Maggie, 2 years old, Female
FEATURED FELINE
Maggie Needs a Home!
Maggie is a stunning 2-year-old tortoiseshell who’s been at the shelter far too long. She is in desperate need of a loving, supportive home where she can blossom into her true potential.
Maggie is beautiful, confident, and possesses just the right dash of sass. This lively girl has lots of energy and loves interactive play, especially wand toys with strings. Tunnels, blankets, and scratch posts are all part of her daily adventures, and her adorable chirpy voice lets you know just how happy she is. When playtime winds down, Maggie also enjoys affection and quiet moments where she can relax and observe the world around her.
Like many sensitive cats, however, the longer Maggie has been in the shelter, the harder it has been on her. With so much activity and so many people around her, she can sometimes feel a bit overwhelmed and frustrated. This has shown up as less interest in play and affection than she once had—but this isn’t Maggie’s true nature. It’s simply a sign that she’s longing for a quiet space to call her own. With patience, understanding, and a calm home, Maggie has every chance to relax, reset, and rediscover the loving personality that’s still very much hers.
Maggie adores her humans—but she prefers not to share the spotlight. She would thrive as the only cat, ruling her kingdom as the cherished queen she’s meant to be.
Maggie’s ideal human companion
- has cat experience
- is looking for a one cat house with a queen to adore
- can appreciate her playful and contemplative sides
- will be patient as she eases into her new surroundings.
If you’re looking for a companion who is affectionate, entertaining, and full of personality you just might be the perfect match for Maggie. Submit a foster or adoption application today! We would love to chat with you about Maggie! She is more than ready to charm her way straight into your heart - and her forever home.


Our big, beautiful boy, Alfred, came to us from one of our feeding stations about a year ago. He seemed to be an old, stiff street cat worn down by life outdoors, and with winter setting in, we brought him inside. But when our vet examined him, we learned he was much younger than he looked; it was only his injured, shattered paw and gimpy hip damaged in some unknown trauma that made Alfred seem so ancient.
One year later, Alfred has absolutely blossomed in foster care. This 4-year-old boy has healed well enough to be a happy and mellow purring machine craving attention and companionship. Pat the couch next to you; he’ll be by your side in a flash. Hold up a brush, and he’ll take the lead, rubbing his chin against it, almost grooming himself!
Like many former tomcats biologically forced to fight for territory and love, Alfred tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV). But Alfred will live a normal life if given the love and care all cats deserve. What's most important about our Alfred is he’s a big, handsome, and soulful boy looking for a family to cuddle with.

Like many former street cats, Alonso has tested positive for FIV. However, he is healthy and expected to live a normal lifespan with the same veterinary care any cat should receive.
This friendly guy is ready to move on to a forever home where he can soak up all the love and attention he deserves. Maybe yours? Start the introductions with Alonso by submitting our online adoption application


This gorgeous tabico (tabby with a little calico coloring) truly lives up to her name. Bella is bellissima—beautiful inside and out. She’s very playful, affectionate, curious, and gentle. She loves pets, ear and chin scratches, and belly rubs. While she can be a little shy at first, patience and kindness go a long way with Bella, and she blossoms as trust builds.
Bella would do best in a quiet home with an age- and energy-appropriate companion. If you’re looking for a sweet, beautiful kitten, Bella may be your perfect match. 💕 Please submit our online adoption application at: https://www.fofct.org/adoption-application. All adopters must live within 45 miles of Stamford, CT


Found outside Stamford Animal Control, Carina was likely abandoned — but this stunning black beauty hasn’t let that dim her spirit. About 2 years old, she’s confident, playful (she loves the laser pointer), and easy to handle. Once she feels safe, she’s incredibly affectionate, rubbing against your legs or climbing right into your lap.
Carina prefers to be the only cat and will need a little time to adjust to new surroundings — but with patience (and a few treats, since she’s very food motivated), she’ll reward you with love and loyalty.
Carina’s ready for a forever home where she’ll never be left behind again.

