Adopt A Cat From The Animal Center

The following cats and kittens are available for adoption through The Animal Center:

LUNA is a friendly, playful, and sweet female cat. She is a neighborhood cat who had been fed by a family that recently got evicted from its Sandy Hook home. Luna gets lots of attention and fed by Animal Center volunteers daily, but would love to find a forever home. She is spayed, healthy, and current on vaccines.

OREO is an outgoing, friendly, happy-go-lucky 12-week-old black and white tuxedo kitten. He loves making new friends and would adjust very easily to a new home environment, particularly a busy one with children. Oreo is an all around great kitten with a fabulous personality. He is neutered, healthy, and current on vaccines.

FRED and BARNEY are Newtown rescues. They are playful, 9-week-old kittens who were born outside in Sandy Hook. They were rescued when they were 6 weeks old and have transitioned very well to life in foster care. They may be adopted together or individually. Fred and Barney are neutered, healthy, and current on vaccines.

CASEY: When Animal Center officials first met Casey, she was slumped under a car where volunteers were trapping cats for spay/neuter. Casey did not move, nor could she lift her head when volunteers approached. They scooped her up and immediately brought her to the vet where it was learned that Casey was suffering from flea-induced anemia, which can be lethal for young kittens if gone untreated. Fleas drink blood and young kittens are very small and do not have blood to spare. Animal Center officials weren’t sure whether or not Casey would make it through the night, but this little kitten had a fierce will to live. Casey greeted the vet staff the next morning with purrs. She not only made it through the night, but she also started to eat on her own. Casey was at the vet hospital for a few weeks, recovering from the anemia and a mild upper respiratory infection. Casey has been released and is ready for adoption. She has recovered fully, but has kept a head tilt that developed when she had the upper respiratory episode. The tilt is minimal, does not hold her back from running and playing like other kittens her age, and her doctor expects the tilt will go away as she gets older. Casey is purry and very sweet, and warms up to new friends within minutes. She would do best in a cat-loving home where she would be gently handled and loved.

Good news: Pancake’s Mom and Dash have been adopted.
