About Connan

Connan has a knack for turning the ordinary into an adventure—he once hopped into a delivery van thinking it’d be the perfect spot for a nap, only to wake up at the shelter. Life at the shelter was overwhelming at first, but he quickly won everyone over with his easygoing, funny attitude and affectionate nature. After a health check, the team learned he is FIV and FELV positive, which made his search for a home much harder. Despite this, Connan’s energy and love for life haven’t slowed down; he’s hefty, healthy, curious, and always on the lookout for a new puzzle to solve. He’s clever enough to open doors, loves hanging out with people, and does well with other cats and small dogs when introduced slowly. If you’re looking for a companion whose spirit can brighten any room, Connan is ready to bring heart and humor into your home. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
