Story
Lola recently moved to CT from California with her mom and cat-brother Tiger. The relocation to much smaller living quarters led to territorial issues. The two cats ended up not getting along, and Tiger became quite aggressive. Lola sustained and recovered from bite wounds that required vet care. The cats can no longer live together safely and she is being fostered at another location. Lola needs to be the only cat in preferably an adult and somewhat quiet home. She is an indoor only cat. Lola will need some adjustment time and will be pretty shy at first. Once she gets to know you, she loves being pet, brushed, and playing with toys. You will love her sweet purr! She is 10 years old, healthy, very calm, and low maintenance. We will provide her adopter with 1 month supply of food, treats, toys, brush, and litter box.

  Lily came to Animals For Life ,shy, skittish and with little human contact. She is  8 y.o  and is currently being fostered and loves playing, being pet and brushed and will remind you by gently tapping you with her paw. Lily will need to go to a quiet home with a family that will give her the time she needs to get comfortable and adjust to her new surroundings. Although still a bit skittish, Lily has tons of love to give.

Story
NOTE: A portion of the adoption fee for Suzie is generously being sponsored by an anonymous donor. She can be yours at a reduced fee of $200, pending the standard adoption approval process. Suzie is a sweet girl who needs someone to take a chance on her. She came from a not-so-great situation, so it has taken a while for her foster parents to build up trust with her. She now allows her foster parents to pet, give kisses and even hold her! She is not a lap cat yet, but she is getting there. She loves to sit in the window while hanging out with her foster mom and watching what is going on outside. Because of the situation she was in prior to being fostered, she needs to be the only cat in the household. Suzie was born around March 2021, and she is currently being fostered in Ansonia.  She is fixed, is up-to-date on shots, is microchipped and tested neg for FIV/FeLV* ' All of our cats and kittens are cared for in loving foster homes. "Meet and greets" can be arranged only after an application has been submitted and approved.  Application for adoption can be found at  https://www.fosterandforever.org/     Our volunteers do their best to respond within 24 - 48 hrs.
