Today we have Milo! He is a handsome and sweet 2 year old black with white cat! Milo is neutered and up to date on vaccines so that means he is ready to pack up his bags and leave to his forever home.
He was found outside by a good Samaritan, who posted on social media and websites to help look for a family if there was one. No one came forward so they brought Milo here. He was a bit nervous here with new people but has been making friends one by one. He doesn’t seem to want to be around other cats so he would need to be the only cat.
We have lots of different personality’s in out shelter so hopefully if not these cats we can find one for you! For any of our available pets please visit us at CT humane.org/adopt and apply online.
