The Cat Connection

About

The Cat Connection is an all-volunteer (with the exception of our Shelter Director) 501(c)(3) nonprofit no-kill organization whose primary mission is to rescue abandoned, abused, unwanted, stray, neglected, and injured cats, and to facilitate their adoption into responsible permanent homes. The second part of our mission is to control the feral cat population through our Trap-Neuter-Return-Maintain (TNRM) program and through the trapping and socialization of feral kittens.

Adoption process

To be considered an eligible adopter, we ask that you do the following: Complete an Adoption Application online for The Cat Connection to review. One of our adoption counselors will review your application and contact you for an interview. You must be at least 21 years of age to adopt a cat. Provide verification of home ownership or landlord’s consent. We will accept a tax notice, water bill or mortgage bill as verification of ownership of your own home. If you rent, permission has to be granted in your lease, on your landlord’s letterhead, or by a call from The Cat Connection to your landlord. If applicable, provide contact information for a veterinarian used for current and past pets. Provide or buy a cat carrier for cat and kitten adoptions. Sign an Adoption Contract and pay the adoption fee. We request $100 for each cat over 10 years old, $150 for each cat 5-10 years old, $200 for each cat 1-4 years old, and $225 for each kitten under a year old. These fees fund neutering, vaccinations (rabies and FVRCP), combo testing (feline leukemia and FIV), microchip, and flea treatment for your adopted cat, as well as rescue efforts, shelter and veterinary care. The Cat Connection may, at their discretion, offer discounts to retired and disabled adopters. Please consider that cats need regular medical care throughout their lives.