Easy to handle and wonderfully adaptable, Cheddar settled into his foster home in no time and cheerfully greets guests. When he’s not in the middle of the action with you, he can keep himself entertained, batting around mouse toys and pom-poms.
His only request? To be your one and only pet. His foster family loves him and wanted to keep him, but Cheddar could never accept the resident dogs.
If you’re looking for a devoted companion, Cheddar’s your guy.

According to her foster mom, Clara is as loving as they come. She thrives on affection and gently reminds you when she’s ready for more snuggles—rubbing against your hands, nuzzling your face, and ensuring she’s always close. You can carry her, smother her with kisses, stroke her from nose to tail—she loves it all, even belly rubs!
She is laid back; loud noises and unexpected movements don’t faze her.
Clara has one simple request: to be the queen of your heart and your home. Other cats? No, thank you! She much prefers to have all the attention to herself.
If you’re looking for a devoted companion who will adore you endlessly, Clara is your girl. She is estimated to be around 2 years old.
She’s ready to be someone’s beloved pet again—could it be you? If you’d like to meet her, please submit our online adoption application:


Now thriving, Darcy is intelligent, playful, and confident. She can hold her own with cats twice her size and loves a good play session. She also enjoys cuddling up for some people time.
Darcy gets along well with other cats. Like most young kittens, she will need a friend in her new home. So she should be adopted with another one of our kittens unless you already have an age- and energy-appropriate companion in your home for her.
If you’re looking for a kitten who is equal parts spunky and snuggly, Darcy is ready to steal your heart.

Heather seeks comfort from people—hold out your hand and she’ll lean in, quietly soaking up affection. Once she feels safe, she enjoys belly rubs and getting her luxurious, silky fur brushed.
Overwhelmed by the noise of boarding life, Heather would thrive in a calm, predictable home with patient humans who let her set the pace. She doesn’t appear to be a fan of other cats, so she would probably be happiest as the only cat. This tender girl will continue to blossom into a loving companion.

Respectful of routines and home life
Very food-motivated (treats are the way to his heart!)

Lilo is a uniquely spirited girl with lots of charm and main character energy in a tiny little body - with an adorable white-tipped artiste tail! Her routine with volunteers goes something like this: pets and cuddles… followed by lively play… then a cozy rest… and repeat. She is described as “a little riot,” “always a hoot,” “energetic,” “athletic,” and simply so much fun to be around. She brings joy to every moment, whether she’s snuggling in or showing off her playful moves.
Lilo will be happiest as the only pet in her home. She’s looking for adopters who have time to spend with her—people who enjoy an affectionate, interactive feline who loves being part of whatever you’re doing.
💛 If you’re looking for a kitten with personality, sweetness, and endless charm, Lilo could be your girl. To meet her, please submit the adoption application


This big, energetic boy loves his catnip, the laser pointer, and chasing wand toys. He’s a bright, confident cat and is learning to walk on a harness. Beneath the swagger, Lorenzo also has a sweet, affectionate side and can be an absolute lovebug. He’s still a young tomcat finding his rhythm after being recently rescued and neutered, but we think he’s entertaining and very charming.
If you’re looking for a striking, playful companion with loads of personality, Lorenzo’s your guy.
To meet Lorenzo, please submit our online adoption application


Maggie’s favorite activity? Wand toys! She’s a true acrobat, leaping mid-air with impressive agility, turning every play session into a fun-filled show. When she’s not chasing toys, Maggie enjoys head and chest rubs, and volunteers have even managed to sneak in a few kisses when she’s feeling extra affectionate. Her curiosity and confidence shine through as she explores new spaces and greets new people with ease.
While Maggie has no shortage of love for her humans, she’s not the biggest fan of sharing her space with other cats. She’d be happiest as the queen of her castle, soaking up all the attention in her forever home.
If you’re looking for a lively, affectionate, and entertaining companion, Maggie is ready to charm her way into your heart.

