My story

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

Meet Cayenne and Tamale, spicy, fun littermates.  They are short-haired classic orange tabby males about 1 year old (DOB about 4/1/23).  They were given spicy names at the shelter because they were pretty hissy when they were brought into the shelter as strays.  But they came to a foster home young enough to learn that humans are pretty good to them.  They enjoy snuggle time with their humans and with other cats. They'll need a little patience to adjust to a new home, but they are worth it!   They are VERY playful and active.  They love to play with toys or other cats and are never bored.  They like to be held and to snuggle.  They get along well with cats, and I think they'd be great with dogs.  They may not be good with small kids, since they may be nervous in a new home.  They are negative for feline leukemia and aids, had all three distemper and the rabies vaccines, been wormed, had advantage for fleas, and been vet checked, neutered, and microchipped. They can be adopted separately, but we will adopt both for the price of one kitten if they can be adopted as a pair. If interested in these cutie pies, please contact Holly at 865-671-4564 or hhfrey1@tds.net

 



We are a small, private feline-only rescue group dedicated to the rescue, care and placement of homeless cats and kittens. The majority of our cats and kittens come from high kill shelters. Through our application and interview process, we strive to make the 'purrfect' match to insure a loving, lifelong home for those in our care. We do NOT receive funding from any national organization, federal or state governments.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Potential adopters are required to complete our application before adoption. Our adoption fee varies based on the age and breed of the cat. The fee includes testing for feline leukemia and aids, the series of distemper vaccines, the rabies vaccines, wormings, advantage so they are flea free when you take them home, a veterinary exam, and the spay or neuter. Microchipping is available for an additional $45. The adoption fee is waived for qualifying adopters interested in one of our sponsored cats.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

At this time we are not attending adoption fairs. To adopt, we ask that you first complete an application (email hhfrey1@tds.net to request and indicate the cat(s) of interest). Approved applications will be allowed to meet the cat in a home environment. Completing the application does not obligate you to adopt.

More about this rescue

Stray Connection is a small organization of private foster homes (no shelter or store-front) that takes in kittens/cats from shelters outside of Knoxville that are typically high-kill, low-funded. These cats are brought to Knoxville where they receive the necessary vet care. Because our cats live in private homes, we know them well. It is our mission to make the best match of the cat's personality and individual needs with an approved adopter.
