My story

Meet this sweet 3-year-old male cat, who was brought to us by a kind officer from the Yale Police Department. This handsome boy was found dumped outside and picked up as a stray. He came to us scared and unsure, but with some patience and love, he’s starting to warm up and enjoy the pets and attention he deserves.He has a striking white and black coat, and though he’s still a little shy, you can see the potential for him to blossom into a loving companion with time. This gentle soul just needs a quiet, understanding home where he can feel safe and gradually gain confidence.If you're looking for a sweet, shy cat who just needs a little love and patience to become your best friend, he could be the perfect match for you. With the right family, he will undoubtedly thrive and become a loyal, affectionate companion. Come meet this special boy today and help him continue to build trust and feel loved!This cat is waiting for it's Forever Home!

Please consider fostering a cat or dog by applying on our website.A cat's behavior in the shelter is usually not 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.Kitten Policy: It is important to understand that the socialization of kittens with other animals as playmates 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 cannot place cats or kittens on hold. Your visit to the shelter is to meet any cat or kitten 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.
