MAY
May is a young female who once lived inside with a family. This past winter, her family left this pretty little girl outside in frigid temperatures; in a place where cats are unwelcome and feeding strays is not allowed.
She got through the winter; but when May gave birth to four kittens in the spring, she found the hostility of her human neighbors to be brutal. Taunted, stoned and drenched with water, May successfully hid her family until her growing kittens needed more nourishment. That’s when May got her first lucky break and met Pedro, who began sneaking food to the family, then asked FOF for help.
Thanks in part to the cooperation of Stamford Animal Care and Control, May and her kittens found safety, shelter and – when May was discovered to have a postpartum infection – the emergency medical care she needed.
Now, May comes out of her shell more and more each day and her foster home is thrilled. They say she is beautiful, playful, loves to be pet and when they rub her belly, she purrs!
May is a good and deserving young girl who is exceeding the hopes we had for her when we took her in by leaps and bounds. May is adoptable to a quiet and patient home. This smart kitty is way ahead of us!

LUNA (LOU)
This kitty's given name is Luna, but we call him Lou, because he is SUCH a guy! A very handsome, three-year-old tabby, Lou was given up by his family due to divorce and for 6 months, his world was in such turmoil, he was a very difficult and fractious kitty and FOF had no idea what to do to help him feel better. And then the clouds suddenly parted and this wonderful, emotional and sensitive kitty began touching his foster mom's face gently with his paw, hugging her neck, and gently purring. Now he is just quietly lonely and asking for more hugs.
The best thing to happen to this great and loving tabby is to have a home of his own, but he would also be happy to be fostered by a family who either has no other pets, or at least has a spare room to lend him, along with some time and attention to help him heal so he can get on with his life, which we expect will be wonderful. Might you be the one to give Lou the hand he needs?
