February is our month at the Stop & Shop in Clinton!

When Herbie first came into the shelter, his safe spot was under the catio table, but you could tell he really wanted to meet the volunteers and get some love. He has left his safe spot now and is loving the attention and the treats you donated! 2 year old Herbie has moved to teddy bear status. Come visit with him Saturday and check out his fabulous feet- they are polydactyl! Estimated date of birth is 8/13/22.

Swirly has come a long way with the socializers! Volunteer Terry shows off how this sweet girl enjoys petting and the treats you donated! Swirly is now 7 years old, but when she came to the shelter a few years back, she would hang out in the catio and warn us with hisses and swats that she was not ready for our attention at all. Fortunately Swirly loved meat tubes and other treats and combined with lots of patience, the volunteers gained her trust. Now she is happy for the warm beds inside and waits for her special treats to be delivered. The soft hues of her coat and her gentle manner make it hard to resist petting her. Come visit with her Saturday in our Yellow Room!

Freddy & Jesse have become Blue Room buddies!!! Freddy (2 1/2 years old) arrived earlier this year and Jesse (1 1/2 years old) was rescued more recently. We are happy Jesse found a friend to help him get use to shelter life. Boys will be boys and you can find these two wrassling and having fun. Both are a little shy with people, but with patience in the right home, they should make great strides. Don't they make a magnificent monochromatic pair?

We are so glad Volunteer June K caught new boy Giulio enjoying lap time with Volunteer John! Giulio is a 3 years old sweet, gentle guy with gorgeous gray long fur. Just look at his tail! He certainly looks like he could withstand the cold spell that is upon us with that fur coat, but he would prefer a warm lap to snuggle on or a cozy bed by the window to watch the snow fly by! Cme by Saturday and meet Giulio! Estimated date of birth is 11/25/22.

Zoreo is another new guy who resides in our Green Room! He is a super sweet and soft 1-year-old with lovely black markings on his pristine white coat. Zoreo was with a family as a kitten, but when they moved with the family dog, he was left behind, and we were asked to take him in. Mild-mannered and oh so gentle, this handsome fellow would be a wonderful companion. Meet him Saturday!

Bruno, arrived at the shelter with his 5 year old mom Clementine. He was just brought back into the shelter to our kitten room after spending a few weeks being socialized at a foster home . He of course is a bit frightened finding himself in a large room full of playful pals, but our volunteers have been engaging him in play to coax him to join in on the fun. At his foster home he purred with contentment when feeling safe in a bed and he adored playing with his toys and partaking in treats. The silly boy still hisses when you first say hello, reminding you that he is still figuring out his new situation. He would love to be adopted with one of our other kittens to play with as he has been on his own for awhile. Estimated date of birth is 4/16/25.

Dylan has had more time to settle in as this video was taken earlier and the volunteers tell us he is now accepting pets like a champ helped out with his love of squeeze up treats!. He just celebrated his 2nd birthday and our wonderful socializers are working with him to get him more comfortable with us, but it doesn't look like it will take long at all. Estimated date of birth is 12/10/22.

These two Peach Room pals are the sweetest pair! Wolfie & Gucci did not come to the shelter knowing each other, but became fast friends quickly and are inseparable. They both are gentle, mild-mannered boys and are somewhat shy. Wolfie is 1 1/2 years old and has short plush fur speckled with white. Gucci is 2 years old and looks like Wolfie's mirror image if not for his longer hair. These best buds are looking for a home together with a comfy spot where they can hang out and watch the birds and critters outside while they snuggle. Come by and visit with them and all of their catio chums on Saturday! Gucci's estimated date of birth is 11/25/22 and Wolfie's is 9/24/23.

Eloise arrived last year very shy and scared and would hiss if you came close to her. Given time and using the meat tube treats you donate, our volunteers have made great progress with her! Even without enticement I was pleased that she accepted my petting and perhaps even enjoyed it! Gentle and mild-mannered, this sweet girl loves to sun her self on the Blue Room catio shelves and play with wand toys with the volunteers. This gorgeous girl would flourish in a patient home. Come meet her Saturday. Estimated date of birth: 7/20/21.

New boy Sterling is a 2 year old gray plushie guy with amazing green eyes. HIs people could not care for him anymore and Sterling is trying to adjust to his new situation at the shelter. You can hear him before you see him and then he pops right out of his hidey hole on the catio shelf when there is someone to listen to him and give him the love he craves. He did not mind being scooped up while I tried to take a selfie of us (fail) and followed me when I came back inside learning how to use the cat door and he is a lap loving guy. If you are looking for a devoted fella who loves to chat about his day, come visit Saturday with this gorgeous guy!

We rescued this sweet stray after her kittens were picked up by another group and Gidget was left on the streets. Gidget just turned 5 years old and is looking for a quiet home where she can feel safe, warm and loved. At the shelter she likes to burrow under the protection of blankets now that it is cold, but as this video from volunteer Terry shows, Gidget is very gentle and accepting of attention if you seek her out. This mama has been through so much fending for herself and her babies, and now is looking for a family to take care of her. Please come visit with her in our Peach Room. Estimated date of birth is 1/9/20.

Our new girl in our Blue Room is Snickers! I hear that she is a door dasher, and loves to explore the shelter hallways checking to make sure the volunteers are doing their kitchen chores! Snickers is 8 years old and don't you just love her face markings? She has an orange tiger hidden under her darker coat. Snickers loves to play too and is ready to find her people.

Today is a wonderfully whiskery day to introduce you to Nahla! The socializers have all been talking about this delightful dilute tortoiseshell darling! Nahla has been for us for awhile and it was hard to go near her as she warned you with hisses that your company at that time was not welcomed! Fast forward to today and Nahla not only accepts pets from her favorite volunteer friends, but she is purring and enjoying it! Nahla also loves treats and will lick meat tubes from your finger if offered! (BTW- we need more meat tubes and treats if anyone is considering a donation for our kitties!). I love this fabulous photo from volunteer June G showing off her beautiful coat and adorable face. This shy sweetie would need a patient and quiet home to continue to blossom, but look how far she has come! Estimated date of birth is 5/10/20.

Look who I found in our Yellow Room catio! This fabulously floofy fella was loving the coolness of the concrete floor, rolling himself all around with feet in the air and then jumping up for pets. He posed himself properly with paws crossed while waiting for someone to notice him. At the moment he seems a bit agitated by the presence of roommates and it could be likely this 3 1/2 year old guy might be happiest as the king of his castle. Gizmo has two beautiful spots on his back along with a black tail (check out the video). Come meet him Saturday!! He will be waiting for you! Estimated date of birth is 9/20/21.
