Flare loves her cat friends! People..not so much. She would do great in an adult only home with other cats. She prefers not to be handled but she is young so that could change in time with the right setting. She is very playful and fun to watch.

Story
Wilson is an adorable tabby and the only boy in a litter of four kittens and is definitely the “big brother” of the group. He came to our rescue as a young kitten who apparently had little exposure to humans but quickly grew to love affection and attention. Now, he turns on the purr machine as soon as he sees a human. He is playful and adventurous and is eager to provide a lifetime of entertainment. He would make a fantastic companion as a solo cat or can join a family with other animals. He can also be adopted with one of his sisters, Shoshana or Jinx.October 21, 2025, 12:01 pm

Shoshana is beautiful dilute tortie. She is one of a litter of four kittens and came to our rescue as a young kitten. Although she is a street rescue, Shoshana quickly became accustomed to humans and now craves love and pets. “Shoo-Shoo” is a total sweetheart and would be a great partner for someone in need of companionship as a solo cat or can join a family with other animals. She can also be adopted with one of her siblings, Wilson or JinxOctober 21, 2025, 12:01 pm

Story
Are you looking for a year-round Halloween decoration? Are you an aspiring witch looking for a friendly and loving familiar? Maybe you are looking for an accomplice to cross the street in-front of an ex? Look no further! Asteroid is a [ ] month old black shorthair kitten that’s bursting with affection and personality. Sporting a midnight-black coat (with white ear tufts the only exception), Asteroid wants love and attention from YOU, and like, RIGHT NOW. He adores humans and will follow you around (appropriately, like a shadow should). In fact, he was found in Westchester when he approached a group of ladies having drinks in their back yard and would not leave them. When he is not busy being your shadow, he is happy to chill on a windowsill and watch life go by, nap in photogenic places, or peek out of an umbral void. Asteroid LOVES to talk, and wants to tell you all about his day when you get home. He is also super athletic and will jump, summersault and leap with enthusiasm.October 16, 2025, 8:05 pm

Story
Maggie Mae is shy but curious 4 year old spayed female who was brought into us terrified in a massive dog crate. After that traumatizing experience, Maggie has been slow to open up, but she has been making progress! She seeks out treats from us and is interested in our hands when we rest them in the cage, though she's still nervous if we move too quickly. She adores our other cats and will come up to the bars to chirp when we have other cats loose in the room. She's a great girl with a lot of potential who just needs someone who'll be willing to give her that extra bit of work to help her blossom. Maggie Mae is spayed and up to date on her vaccines. For more information on Maggie Mae, call AWS at 860-354-1350 email animalwelfare.socty@snet.net or visit our website aws-shelter.org for an application Adoption Fees for Senior cats (8yrs and up) is $50 Adult Cats $200 and Kittens under a year $250.
