Feline fans; I am passing on a very important message from our cat intake coordinator.
With the consistent cold nights beginning and the change of seasons, our already high number of requests for help have started to rise.
Here’s the reality: we are busy as can be with rescue and have a long wait list for cats to take in, and we cannot always help as soon as some would like us to.
If you are reaching out for rescue help, PLEASE be patient with us. Of course we want to help, that’s the name of the game! But we can only go as far as our resources, funding, and shelter space allow us to. And right now, we have a lot of cats that need us in-shelter.
We know some situations are unexpected, but if you are able to plan ahead with a need for rescue, please do so. Inquiries for rescue help must be directed to [email protected] to be put on the waitlist.
Don’t wait for the devastating event before reaching out…because truth be told, we don’t always have the capacity or funds for immediate rescue. Get them on the waitlist before something happens; before they get hurt, before they disappear, before they are cold, before they get sick, or before they get pregnant and one rescue turns into 6.
This year continues to be an exceptionally difficult one in rescue, but there are ways you can help us this season if you are able:
➡️Donate: Donations primarily go toward our medical expenses. And the quicker cats are vetted and cleared for adoptions; the quicker cages become available for the next kitty on the list. Our Donorbox link can be found here: https://donorbox.org/connecticut-cat-connection-fund
➡️Foster: You’ve heard it before, but it’s true. Fostering is one of the strongest tools we use. With foster, a cat is safe inside: being socialized, fed, and loved. While this is happening, another cage becomes open for a different cat to join the CCC crew. Two cats saved because of one selfless act.
➡️Adopt: If you’re in a position to adopt and you feel ready, what are you waiting for!? We are at capacity with so many cats ready to go home and become a part of your family!
Thank you for your unwavering support and your understanding as we navigate another upcoming cold season in animal rescue.
As a reminder, social media does not aid in the intake or rescue process. Requests for rescue help MUST be directed to [email protected]
