Mattea's Story

Mattea is a young calico rescued from a colony in Branford. She was born in September of 2025. She can be a little shy around new people, but she is a snuggle bug who loves cheek scritches and has a purr you can hear from across the room. She loves food, treats, Churus, and all kinds of toys -- especially balls and springs!<br/><br/>Birth Year: 2025<br/>____________________________<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting this cat, you MUST fill out an adoption screening form on our website: www.gnhcp.org/adoptions<br/><br/>We WILL NOT read any applications or inquiries from Petfinder. We only adopt to Connecticut residents.
