Patience tippy taps her little white toes when you pet her; it is the cutest thing on the planet! She is a tad shy at first, but she is also sweet and loving and wants to be with people who love her. And Patience has quite a story to tell.
During her spay surgery at a high-volume city shelter, someone suspected that Patience had pneumonia, so she was slated for euthanasia. An x-ray was taken, which showed no pneumonia but reportedly showed a *severely* enlarged heart. Her surgery was completed and she was posted as "rescue only," which meant if a rescue group didn't quickly pull her, she would be euthanized.
The Pet Connection knows that even big-hearted kitties can live happy lives with medical support, so we pulled out all the stops and saved Patience with not even a moment to spare. What a relief to know she was safe!
Then we got Patience's medical records, including her x-ray, and had three different veterinarians take a look. None of them could see an enlarged heart, pneumonia, or ANYTHING wrong with this sweet, sweet baby girl!
Now this special girl (with her regular-sized heart and tippy tappy toes) needs an extra special home. She needs a home where she's a spoiled princess with soft, warm beds and good food. Patience also needs a home with patient people (see what we did there?) because she'll likely start exploring and playing with her toys soon after arrival but before she's ready to be petted and/or handled by her new humans. That's not asking too much now, is it?
Call or text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387 for more info on Patience. She's in Beloit, KS, but transport is available to the right home. (The Pet Connection directors frequently travel to and from the Kansas City metro and are happy to bring Patience along on one of their trips!)

Since 1999, The Pet Connection has found homes for more than 7,000 animals and rehabilitated hundreds of dogs and cats with aggression, fear and anxiety issues. We have spayed or neutered over 8,000 dogs and cats in our own free and low-cost clinics since 2002 and assisted another 5,800 pets with low-cost services since 2006. The Pet Connection was founded in 1999 in Mission, Kansas, to offer shelter for homeless pets, adoptions and training. We were one of the first no-kill advocacy groups in the Kansas City metro area and the first cage-free facility in Johnson County to offer education about available spay and neuter programs. In 2006, The Pet Connection relocated to a facility in Mission that enabled all dogs and cats to have their own rooms while awaiting adoptive homes or being rehabilitated due to behaviors that hindered adoption prospects. The Pet Connection currently focuses on pet adoptions, dog and cat training, aggressive dog rehabilitation, and classes for pet owners. We were the first in this area to offer free training/behavior classes to adopters.
The Pet Connection trainers and behavior members use a team approach in order to implement the ideas that have the highest success rate. Our five behavioral trainers working out of the Kansas City metro have a variety of backgrounds applicable to dog training and behavior. The Pet Connection implements positive reinforcement training methods, where the dog learns to face the trigger, but to respond appropriately. Read about our experienced trainers under “Meet the Team" on our website at www.thepetconnection.net.
The Pet Connection has always been committed to being no-kill advocates. We have been involved in many projects with local and national organizations to help Kansas City progress in how homeless pets are cared for and to improve the services that they receive. Our organization is a 501c3 charity in the state of Kansas, and has always provided thousands of dollars worth of supplies, including cat litter, food, toys, beds and dog houses, to other rescues and shelters.
