Because life is better with a cat on your lap!
Hi, I just wanted to send a picture of Bailey (formerly Bamboo) with his sister, Bella. They get along very well and are beginning to spend lots of time playing together. Bailey seems to have recovered from a nasty mouth/gum infection. He hated his medication, but I know he feels alot better! He’s also been to the groomers and loves his lion cut! We love him and he has adjusted
Hello, just wanted to let you know that Jimbo is loving life with us. We adopted him back in February (kept the name) and though it was hard to choose I can’t believe that we picked the absolute best cat. He has a such great personality. Thanks again, Irene
Hi, Kitty Connection, I want to tell you what a delight it is to have Samantha as a part of my family. She has such a fun personality — she always looks for a game of tag or wants to wrestle with my hand as I tickle her here and there! — and is so very loving. She loves to have her ears rubbed and enjoys a good brushing as
I just want to let you know the kittens are doing GREAT! We love them so much. My daughter was so surprised and happy, she wakes up every morning and says “I am the luckiest girl in the world”. It is hard to get pictures of them when they are awake, cause they are so playful and active. They have adjusted unbelievable well. Again thank you! Siobhán
Tigger, formally Jaclyn, is now getting along a little better with his big brother Jasper. They have been together a little over a week now. Jannaa
Dominic is a very handsome grey and white green eyed boy. His nose is half black and half white. He has beautiful white paws. And he is FIV+. I adopted Dom in 2005. I was reassured by what Marie told me about incorporating an FIV+ cat into the household and also solicited opinions from other cat lover friends and my vet. Everyone said it is no problem. And it hasn’t
His name is Bonjo. He is about 10 years old. He has been missing since 1/23/13 from Somerville, MA. Distinct features are his half tail and missing molar on the left side. He does not wear his collar or wear a microchip. VERY FRIENDLY. ateixeira92@live.com
He’s doing great. There was no adjustment or hiding period which surprised us. As soon as he came out of of the cat carrier he was all over us and jumping up and down on the furniture, rolling around everywhere. Like he knew it was home. He loves the kitty condo we got him. It has 3 levels (yes, I’m afraid he is already spoiled lol) He is the sweetest,
We decided we’d like to adopt a little kitten as a great new addition to our family. We love animals and have a six year old bunny rabbit. While we would also like to get a puppy, we thought a kitten would be an easier introduction to a home with a resident rabbit (Rhudy, the resident rabbit!). My husband has had cats as pets all his life, but I was
This kitten was last seen on January 31st, 2013. Any information leading up to his rescue would be greatly appreciated. derek.depietro@gmail.com
We wanted to thank you for taking care of Dib and Gaz (formerly Samantha and Topperina) and for matching us up with them. They are so playful and loving. Dib loves to stretch all the way out on his back and let us rub his belly – after a few minutes he will fall asleep like that. Gaz loves to snuggle up at my feet at night. And they both
Hey there! So, it’s been over 2 months since I adopted Boots and Jack (Formerly Sox and Cracker Jax), and they have settled in like brothers. They LOVE to roll around play-fighting, and then when they get tired of that, they’ll groom each other. Then they’ll tousle some more, then groom, and so on. It’s adorable! They are seriously the best cats I could have found. They sleep with me
It has only been one week since we adopted Oscar (previously O.J. _ his middle name is Jones so the initials still work) and we already feel like he is part of our family. He was very stressed while waiting to be adopted because he doesn’t feel comfortable around other cats, and he was hiding in a corner, but as soon as we got him to our apartment he was
Hi Ronny! Momo is doing amazing. He is sitting right next to me watching the game as we speak 🙂 I couldn’t have asked for a better cat! Being a new cat mom I drove him crazy by always calling his name and checking in on him, but he’s a very confident cat on his own. He comes when he’s called, comes to bed with me when it’s bedtime, and greets all
Hi Elizabeth, Wilbur is doing great! He seems to be very healthy and happy. We think adopting him was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. I’ve attached a recent picture of him for you to see 🙂 Thank you so much for all that you guys do! Thanks, Abby
Hi Marie (and JJ), I wanted to send you an update/success story about Jamaica, the shy kitty that we adopted on Aug. 8. Read on for good news! When we adopted her, Jamaica (who goes by Jams) was a very shy kitty who preferred other cats to humans. She spent her first couple of days hiding under the very small space underneath our dresser, sometimes eating the treats we
Thought you might like to see Tobin and Jade hanging out. 🙂 They’re doing wonderful! They’re such good friends. I couldn’t ask for better compatibility. They play together, sleep together, call for each other. They even share toys by taking turns. It’s kind of hilarious. They really have such a wonderful dynamic. Thank you, KC! (Especially Marie.)

