Tabby kittens & cats in Edwardsville, Kansas

Gilbert is a very sweet and lovable cat that we adopted from the Bonner Springs animal shelter two months after our house cat got outside and ran off. He is 2-3 years old, spayed and up to date on all his shots, he is litter box trained and adjusted very well when we brought him home. He is very gentle and great with children. Two days after adopting Gilbert our house cat was found and returned home, but she did not appreciate our new addition. Gilbert was very curious, never hissed or acted violent toward our cat but he would chase her when she ran off (which she does every time she sees him). She is older and not adjusting well to Gilbert so we have to keep them separated, which is no life for a loving cat like Gil. We do not have a dog but were told by the animal shelter that he did well around them. We are not charging any fees as we just want to find Gil a good home. We will also provide a litter box and cat tree, and can start you off with a bag of IAMs food if so desired.

Jackson is a wonderful cat looking for his forever home. He is handsome, athletic, can be feisty, and playful. When he’s in the mood for affection, Jackson will happily curl up next to you. He’s also independent and enjoys his alone time, exploring his surroundings and lounging in his favorite sunny spots. Jackson responds best to gentle interaction, so a calm and patient approach is key to winning his heart. Jackson may do best as an only cat, as he is selective about his feline friends and prefers a peaceful atmosphere. He thrives on human companionship. Jackson is litter-box trained and current on his vaccinations. If you’re looking for a loving companion who values his space as much as he enjoys your company, Jackson might be the perfect fit for you! (*Jackson's profile shows Long Timer only because we had him here for a very short time months ago, I pulled down his post, and just reposted his profile here again recently).

Max is a lovable indoor cat who thrives on companionship. If you're looking for someone to love on, Max is your guy! This charming guy is shy at first, but once he warms up to you, his sweet personality shines through and there is no way not to *love* Max. He is very affectionate and enjoys cozying up on your lap and getting all the love and attention he can. If you are looking for a very gentle and loving friend to brighten your days and share cozy moments, Max may be the perfect match for you! ($20 rehoming fee covers part of the cost of the nice Carrier we will give you, with Max).

Fitzgerald is a very snuggly loving cat that loves cuddling and attention. Recently we moved and that was very stressful on him. We feel he’d benefit better being in a home he can have constant attention without other animals.

TJ is the orange, and Smoky is the grey blue. Both are bonded, they’ve been together since birth. They’re both 8. Smoky is shy and skittish. He’ll warm up with treats, patients, and eventually belly rubs. It will, however, take a long time for him to feel comfortable. TJ is a typical orange cat. He’ll be shy at first but don’t worry he’ll warm up. He loves pets, kisses, and snuggles. Both of them are obsessed with food. TJ has an issue with spraying. Every time we go to the vet, they say that he’s fine. We haven’t gone in a year, but this issue has been going on for a while. I’ve only been in the family for a few years, and I’ve tried everything that we could afford. I just can’t keep up with him and a child financially. They’re would need to go to a home that is willing to be patient. A home where they can get the care that they need. One more thing, they can’t be around hyper or aggressive dogs. They have history with being attacked by their old families dogs.

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!)
