My story

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

Skippy is a delightful torbie (gray tabby with orange highlights) female cat about 2-1/2 years old (DOB about 4/1/23).  She has big, beautiful green eyes.  She is also a tripod missing her right front leg.  Her right front leg was broken and atrophied, so it had to be amputated when she was a kitten.  Skippy is very sweet and loving.  She loves to cuddle with you while watching TV and sleeps with me at night.  She is laid back and relaxing and not super active.  She currently lives in a multi-cat home, and, unfortunately, she is being picked on by the other cats in the home.  The owner has tried anti-anxiety meds and taken her to the vet to ensure that there is not a medical issue involved.  The vet is recommending that she be rehomed, since she is being picked on so much, and that she be the only cat.  I think she would be ok with older kids, but she has not lived with kids or dogs.  She is current of her vaccines (had her exam and vaccinations in early Sept) and weighs around 8 lbs.  If interested in Skippy, 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.
