3. Nova

Adult · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 16 mi from McKinney

As cats go, Nova can brag that she's a little bit of everything. She's playful and curious, but she's also independent and easy-going at times. She's litter box trained and uses her scratching post, but she also enjoys being the center of attention.

Her favorite toy is all of them. Nova will spend hours playing, moving from one toy to another. Sometimes she'll play with people but sometimes she'll keep herself entertained. She'll squeeze in a quick nap when she's ready and then get back to the fun. She's also recently discovered the joy of sitting in a window and bird watching.

11. Jinx

Young · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 16 mi from McKinney

Meet Jinx, a one-year-old bundle of curiosity, energy, and affection! Jinx is currently staying in our "Cat Dorm," located inside a female juvenile detention center near Waco, where she provides comfort and companionship to the young women there while also enjoying the company of other cats.

Jinx originally came to us through our PASS program while her owner worked through a difficult season. When it became clear that returning home would not be possible, her owner made the incredibly hard and loving decision to surrender Jinx and her companion, Kiba, for adoption.

Read more about Jinx

Jinx is playful, smart, curious, and full of personality. She loves to explore, play, and keep herself entertained, but she is just as happy curling up for a cuddle when it's time to nap. She has that perfect mix of silly kitten energy and sweet, comforting companionship.

Jinx does not have to be adopted with Kiba, but if you fall in love with both of them, we would be happy to waive one adoption fee so the pair can go home together for $100 total.

If you're looking for a fun, loving cat who can make you laugh one minute and curl up beside you the next, Jinx may be your girl.

12. Kiba

Adult · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 16 mi from McKinney

Meet Kiba, a two-year-old laid-back gentleman with an independent streak and a very thoughtful little soul. He is generally quiet, observant, and low-energy, preferring cozy spots to nap and keeping a watchful eye on everything around him. He can be guarded at first and may take the long way around unfamiliar cats rather than engage, but he has never been aggressive. He is litter box trained, scratching post trained, and very good at communicating when he wants food, attention, or a little playtime.

Read more about Kiba

Kiba's favorite relationship is with his little sister, Jinx. She is the one cat who can reliably convince him to wrestle, play, and let his guard down, and their bond is incredibly sweet to watch. He tolerates other cats but would do best with space to retreat and decompress. He has not been exposed to dogs or children. With people, Kiba is affectionate on his own terms and prefers to come to you rather than be picked up or fussed over. He may never be a velcro cat, but he would likely enjoy having one or two people he can quietly claim as his own.

Kiba and Jinx originally came to us through our PASS program while their owner was working to get back on their feet. Their owner ultimately made the difficult decision to surrender them both so they could find loving permanent homes. They do not have to be adopted together, but Kiba would absolutely love to stay with Jinx, and if you are interested in bringing home both siblings, we would be happy to waive one adoption fee, making the total adoption fee for both cats $100. Independent, observant, sweet, and very particular about his preferences... a true Virgo.

22. Frankie

Adult (4 years 5 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Siamese / Mixed (short coat) · 13 mi from McKinney

Meet Frankie. She may have a little to say when you visit—and a lot of love to give.

Name: Frankie: (Domestic Shorthair, Seal Lynx Point Siamese Mix)
DOB: March 31, 2022 (4 ½ years old)
Health: Spayed, Rabies and FVRCP current, FeLV/FIV negative, microchipped

Personality: Affectionate and Calm, with Plenty to Say

System number: T-ECH3R2-22

A Little Backstory:

Read more about Frankie

Frankie and her bonded sister, Diva, were adopted from Cat Matchers as kittens and spent almost four years with their owner. In April 2026, their owner lost her home and faced significant financial difficulties, and the sisters were returned through no fault of their own. Frankie needed time to adjust, but with patience, her loving personality came through.

Personality:

Frankie is a gentle, affectionate cat who enjoys being close to her people. Once she knows you, she may greet you at the door, ready for attention. She can be talkative when she has something to say or thinks her request for pets has been overlooked, although she has become quieter as she’s settled into the adoption room. Frankie occasionally shows off her playful, mischievous side, too. She prefers affection on her own four paws and will tolerate being picked up only briefly.

