Story
Bella is a 4 month old female kitten (estimated birthday is 3/22/24) who is looking for an adoptive home, ideally with another cat who can show her the ropes. Bella is very shy but loves food and treats which is how her foster mom gets her to come to her for attention. Because of how shy Bella is around people, she is a candidate for a barn cat or working cat of some type. If she is adopted as an indoor-only domesticated cat, her adopter needs to be understanding of what it means to care for a shy cat. Bella is being fostered with her sister Inky, and brother Bob, and can be adopted with either of them or on her own. The adoption fee for this kitten is $175, which helps with the cost of routine vet care. A $125 spay/neuter deposit is required at time of adoption. This fee covers spay/neuter at one of PetConnect's preferred veterinary partners. If the adopter chooses to use their own veterinarian, the deposit will be returned with proof of sterilization. For more information, please email kbuckner@petconnectrescue.org Cats adopted through PetConnect Rescue must be indoor only, and may not be declawed (unless already declawed at the time of rescue). **If you're viewing this on Petfinder, please visit www.petconnectrescue.org to complete our non-binding application.**

Story
Lily and Luna are a bonded pair and are about 11 months or 1 yrs old. We dont know the exact DOB. They are both sweet cats with Lily being the most gentle. Lily is white and Luna grey. Luna requires more love and affection and takes longer to trust people. They both love tummy rubs and enjoy playing with each other and us. They are both good with children.

This sweet boy Gucci needs a lot of love and affection. He was my grandmothers cat who recently moved passed. He thrives best in an environment where his owner spends a lot of time at home, no other cats or dogs. He was adopted from Petsmart as a kitten and is currently 14 years old. If you believe this sweet boy would be a good fit for you, please reach out. Thank you!

Story
QT is just 1 year, born to a feral mother. He was fed 2x a day by a kind feeder, who told me about him. She said he was a sweetheart and he is. She could pet him and talk to him while he ate. I trapped him and had him neutered, shots, bloodwork and chipped. I brought him home, he acclimated beautifully. QT is one of a bonded pair, he and Pumpkin, who is listed on this site. If Pumpkin thinks it’s ok, so does QT. He watches Pumpkin for cues. QT loves pets and neck scratches. I have held him, that part is a work in progess, not awful, but not great. I’m sure he will be a full-on love bug as his relationship grows with his new owner. He is a chill guy. He plays with Pumpkin, loves looking out the window, napping in his cozy bed, getting pets and loves the push up treats. QT and Pumpkin are best friends. They would be very depressed without each other. My dogs are about the same size as the cats, and it’s all good. The cats must be indoor pets. Neither want to go outside again.

Story
Meet Hazel! She’s a bit of a shy gal–she spent her first couple of weeks with us peering out from her safe space under the couch. Now that she feels more secure, she is very affectionate, playful, and chatty. She’s 11 years old, so she’s an older lady, but she is spry and peppy! While she loves to watch the wildlife through the window (and adores sniffing the world through the window screen), she is an indoor-only cat. Hazel’s previous owner was an elderly woman living in assisted living who, unfortunately, developed Alzheimer’s and could no longer take care of her. Hazel was well loved, though, and is spayed and up to date on all her shots. Please reach out should you have any questions about Hazel or if you would like to add her to your family!

Story
Looking for a loving home for Suki, she is half British shorthair and half tabby cat. She is around 1.5 years old, a friend surrendered her to me however I can only afford to keep her brother and they are both not spayed or neutered. She likes her own space and will come to you for pets. Suki is anxious around those who do not respect her space and will avoid them.
