Story
Sally is an 11-year-old cat with a soft spirit and a deep love for cuddles. Though she’s naturally shy, once she trusts you, she becomes the sweetest little shadow, always nearby for snuggles and quiet companionship. Her favorite things include warm laps, soft blankets, and gentle head scratches. Sally has spent her whole life with her beloved brother, and their bond is truly special. They bring each other comfort and confidence, and they’re looking for a forever home where they can stay together. Sadly, Sally hasn’t adjusted well to the three dogs she’s recently had to share space with — it’s been stressful for both her and her brother, and they’re longing for a peaceful home where they can feel safe again.

Story
Tonks is a sweet, docile cat who is very well behaved. She has lived in our home since she was a kitten and is unfortunately not meant to live with babies or other pets. She loves pets, cuddles and looking out of the window. She would do great with families with only one cat/no pets and no babies. She loves using her cat tower and laying in her cat bed. She hasn't been able to adjust to our new baby. It has been too stressful for her and caused her to poop outside of her litter box. She has only ever done this before if the litter box is not clean or she has been sick. Since we can't get rid of our baby and we haven't been able to help her transition this behavior has continued and caused Tonks too much stress. She would make a great addition to a calm home with a loving family.

Story
Helen adores people! She comes trotting right over for pets and love when she hears voices. She's such a sweet baby girl. No one knows where she came from. One day, she just showed up on a nice lady's street, clearly not lacking for food. (Helen is what we call "well nourished.") Despite notices and posts, no one came to collect sweet Helen. When taken in to be spayed, it turned out that Helen already was, but she had no microchip. So now she's vaccinated and ready to be adopted. Helen's a smart kitty, so we're confident that she'll do fine using a litterbox once she's living a luxury life indoors. She wants to be inside with humans soooo much. We know that Helen needs a home with people who will adore her and spoil her. Think that's you? Call or text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387. Helen's in the KC metro, but transport might be available to the right home!

Story
Meet Yari, an affectionate, loving kitty living outside in a colony with other cats. She's so friendly and trusting of humans that she probably didn't grow up outside. When the colony caretaker first saw her, Yari was very hungry and way too skinny. Even so, she didn't mind sharing her food with her colony kitty friend Autumn, who is also available for adoption. Yari has gained at least three pounds in the last three to four months. Needless to say, no one was looking for this sweet girl. Yari deserves a home with someone who will show her what it's like to live the good life indoors, with the love and care she needs. She'd love a soft, warm place to sleep, good food, clean water, and plenty of scratches and pets! Call or text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387 for more info on Yari. She's in the KC metro, but transport might be available to the right home.

Story
Blaze was my roommate's cat, and she left him behind when she moved. She got him from a shelter, so he is neutered and chipped. He is a front paw declaw, so needs to be indoors only. He does love the idea of the outside though, so he is a huge fan of open windows and sniffing the fresh air. If a door is left open he will try to get outside though! He's good with older kids but hasn't been around little ones before. He's super sweet, loves to hang out in the bedroom, or nap behind people on chairs, likes getting scritches, and thinks wet food is an extra special treat. He's honestly one of my favorite cats in the house, and I'd keep him if we didn't have too many pets and a kiddo on the way.
