Kitten (3 months 28 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 20 mi from Stratford

The minute you pick her up...it's all purrs and snuggles! She enjoys napping on your lap and walks her foster mom to bed every night.

12. Bear Bear

Kitten (6 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 20 mi from Stratford

No, my foster mommy didn’t make a typo...my name is “Bear Bear”, not Bear! I am a sleek panther with my stunning black fur. I’m shy in the beginning until curiosity sets in.

I was found in Naugatuck with no mommy. Opal, Harvey’s mommy, took me under her wings and I thrived. It was difficult growing up with Harvey. He is bossy. Please don’t tell him.

I love playing with Harvey and my mommy. I can outrun and out-climb them. Playing king of the kitty tower is my favorite game. I am king of the jungle and no one gets the top but me. I love sleeping on the big bed. I will even allow you to sleep on the big bed.

I get along with other animals and even people. Please consider adopting me!

Adopting a kitten in Stratford

Kittens usually go to their new homes from about eight weeks old, once they're eating on their own and have had their first vaccinations. Most rescues spay or neuter them before adoption, or include it in the fee.

Think about adopting two. Kittens raised together play with each other instead of your ankles and furniture, and many rescues charge less for a pair.

Kittens need more of your time than grown cats: several small meals a day, plenty of play, and a home with cords and small objects tidied away.
