This special boy has been through more than his fair share. He was found as a stray with a wound that's still healing, and while he's now safe and receiving care, the shelter environment has been a big, overwhelming change for him.
Right now, he's pretty scared and unsure of the world around him. He tends to keep to himself, watching quietly and trying to make sense of all the new sights and sounds. But underneath that fear is a cat who just needs time, patience, and a kind heart to help him feel safe again.
With continued care and a calm, understanding home, he has every chance to heal--both physically and emotionally. He's looking for someone willing to go slow, offer gentle reassurance, and give him the space he needs to come out of his shell.This cat is waiting for it's Forever Home!

A cat's behavior in the shelter may not be what it will be like in your home; if the cat is nervous, anxious, or agitated, please know that a shelter is a very stressful place for a cat. Most often, in a home, they thrive!
Kitten Policy: Kittens must be able to socialize with other young cats or dogs as playmates, as it is important for their development. Therefore, CT Cat Connection has a policy that kittens and teenagers up to 12 months of age are adopted in pairs unless there is another animal in the household as a playmate and companion.
Due to demand, we do not place cats or kittens on hold. Your visit to the shelter is to meet all cats or kittens available for adoption at the time of visit.
If you or anyone you know is interested in helping the shelter, we are always looking for foster families of our cats and dogs, as well as in-person volunteers, to assist with animal care. Fill out an application, which can be found at https://www.ctcatconnection.org/get-involved/
