About this Cat
Hi there. This is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to write. I’m looking for a kind, responsible person to adopt my beloved black kitten. He’s what I believe to be around 6 months old, full of personality, and has been my little shadow since I rescued him. I found him outside on my porch after he’d been attacked by another animal, hungry, injured, and alone. I couldn’t just walk away. Since then, I’ve poured my heart into caring for him. cleaning his wounds daily, monitoring his symptoms, and doing everything I can to keep him comfortable and loved. But I rent just a single room, and I cannot afford to give him the medical care and space he truly deserves. 🐾 About Him: • Age: ~6 months (assuming) •Neuter: not neutered • Color: All black, sleek and beautiful with the tiniest white patch on his belly • Personality: Playful, affectionate, curious, and very bonded to people. He was clearly abandoned by his owners and he is not feral at all • Behavior: Like most kittens, he’s energetic, he’ll run across the bed, jump on you while you sleep, and meow for attention. He’s still learning boundaries and routines. This is a problem for me since I cannot let him outside of my room. - a very tired cat mom. 🩺 Medical Needs: • Nail injuries/infections: Several of his nails were broken to the quick during the fight that injured him. Some are inflamed and painful, one nail is completely ripped out on his back paw. he needs vet care to stop all his nail infections and support healing. • Upper respiratory issues: Occasional discharge and irritation in one eye accompanied by sneezing, possibly viral or bacterial. Im pretty sure it’s a URI that requires antibiotics. • Current care: I’ve been using Vetericyn antimicrobial eye drops that help keep his eye from being crusted shut and MicrocynAH wound spray daily to heal his scratches and to try to keep his nail infections from worsening. (all his scratches are mostly healed now and scabs are falling off.) I’ve had to also remove chunks of infection from his nails using microcynAH on a qtip and tweezers. These actions ive taken and medications have helped, but he still needs a vet’s diagnosis and treatment plan as this is not enough to fully get rid of his conditions Currently: he is still active, jumping, running, eating, and using the litter box as normal. 🏡 What He Needs: • A stable, loving home with space to explore • Someone who has the time for him, can afford vet care, and understands kitten behavior • Patience and compassion he’s still healing and learning • Ideally, someone who sees the beauty in black cats and won’t overlook him 💌 From Me: This kitten means the world to me. Hes like my little best friend at this point. I’m not giving him up because I don’t love him I’m doing it because I do. I want him to be safe, healthy, and cherished. If you’re someone who can offer that, please reach out. I’d love to tell you more about him, and make sure this transition is gentle and loving. 💸 Rehoming Fee: A small rehoming fee of $65 will apply to help ensure he goes to a committed, prepared home. This also covers some of the medications and supplies I’ve purchased for him, which I’ll provide to you. I also request that if you do adopt him, I can be updated on how hes doing. It breaks my heart to pieces to let him go but it would make me feel so much better to see how hes doing in his new home & to see that he is getting the vet care he desperately needs and deserves. For the fee: cash, Venmo, cashapp, or PayPal is fine Thank you for reading. If you’d like to adopt him please contact me, or if you know of any rescues that will take him in without putting him to rest please let me know! I pray this post could help him find the home/help he deserves. 📍 Located in New London, CT Pickup is necessary as we do not have a car right now. No cat carrier included

Adopt Mao and Receive Mao's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Mao's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$6 is Mao's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Mao, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Mao's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Mao was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Mao’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Mao’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Mao’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
