CT Humane Society Pet of the Week
Good morning! This week I want to introduce you all to Passion. She is a 4 month year old female kitten that is waiting for her forever home. She came to us with her housemate “Blue”. Passion is shy and needs to live with adults only while she gains her confidence. Our Behavior coordinator and animal care team work daily with shy cats to help them with their adjustment to the shelter and help prep them for their home. She has lived with other cats so with proper introductions she should be able to have cat friends in the future but has not met a dog. If you have a dog at home we may ask you to bring them in to meet Passion. Whomever takes passion home has to build her trust so they have a little work to do, but I always think those shy cats who learn to trust you make the best companions!
If you are interested in learning more about Passion, visit us online at cthumane.org or give our Westport branch a call to speak to our adoption counselors.
