The Cat Connection is an all-volunteer (with the exception of our two part-time Shelter Directors) 501(c)(3) nonprofit no-kill organization. Our mission is to find a safe and loving home for every cat. Our Three-Pronged Approach: The Cat Connection is an all-volunteer (with the exception of our two part-time Shelter Directors) 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. This includes special needs cats and kittens with conditions that will require a specialized approach to adoption. We also support our cat community by providing much-needed veterinary and behavior consulting services to caring cat owners who cannot afford to provide basic veterinary care to their beloved pets, including spay/neuter, vaccinations, and microchipping. The third aspect of our mission is to help control the feral cat population through our Trap Neuter-Return-Maintain (TNRM) program and through the trapping and socialization of feral kittens.
