About Raja

Raja is just over a year old and has experience living with other cats, making him a social choice for multi-cat households. The shelter environment can be hard on cats, so Raja might seem nervous or withdrawn at first, but most cats settle in and reveal their best selves once they’re home. Connecticut Cat Connection has a policy for younger cats: adopters should have another playful animal at home or adopt a pair so Raja gets the companionship he needs to thrive. Raja is available for fostering if you’d rather start with a trial run at home. Come meet him in Windsor, CT—he’s looking for that family (cat siblings included) to call his own. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
