2. ZzzzGypsyCourtesy
Senior (8 years 11 months) · Female · Calico / Mixed (short coat) · 14 mi from New Haven


A QUIET HOME NEEDED FOR A VERY SPECIAL GIRL
This sweet little calico is 9 years old, spayed, microchipped, up-to-date on vaccinations, and incredibly loving. ❤️
Sadly, her world has changed. She once shared her home happily with other cats, including an older kitty she was especially close to. One by one, her feline companions passed away from old age, and since losing her favorite friend, she has struggled.
There is also a small dog in the home, and although they are the same age, she is simply afraid of dogs. She now spends much of her time hiding away. Her family is keeping them separated, but they know that isn't the life this sweet girl deserves.
They want her to have the chance to thrive again, in a peaceful home where she doesn't have to live in fear.

She has previously loved living with other cats, so a calm feline companion may be just what she needs. A quiet, dog-free homewould be ideal.
Her family loves her tremendously, and this decision is breaking their hearts. They are willing to send her with everything to help make the transition easier: her bed, food, treats, catnip, litter, and soft-sided carrier.
Sometimes loving an animal means recognizing that the home they need may be different from the home we can give them. This little lady deserves sunny windows, cozy beds, gentle companionship, and the freedom to come out of hiding.
Interested in giving her that home?Please email Making Miracles Animal Rescue at mmarpaws@gmail.com and we will put you in touch with her family.
Please share. Her peaceful little retirement home might be waiting somewhere in your friends list. ❤️

3. Violet
Adult (3 years 11 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 14 mi from New Haven




Violet VanGogh is still looking for her forever home. She is about 4 years old, and came from a TNR project that in Roseville last year. She was thrown outdoors by her owners girlfriend, after the owner passed away.
She is such a fun and amazing cat. She’s very dog like when it comes to companionship and playfulness. She stares at you with such love in her eyes, it’s like she’s staring into your soul. Just an all-around amazing girl!
Read more about Violet
I feel she would do best in a home either as a solitary cat, or with a gentle buddy. It’s my understanding she lived with a dog before. I imagine with her personality, that could possibly be an option. I feel she would do best with older adults and children.
Her only caveat is she has a tendency to want to enter or exit a room before you do. Not always, but occasionally. Keeping this in mind before you enter and exit your home would be a requirement as I imagine it already is for any other pet that you might have.
I truthfully cannot say enough positive things about her. She is the best TV watching partner, bug catcher, confidant and listener, and unconditional love giver there is. And, you will get the bonus of seeing me ugly cry when she finally finds her forever home. But, they will be tears of joy for her.
Violet Van Gogh is up-to-date on all vaccines, spayed, and will be microchipped prior to adoption. Please share this post far and wide.

Young (1 year) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 36 mi from New Haven



This beautiful girl, Luna Grace, is approximately one year old and has the sweetest soul. She is incredibly friendly, loves people, and is always happy to make new human friends. No hiding when visitors come over - she welcomes everyone.
Luna Grace’s favorite place is curled up on someone's lap soaking up love and attention. She’s not particularly interested in running around playing with toys, she’d rather spend her time relaxing and enjoying your company.
Luna Grace wasn’t immediately comfortable meeting another cat so a home with other cats would require slow, patient introductions.

9. Noira
Kitten (7 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 36 mi from New Haven




Meet Noira, a charming young kitty dressed in a gorgeous, sleek black coat. She has plenty to say and loves being close to her people. If you leave the room—or leave her on her own—she may call out to let you know she’d much rather be with you!
Noira is especially people-focused and seems more interested in human companionship than in spending time with other cats. Her idea of the perfect evening is settling in for a cozy nap right on your chest, where she can be close and soak up all the affection. When she’s content and purring, she may even drool a little—one more sign that she’s completely relaxed.

10. Whisky
Young (2 years) · Male · Domestic Medium Hair (medium coat) · 36 mi from New Haven










Meet Whisky - He was found outside a kind woman's home, waiting at her door day after day, hoping to be let inside. It was clear he wanted a home of his own, and with winter approaching, we couldn't bear the thought of him spending another day outside. So we rescued him!
Read more about Whisky
With his gorgeous, unique markings, extra long whiskers and eye brows, (thus the name) one black nostril and what looks like black eyeliner that a rock star would wear, Whisky is tooooo cute! Check out the pictures! He wants to be where you are and will follow you any where. One adorable thing he does is he loves to stretch out and he's really long...and his tail is super long too. Underneath the handsome face is a sweet, special boy who just wants a home and to feel safe and loved.
Now in his foster home Whisky is discovering the joys of being a cat! He's learning to play with toys, and watching him figure it out is absolutely adorable. He especially loves being pet behind his ears and neck, and as he learns to trust you and feels safe, this handsome boy will become the ultimate lap cat.
Whisky is loving just how wonderful life indoors can be, and he deserves someone who will give him the kindness, and love he's been waiting for. Will you be his family and give this special boy his forever home?

12. Rayven
Adult (11 years 6 months) · Male · Domestic Medium Hair (medium coat) · 36 mi from New Haven






This lovely 11-1/2 year old boy is a total cuddle-bug. He was surrendered to us after his companion human passed away. He will let you know when he wants pets by head butting you and chirp-purring for attention.
He’s been an only cat for most of his life, and should be in a home where he is the sole pet. A quiet home with one or two adults would be ideal. He needs someone who can make his golden years loved and cared-for.

14. Kelly(must be adopted w/Konnie
Kitten (6 months) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Bombay / Mixed (short coat) · 36 mi from New Haven




Kelly and his sibling Konnie were rescued by a gentleman shortly after their mama was hit by a car leaving them orphans. He could not keep them, but he took them in out of the cold so they would be safe from harm until he could find a rescue to take them. After hearing their story and meeting them, we took them in and had them spay/neutered and vaccinated. Within 2-3 days these precious siblings showed their sweet, gentle and playful personalities. Suprisingly, Kelly is just a bit more shy than his sister, but with love and patience he will blossom. They enjoy their toys and are both purr machines when picked up. If you are ready for a purr-fect pair of good natured kittens, look no further. These two are ready made for any loving family.

Adopting a cat in New Haven
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.
