Meet Quincy Jones & Billie Jean — Double the Love, Double the Fun!

Quincy Jones is our confident little explorer! Outgoing, curious, and always ready to discover a new game, this sweet boy has a way of making everyone fall completely in love with him. Give him a toy, a little attention, and some yummy treats, and Quincy is ready to entertain!

Read more about Billie Jean

Billie Jean is his slightly more cautious sister. She may take a little time to warm up, but she’s gaining confidence every day—and having her big brother by her side helps her feel brave enough to explore the world. Once she knows she’s safe, her sweet personality shines through.

Together, these two are a purr-fect duet! They’re playful, affectionate, curious, and VERY food-motivated. Because they’re bonded, they’ll need to be adopted together into a loving home where they can continue building trust and confidence side by side.

Billie Jean was born around April 27, 2026, and is currently being fostered in Bridgeport. She is fixed, up-to-date on shots, and has tested negative for FIV/FeLV.

All of our cats and kittens are cared for in loving foster homes. "Meet and Greets" can be arranged only after an application has been submitted and approved.

Caring for a long-haired cat

Long coats need regular grooming: brushing a few times a week, and every day when they shed in spring, stops knots and mats from forming and cuts down on hairballs.

Get them used to it gently, with short sessions and a treat afterward. A wide-toothed comb and a soft slicker brush handle most coats.
