My story

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

Poppy is a short-haired, handsome beige tabby male cat about 2-3 years old.  Poppy showed up scared and hungry ready to eat.  He is a sweet kitty who loves humans and seems to hate other cats.  He is FIV positive, current on his vaccinations, and neutered.  The family who rescued him cannot keep him because he is very aggressive to their other cats.  He needs a home where he is the only cat.  The family is having to keep Poppy in a room by herself, which is not fair to poor Poppy who just want to be where people are.  He loves to be held all the time, loves to cuddle, and loves to play.  He is a true lap cat with lots of love to give to a new family.  He is such a sweet, interesting kitty that he deserves a good home where he isn’t confined to a bedroom.  If interested in Poppy, 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.
