My name is 39 Allie!

We had it all wrong! Two year old Allie was initially thought to be a feral pregnant cat and was placed in one our foster homes. It turns out that Allie was not pregnant and was not feral! She was likely in pain from her teeth, which were recently removed with the exception of one. Now she is a lap cat! Allie doesn't like to be picked up but will sit on her foster mom's lap for hours. Her foster mom describes her as "the sweetest little thing."
Her foster mom also writes, "This is Allie. She is estimated to be about 2 years old. She was found in an abandoned building in Hartford. She has only one tooth and is FIV+. When she first arrived at my home she was terrified. She wouldn’t come near me; I was able eventually able to get her in a big crate. Every time I went to feed her, she would hide in the back of the cage. After about 2 weeks she became a love bug. She started to wait for me to come to her door and pet her. After 3 weeks I let her have full range of the kitten room. She loved it! She became my lap cat. She is such a sweet happy girl if you give her a chance. I brought her to the shelter to get attention and hopefully get adopted but I am noticing she is becoming fearful again and hiding in the back of her cage. Please open your heart up to Allie and give her a chance, you won’t regret it! She would be best suited in a home with older children and/or cats younger than her."This cat is waiting for it's Forever Home!

Please consider fostering a cat or dog by applying on our website.

A cat's behavior in the shelter is usually not what it will be like in your home; if the cat is nervous, anxious, or agitated, please know that a shelter is a very stressful place for a cat.

Kitten Policy: It is important to understand that the socialization of kittens with other animals as playmates is important for their development. Therefore, CT Cat Connection has a policy that kittens ​and teenagers up to 12 months of age are adopted in pairs unless there is another animal in the household as a playmate and companion.

Due to demand, we cannot place cats or kittens on hold. Your visit to the shelter is to meet any cat or kitten available for adoption at the time of visit.

If you or anyone you know is interested in helping the shelter, we are always looking for foster families of our cats and dogs, as well as in-person volunteers, to assist with animal care. Fill out an application, which can be found at https://www.ctcatconnection.org/get-involved/