This confident and athletic girl thrives in an active environment. Mia’s favorite pastimes include chasing feather toys, racing up and down stairs, and leaping through the air like a professional acrobat. When she needs a break, she’ll quickly flop onto the floor to recharge before diving back into the fun. Mia’s foster mom describes her as "play hard, rest hard." Mia will be a happy, fulfilled cat with regular play and plenty of mental stimulation.
Mia would do best as the center of attention in her forever home. She may get along with younger, playful male cats willing to let her call the shots, but she’s not a fan of senior cats. She hasn’t been introduced to dogs or children, but her energy and love of attention suggest she could adapt well to a home with respectful kids who can help her stay active and entertained.
Mia’s playful quirks and unique personality make her truly one of a kind. From her cute “joker face” smile during pets to her adorable bowlegged “tough girl” walk, she’ll keep you smiling and laughing daily. If you’re looking for an energetic, social, and loving companion who will brighten your life, Mia might be your perfect match!

From his foster mom:
Pierre is a wonderful cat—very soft, incredibly affectionate, and always asking for pets. He LOVES cuddles and is the perfect TV-watching buddy. He also enjoys playing with the laser and batting balls around.
Pierre has one non-negotiable: he cannot live with other cats and must be the only feline in your home.
He’s perfect for someone who wants a cuddly, devoted companion who enjoys both playtime and snuggle time. He’ll follow you from room to room just to be near you.
Pierre is on a special urinary diet and will need to stay on it to keep him healthy, but he eats it happily.

Found alone as a tiny, sick, and injured kitten, Rascal spent his early months fighting to survive rather than learning to trust. His recovery took time, and while he got the medical care he needed, the lack of early socialization left him unsure about people. Still, he's made progress—especially lately. Volunteers who spend time with him report that he is curious and interactive, asks for pets, and enjoys playtime.
Like many cats stuck in a cage for too long, Rascal finds the confinement frustrating. He’s known to swipe and hiss when it's time to go back in—and honestly, we get it. It's likely his worst behavior is tied more to circumstance than character.
Rascal has feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), so his immune system is slightly compromised. However, he can live a full, happy life—even with other cats, as long as they get along. We can direct you to good independent resources to learn more about FIV.
We believe the shelter setting has stifled Rascal’s potential, and we’d love to see him in a calm, consistent foster or foster-to-adopt home where he can finally decompress and thrive. He needs an understanding cat person who will give him time, space, and gentle encouragement. In return, you’ll get the satisfaction of helping a once-forgotten, super handsome youngster grow into the confident cat he was always meant to be.
Looking for a rewarding rescue story? Rascal’s waiting for you.

He’s currently living in a boarding facility and would thrive in a patient home where he can settle in, decompress, and continue to blossom. Timothy is FIV-positive, but he is healthy and expected to live a normal lifespan with the same veterinary care any cat should receive.
Timothy has a charming presence and a calm demeanor that make him easy to be around.

This sweet boy’s favorite activities include snuggling into laps (and purring!), chasing the laser pointer, exploring tunnels, and indulging in a bit of catnip now and then. He’s food-motivated, which makes bonding and training extra fun.
He also enjoys being in the company of other cats. His play style is very physical, so a home with another playful cat that can match his energy would be ideal.
Like many kittens rescued at an older age, Woodstock may approach new people and situations with some caution. However, with a bit of patience, he adapts beautifully and reveals himself to be an incredibly lovable cat.
The ideal home for Woodstock would be relatively quiet, with a feline friend to keep him company. If you’re ready to provide a calm and loving environment, Woodstock will reward you with endless affection and playful antics.
Could Woodstock be the one for you💖? If you want to meet him, please submit the online application


This exquisite dark gray tabby enjoys lap time, hanging out with her foster mom, and soaking up pets. She’ll shyly approach when she wants affection but then melt into your touch. Xena is also a playful youngster, horsing around with her brother or playing with mouse toys independently. She’s also an avid birdwatcher, whether through the window or on YouTube.
Because Xena spent the first six months struggling to survive outdoors, she can be cautious with new people and situations. But once she adjusts to her new home, she will be a devoted and fun companion.
She must be adopted into a home with another cat for companionship and playtime. While she and her brother, Thor, would make a fantastic pair, they do not have to be adopted together.
This little princess is ready for a loving, patient home where she can continue to thrive. Does this sound like a good match for you? Submit an adoption application today
