My story

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

Tilly is our stunning, special kitty. Every few years we run across the dreaded FeLV(Feline leukemia) retrovirus. As rescuers, it's heartbreaking because we want every cat to have a full life. BUT, every life is full, no matter how long it is and we believe that our girl, Tilly, as a full life ahead of her.

We know that there are angels out there that step up to adopt these wonderful kitties. Our Birdie did it. Our Keke did it so we know that Tilly can do it too.

FeLV is specific only to cats so these cats can live with dogs or bunnies. They can also live with other FeLV+ cats or as only kitties. While the average life spam is five years, we have heard of them living to be 11+ years. In these cases, the cats have a regressive form where their immune systems do not allow replication so they can live much longer.

There is no cure or special needs. They just need a good diet, a low stress environment and love.

Tilly is such a sweet girl and would be on your lap all day long if you let her. She is so loving and sweet. Please consider giving Tilly a home. She is healthy and enjoying life right now. There are many FeLV support groups out there and we will certainly be there for you. Let's give Tilly a chance to have a normal life and not be in a sanctuary.

Additional adoption info

The first step to our adoption process is to fill out our quick and easy online application that is found on our website. From there our adoption counselor will call you to go over it with you and talk about any concerns that you may have.

We collect a tax deductible donation of $100 to offset medical costs that we provide the kittens. Those costs include: flea control, internal parasites treatment and age appropriate vaccines. We also provide them with a wellness checkup and testing for FeLV and FIV.
Young adults and kittens that are fully vetted are $250. Seniors, special needs and bonded pairs have a reduced donation.
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.
