Dear Friends,                                                                          

As the season unfolds and we venture into 2025, your support is even more crucial for our feline friends. What an incredible journey we are on together. 

In 2025 we will be celebrating our 10 Year Anniversary in Southbury. We are averaging 500 to 700 adoptions each year, and our Senior to Senior Forever Foster Program supports approximately 60 cats over the age of 12. None of this is possible without your continued support.

As our mission states, we embrace the sick, abused, and forgotten cats and kittens, finding loving forever homes. Here are some of our rock stars:

ALICE is a 22 year old kitty who is part of our Senior-to-Senior Forever Foster Program. That’s 104 in human years! Alice is the oldest senior cat we have ever had thus far in the senior program. Thankfully, one of our long-time volunteers and senior foster took her home to live her life out happily-ever-after! Susan says Alice is still doing great!

FRANCIS came in as a kitten with hydrocephalus, a cleft lip, and he also required surgery for entropion (his eyelashes grow into his eyes). He is now 1 year old. He requires daily medication and periodic visits with the neurologist, but he is a very happy little boy in his loving forever foster home.

STEVIE WONDER is a kitten with moderate to severe Cerebellar Hyperplasia (CH). Stevie is such a wonderful, sweet, playful 8 month old boy. He is a “wobbly cat” with poor balance and mobility, but CH does not get any worse and these cats adapt very well. Stevie was in one of our foster homes for awhile, until he was adopted by a wonderful, kind family who already had another CH kitty friend at home for him to play with!

INDY came in as a little kitten with a terribly infected eye. After months in a medical foster home, he was able to finally get his surgery, thanks to donors like you. Indy became such a happy, healthy boy and was adopted by a wonderful family.

As a Volunteer based 501c3 non-profit Charity (rescue/shelter), we rely on YOU to continue our Vision. We receive NO Federal or State funding and your donation is tax-deductible. (Tax ID # 47-4357003) A tax receipt will be emailed (or regular-mailed for checks) for your donation. From humble beginnings in Bennett Square, to our 4000 sq. ft. facility, look how far we’ve come!

Happy Holidays and Thank You to all of you for your continued help and support.

mamma kittykatMAMMA KITTY KAY & MUFASA:

Sweet, loving and protective MAMMA KITTYKAT. She is a beautiful 10-year-old siamese mix. She is a bonded pair with her 8 year old son, MUFASA. Mamma KittyKat is sweet and friendly, and likes to get pets, but she is very protective of her son and doesn't like other animals besides him. She even smiles for the camera! Right now they are enjoying our cage-free Whiskers Too space, but what they really want is to find their forever home together. Mamma KittyKat's other 2 sons Pinky & Red are also available as a bonded pair.

Minnie 2

 

MINNIE #2

MINNIE is a very calm & friendly 1 year old tabby girl. She is actually pretty "mini" in size, she looks like a kitten. Minnie loves to play, and is very affectionate. She would be such a great addition to your family! Minnie does not seem to love other cats much. We think she would prefer to be the only pet. Fine with kids.
