Story
Meet Owen: a little explorer looking for his forever home! If you're looking for a kitten with a big personality and an even bigger heart, I may be the perfect match. I’m a handsome boy who is bold, curious, and endlessly affectionate. I greet life with enthusiasm, whether I’m setting off on a new adventure, chasing a toy, or curling up for a well-earned nap. One of my most charming traits is my loud, happy purr, which starts without the slightest encouragement. I love people and I’m never happier than when I’m snuggled up on someone's chest, soaking up attention and sharing my affection. Despite my young age, my foster mom says I have a thoughtful expression that makes it seem like I’m viewing the world through the eyes of an old sage. When playtime begins, you know I will give it my all. I’m a bundle of energy who would thrive in a home with another young, active feline companion. A cat who can keep up with my playful spirit and help me burn off my kitten enthusiasm. Kitty Connection will schedule me to be neutered in the coming weeks and that means I will soon be ready to find a loving forever home. Here is something you need to know about me: I have been treated for severe constipation. My foster family, Kitty Connection and the doctors at Blue Pearl have done a great job helping me with this. I’m on a medication regiment that has been successfully implemented and whoever adopts me needs to be comfortable monitoring my litterbox use and giving me my medications daily to help keep me regular. Using a wee-wee pad around my litter box helps me to stay neat when I occasionally have minor litter box accidents. My medical needs are only one part of who I am. With my loving nature, adventurous spirit, and endless capacity for cuddles, I will bring joy, laughter, and companionship to my future family. Keep watch for my adoption debut!

Story
Hi! My name is Dreidel, and I’m a handsome 3½-year-old boy with a pretty incredible story. I started my life as a tiny kitten on the streets of Jerusalem, where I was rescued before eventually making the very big journey all the way to Boston. Now, through no fault of my own, I’m looking for the final stop in my adventure: a forever home. For a long time, I lived happily with another cat and we were very bonded. But when a new baby joined our family, the changes in my home were harder for me to adjust to than anyone expected. The stress changed the relationship between us cats, and sadly, we have started fighting. My family has tried everything they can to help us get back to the way things were, but it has become clear that I would be happier in a different environment. They love me very much and want to find the home where I can truly thrive. So, let me tell you a little about the real Dreidel! I’m a big boy at 17½ pounds with a big personality to match. I’m smart, curious, vocal, playful, and very food motivated—which also makes me quite trainable! I love to play and need regular exercise, interactive playtime, and enrichment to keep my clever brain and body busy. I can be a little jumpy at times, so I appreciate a home where life is relatively calm, predictable, and consistent. Once I’m comfortable, I have a wonderfully balanced personality. I’m independent when I want to be, but I also enjoy affection and love to cuddle on my terms. Because I seem to be sensitive to major changes in my environment, my ideal match would be a mature household without babies or plans to add young children in the future, where I can settle in and know what to expect. I have successfully lived with another cat in the past, so another compatible kitty may be possible with a thoughtful introduction and the right match. I haven't lived with dogs, so we don't know how I'd feel about them yet. I’ve already traveled halfway around the world and been very loved along the way. Now I just need a home where I can finally put down my paws and stay. Could you be my happily-ever-after?

Story
URGENT: LUNA NEEDS A HOME BY THE END OF THE MONTH!!!! Hi, I’m Luna, a sweet, sassy 3-year-old girl, and I suddenly need a new home. My dad recently passed away, and because of rising living costs, my mom has to move in with family who already have pets. She loves me dearly, but I really want to be the one and only queen of my castle. I’m an independent girl, but I have a soft side. I’ll greet you at the door, rub against you, play with my toys and laser light, and at bedtime, I love pressing myself against my person. I’m also a chunky little Temptations enthusiast, a wet-food connoisseur, and a seriously talented mouse hunter. I’d be happiest in a quiet home with someone who understands cats and will respect my boundaries. I may be able to live with another cat after a slow introduction, but my dream is to have YOU all to myself. I’ve already lost my dad. Please help me find my next person so I don’t lose my home without having another one waiting.

Story
Milo is a handsome 3-year-old boy coming all the way from Puerto Rico in search of his forever home in Massachusetts! Milo hasn’t had the easiest circumstances and currently spends much of his time confined with limited opportunities to explore and enjoy the comforts of a home. Despite this, he is an incredibly sweet and affectionate boy with so much love to give. ❤️ Milo absolutely loves people and is happiest when he’s getting cuddles, pets, and lots of rubs. He has such a gentle, loving personality, and we can’t wait to see him blossom once he has a home where he can explore, relax, play, and get all the attention he deserves. He is already neutered, vaccinated, and 2DX negative, and he’ll be coming to Boston ready for his fresh start. 🏡 At just 3 years old, Milo has so much life and love ahead of him. We’re looking for a special family who will give this sweet boy the safe, cozy, and loving home he’s been waiting for.

Story
Mr. Meowers is a handsome 1-year-old orange-and-white boy coming from Puerto Rico in search of his forever home in Massachusetts! True to his adorable name, Mr. Meowers is an incredibly sweet and affectionate boy who loves attention and being close to his people. At only a year old, he has so much love — and so many years of cuddles — to give his future family. Mr. Meowers is already neutered, vaccinated, and dewormed and will be ready to start his new life when he arrives in Boston. He is also FIV positive, but that doesn’t stop him from being a happy, loving cat or from living a long, wonderful life. FIV+ cats can thrive with routine veterinary care and an indoor lifestyle.

Story
Meet Judge, a handsome 5-month-old black kitten coming all the way from Puerto Rico in search of his forever home in Massachusetts! 🐾🖤 Judge was rescued through a TNR program in Puerto Rico, where so many cats and kittens are in need of loving homes. This sweet little guy is getting the opportunity to make his way to Boston, where he’ll be fostered while he waits for the perfect family to find him. He is already neutered, vaccinated for rabies and other common feline viruses, and has tested negative on his 2DX screening. He’ll be coming to Boston with his veterinary care taken care of and ready to start his next chapter. At only 5 months old, Judge is still just a baby with his whole life ahead of him. He would love a home where he can continue growing, playing, and getting all the love he deserves. This little house panther is ready to leave island life behind and find his forever family!