Hi Marie, thanks for your response. Attached are a couple photos of Piglet (tiger) along with her best friend Battle Cat (calico). The people at Kitty Connection went out of the way to help find the right cat for us. We asked for an affectionate cat and sure got one! She loves being petted, and having her tummy rubbed. She likes to run around the house making little chirping noises,
My name is Grover and I’m a very friendly 3- to 4-year-old male cat. A nice lady took me off the street when she realized I had no home and now I’m really happy to be safe inside. I have an old eye injury that healed over but I can see just fine . I love being petted and loved, and I’m good with other cats, too!! I hope it
Adopted! My name is Eddington and I was trapped with 18 other cats in a feral colony. Fifteen of us turned out to be friendly. At the Vet we found out that I had Entropion, a genetic medical condition where one of my lower eyelids folded inward, causing discomfort and pain because my eyelashes constantly rubbed against my cornea. I was lucky enough to receive surgery to repair my eyelid.
I’m a 6-year-old female Long Hair Chihuahua mix whose owner passed away. I had a litter but am now spayed and ready for a forever home. I’m very friendly and affectionate. I’d do best as an only pet as I love attention and will get jealous of another pet getting any of that love. I enjoy sitting on your lap and sleeping in bed with you. I would do better

Adopted! My name is Chickie and I’m a 2 year old female lab/blue nose pit mix dog. I am an extremely, friendly, lovable and sweet girl. I am good with cats and children. If introduced properly, I’m good with other dogs but would do best in a home as an only as I love all the attention. I was in a neglected home and used for breeding. A nice lady
Adopted! I’m a 3-year-old German Shepherd in need of a forever home. I’m good with children, well behaved, and all trained!
My name is Grrr and I am a 5- to 7-year-old girl. I am very sweet-natured yet also pretty independent. I love attention but I also do ok on my own. However, I am not too keen on being picked up but I think that could be because I am a little chubby. (My food will need to be monitored.) I like to sit next to my foster mom and
I’m a 9-year-old purebred Akita. My owner passed away in January, and her family must sell her home. There are no family members who have the room to keep me. I’m affectionate and love people, but I can’t go to a home that has cats or other animals. I come with a crate and bed that’s mine. I’m fixed and all my medical have been done. Please contact Kitty Connection
Hi! I am Boswell. I am a 2- to 3-year-old male. I was found wandering around outside on my own in the snow. I am so happy to be inside where it is warm and there are laps to climb into. I am a super sweet, very gentle, and playful boy. I love to snuggle and to have my cheeks scratched. I enjoy the company of other cats, but would
Below is a list of rules every dog owner should follow to ensure your dog knows his place in your human pack. If your dog guards his food or growls at humans in the family, and especially if you own a wolf hybrid, these rules should be strictly followed. Dogs need to have a clear place in their pack. A dog lacking in this clear order is an unhappy dog.
Dogs are social animals and form strong attachments to other dogs and to people. The dog’s first experience with separation anxiety is when the pup is separated from its mother and littermates. New owners expect their puppy to be restless the first few nights he spends in his new home. In later life, problems arise when a dependent dog has a strong attachment to one person. The owners are kindly
Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog’s owners, Ron, his wife Lisa, and their little boy Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle. I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family we couldn’t do anything for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old
My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you is likely to be painful. Give me time to understand what you want of me. Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being. Don’t be angry with me for long and don’t lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainment, but I have only you. Talk to me. Even if
Dominic is a little spitfire! He is very curious and loves to check everything out. Dominic likes to jump up things and check out his kingdom! He has excellent litter box habits and is always a gentleman. Dominic only likes pets when he is in the mood for them- after all, he is too busy exploring! If you are interested in giving a home to Dominic, please email info@rabbitnetwork.org or
Adopted! I’m a healthy 12-year-old, Lhasa Apso/Terrier mix (weighing 20 pounds). My mom is ill and cannot take care of me. It makes me so sad that she is so sick because I know how much she loves me and is worried about me finding a home. I am spayed and up to date on my vaccinations. I love to cuddle and play and go for walks. I’m very well
Tyger desperately needs to find a new home. He’s sweet, playful and has no aggression issues. His current owner has to give him up or she could be evicted. She is hoping to find a home with lots of space for him and maybe with someone who would allow her to see him. If you can give Tyger a good home, please contact Isis at 857-544-3756.
