Mercutio was a feral cat we started feeding last spring. He used to run away every time we opened the door but he slowly warmed up to us and now wants play and cuddles. He recently decided he doesn't want to be an outdoor kitty anymore and we are fostering him. He loves ear scratches, playing with his toys, and catnip mouses. He is also becoming a lap kitty and enjoys laying with you making air biscuits.

Story

Tali is a 2 year old affectionate, excitable, active girl. I adopted her through KC Pet Project a few months ago after falling in love with her at a Petco. Her big green eyes, curious nature, and immediate desire to rub up against me and receive endless pets won me over. Sadly, after a long and careful introduction to my other cats, she started to corner my 15 year old cat causing her a lot of anxiety. I felt immensely guilty for the stress this situation put on the cat I've had for nearly half my life. This led to the very hard decision to rehome Tali. Tali absolutely loves people. She'll run up to anyone and demand hard pets and will eventually collapse in your lap if you let her. She's curious, food-motivated, playful, and so darn loving. She'd make an excellent only pet and I wouldn't be surprised if she did well with dogs or potentially boy cats. It was my mistake to have 3 girl cats (3 calicos at that). Bonus fun: I've taught her how to sit and beg (meerkat) for treats!

Yari

American Shorthair

Female, Adult

Details

Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Yari, an affectionate, loving kitty living outside in a colony with other cats. She's so friendly and trusting of humans that she probably didn't grow up outside. When the colony caretaker first saw her, Yari was very hungry and way too skinny. Even so, she didn't mind sharing her food with her colony kitty friend Autumn, who is also available for adoption. Yari has gained at least three pounds in the last three to four months. Needless to say, no one was looking for this sweet girl. Yari deserves a home with someone who will show her what it's like to live the good life indoors, with the love and care she needs. She'd love a soft, warm place to sleep, good food, clean water, and plenty of scratches and pets! Call or text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387 for more info on Yari. She's in the KC metro, but transport might be available to the right home.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Tilly’s story began in an Oakland, CA dumpster, where he was rescued as a tiny kitten and bottle-fed with love. His name, short for Matilda, was given when he was mistaken for a girl—but it suits his sweet, gentle nature perfectly! Tilly is a big boy who loves sleeping at the foot of the bed but would be even happier cuddled in your arms. He’s very affectionate and shares an unbreakable bond with his baby sister, Belle—they’re inseparable and would thrive in a home together. Tilly loves chasing kibble tosses for exercise and has a special talent for singing back and forth with his humans. While he’s a bit shy with new people, he quickly warms up and is great with kids, dogs, and other cats. Our hearts are broken that we can’t take him on our move to Paris, but we’re hopeful to find a loving home where he can continue to bring joy and companionship. Could this sweet, easygoing boy (and his sister Belle!) be the perfect addition to your family?

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Lucifer the cat is the sweetest boy. We nickname him toosifer because he is too much with his love. He is about 7 years old, we have to rehome because we are moving and will not be able to have any animals in the future apartment. He has lived with 3 other cats and a dog before so can do well once he’s had time to warm up. He does well with kids (has lived with newborn-3year old) he does have his claws but we haven’t had issues with them (asides from some scratches on the couch arm). I’ve had him since he was a kitten (got from a family friends farm) and it is tough to let him go but I’m hoping someone has a little more space in their homes and their hearts for this sweet boy.

Story

I adopted Charli four years ago and totally fell in love with this little boy, we found out after the adoption that he was missing teeth, so he only has his top row and his fang's which gives him a silly little grin. He is a cuddle boy loves to be baby talked and play hide and seek he loves his Spinny ball with scratching pad or any balls that he can bat at and chase. He’s literally the perfect cat, and it breaks my heart that I can’t keep him. I’ve exhausted all my options and need somebody to give this guy a good home very soon as I have to relocate quickly. He is allergic to chicken so is on a duck and pea formula and can have tuna as well.
