Tabby kittens & cats in Bridgeport, Connecticut

Meet Eleanor, a stunning 10-year-old tabby with a gentle heart and a longing for a quiet, loving home. Her journey hasn’t been easy—after her male owner passed away and her female owner moved into assisted living, Eleanor and six other cats found themselves at the shelter. The sudden loss of her family left Eleanor feeling shut down and heartbroken, but her resilient spirit touched everyone who met her. Now thriving in her foster home, Eleanor has begun to show her true, sweet personality. She enjoys exploring her surroundings, crafting perfect biscuits with her paws, and curling up in her tower for peaceful naps. Eleanor is wonderfully expressive—she’ll greet you with meows when she sees you or when she’s ready for her next delicious meal. Her affectionate nature makes her a delight to have around, especially for someone who spends a lot of time at home, as she thrives on companionship and your presence. While Eleanor previously lived with other cats, she’s made it clear she prefers to be the queen of her castle and would do best as your only pet. She tolerates the dogs in her foster home but would be happiest in a home where all the attention is hers to soak up. Eleanor is ready to leave her past behind and start a new chapter filled with love and comfort. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion to share your days, Eleanor would love to meet you! Her adoption fee is $200 and Eleanor is vaccinated, FIV/FELV negative, microchipped, and spayed. She also qualifies for our Senior-to-Senior program so if you're 60 years or older, you can adopt her for just $150.

Meet Mou, a big handsome boy whose a little shy but has a lot of love to give when he opens up to you. Mou is patient, loving, and would prefer a home where he has a window to look outside and a bed to snuggle in. Mou is great with our whole family, including our 5-year-old, however he is a little shy but once he knows you he’ll come out of his shell. He’s handsome and loves his humans. Once Mou warms up, you can look forward to him caressing your face or arms while you snuggle! He’s so darn sweet! Mou’s original owner sadly had to leave him behind when he moved but he made sure he had a place to stay with us before he left instead of a shelter. It’s really important to us to find Mou the stable and forever home that he deserves. Mou has lived with another cat before living with us, we have not witnessed personally how he is with other cats but we would assume he would enjoy a companion as he currently seeks out our dog to play.

What's that rumble? Oh, it's Bumble! This playful boy loves to chase his ball around and be a wild cat. A rough and rowdy player, Bumble would do well with the company of another young and playful cat (for him to stalk and surprise!) or oppositely, an old, relaxed cat who won't mind his antics. Two years old and full of beans, he can't be picked up, needs his own space and will tell you, "No thank you" but far less politely. However, if you want to drag a string or feather around or throw his ball than he'll happily spend all day with you. Bumble is neutered and current on all shots, ready for his new home. If you've got room in your heart for an energetic wild-man who plays by his own rules and requires you follow them too, then take a chance on Bumble and make your appointment to meet him today. He is not the biggest fan of other cats, and does not like dogs, but he loves the attention he gets from people. Bumble is a 2-year-old neutered male For more information on Bumble, 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.

We always have Barn and Farm cats to place! Most of these are cats who are not friendly with people, although many do become so over time. These cats live outside primarily and help reduce rodent populations often found on farms. Barns, feed stores, warehouses or any building that offers a cat escape from weather and predators is ideal for placement. We like to place in pairs but that is not required. The cats in this photo are shy/timid with people but not aggressive and would do best in a barn or farm home, not as a house cat. Callie has been adopted! She became friendly with her daily feeder on the street and will likely bond with her new caregivers in her barn home. Interested in adopting barn/farm cats?

Sherry is a beautiful and friendly girl who came to us as a very pregnant stray. She was going door to door at a condo complex looking for food and we were able to get her into foster just 3 days before she gave birth. She had 5 adorable babies in early December who have been adopted and now it's mom's turn! If interested in adopting, start at CatsCT.org. See this kitty in purrson at PETCO, 4559 Main St, Bridgeport starting approx March 1.

Mango is a handsome 2 year old guy who loves to have attention and be petted. He is still quite playful, especially if there's catnip, and gets along with other cats. He is an easy going guy and would likely do well with a cat-friendly dog. Mango has tested positive for FIV, also known at kitty Aids. Just like with people it is NOT contagious through casual contact. It's safe to share food, water, and litter box with a negative cat. FIV is only passed by a deep bite wound, where saliva from the positive cat enters the blood stream of another kitty. This is very rare in socialized house cats. FIV cats may have a shorter life span in part due to the fact that with a compromised immune system they are more prone to contracting infections. FIV positive cats must live strictly indoors to reduce the chances of contracting something dangerous. It is NOT a death sentence! FIV positive cats can live well into their teens and have a very normal life. If interested in adopting, start at CatsCT.org.
