The doctor thought she could get him healthy again and asked the Stray Connection to sponsor his recovery and routine vetting. He is doing well now and is ready for a new home.

15. Sweet Pea
Adult · Female · Siamese (short coat) · 39 mi from Englewood




Hi, my name is Sweet Pea. I’m a 5-year-old seal-point Siamese who had a pretty rough life so far. My mom died and my dad didn’t want me any more. He put me outside and I was living under the porch where I got into a tussle with something. I’m not sure what, but it bit me on the shoulder and it really hurt. It got infected, which hurt even more. At least my dad took me to the vet, but he left me there. I think that was for the best because the vet’s office was so nice. Everyone there petted me and loved on me and called SARG to rescue me! Now I’m in foster care looking for my forever home.
Things you should know about me: I love making biscuits, rubbing up against my person, and I’m quick to purr.
Read more about Sweet Pea
But I’m a little shy with new people. I spend my days watching YouTube for cats! And my nights sleeping under the covers with my foster mom! It keeps me warm and makes me feel safe. But I do like to chase a string toy now and again, and I’ll do just about anything for a treat! My fur is super soft and the patches the doctor had to shave off to make me better are growing in nicely. I’m a little nervous with sudden movements and loud noises, so I would probably do best in a home without children or dogs. If you think you’re the right fit, fill out an application. I’d love to meet you.

20. Rory
Kitten · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 39 mi from Englewood



Rory is a beautiful female ginger kitten, about 5 months old as of August 15. She’s a little unusual—and very special—as female orange cats are less common than their male counterparts. Rory came from an outdoor cat colony, so she’s still learning that people can be trusted. She is comfortable and happy living in a home, but she isn’t ready yet for petting or being held. Instead, Rory prefers to show her affection in her own way and on her own terms.
What Rory does love is playtime! She enjoys chasing toys, watching the world go by from the screen porch, and having lively wrestling matches with her brother, Flynn.
Read more about Rory
She is an active, curious kitten who would thrive with someone who understands that socializing a shy or people-averse cat takes patience, consistency, and respect for her boundaries. Rory will need an adopter who is willing to let her set the pace as she continues to build confidence. She may never be a lap cat—and that’s okay! Her ideal person will appreciate her for who she is while giving her the time and security she needs to become the best version of Rory.
If you’re looking for a unique little ginger girl with plenty of personality and a playful spirit, Rory may be your girl.

Adopting a cat in Englewood
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.