Adopted! Our names are Smokey and Blacky. We are 5- to 7-year-old brothers looking for a home together. Our owners had to surrender us because they are moving to a home where someone is highly allergic to cats. They are very sad and so are we because we’ve all lived happily together all of our lives. We are extremely friendly and loving cats. We enjoy all the attention anyone shows
Adopted! Hi, I am Eliza, a young little girl who was rescued from a life on the street. It’s a very good thing, too, because I was suffering from a major infection which would have killed me in no time. I just had surgery and, as you can see, am recovering at the Kitty Connection Rescue Home. What you cannot see is that I am very pretty with a beautiful
Adopted! My name is Eddington and I’m a 3- to 4-year-old male cat. I was rescued from outside with 15 other friendly cats that were all living together. Fortunately we were all helped and Kitty Connection took me in to find a home. I am extremely friendly and lovable and when you come in, I’m usually the first one to come in and greet you. I just love being petted
Adopted! My name is Punky and I’m a 4-year-old Russian Blue mix female cat. I was surrendered with Funky because our owner was allergic to us. I’m friendly and am trying to settle in to new surroundings. I hope it won’t be long before I have a home of my own.
My name is Daisy and I was just returned to Kitty Connection because my last adopter got a dog I did not like. I am back here after a year away and this time I hope to find true love. I am a full-figured, 7- to 9-year-old female. I am very friendly, sweet, gentle, and loving, and simply love to be near my people. Snuggling up with you on the
I am a very confident, 3- to 5-year-old male. Eighteen cats were trapped for TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return) in a local “feral” colony, and after we were all visited the vet for check-ups, it was learned that 15 of the 18 cats were friendly. We were spayed and neutered and given all the necessary vaccines. I am lucky ’cause I am one of those friendly ones; I had a home
Adopted! Hi, My name is Kissmas; I was found before Xmas by a very nice lady, hence my name. She called Kitty Connection and here I am… looking for a furever home. I am a petite 1- to 2-year-old girl with shiny black fur. I am extremely sweet and loving and just love attention. I get along very well with other cats but I’m not sure I like my foster
Hi, I am a brown, short-furred tabby named Mistyk. I was discovered hanging around a neighborhood by a Kitty Connection volunteer. I was being fed by a kind 90-year-old lady but… I had no real home. At one time I had a home because I am very friendly and playful. I am now settling in at a nice, warm foster home where I have food all the time and attention
Watch my videos below! My name is Rhea and I’m a 2-year-old female who is FIV positive. I love to rub up against you and be pet (but it must be on my time). I am independent for the most part and only come out when I want. Once I get accustomed to you I am extremely loving and always purring! I have the sweetest little mew and crave attention
Adopted! Hey there, my name is Malcolm. I am a friendly 2-year-old boy that was rescued from a yard in Dorchester. I am very confused and sad ’cause I think my family abandoned me there. I am not too crazy about other animals and can be a bit bossy with other adult cats. But I love people! I am very sweet and affectionate but not needy. I would love to
I am Eliza… a feisty but very friendly 3-year-old girl. I was rescued as a kitten and was placed in a loving home where I lived for two years. Then, they had a baby who grew to be deathly allergic so they tearfully had to give me back. I am chatty and very playful, but I can be bossy with other cats because I is the queen! I am okay

What can I say about Aidan (Chuck)? I’ll tell you what I can say. He was the sweetest boy I ever met!! I may have only known him for one month but he has found a place in my heart forever. He never once tried to scratch or bite. He never hissed. The vets all said that he was a love. Even as he became more ill and I
Update on Mama Mia “Cloudy,” she is doing fantastic. She has come a long way, she doesn’t hide anymore and roams around the house with no worries. We still can’t pet her unless she’s eating her breakfast but she loves to play. The her and Papa Gino are still best friends too! I forgot to mention she adores my boyfriend. She will jump on the couch and lie down with
Hi Elizabeth, Marie, and Sharon – we just wanted to give you an update on the settling in process with the new kitten. Ollie hissed and was pretty mad at all of us for a couple days but soon they settled right in and got used to each other, and now one is chasing the other around pretty constantly. We think she enjoys the constant companionship and having an equal
