Story
Hi, I'm Lady Luna! I'm 3 years old and now that I've finished raising my beautiful kittens, it's finally my turn to find a forever family of my own. I'm a very sweet girl, but I can be a little cautious when we first meet. I might give you a hiss to let you know I'm scared, but don't let that fool you - I'm secretly hoping you'll be patient with me. I like to take the lead when it comes to making new friends, and once I decide you're safe, I'll be right by your side asking for pets, cuddles, and all the love you can give. I came from a home where I was very loved, but one of the children developed allergies, so my family made the difficult decision to help me find a new beginning. I'm looking for a home where I can get lots of attention and be someone's special girl. I should do well with respectful kids and would probably be happy sharing my home with another friendly cat. If you're willing to give me a little time to settle in, I promise I'll reward your patience with endless affection. I can't wait to meet you!

Story
Meet Helen — Helen of Troy! At just one year old, Helen has already proven that she has the heart of a warrior… and the soul of a mama. Helen was rescued from a cat hoarding situation along with three tiny, one-week-old kittens. Rumor has it, those kittens weren’t even hers! But this young lady saw three babies who needed a mama and decided, “Well, I guess I’m a mom now.” And what a mama she was. Helen groomed them, taught them how to wrestle, patiently tolerated them pouncing on her while she slept, and even let them nibble on her feet. Most incredibly, she began lactating so she could nurse them. She stepped up when they needed her most and gave those babies everything she had. But her kittens have officially left the coop, and now it’s Helen’s turn to find the forever home she deserves. Helen is: -One year old -Friendly with other cats — she is not aggressive and would love to have a friendly feline companion -An absolute play machine — this girl zooms after toys like a shadow at the speed of light! -Particularly obsessed with fuzzy worm toys, which she proudly carries around and even uses to decorate her food bowl. -A big fan of pets and being wherever her people are -Still learning that being held is okay — she isn’t quite there yet, but she’s making progress! Helen may not be a lap cat just yet, but she has so much love to give. She wants to be near her people, play with her toys, and be part of the action. After everything she’s done for her babies, this sweet girl deserves someone who will be patient with her and show her what it feels like to be spoiled. She gave three babies their happy ending. Now it’s Helen’s turn. Give this little mama a chance at her forever home. She’s ready for her happily ever after. Helen of Troy is waiting for you!

Simon is a handsome 3 year old boy who was found as a stray. He can be a little shy at first, but once he feels comfortable, his sweet and affectionate personality comes right out! Simon loves pets and head scratches! He’ll happily sit with you while you pet him, rub up against you, and get as close as possible. He definitely loves his attention and if he thinks you’re not giving him enough, he may even meow to let you know! Simon is FIV+, but that doesn’t stop him from living a happy, normal life! FIV+ cats can also live with other cats! Simon is looking for a patient, loving home where he can feel safe and soak up all the love he deserves.

Story
Hi, I'm Speedy, and yes, I'm as wonderful as my photos make me look. I'm 9-ish years old, although my exact age is a bit of a mystery. I came with my name when I was adopted as an adult back in 2017, and nobody ever saw a reason to change it. I guess I've always just been Speedy. Let me tell you a little about myself. I am very kind! I don't scratch, I don't bite, I'm not mean and I have not one bad bone in my body. I love people. I love kids. I love attention. Actually... I really, really love attention. I'm the kind of cat who wants to be where the people are. I give kisses. Ill groom you. Ill sleep at the foot of your bed. And once I decide you are my person, I'm pretty much all in. I'm also very tolerant of other animals. I can live with dogs—even puppies! I may not want to play with them, but once I'm comfortable, I'm perfectly happy sleeping next to them and cuddling. If a dog gets a little too close to my personal space, I might give a little warning pat. But I'm not vicious, and I'm not looking to hurt anybody. Other cats? No problem. Once I get to know them, I might even groom them. And apparently, I'm pretty smart, too. I can solve treat puzzles, and I kinda know how to give paw. I've even figured out how to break into a bread box and move free weights around so I could slide open doors. What can I say? I'm an excellent problem solver. I'm still active and playful like a much younger cat, but I'm also perfectly happy snuggling up with you. I'm even a gentleman at bath time and nail-trimming time. Yes, really. You can bathe me and trim my nails. I told you I was special. There is one thing I really, really need in my next home: lots of love and attention. My family loves me very much, but they've realized they just aren't able to give me as much attention and interaction as I need. And as much as it hurts, they want me to have the life I deserve. So I'm hoping for a home where someone wants a cat who is truly part of the family. Maybe that's a lively home with kids. Maybe its someone who wants a companion to share adventures with. Maybe its a family with other pets. Or maybe its simply someone who wants a sweet, affectionate cat who will follow them around, give them kisses, and curl up at the end of their bed. That's me. I'm Speedy and I have a lot of love to give. One important thing about me: I eat a urinary-health formulated food (Science Diet Urinary Care, an over-the-counter formula). I had urinary crystals once a long time ago, and they resolved after my food was changed. I've had no problems since, but my family has wisely kept me on urinary-health food ever since. So... what do you say? Could you be the person who gives me the love, attention, and happily-ever-after I've been waiting for? I'm ready to meet you!

Story
I am a sweet 12–13-year-old senior boy who was sadly thrown out onto the streets. With very poor eyesight, I found my way into an apartment building when a hallway door opened. Thankfully, a kind resident reached out for help, and I was rescued and brought to safety with Kitty Connection. As soon as I arrived at my foster home I started showing everyone what a sweetheart I am! I’m full of purrs, give gentle headbutts asking for pets, and have been bravely exploring my new surroundings. Despite only being able to see shadows, I get around incredibly well and am not letting my poor eyesight stop me! After everything I’ve been through, I deserve comfort, safety, and eventually a forever home where I can spend my golden years surrounded by love.

Story
Aiki was born on August 5, 2022, in Texas. She's a sweet, well-behaved girl who never says no to a Churo treat. While she can get a bit stressed sometimes, she finds comfort in nature - she loves sitting outside, listening to birds chirping, and watching squirrels. She's an independent kitty who enjoys her alone time, so she's not the biggest fan of cuddles, but she'll happily spend hours birdwatching from the window. And she lately she can't use the bathroom and have condition of not using the cat litter while we cannot afford vet anymore and due to personal reasons.
