Cats Available

For Adoption

The following cats and kittens are among those available for adoption through The Animal Center:

MR LOVIE is a friendly and affectionate 5-6-month-old kitty for adoption. He showed up at one of the Animal Center’s outdoor cat colonies one day and never left. Animal Center officials would see him each time they went to feed the outdoor cats and, after three weeks, he finally decided to introduce himself by curling around an Animal Center’s volunteer’s feet for petting. Officials scooped him up and brought him into the foster program, and this kitty couldn’t be happier to be warm, fed, and safe. Animal Center officials put a kitty bed in his room and it’s so snuggly and soft he never leaves it (unless, of course, you are there to feed him or show affection). Mr Lovie has a genuinely sweet and gentle personality. He’s approximately 5 months old, neutered, and current on vaccines.

PUMPKIN is a friendly and affectionate 18-month-old orange tiger cat who would adjust easily to a new home environment. She is spayed, healthy, and current on vaccines.

MOOSE is a handsome, 4-year-old Main Coon cat with a deep “manly” purr. As is typical for Maine Coons, he is affectionate, good-natured, and adores everyone he meets. In fact, when Animal Center officials met Moose for the first time, he wouldn’t stop purring the entire time they were there. Seeing how sweet Moose is now, Animal Center volunteers can imagine how scared and crummy he felt the night he was picked up by police back in November. The police had received a call reporting a possibly injured cat in Sandy Hook and they brought him to Mt Pleasant Hospital for Animals. When Moose arrived at the hospital, the staff determined that he had had a seizure. To make matters worse, he was flea-infested, underweight and his long hair was so terribly balled up and matted that it was causing significant skin chafing and scabbing. No wonder he was hissing! We may never know how this gentle giant got so down on his luck, but we do know that things are really looking up for Moose these days. Moose has been seizure-free since November and his bloodwork indicates that he is in excellent health. His skin is healing and feeling so much better, he’s putting on weight and he’s been given the green light by his doctor to get adopted. Can you give Moose the loving, forever home he deserves? Moose is neutered and current on vaccines.

AGGIE is a playful kitty who has adapted beautifully from a once shy, free-roaming cat to one who loves human attention. Aggie started her life as a community cat, and Animal Center officials first met her when her caretaker was evicted from her home in Sandy Hook. Aggie was cared for outside with her feline friends until the winter, when she was brought into The Animal Center’s program to live with a foster family. Nicknamed Peanut for her diminutive size, Aggie is not small on personality. She loves to bat toys around and playfully chase her foster friend, Cecily who is also from this community cat colony. Aggie shows no signs of missing outdoor life and each day grows more comfortable with people and the noises of busy human life. Aggie has many special qualities, and one of the most fun is that she wags her tail like a puppy to show she’s happy. Aggie is approximately two years old, spayed, healthy, and current on vaccines.

Good news: Pop Tart, Peaches & Penny have been adopted.
