Story
Liam is an equally energetic and lazy cat who likes to be near you on his own terms. He would do best in a house with no young children or with a family that is observant and respectful of his queues for wanting to be left alone. He also would do best being adopted with his sister Lacie or as an only cat. He doesn’t mind dogs as long as he has a place he can call his own. Liam loves to play - with cat dancers and tunnels and hide and seek. He dobest with at least 20-30min a day of play time with his human. This can include supervised walks on or off a leash, chasing a laser or string. He loves to sit in windows and watch birds and take naps in the sun. Liam does have some seasonal allergies that are managed with the occasional allergy pill. He also must be on urinary support food as he has a history of a blocked urethra without issue since 2015. I’m traveling often for long periods of time and Liam deserves someone who can give him The love and attention as his human

Story
Lacie is a quintessential lap cat. She’s docile, talkative, affectionate, and bossy. She’s also an excellent alarm clock and “mother cat” as she takes care of her humans and her adoptive brother cat Liam (orange cat in pics also up for adoption). She would be best adopted with Liam or if not possible than with someone who can spend time snuggling and giving her loads of attention. I’m traveling more and more for long periods of time and after a decade together feel that this schedule is no longer fair to Liam and Lacie and they deserve to spend time with their human(s) being present. Lacie is great with kids of all ages though enjoys a quiet environment where she can rule as the queen bee. Her default is “freeze and flop” if met with conflict or is scared. She (and Liam) have their own passports and do well in the car and plane as long as you are there for her to talk to. She loves to play - and watch Liam play- and doesn’t like to feel left out so will follow you around.

Misty is a love. She is an old girl, found in a gazebo and was given to me 13 years ago by a family friend. She loves to sit outside on her leash, eat grass and leaves and is a great snuggle. Great with adults and kids alike. Though she is an old girl you’d think she was still in her prime. Let us know if you’d like to meet her! Would love to rehome her with her brother!

Storm is such a sweet boy. Loves pets and loves being loved. Though he is truly a gentle giant he is a big scaredy cat too. This boy loves head rubs and snuggling up right on your chest. He’s a huge napper and a great boy! Would love for him to be adopted with his sister!

Story
Hi, we are Fennel and Figgy! Fennel is a girl, the first one to climb on our foster mom’s lap whenever I’m not busy playing. Figgy is a boy, a little shy at first but will quickly show you that I’m just as cuddly as Fennel is! We are 12-week old siblings, looking to be adopted together. My mom was taken off the streets and within the week we were born. The family was nice to raise us and now we are with Kitty Connection waiting for adoption. We are friendly, sweet, gentle and playful kittens. We love all kinds of toys and happily play together chasing pom pom balls and toy mice. We can’t wait to find our forever home!

Story
Every introvert needs an extroverted friend. I found mine in Avatar. My names Quinn, I was living outside, struggling to raise my two baby boys, when a nice person picked us up and brought us to a foster home where we didn’t have to struggle to find food or stay safe. I had never met nice humans before so I didn’t trust them at first. My babies grew up, got adopted, and I was alone. That’s when Avatar moved into my foster home. He’s SO outgoing and loves humans and we became best friends almost immediately. I’m still not so sure about humans so I’m happy for Avatar to get all the pets and cuddles from my foster mom while I watch from a distance. I do let her pet me sometimes though but I’m really just happy having a cozy bed and nice food (and of course Avatar, we play together a lot when our foster mom isn’t around!) Avatar and I would love to have a family of our own, where Avatar can get lots of cuddles and I can have time and space to keep learning that humans are good.
