The Stray Connection

We are a small, private rescue group devoted exclusively to cats and kittens. Our mission is to rescue, care for, and find loving homes for homeless felines. All of our cats are placed in private foster homes, which allows them to be well-socialized and helps us better understand their individual personalities. Most of our rescues come from high-kill or underfunded shelters in East Tennessee. In addition, we have extensive experience in treating FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis, sometimes referred to as feline parvo) and are happy to offer guidance and support to those navigating treatment for their own beloved pets. Advice is free and readily given. Our thorough, multi-step adoption process—including a detailed application and interview—helps us make the purrfect match between each cat’s personality and an adopter’s expectations. This careful approach ensures our cats find safe, loving, and lifelong homes. While our adoption fees may be higher than some other rescues, they reflect the high level of veterinary care and testing we provide to ensure our cats are healthy and ready for their new families. We receive no funding from national organizations or government sources. As such, donations are always deeply appreciated and go directly toward the care of the cats we rescue. We have no paid employees
