What you can do...

There are many ways to support Whiskers. You can make a monetary donation, adopt a kitty, attend our events, support our fundraisers, become a sponsor, donate supplies, or even volunteer your time!

As a non-profit organization, Whiskers Pet Rescue relies heavily on donations to continue our mission. Your generous contributions help us provide food, medical care, and shelter for our cats. Every dollar makes a difference and goes directly to our care efforts. Consider supporting us in our cause to save lives.

You can help us care for the kitties at Whiskers and in foster by choosing supplies from our Wish Lists! 

Explore our current selection of cats available for adoption at Whiskers Pet Rescue in Southbury. These adorable cats are eagerly waiting to find their forever homes! Kittens are not posted online, but once you are approved to adopt, you can make an appointment to meet all of our currently available kittens!  APPLY

We are fortunate to have a team of wonderful volunteers at Whiskers Cat Rescue who dedicate their free time to cleaning and caring for the cats and kittens in the shelter. 

Our Foster Program is vital. Our foster families provide a loving temporary home for our rescued cats and kittens until they are ready for  adoption and find their forever homes.

Whiskers Cat Rescue offers cage-free rooms for cats that are stressed or need socialization to become more easily adoptable. Our special 'Cuddler' volunteers work one-on-one with these cats and kittens to comfort and socialize them. You can also make a difference in cat adoption by sponsoring one of these rooms, helping to support the kitties staying in 'your' room at Whiskers Southbury.

Whiskers Cat Rescue currently has about 70 senior cats in our Senior-to-Senior Forever Foster Program. Many shelters will not even accept senior cats, but they matter to us at Whiskers! We desperately need help to continue this wonderful mission of connecting senior citizens with senior felines. By sponsoring a senior kitty, you assist with providing essential medical care, medications, and basic supplies like food and litter for the cats in our wonderful senior program.

Here are five possibilities you may want to consider:
