Almost Home for Cats

Animal rescue in Durham, CT

We are an all un-paid volunteer rescue group who provides food and medical care to stray, abused and abondoned cats in our own homes, we are not a shelter. We receive no funds other than from the donations received when we adopt out our foster animals. We trap/spay/neuter within a 20 mile radius of our homes and manage many local feral colonies. We are in dire need of cat food and litter and any volunteers within the Durham area who would like to feed feral cats. We have been doing rescue since 1998. We cannot take in owner surrender cats BUT we are willing to post them on our site for adoption; and we will screen potential adopters for the owner.
