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.

Story
Josie is a silly, feisty, small-sized bundle of fun. She LOVES playing with toys and running around after the other cats/kittens. She especially loves rolling around in the cat tunnel and playing with her little stuffed animals. She carries them around, tosses them around, and likes to bathe them in her water dish.  Josie is a shy girl but enjoys getting pet on her head and behind the ears. She can be picked up and handled but is not a fan of being held for long periods of time. She has suffered a right eye trauma as a kitten, and the issue is managed with eye drops. She has expressive eyes that will melt your heart. Josie needs a quiet/calm household as she is skittish of people and loud noises. She loves to play and would do well with other cats/kittens. She would love another cat to chase around, but a home with small children is not recommended as it might make her nervous. Josie was born around the end of February 2022 and is currently being fostered in New Haven. She is fixed, has had her rabies and first distemper 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.

Terra came to us as a tiny, feisty, scared kitten. She has blossomed into a beautiful, sweet, friendly young adult cat. She has been in her foster home for a year now and is a love. Terra craves human attention; she will go from one lap to another looking for attention and pets. She also loves to be groomed by her male cat buddy, Paris. She will curl up on the bed with you at night. Terra will let you cuddle her and reward you with purrs. She now comes out when there is company in her foster house. She gets along with the resident cats and foster kittens. She has not been exposed to dogs. A quieter home would be best for her with adults only or older children in the home.  Terra was born around May of 2023 and is currently being fostered in Waterbury. She is fixed, has had her rabies and first distemper shots, is microchipped and tested negative for FIV/FeLV* All of our cats and kittens are cared for in loving foster homes.

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
This is "Stella". Stella is a tortoiseshell and she is 3 years and 1 month old. Stella has been with us for a little over a year now. When Stella came to us, she had a problem with her skin. She was treated by our veterinarian but then we had to wait for her skin problem to clear up. That took some time but Stella did well and has been cleared by our veterinarian. Tortoiseshells are "dark" in color and are less likely to be adopted than a light colored cat. But we say that "you can't judge a book by its cover"! Stella is very playful but sometimes she gets a little "fresh" with the other cats in her foster home. She is doing much better though. Stella would do better in a house with only 1 cat and she could be okay with a small calm dog. We do not know how she would do with children because she has never been around children. In light of that, in Stella's new home, children must be 10 years old or older. Stella is spayed, she got her shots and she tested negative for leukemia/aids. To adopt from us, you MUST have a veterinarian reference in your own name. We will not place any animal without a veterinarian reference. We get a veterinarian reference from your veterinarian which is a history of medical care administered by your veterinarian to your present or previous pet or pets. Please do not contact us if you cannot abide by our adoption rules. The adoption fee for Stella is $200.00. No credit cards. You can meet any of our animals at Petco located at 201 Union Street in Waterbury on Saturday during our adoption hours from 12:00 to 3:00 so, if you are interested in meeting Stella or a particular animal, please email us at feline55keeper@gmail.com and we will be certain to bring that particular animal with us to Petco on Saturday. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE STRESS THAT IN ORDER TO ADOPT FROM US, YOU MUST HAVE A VETERINARIAN REFERENCE...NO EXCEPTIONS!

One of our previous volunteers was walking his dog by the gazebo and out comes Mommy cat jumping at his dog to protect her kittens! After some coaxing, we were able to scoop up Mommy and her kittens. All 5 kittens have since been adopted! Hope is a great cat. She was a wonderful Mommy, she did her job and she is now ready to find her indoor "furever" home. Hope has been spayed, she got her shots and she tested negative for leukemia/aids. In Hope's new home, children must be 6 years old or older.

Here is "Smoke". Smoke is 3 years and 11 months old. He is a gray tiger with beautiful white markings. He is quite a handsome guy! Smoke came to us with "Littlebitty". They came to us as friends and roommates. Smoke has been with us for 1 year and 10 months now waiting to find a home to call his own. Littlebitty got lucky and found herself a home and is now adopted. Although Smoke and Littlebitty were not related, they shared the same story. They came to us because their owner was in a homeless shelter and was not able to find a place to afford to live in and have pets. Smoke is an indoor cat. He is well behaved, he is very sweet and he is very friendly. He is just a great cat! Smoke is not used to dogs so he has to go to a home with no dogs. He does do well with other cats.

Story
We want you to meet "Hella". Hella is a brown tiger and she is about 4 years and 7 months old. Hella was found at the lower part of North Main Street in Waterbury. Hella was born with a crippled front right leg and she does fine with it. Our veterinarian says that there is no need to surgically remove her leg because infection could set in and the damage could do more than it would be worth. Hella has no problem jumping up on things, in fact, she jumps up on the couch, she jumps up on the bed and she jumps up in her cage. She is quite a girl! Hella is a very small cat and such a sweetheart. She is just an all around nice cat. We know that she is going to make someone very happy! Could that someone be you? In Hella's new home, she should be the only cat. Children must be 6 years old or older. Hella got spayed, she got her shots and she tested negative for feline leukemia/aids. Boy Hella did not even mind being at the veterinarian! The veterinarian could do anything to Hella and Hella did not even "bat an eyelash"! We were all surprised! To adopt from us, you MUST have a veterinarian reference in your own name. We will not place any animal without a veterinarian reference. We get a veterinarian reference from your veterinarian which is a history of medical care administered by your veterinarian to your present or previous pet or pets.

Story
Here we have "Jerry". Jerry is about 3 years and 7 months old. He is mostly gray and quite handsome with his beautiful white markings and beautiful long white whiskers! Jerry came to us with his brother a while ago from an elderly couple who could not take care of them anymore. The two cats came to us stuffed together in a small carrier and they could hardly move. Jerry's brother is not quite ready for adoption yet. Jerry and his brother are not bonded so they do not have to be adopted together. Now let's talk about Jerry! Jerry is a very nice cat and he is very loving. He will be shy in the beginning. For the first week or so it will be a little strange for Jerry being in a new home but, once he knows his new home, he will come around and we know he will be a wonderful cat. In Jerry's new home, there should be female cats only and no male cats. Children must be 6 years old or older. Jerry is neutered, his shots are updated, he was wormed and he tested negative for feline leukemia/aids. To adopt from us, you MUST have a veterinarian reference in your own name. We will not place any animal without a veterinarian reference.
