My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Our sweet Annabelle is longing for a home or a foster home where she can shine and not worry about kittens jumping on her or other cats getting in the way of her attention.

Anna's story is long and she has endured so much. She came to us from a nice person who took her in when her 'family' left her behind after an eviction. They thought she could live in an old barn nearby and that people would feed her. After some time, old barn was demolished and the kind person took Annabelle in but only to realize that she had a severe cat allergy.

A peculiar thing about Annabelle that we noticed was that she did not eat much at all and if she had lived in the barn for months why was she never seen with kittens. Was she spayed or not? Nothing made sense. We waited for her tummy to grow then took her in for an ultrasound. Anna was not pregnant so we made an appointment for her spay surgery.
An easy procedure that usually takes 20 minutes took our vet, a respected surgeon, two hours and the incision was the length of her whole torso! Turns out that Anna had a congenital growth around her ovaries that was pushing on her other organs. She could not get pregnant. The years of hormonal roller-coaster also contributed to mammary tumors. Luckily all of the biopsies came back benign.
Yes, she's our $1000.00 girl! But, it was worth it. We got answers and we did the right thing for her because it was not her fault. It could all have been avoided if she had only been spayed on time when she was what we can only guess an adorable, spunky teenager.

Anna also tested positive for FIV antibodies, another thing that could have been avoided had she been spayed on time and not chased by intact males.

There is no doubt that she had pain and much discomfort but good news. Anna is eating like never before. She is enjoying her food and healing well. She's looking great. She has a strong spirit that seems to conquer all challenges. She has just one more challenge and that is to find that special person.

Anna craves lots of attention and enjoys lap time and reading. She is quiet and not very active so perfect for a small space. Please fill out an application for our beautiful girl on our website at www.hucatrescue.org. Thank you!

If you have any questions the fastest way to reach our adoption coordinator is through email. Thank you!

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Our pets are in private homes and our foster families are flexible and happy to accommodate to your schedule. Since they are private homes, you do need to fill out an application before going for a visit. We have public showings and adoption event for those who prefer to come and meet our kitties that way first.

More about this rescue

Hearts United Cat Rescue is comprised of a group of families united by our passion and dedication to help homeless cats. We do not have a physical shelter, but instead work out of a network of foster homes throughout the central Connecticut area where the fostered cats and kittens are treated like members of the family.

The cats remain in their foster homes until they find their permanent, committed and loving families. While being fostered they learn what it is like to be part of a family.
