaries when needed. She would thrive in a patient, low-key home where she can adjust at her own pace and continue to grow in confidence. Tulip is being fostered in Madison, AL and will be spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped prior to adoption. If you're looking for a quiet, low-maintenance companion and have a heart for giving a shy cat the time she needs to trust, Tulip may be your perfect match. 💻 Apply to adopt on our website 📧 Questions?

MULLIGAN IS IN HIS FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS, TN, AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO CT ONCE ADOPTED! Mulligan is a sleek black beauty with a small white patch on his chest and a heart full of love.

Dinner time is his favorite event of the day, and when he’s not eating, he’s busy exploring, playing, and soaking up attention. Mulligan would thrive in a home with another cat for companionship and playtime. He’s truly precious and promises years of laughter, love, and joy for his lucky family. He is fully vetted. Vetting includes spay/neuter, microchip, rabies and all cat vaccinations. His adoption fee of $300 includes the transport to CT.