Her View on Life:
The people you love are worth greeting at the door. If they forget the pets, it’s okay to remind them. And wherever life takes you, it’s better with your sister beside you.

Perfect Home:
Frankie and Diva are looking for a calm, patient home where they can remain together. They have been around children as young as seven and have tolerated younger cats, but they prefer a peaceful setting. Their new family should give them time to adjust and let Frankie choose when she wants affection.

Frankie and Diva are currently staying in the adoption room at The Cat Connection. Meeting them there gives these bonded girls a chance to get to know potential adopters in a place where they feel safe. Contact Cat Matchers to learn more about adopting them together.

Health: Spayed, Rabies and FVRCP current, FeLV/FIV negative, microchipped

Personality: Affectionate and Calm with an Independent Streak

System Number: T-ECH5R-22

A Little Backstory:

Diva and her bonded sister, Frankie, were adopted from Cat Matchers as kittens and lived with their owner for almost four years. In April 2026, their owner lost her home and experienced serious financial hardship, forcing her to return the girls through no fault of their own.

Read more about Diva

Although losing the only home she had known was a difficult adjustment, Diva soon realized she was safe and began settling into her new surroundings.

Personality:

Diva is a sweet, peaceful girl with an independent streak. She enjoys gentle cuddles and pets, makes excellent biscuits, and is happiest when she has a comfortable bed, a high perch, or a window where she can watch the world. Her foster mom and the staff at The Cat Connection have even caught her playing when she thinks no one is watching!

Diva may be slightly more independent than Frankie, but she shares a close bond with her sister. The girls are currently staying together in the adoption room at The Cat Connection, where they can meet potential adopters in an environment that feels safe and familiar.

Her View on Life:
Life is best enjoyed from a sunny window or a soft bed, with your sister nearby and someone you trust available for cuddles. Take things at your own pace—and make plenty of biscuits along the way.

Perfect Home:
Diva and Frankie are looking for a calm, patient home where they can remain together and be given time to adjust. They have been around respectful children as young as seven and did well, but they prefer a quieter household. They have also tolerated younger cats, although they were not especially thrilled by their energy.

After losing the home they thought would be theirs forever, Diva and Frankie deserve a family who will make them feel safe, cherished, and home for good.

27. Brownie.

Adult (4 years 4 months) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 13 mi from McKinney

For several days, Brownie stood on an apartment balcony and cried for help.

This beautiful and resilient 4-year-old boy had been surviving on the streets, but he seemed to understand that he was too sick to get better on his own. He was hungry, thirsty, and suffering from infected wounds on his neck and ears. Thankfully, a kind family listened to his cries, took him in as a foster, and gave him the chance he had been asking for.

Read more about Brownie.

With help from Cat Matchers, Brownie received treatment for his respiratory illness and wounds. He also underwent dental care to remove several painful teeth. During his treatment, we learned that Brownie is FIV positive—but that diagnosis does not change the loving cat he is or how deserving he is of a forever home.

Brownie is calm, gentle, and incredibly affectionate. He is a true lap cat who loves being close to his person and would happily sleep beside you at night. He enjoys children, warm patches of sunshine, and occasionally sharing his thoughts with a well-timed meow.

Although Brownie loves affection, he also has an independent side. He does not need to be on top of you every minute and is perfectly content while you are at work—but he will be very happy when you come home.

Brownie can be shy at first, but it does not take long for his sweet personality to appear. He would be happiest as the only pet, where he would not have to share his favorite person’s attention. After everything he has survived, can you really blame him for wanting all the love for himself?

Please give Brownie a second glance. Behind that handsome black coat is a brave, loving boy who once cried for someone to save him. Now he is waiting for someone to choose him.

Brownie is ideal for anyone. He is FIV+.

Why adopt an adult cat in McKinney

An adult cat's personality is fully formed, so the rescue can tell you how they are with people, other pets and busy households. Many have lived in foster homes and are used to family life.

Grown cats are calmer and need less supervision than kittens, which suits people who work long hours or have young children.
