My personality

My story

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

Our dog-cat, Tigger, is ready for his forever home! Tigger was born with his umbilical cords wrapped around his legs. This is a rare occurrence that happens in utero and sometimes the lack of circulation cuts off the leg. Thus was the case with Tigger.
Tigger was adopted at 14 weeks old but recently came back to us because of pain associated with his leg and because the other cat in the home never really accepted him. The dogs were his buddies and playmates. He even wags his tail like a dog.
Now that he is two years old, we could see the discomfort before the surgery so our wonderful vet recommended leg amputation surgery. Tigger is so much more comfortable and can even move easier.
This guy is unstoppable!
Tigger has an big personality. He is confident, intelligent and very self-aware. He is friendly, social, outgoing...He's always right there with you and wants to be involved in everything. He loves to cuddle and will give love bites. He's just very expressive.
We are hoping for a cat-dad for him but he loves all people. He must be the only cat. He needs no special treatment and he won't have it. He can climb and do stairs. He's has been using three legs his whole life we just had to free him from the fourth. We now need to work on getting his weight down just a bit. Please fill out an application for our amazing boy on our website at www.hucatrescue.org.
You can find more videos of Tigger on our YouTube channel and Facebook.
Please consider sending in a donation for Tigger to help with his vet bill.
Thank you!

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.
