ANDY
The word "mellow" comes to mind when describing Andy, a handsome, gray and white tuxedo approximately five to six years of age. Andy must have many stories we'll never hear about, but we do know he managed to survive in a very high traffic area, an unfriendly neighborhood, and through harsh weather for years.
He'd already been neutered, so was clearly a tame, abandoned cat when FOF volunteers were trapping feral cats on his street. When they came across this very special cat, he rolled over and waved his legs in the air, begging to be taken care of. Because of his abandonment, it was with great sadness he was gently picked up and placed into a trap, but it is now with great joy that we offer this gentle and loving soul for adoption into a home where he will surely give comfort and warmth in exchange for the same.
A cat who has tested positive for FIV, Andy will nevertheless get along wonderfully with anyone, cat or dog, and especially humans, so it doesn't really matter about his FIV status. He is quiet and easy, like a stuffed animal but with the added benefit that he really purrs when touched.
To meet Andy, visit him at Natural Pet Supply (1000 Hope Street, Stamford) where he will be relaxing in the "popcorn cart"!
For more information on Andy, or testing positive for FIV, please go to our Nutrition & Health section or contact cats@adoptapet.org
PEPPY
A bobcat cross? No way! A kind and gentle youngster whose only tail might have been one of woe but turned out to be a success story instead!
Peppy - named for his boundless energy - sustained an injury to his tail when he was a tiny kitten. This pulled on the nerves in his spine, causing him to have numbness. When nature called, Peppy couldn't hear.
The first step was to amputate the tail that Peppy dragged around lifelessly behind him. Then we tried something different - acupuncture! Little by little, Peppy's condition improved. Next was a change to a high fiber diet and now Peppy is almost purr-fect and ready for a home and lots of love.
A lover boy, Peppy's easy-going, sweet, affectionate, friendly, kind, gentle, active, sensitive, cuddly - all good things make up this extraordinary little cat who only wants someone to love him.
REGGIE
Hi, My name is Reggie. I was abandoned a long time ago (I'm probably 3 yrs old) and I spent a lot of time outside on my own - lucky for me a FOF volunteer was feeding me.
Eventually, the FOF volunteer trapped me and brought me to her vet. Surprise, surprise, now I follow her around like a dog. If she doesn't pay enough attention to me, I talk to her (I'm kind of vocal) and if that doesn't work, I grab her leg...
I'm a FiV positive cat - but I'm full of life. Don't want to be ungrateful, but wondering if anyone out there would have just a little more time to spend with me?

CAPPUCCINO
Start your day with this sweet cat! Cappuccino is gentle, easy going and great with other cats. He's a simple guy who has some special needs. He has a seizure disorder which is kept stable with medication. He's four to five years old with plenty of love.
BLINKEN
Blinken is a two year old tabby female. She, like Nod, has tear ducts which are scarred over. She is chatty, affectionate and very friendly. Her special need is for someone to wipe her eyes once a day and maybe to wipe her nose once in a while too.
NOD
Nod is a female tortoise shell cat who is two years old. Her tear ducts are scarred over so her special need is for someone to wipe her eyes once a day. Sometimes her nose needs to be wiped too.
