He was brought to a local veterinarian by someone who apparently found him and thought he needed to be humanely euthanized.

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.

Bonus...he's quite the entertainer. Once he's worn himself out, his second favorite activity is finding a warm lap where he can curl up and drift off to sleep.

HI! Hi hi hi! It's me, Wilfie!
Did you hear me? Everybody usually hears me!I'm a gray and tan tabby, six months old and full of things to say. Some people call it talking. I call it communicating. When I say "Hi!", I mean hi. When I say "Mrrrow!" around dinnertime, I mean it's time to eat, right now, please and thank you. I'm not hard to figure out!
My sister Winnie and I started out on a farm in rural Tennessee. At eight weeks old, we came to our first home together, and we've been indoor adventurers ever since. And adventures are my specialty.
Got a box? I'm in it. A tunnel? I'll zoom through it ten times.

Hello there, friend. I'm Winnie. Please excuse me if I peek at you from behind the couch first. That's just how I say hello.
I'm a gray and silver tabby, six months old, with stripes that shimmer a little when the sunlight finds them. My brother Wilfie and I were born on a farm in the rolling hills of rural Tennessee. When we were just eight weeks old, we rode off to our very first home together. We've been indoor kitties ever since, and I think the indoors suits me just fine.
I'm a quiet girl, but I notice everything: the flutter of a curtain, the crinkle of a new bag, the way the light moves across the floor in the afternoon.

Hi, I'm Ernest (aka Ernie)!I'm a handsome, sleek, three-month-old Bombay baby, and I've got a confession to make: I used to be the shy one. But not anymore.There was a time when the world felt pretty big to me. New sounds, new faces, new places — it was a lot, and I used to get scared more easily than I wish I had. But I worked at it, little by little, every single day, until one day I realized something: I wasn't scared anymore. I was just having fun.Now? I'm a playful, happy little troublemaker, and I regret nothing. I chase things. I pounce on things. I get into all kinds of harmless mischief, and I love every second of it.

Hi I'm Cecil!
I've got a brother named Ernest, and we're about three months old. He's my other half, honestly — where I go, he goes, and that's just how it's always been.
We're black Bombay kittens, sleek and shiny like little panthers, and if you ask me, I think we're pretty darn handsome. But looks aren't even the best part about us — the best part is that we're kittens through and through. We want adventure. We want mischief. Basically, we're ready to cause a little chaos and a lot of joy.
I'm an outgoing little boy, and I'll march right up to you, headbutt your hand until you pet me, and turn into a full-blown cuddle bug the second you sit down. I don't really believe in strangers — just friends I haven't head-bonked yet.
And Ernest? He's just as cute as I am. He used to be a little more cautious, but that boy is coming out of his shell and is getting it all figured out with me.
Here's the thing you really need to know about us, though: we can't be split up. If I wander somewhere Ernest can't see me, he lets me know about it — loudly. And the second he does, I come running — every single time. We're a team, through and through, and we're a lot more fun that way too.
Our mama was a sweet semi-feral calico named Cordelia. She started hanging around a family's home, and they took care of her the best they could — until one day she showed up expecting kittens. That's how Ernest and I came into the world, and into rescue. But here's the happy part: Cordelia gets her own happy ending too. She chose that home, and now she gets to stay there for good.
As for me and Ernest? We're still looking for our forever people. Two bold, confident troublemakers, ready to fill your home with purrs, chaos, and cuddles — completely ready to steal your heart (and probably your favorite pen too).
If you've got room for double the trouble and double the love, I'm ready when you are.
Love,Cecil & Ernest

URGENT!!!
Hi, I'm Mr. Kitty.
My story didn't start out easy. I was found as a tiny kitten, all alone, with no one to look after me. I wasn't healthy, and for a while it looked like I might even lose an eye. It was a scary way to begin.
But then some wonderful people gave me a chance. With their care and the help of a great vet, I made it through. I'm in perfect health now — both eyes, a strong body, and a heart that never stopped hoping for something good.The family who saved me loved me well, and my dad has taken such good care of me. But now he's the one who needs care. He has a heart transplant coming up soon, and he's scared and worried — not just for himself, but for me too.

Hi everyone, this is Raj!
Raj is a regal, sleek, polydactyl cat, who loves nothing more than a scratch under the chin and a toy to play with. She is incredible pest control, and she loves catching every bug that might enter her domain. She is vocal and isn’t afraid to speak her mind! Although she uses her voice to ask for pets, she is independent and doesn’t yowl for attention or late at night. She has befriended a dog in her home, and would do well in a home with either dogs or other cats.

Meet Aries!
Aries is known for being the bravest of the zodiacs, and this kitten certainly lives up to her name! She is the first to walk into a new situation with curiosity. She’s spunky, outgoing, loves being pet, snuggling up on a lap for nap time, is playful, and has the cutest meow you ever did hear. She would do great in a home with children and other pets. She also is great at pest control, and has freed her foster mom’s house of any bugs that sneak through the crack under the door.
