Story
Mama Kitty was a stray that had been living on the streets and wasn't sure what to think of people. She was a little hesitant in the beginning, but then she opened up and started letting her foster mom pet her and pick her up. Now she's thrilled to finally be a spoiled indoor kitty! Mama Kitty gets along great with her cat and dog siblings. She absolutely loves attention and is a top-notch biscuit maker. She likes purring and making biscuits on just about everything and everyone. She loves to cuddle up with her foster mom and sleeps with her at night. Mama Kitty is FIV+ but don't let that scare you because she is still just a normal cat! Most FIV cats live a normal life. FIV can lower her immune system, this just means that taking her to the vet and keeping her healthy is very important. She can even live in a household with other cats that aren't FIV+. FIV is only transmittable through very intense fights and bite wounds. And Mama Kitty gets along great with other cats and would never dream of fighting! If you're looking for a buddy to snuggle up and binge watch Netflix with, Mama Kitty is your girl!

Story
Willow is a lovelytortie girl who is patiently waiting for her forever home! She loves to play with her catnip mice and likes to explore/climb. She can be a diva at times (tortitude, much?) and will meow for treats and whenever she thinks her litterbox should be cleaned. She does well with people of all ages. She can take a while to get used to other cats and would need a slow introduction to other feline friends. She has not been around dogs before. If you're looking for a new kitty friend to bring into your home, Willow would be a great choice!

Story
Wiley is a sweet, playful, and cuddly female kitten. She is white/black, with fluffy medium hair length (with some tiger stripe markings). We think she is around 12-15 weeks. She is healthy to the best of our knowledge, eats/drinks dry cat food/water appropriately, and is litter trained. She has had wet food, but not on a daily basis. She plays well with her sibling and other cats, and has been in a smoke-free household with kids age 10 and older with no issues. She does not have any shots or other vet care (due to our personal financial abilities). We are adopting out her and her sister (separate listing) following the loss of a family member who was their owner. We want to see her go to a loving home where she will be an indoor pet and will be properly cared for and cherished. If you would like to meet her, please contact me. We are located in Eastern Jackson County, near Blue Springs and Grain Valley. Thank you! :-)

Story
Persephone is a very mild mannered cat, she likes to cuddle a lot. She does not do well with other animals, in that they make her stressed and she will hide from them. I have recently had some severe health issues that are preventing me from taking care of her. I’m only 24 so I obviously wasn’t expecting to lose so much functionality and it breaks my heart to give her up but I can’t take care of her.

Story
Hi, I'm Fern! 😺 My mother was abandoned while she was pregnant with us, but she found a home that took her in and raised us. I'm now 6 months old, up to date on shots, neutered, and looking for my forever home. I'm very playful and mischievous, I love to run around and play with toys 🧶 and then curl up beside you for a nap.

Story
Very loving and affectionate companion kitty in need of a new family home. He was a great joy to my elderly parents for the years they had with him, but one just passed away and the other must now enter advanced dementia care. He loves attention and will joyfully greet you at the door. Well house broken with no accidents. He originally came to my parents from KC Pet Project via a foster home about 4 years ago and will make a great addition to your family.

Story
She’s a very sweet and loving girl, we have a new baby and can’t give her the attention she needs. She wants to cuddle all day long with anyone. She will snuggle up to sleep and not move a muscle. She is amazing with kids and babies, no problems using liter pan. She does great with other animals as well, just takes a bit for her to warm up to them. Has no problem with new people though!

Story
Hi! My name is Jeanne, but my foster mama calls me Gigi. In my former life, I was a street cat, but at the age of seven months, I wandered into a humane trap set by folks at The Pet Connection when they were trying to catch a lost kitty. I'm now a big girl and over a year old, so my new goal is to find myself a forever home. I can be shy at first, but once I warm up, get ready to PLAY! I get so excited to see my foster feline siblings. Like, it's the best part of my day! We play chase and jump around together. The cat perch is super useful as a launching point, in case you need a launching point in the future. So. Much. Fun! I'm a little gal and my foster brothers are way bigger than I am, but that doesn't bother me one bit, because I have a TON of personality. Being a lap kitty and being petted are also some of my specialties. Helping my foster mom in the office on the side is such a blast! She says I need more practice at filing, but I'm excellent at making confetti. Guess what? Now I get to be around the dogs in the house! They used to like to watch me play, and I knew we'd do just fine once we got to know each other. But one of them did go and hide after I gave him a teeny tiny hiss, just to see what he'd do. Not so brave, that one. Call or text The Pet Connection for more info on me, Jeanne. 913-671-7387. I'm in the KC metro, but transport is available to the right home. #thepetconnection
