Friends of Felines

CICI

Meet Cici! She's not in jail but she is boarding with our vet and she'd love to get out of there.

When the first call came in to FOF to help Cici, we were told she was a young, pregnant female (and she couldn't stay there). Then we were told she was a malnourished cat (and she couldn't stay there). Then we were told she MIGHT be able to stay there so she was tied up in a backyard to keep her from wandering (a true story)

To our great surprise, Cici was NOT pregnant or malnorished, but an eight week old, tiny, tied-up kitten and now this forgiving, trusting, sweet-natured love-bug, is more than ready to be sprung from her cage to a real home with a real family!

KENDRA

Kendra was found wandering alone on a busy street and was fortunate enough to be taken in by a kind woman. Only about a year old, Kendra badly needed food and comfort first, then a visit to a vet.

This unusual tabby girl has a nasal cleft, which only makes her look a little different (but still adorable) and does not impair her in any way. A happy, sweet and quick-to-purr kitty who has no idea she's a little different, Kendra's just a little girl with lots to give, a story to tell, and a long life ahead of her.

She's aching to share her life with someone as special as we know she is. For love and affection, good manners and smarts, this little cat gets an A+!

LEONARDO

Leonardo is a Snowshoe! He is a regal and handsome young guy with amazing good looks and an outstanding personality.

Snowshoes are a rare breed well known for sturdy good looks, intelligence and a friendly demeanor. They are as vocal as a Siamese but with a much softer voice.

This blue-eyed wonder is as playful and silly as any young male, blissfully rolling on his back and begging you to play, or for affection...or maybe for a home?

JOEY & BOBBY

An easy pair to fall in love with, these boys have as much personality as good looks! Joey (orange and white) and Bobby (with the gorgeous eyes) are happy-go-lucky, funny and affectionate.

An irresistible mix of boy-energy and gentleness, Joey and Bobby love to wrestle together and chase after feathers and balls. Then, if you want to get their attention, just touch one - the purr engines start up, they flop over on their sides, and happily take a break for loving!

SWEETIE (AND HER KITTENS)

Meet Sweetie, a beautiful, brave and smart tabby with white chest and feet, and now a very proud mom! She was named Sweetie for her sweet and soulful expression.

Life hadn't been easy for Sweetie, who once lived on her own in the worst of both worlds - a heavily wooded area bordered by a busy road! Harsh weather, scarce food, speeding cars and coyotes, and giving birth to kittens she nursed and cared for, only to helplessly watch as one by one each died by car or by predator - Sweetie's life was certainly grim.

A dedicated volunteer was providing food for her and when Sweetie was hugely pregnant again, we were able to trap and bring her in for care. We hope she was pleasantly surprised to find herself giving birth to five beautiful, healthy kittens in a hospital, where she now has a double suite, clean bedding, and all the good food she deserves.

Sweetie is happy and healthy. She has tested negative for FIV and leukemia and our hope is she will close this chapter of her life with a loving forever home.

Sweetie's kittens are a mix of tortoise shell-tabbies, calico and one black and white and they are all beautiful. They will be ready for adoption around September 6, when they are 8 weeks of age but please put in your application early!

WILL & RICH

Not quite "special needs", Will is a bit tilted to one side at times and might brush a wall or two, but mostly he navigates beautifully, has impeccable house manners, and LOVES to be picked up and hugged.

As always, kitties like Will are especially affectionate! We don't expect Will to have a career in operating heavy equipment, but we do expect he will make someone very, very happy. Will just needs to love and be loved.

A cutie-pie with a special, white-tipped tail, and sleepy I-Love-You eyes, this adorable and affectionate youngster would like nothing more than to find a home with his extraordinarily handsome and athletic brother Rich, who is perfectly normal, but interestingly, seems to need his brother more than his brother needs him! A ready made pair who love to roll around together, come when they're called, are fearless and happy-go-lucky by nature and just a delight to be around!

ALLIE

A Cinderella of sorts, Allie had a bit of a rough start, but this gorgeously marked calico youngster could have been named Serendipity, her life took so many right turns.

A kindness here, a kindness there, a coincidence or two...and here she is. Instead of living on the streets with kittens, she's now a very clean, healthy and happy young lady ready for a home of her own.

Affectionate, beautiful, young - Allie would prefer to be an only cat, so if you can just stop at one, or have no choice in the matter, she just might be the princess you've been waiting for.

MIKEY & CASEY

Gregarious, easy and fun loving boys, Mikey (all black), and Casey (black and white tuxedo), are adorable and goofy kittens sure to make you smile!

Once living on the outside looking in, FOF got lucky and we have them now. Lovingly cared for and brought along in a foster home, they're good with gentle dogs and children, and have so much to offer.

Mikey and Casey have a sense of humor, acrobatics, charm and affection. Now they're looking for a real family to love and show off to.

CALLIE

A gently colored, young adult calico, Callie had been abandoned and forced to live outside in the worst circumstances imaginable. Her only refuge and source of food was a yard filled with broken glass and a half collapsed shed.

