Story
I adopted the cat on Jan 20, 2024 from Lowell Humaw Society. Her listed date of birth is on Nov 29, 2012. She got her vaccinations (feline & nobivac 3-rabies) in 12/2023. Her name is Bonnie, a sweet and tender cat with a heart full of warmth just waiting to blossom in a loving home. Initially a bit reserved, Bonnie thrives on patience and gentle approaches.

Not good with kids, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
She came from a broken, abusive home where a child broke her tail. She arrived at my house as a baby, skittish and scared. Now she's almost 15 years old. She's not a lap cat, and she used to be aggressive, but then I got her fixed, and now she's a whole different cat. She's loving, but it takes her a while to warm up. She's not good with kids, and normally will run and hide if anyone new comes into the house. She is very loving and looks for attention when she gets to know you, which doesn't take very long. She has some sort of PTSD! Other than that, I wouldn't say it's a good idea to pick her up, but she looks for love and will come to get pets from you. She definitely favors women over men. I have two teenage boys, and she loves them, so maybe not all men. But if any man walks into my house, she'll run and hide and won't come near them for a while. She has hyperthyroidism and I can’t afford it anymore!

Story
My name is Minnie Meower. I am a pretty 2 year old lady. I was living under someone’s shed. Fortunately, she noticed me before the snowstorm hit and she took me inside. I didn’t belong to anyone and she couldn’t keep me so she reached out for help and Kitty Connection took me in to find my forever home. I’ve been a little stressed since bouncing around from my rescuer to vets and in a foster home. I am a friendly girl who enjoys sleeping in bed with you and snuggling on the couch. I’ve been a little temperamental since the moving around and vet appointment since I had a little extra surgery because of an umbilical hernia. I would do fine in a home as an only cat as it doesn’t seem like I want to be bothered with other cats. I do like exploring and playing. I’m just happy to be safe inside and hoping a family will take good care of me and love me forever.

Story
My name is Scooter and I am a very friendly and well adjusted one year-old male. I settle into my new environment pretty quickly and I love exploring and being around people. I’m a typical cat who enjoys playing and getting into mischief. I don’t seem to be bothered by other cats so I probably would do best having a friend or adopting me with another cat that I get along with
