CT Humane Society Pet of the Week
Meet Fritzy! She is a 2-year-old black and white female cat. She is spayed and up-to date on vaccines. Fritzy is a petite cat and it will be almost like having a kitten forever! She was found outside of our building one day and was shy for the first few days but settled in quickly.
She loves to have company, easy to handle, and just generally fun! We don’t recommend apartments due to her loud meows and she does need lots of attention so if you are looking for a quiet cat she is not the one for you. Though we do have other types of cat personalities too!
Fritzy is so easy going she will make a nice first time cat and would probably do well in a busy home. If anyone is interested in Fritzy or any other pet here at the shelter visit our website and apply at cthumane.org/adopt New animals are added weekly so make sure you check out our site often!

CT Humane Society Pet of the Week
Meet Lucy! We sure love Lucy down here at the shelter! She is a very sweet 9 year old female cat. Lucy came to us when her family was moving and now looking for a place to call her own. She has lived with children around 6 years of age and was playful with them, but the foster she is with says she can be shy and hides when there is a lot going on. So a quiet home would be best. When Lucy talks to you she has a lower raspy voice and its endearing, you know it is her when you walk into the cat room!
Lucy should do well with a first time cat owner too. So if anyone is interested in Lucy or any other pet here at the shelter visit our website and apply at cthumane.org/adopt to see all our available animals! New animals are added weekly so make sure you check out our site often!
Along with our special cat Lucy I would like to add that we are having a career fair tomorrow here at the Westport Branch for anyone that is interested in a career in animal welfare. Visit CThumane.org/careerfair for more information.
