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.

Story
My name is Crispy, and I’m a 1 year old DSH male kitty. I was found outside fending for myself but I much prefer indoor cat life with my people, lounging around them, and playing with toys. I am an energetic guy and want a lot of playtime and attention so I’d really love to have a female friend who wants to play. My favorite toy is a metal kitty fishing rod. I wasn’t taught great manners earlier in life so I’m still trying to figure out how to kindly tell my foster mom to hurry up with dinner and so I probably would do best in a house with only people over age 10. Also while I was unfortunately outdoors I contracted FIV. I’m otherwise healthy and can live a long and happy life. I’ll be there waiting at the door for you when you come home!

Story
My name is Ruby. I came to Kitty Connection from outside where I had my baby. Kitty Connection found a great family to love her and now it’s my turn. I’m looking for a very special person. You see I’m quite shy. I don’t feel comfortable being touched and will retreat if you try. When you are with me I might just stay on the other side of the room or run away from you but as soon as another cat comes into the room I get brave and I feel more relaxed. I will come out to see what’s up and become more playful. My foster mom is very gentle with me and enjoys the small steps we make together like petting me with a soft toy. She says even though I’m independent i’m also very sweet and she loves having me with her. She says the way I look at her tells her I’m trying to figure this new world out and makes her so happy to be a part of it. ***Update*** I’m out and about in the house now and I’ve been exploring, eating with the other cats, and enjoying the treats my foster mom gives us. I will go up to her for treats but retreat right after.I can’t tell you how long it will take for me to trust, might not ever be a lap cat but if you can enjoy my independence, have the love and patience to let me settle in slowly and have a friendly cat to show me the way then I’d love to meet you.

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!
