3. Pearl

Young · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 23 mi from Stamford

Name: PearlAge: about 5 years old*Adoption Fee: $200Meet Pearl, a sweet and charming girl with a story that deserves a happy ending. When her previous owners moved away, they sadly left her behind in their apartment building to fend for herself. Although they left her behind, they did leave her wearing a pretty pearl collar, which inspired us to give her the name Pearl. Now, she is safe, loved, and ready to find someone who will never leave her behind again. Pearl has been an absolute pleasure to have around! She is a loving, affectionate girl who enjoys all the little things that make a cat happy.

Read more about Pearl

She adores head rubbies, ear rubbies, catnip, and giving sweet little head butts to show you just how much she likes you. She is also quite the talker and loves to share her thoughts with you, so you'll never have to wonder what's on her mind! Pearl has a few preferences that make her personality even more endearing. She loves her special chair and firmly believes it belongs to her and her alone! Try to sit in it, and she'll be sure to let you know that you've made a terrible mistake. She also loves affection, but belly rubs are definitely not on her list of favorite things. And while she enjoys being close to her people and sharing love, she's not much of a lap cat. She's more of a "I'll sit near you, give you head butts, and accept all the attention I want, thank you very much!" kind of girl.After being left behind by the people she depended on, Pearl deserves a forever home where she will always feel safe, cherished, and wanted. She has so much love to give and a wonderful personality to share with someone special. If you're looking for a sweet, vocal, affectionate companion with a little sass and a whole lot of heart, Pearl may just be your girl. Pearl is ready for her next chapter — one filled with love, comfort, and a family who will always choose her.

He has the confidence, the attitude, and just enough questionable decision-making to qualify. Ziggy absolutely craves human affection and wants to be wherever his people are.

Give him time, let him come to you, and he’ll reward you with plenty of affection—and probably a little bit of panther-level mischief.If you're looking for a cat with personality, charm, a serious appreciation for humans, and just enough spicy orange-cat energy to keep life interesting, Ziggy might be your guy.

A resilient spirit: Meechy arrived at our rescue after overcoming severe malnutrition and significant dental disease.

Feeling better than ever: She successfully underwent dental surgery and has made an incredible transformation. Her face is no longer swollen, she is feeling so much better, and she looks years younger!

Meechy has overcome so much, and now she deserves to spend her golden years surrounded by comfort, love, and someone who will appreciate what a special girl she is.

25. The Halloween Trio

Young (2 years 2 months) · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 20 mi from Stamford

Meet Tabitha, Salem, and Sabrina, an extraordinary trio who have overcome a heartbreaking start and blossomed into three incredibly sweet and loving cats.

These siblings were rescued from a dire situation in the Bronx when they were older kittens. After their caretaker sadly passed away, they were left living in a dark, dirty basement with no one to care for them. We brought them to safety, and with lots of love, patience, and compassion from their foster family, they have completely transformed.

Read more about The Halloween Trio

Today, Tabitha, Salem, and Sabrina are happy, affectionate, playful, and wonderfully cuddly. They love basking in sunny spots, playing together, and curling up on the couch for cozy cuddle sessions.

They have come such a long way, and their bond with one another is incredibly special. We know that adopting three cats may seem like a lot, but these three depend on each other and have formed such a close-knit family that we simply cannot imagine separating them.

They deserve a forever home where they can continue to feel safe, loved, and cherished, with plenty of sunny windows, cozy couches, playtime, and affection to go around.

For the family willing to open their home to all three, the reward will be three times the purrs, three times the cuddles, and an extraordinary bond unlike any other.

26. Blizzy

Adult (4 years 2 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 20 mi from Stamford

Meet Blizzy! Blizzy is a handsome boy with a story that began on one of the coldest nights of the year. He was rescued during the NYC blizzard in February, after spending months wandering the neighborhood wearing an old, dirty, and torn collar.

The kind people who had been feeding Blizzy outside knew that the approaching blizzard was too dangerous for him to face alone, so they reached out for help. Thankfully, Blizzy was brought safely indoors and is now enjoying the comfort of a loving foster home.

Read more about Blizzy

Blizzy was already neutered when he was rescued, but sadly, no owner came forward to claim him. Whatever his past may have been, this sweet boy deserves a fresh start and a happily ever after of his own.

Now that Blizzy is safe inside, he is ready for a forever home where he can leave his days of wandering behind and enjoy the simple comforts of a warm bed, full meals, and someone to love.

Blizzy is healthy, vaccinated, and FIV and FeLV negative, and he is estimated to be approximately 5 years old.

After everything Blizzy has been through, he is finally safe. Now all he needs is a loving family to make him feel truly home.

Adopting a cat in Stamford

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.

Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