It was here she brought her kittens to; crossing a busy street in downtown Stamford to bring her young family to eat. What was different about Callie, is we could pick her up and give her a hug, in the middle of all this, and she'd purr.

Callie's last litter of kittens left her much too thin and tired, even at her young age. Once we trapped her kittens, we coaxed Callie into a trap and we are happy to say, she now belongs to FOF!

A sweetie whose picture does not do her justice, this brave kitty is so happy to be inside and cared for. She is now spayed and vaccinated and gets along with other cats very well and will someday be the right cat for some special home - she is waiting patiently.

MAGIC & DELILAH

Meet Magic (black) and Delilah (tortie), two silly and playful sisters who love tumbling and cuddling with each other, hunting toy mice together, and hugging their foster mom.

Magic and Delilah are ready made pair and a bundle of love. These happy and relaxed girls are used to travel, large, gentle dogs, and children. They are just waiting for a home to call their own.

CHRISIE

A special kitten to us, Chrisie was only two weeks old when she found her way to FOF. She was needing a bottle of kitten formula, sneezing a bit, and just plain confused.

Chrisie proved to be a smart and sturdy little ball of fluff. She quickly caught on to the idea of a human mom, stopped sneezing, and is now confident and strong.

We think she's really cute! She growls whenever anything is in her mouth - a bottlecap, a piece of paper, a ball - all things important to a kitten! But you can't take her rumbling seriously because she is so tiny, gentle and funny.

Best friends with Flo, the girls now romp together, play-fight, cuddle and have an outrageous curiosity for everything and anything that comes their way.

SYLVIA, KOA, & LILO

Sylvia, Koa and Lilo (from left to right in photo) were born on the outside to an abandoned mom, and their lives were heading in a sad direction. Things changed when they were suddenly scooped up by a FOF volunteer, who nurtured and cared for them until they were practically purr-fect!.

Now these beautiful kittens are healthy and happy, adorably affectionate and funny, too. Sylvia, Koa and Lilo are each ready and waiting to go on to a forever, loving home.

CHLOE

Meet Chloe, an impossibly adorable "tiny tiger" with large green eyes, a soft coat and a mischievous personality! Taken away from her family at a very young age, this kitten came to us as a youngster who was friendly with people but had no idea what to do with another kitten - but she's learning to share toys and food, and collapse with all the other FOF kittens in her foster home in one big pile for a nap.

Still friendly and affectionate with humans, she "plays well with others (kitties)", too!

LUNA

Luna has had quite a journey. She went from a North Carolina shelter to a local caretaker. The caretaker was not ready for the responsibility of a pregnant cat and kittens, so Luna went to a foster home.

Luna is a gentle girl who craves brushings and head-to-toe pet sessions. She's a petite young lady with a very pretty face and markings. Luna is currently being fostered with calm dogs and other cats and is comfortable in their company.

Ready to stop moving around, Luna is looking for her forever home.

LILY

Meet Lily, a beautiful, gray tabby female kitten who is well socialized with people as well as other cats and is affectionate, playful and drop- dead gorgeous.

Lily has a brown tabby sister named Misty with the same good looks but she's a little more sensitive and sweet - a yin and yang, perfectly balanced, ready made pair! Both are at PetSmart in Stamford and are looking for an excellent new home, together.

MISTY

This is Misty, Lilly's brown tabby sister. Misty has the same good looks as Lilly, but she's a little more sensitive and sweet. They are yin and yang, a perfectly balanced, ready made pair!

They are looking to stay together in their own forever home. Both girls are at PetSmart in Stamford and would love a visit.

FLO

Meet Flo, a pretty, dilute calico kitten with beautiful green eyes, white paws and belly, and patches of soft gray and peach.

Sweet, affectionate and well mannered, but playful all the same, this purr-happy little girl is looking for a home to call her own.

PEPPER

Meet Pepper - a spicy, funny, spunky, charming, and not even-a-year- old kitty. He loves other male cats, is quite adorable and affectionate.

Pepper's searching desperately for both a brother to play with, and a family to call his own. Come meet Pepper at PetSmart in Stamford - you will not be disappointed!

CHARLIE

My new name is Charlie and I'm a good looking, orange tabby youngster under two years of age. Most of my life I've been searching for a home with a human who would be happy to offer a lap or a shoulder, give me a hug and share a warm bed with me.

Now that I've found that, I am so happy, but this is only a temporary home and I will be needing a real home very soon. If you would like to snuggle with me, let me know! I'm a good and well behaved cat and would make an excellent and loyal, affectionate companion.

MARK

Hi, my name is Mark and I'm told I'm an extraordinarily handsome, six-year-old tabby with a sparkling clean white chest and feet - and would you expect anything less?

I am curious about my surroundings and love people who love me. I had a home once with a family who could not care for me, so a person who's adopted other kitties from FOF took me in, hoping to make me a permanent part of their family, but alas, their resident cats did not like me one bit - I'm sure they were jealous.

