Story
Khloe is a beautiful and independent kitty who knows what she likes! At 5 years old, she’s a confident, indoor-only cat who enjoys exploring her surroundings and playing with toys. While she isn’t the type to seek out constant attention, she loves to cuddle and sit with you—on her own terms, of course! Petting is a delicate balance with her, as she can get overstimulated easily. She prefers a light touch and lets you know when she’s had enough. Khloe does well with people and will thrive in a calm, patient home. If you have other pets, she’ll need plenty of time to adjust, as she’s slow to warm up to furry friends. If you’re looking for a cat who’s both independent and affectionate in her own way, Khloe could be the perfect match for you!

Story
Here’s Herbie, my beautiful, smart 3 year old cat. I adopted him two and a half years ago from a shelter in New Fairfield. He loves to snuggle. He and I have spent lots of time together with him on my chest or on my legs, purring away. He waits for me at the door when I go out. Herbie loves food and I have been able to teach him a couple of tricks using the clicker method and rewarding him with treats. He needs lots of attention. He likes to play; for example, to chase down plastic spring-y toys. But doesn’t like anyone to touch his feet and he hates being in the car. Although most of the time he is a loving, lovable pet, Herbie bites, which is why I’m sadly giving him up.

Story
This pretty kitty is Cuddles and she is one of our HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS cats! If you adopt Cuddles before January 1, the adoption fee will be half-price! Cuddles is a stunning 10-year-old girl who has had her time as a mom and is now looking for her forever home. She prefers a quiet environment with someone or a couple who loves reading, chatting, and catering to the love of their life… Cuddles. She does not need to be an only cat, but would prefer to only have one other companion if possible. She loves morning pillow talk, loving, scratches, and any kind of treats! Although she has put on a little weight since being spayed, Cuddles loves to play with wands and toys and can be quite the hunter. Having spent a significant time on the streets, she prefers a household without dogs. Cuddles comes with quite an endowment of toys, blankets, a bed and a scratching post. If you or someone you know is looking for a companion to keep them company as winter comes along, consider Cuddles! After all who doesn’t want more cuddles in their life?
