Carrie

Imagine that you are 60 years old. Your family decides that they can’t keep you around any more and drops you off at a shelter…
That’s Carrie’s situation. She’s 11 years old. Is she bitter or angry? No. She’s one of the most affectionate cats at the shelter.

There’s a handy conversion chart here- how old is your cat?
UPDATE: Carrie has a new home!

Spots and Stripes

This is 6 month old Larisa who is at the shelter with her mom, Margarita.
I’ve been reading about cat markings, and she would be considered a patched tabby, maybe.
Tortie-tabby, torbie, caliby, dilute whatever… she’s a very cute cat!
You can read about markings here and get more confused too.

Two of the sweetest young girl cats at the shelter!
Katherine has been adopted- and Emily too!

Angel and Roxy

Catnap interrupted!
These two shy girls came to the shelter separately, but I sure hope they leave together.

Oreo

He is such a busy little cat- sometimes it seems like he’s everywhere at once.
But I have to admit that I had some fun using Photoshop in this photograph.
Oreo has been adopted!

Sunny Sunday Morning

It’s very cold outside here in Connecticut.
These shelter cats were sunbathing and playing on their new cat perch.

How can anyone resist this perfectly friendly, healthy, playful tabby boy?
Update: Someone couldn’t resist! Hank has a new home.
