My story

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

Meet Sunny, a special little girl who needs a special home. She ended up in rescue because her family had more animals than they could care for. Not long after she went to a foster home, she developed FIP, which was diagnosed on 1/9/25. She immediately started the treatment, which has been completed.  As part of her post-treatment bloodwork, she was combo tested and turned out to be feline leukemia positive. She had previously tested negative. A separate test to confirm the diagnosis revealed that it is 'regressive'. If you Google 'regressive feline leukemia,' you'll get an excellent overview of her condition, and you'll understand why she needs to be in a home with no other cats.  We don't want to put Sunny with other leukemia cats, because we don't want her to become 'progressive.'  And we don't want her to be with cats who don't have leukemia, since she could pass leukemia to other cats.  You know who wouldn't be a problem? Dogs and people!!  She loves attention.  She has lived with dogs and teenagers, and we think she’ll be fine with younger kids as well.  Sunny has been vaccinated, wormed, treated for fleas, vet checked, and spayed.  SUNNY IS A COURTESY POST.  If interested in Sunny, please contact Michele at 719-482-8002 or bygolley1@aol.com.

 

 



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.
