The Feline Connection champions for cats who need homes. We are committed to finding each cat a safe and healthy permanent home. We work to find the best possible home matches for each of our stray or friendly ‘colony cats’ based on their unique needs, and the needs of the adopter. We have no shelter location, so all of our animals are fostered with families in Rutland County, Vermont, mostly near Rutland. This gives us the unique capability to observe and interact with each cat in a relaxed home environment. 

Please note: We are pleased to be in a position where we are a bit overwhelmed by the number of adoption applications. Please do submit yours so we are able to get your name on our list but know that it is taking us some extra time to process applications. We will contact applicants in the order received. We thank you for your patience and your interest in providing our special kitties a forever home.
