Retina - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in New Milford, Connecticut

Meet Retina!

Retina is 10 weeks old and looking for a family to call her own. She is FeLV/FIV negative, vaccinated, dewormed, and will be spayed prior to adoption.

Retina was rescued from a hoarding situation in Bridgeport alongside her siblings and cousins. Unfortunately, not every kitten made it out. When she came into our care, she was suffering from a severe upper respiratory infection and developed corneal ulcers. She was treated before permanent damage could occur. While she has a little scarring, her vision is normal and it certainly doesn't slow her down.

Retina is everything you could want in a kitten—playful, affectionate, and always ready for an adventure before curling up for a nap. She has been raised around dogs, cats, and guinea pigs and would fit into almost any family.

Please refer to our kitten adoption policy below.


Our kittens are getting ready for adoption, but we follow practices that put their long-term welfare first. One of these is our policy of only adopting kittens out in pairs, or into homes that already have another cat.

Kittens raised without another cat companion often develop whats known as Single Kitten Syndrome. Without another feline to learn from, they can struggle with:
Rough play like biting and scratching
Difficulty handling frustration or being left alone
Overdependence on humans for stimulation
Higher risk of behavioral problems as they mature

Cats teach each other important skills through play, bite inhibition, body language, conflict resolution, and respecting boundaries. These are lessons humans simply cant provide. A feline friend ensures healthier development, less stress, and a happier bond for both cat and adopter.

Our goal is to set cats and adopters up for lifelong success. This may mean waiting a little longer to adopt, but it leads to stronger, healthier relationships.
