Poly's Story

Meet Poly, a gentle five-year-old kitty with a tender heart who’s ready to blossom!<br/><br/>Poly is a handsome black-and-white European Shorthair with a quiet charm. At first, he may be a little shy, but once he feels safe, his sweetness begins to shine. Beneath that cautious exterior is a deeply affectionate cat just waiting for the right person to show him patience and love.<br/><br/>When Poly first arrived, he was understandably unsure of his new surroundings. Thanks to the gentle care of his foster mom, he’s come a long way—now enjoying cozy 20-minute cuddle sessions and leaning into pets with soft, contented purrs. Each day, his confidence grows, and we know his loving personality will only continue to bloom.<br/><br/>Poly will thrive with an experienced, patient adopter who understands that trust takes time but is truly worth the wait. With calm encouragement, he’ll reward you with quiet companionship, gentle affection, and a bond that feels extra special because it’s earned.<br/><br/>Poly tends to feel most comfortable around women, so we’re hoping to find him a calm, understanding cat mom who can continue the wonderful progress he’s made.<br/><br/>If you believe the best relationships are built on trust, kindness, and love, Poly is waiting for you. Give this beautiful boy the safe, patient home he deserves—and watch him blossom into the incredible companion he’s meant to be.<br/><br/>Interested in adopting Poly? Follow the directions below!<br/><br/>--------<br/>If you are interested in adopting, please fill out our online adoption application by copying and pasting the following link into your browser: http://thecatconnection.org/adopt/adoption-application/<br/><br/>Following the instructions and filling out this application rather than emailing us will get you a quicker response.<br/><br/>Please also consider fostering as an alternative to adoption.

Our policy is to adopt kittens in pairs. We find that kittens are much happier when they have a companion and they tend to expend their youthful energy on each other rather than on your couch! Kittens are adorable, but older cats can be wonderful pets as well and they tend to be overlooked, so please consider adopting an adult cat or two!<br/><br/>The Cat Connection is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3)organization of volunteers who rescue homeless cats.
