200-Sparky

My story

Meet Sparky, a handsome 9-month-old black cat with a heart full of potential, but still working on trusting people. Sparky was found as a stray, dumped outside, and lived in a foster home with dogs and older kids. Though he used to be friendlier, Sparky tends to feed off the nervous energy of his more skittish brothers, which has made his socialization progress a bit slow.Sparky is looking for a patient adopter who can give him the time and space he needs to build trust and confidence. He would do best in a home with another confident kitten or young cat to help show him the ropes and make him feel safe. With a bit of encouragement, Sparky will likely flourish into the affectionate and playful companion he’s meant to be.If you’re experienced with shy cats and ready to offer Sparky the gentle love he needs, he could be the perfect fit for your home!This cat is waiting for it's Forever Home! Email adoptions@ctcatconnection.org with a question or better yet, complete an application for quickest consideration. (Application: https://www.ctcatconnection.org/adoption-application/). Please consider fostering a cat or dog by applying on our website.A cat's behavior in the shelter is usually not what it will be like in your home; if the cat is nervous, anxious, or agitated, please know that a shelter is a very stressful place for a cat.Kitten Policy: It is important to understand that the socialization of kittens with other animals as playmates is important for their development. Therefore, CT Cat Connection has a policy that kittens ​and teenagers up to 12 months of age are adopted in pairs unless there is another animal in the household as a playmate and companion.Due to demand, we cannot place cats or kittens on hold. Your visit to the shelter is to meet any cat or kitten available for adoption at the time of visit.If you or anyone you know is interested in helping the shelter, we are always looking for foster families of our cats and dogs, as well as in-person volunteers, to assist with animal care.
