Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

Vivienne, “Vivi,” is a tortie kitten, spice level mild/sweet. We believe she lived most of her life as an outdoor kitten before she was rescued in January from the frigid cold.

Vivi is affectionate and will likely become a Velcro kitty once she fully comes out of her shell. She takes playing very seriously. We found a graveyard of toy mice stowed away in her play tent after she had “killed” them. To unlock the tortitude, simply pet the belly—NO, DO NOT PET THE BELLY—or leave her alone in a room to hear her cry for attention in between naps like a screeching seagull. Speaking of quirks, one of our favorites of Vivi’s is the tip of her tail, which is pointed inwards, creating a small hook and inspiring her nickname “Scoops.”

Vivi does well with children and has not yet been tested with dogs, though her easygoing demeanor suggests that she would do well after a proper respectful introduction. Vivienne shows interest in the resident cats in her foster home and would love another kitty to play with, though she could be happy as an only fur-child to someone who will dote on her regularly (or ALL the time, per her). As much as she can hold her own around unenthusiastic resident cats, she will need a patient human to help coax her out of her shell as she learns to trust people and live her best life as your lap cat.

Vivienne was born around July 21, 2025, and is currently being fostered in Southington. She is fixed, up-to-date on shots, and has tested negative 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.