So, I am looking for a home either with another cat whose tail won't twitch by my good looks, or as the one and only lap cat extraordinaire. Adopt me! I want a chance to be who I was meant to be.

DOMINO

A happy and handsome young male, Domino's obviously named for his striking black-on-white markings, and his round, bottle green eyes and teddy bear build make him a completely adorable cat.

Not so long ago, Domino's home was a shed, his meals were scraps and his playground was covered in broken glass, but not anymore! A little shy with strangers, Domino's laid back personality and curious nature will soon win out - and win you over. He's good with other cats and great with a ping pong ball!

WHITLEY

When a kind person heard clattering in his garage, he expected to find a raccoon. What he discovered was a white cat so thin, his bones were clearly visible. The cat devoured his first meal and sweetly meowed for more. It was obvious that Whitley was someone's cat as he was extremely friendly and already neutered. Flyers and ads were posted, searching for his owners but no one replied.

Whitely is laid back, intelligent and very friendly. He'll roll over for attention the minute you see him. After a vet workup, results showed that he is mildly hyperthyroid. A pill, placed in his meal two times daily, is all he needs to stay healthy. Whitely is about six years old. He would be happy to live with other cats and dogs or be your one and only.

Whitely deserves a loving, forever home.

MARTY

Marty is a handsome, all-gray cuddlebug who will turn somersaults for a scratch on the head. We think Marty is about three years old. He's a cutie, a gentle and kind boy who was abandoned and left to live on his own outside - an experience he didn't care for much!

Marty's a bit uncomfortable about being held for long periods of time. For now, he flinches just a tiny bit when a hand is extended to him; but mostly, he will purr, knead and tip right over for a pat and a kind word, then press happily against you for comfort and companionship.

A purr-fect couch buddy to watch football with, or to cuddle beneath bed covers, Marty's a cat who is so very deserving of a good home and someone to love him.

AMANDA

An extaordinarily beautiful kitten, Amanda is an all black, compact, really smart girl with a beautiful, apple-shaped face.

A funny kitty who growls when eating something she loves or when hunting bugs, but pick her up and she purrs, non-stop. She may not share her food with you but she's willing to give you everything else!

SOX & SAM

Two handsome tuxedo brothers desperately searching for a permanent home, Sox and Sam may have had a few bumps in their young lives but they've never let go of their positive outlook - and they've always had each other.

A ready-made pair with purr-fect cat manners, these two big guys are affectionate, gentle and absolutely, delightfully hug-able!

BERT

A totally beautiful, cheerful, all-gray youngster, Bert is a lovable goofball. Call his name and not only does he come, he tells you he's arrived with a quiet "Ow" and an inquisitive tilt of his head.

He chatters happily at birds he sees out the window, and is excited to share that experience with you, pressing his face against yours, expecting you to chatter along with him.

A purr-machine without a stop button, Bert loves to cuddle and share everything but his food, which he still thinks will go away if he takes his head out of his bowl.

Bert has a slight neurological quirk - possibly caused by a trauma to his head - that keeps his left eye from closing. Blink at Bert, and he winks back with one eye! All Bert needs is a drop or two of drugstore "artificial tears" a day to make him right. You will never meet a cat who is so easy medicate - he seems to think you are picking him up to hug him, so he just purrs then runs off to play!

Bert is one of our favorites, looking for a home bursting with the same love and optimism he has.

BOB

They used to call me Bobcat because I hissed and lunged and spit whenever anyone came near me. But now I'm so relaxed, and a little silly, and they just call me Bob.

I like singing in the mornings, getting my head scratched, and lying around upside down or sideways, which gives me a unique perspective on the world!

I have excellent house manners, and even when I do get carried away - like chasing another cat - I listen very well when quietly asked to stop because I really want to be good!

I'm a 4-yr-old, healthy, neutered male, and I'm terribly, terribly cute! Please make me part of your home, please?

STEINWAY

Steinway is 4 1/2 yr-old male who has spent most of his life in a foster home. A cat with a big sense of humor, he craves attention and wants nothing more than to be loved and played with by his own family.

Energetic and happy, he's looking for those same traits in his new home. What you can't see in this picture is Steinway's truly unusual tail - it curls up over his back just like a Husky's!

J.J.

My name is J.J. - but sometimes my foster home calls me "Hacker", whatever that means!

I'm 2-yrs-old, very handsome, sometimes shy, sometimes a cut-up, sometimes mushy. My favorite treat is scrambled eggs and I love to hunt whole loaves of bread - the bigger the loaf, the better.

I'm great with kittens and other cats, ping-pong balls, and snuggling with humans in the morning.

I'm complicated, but I'm fun!

MIGUEL

Another photo of playful Miguel!

MIGUEL

A grey and white tuxedo, Miguel is almost two years old and a little goofy. He is very friendly, but not a lap cat. He is extremely playful and needs someone who also wants to play.
