About The Cat Connection
The Cat Connection is a group of caring volunteers who respect cats and are committed to
the rescue and rehabilitation of homeless cats.
The Cat Connection is a not-for-profit organization with foster homes in Waltham, Newton,
and several other places in Massachusetts .
Because most of our cats are in foster homes and not shelters, we are able to know their
personalities and match them with the best possible forever homes.
The Cat Connection is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is
two-part: 1. to control the local feral (undomesticated) cat population through
Trap-Neuter-Return-Maintain (TNRM) programs; and 2. to facilitate the adoption
of stray and abandoned cats and kittens into responsible permanent homes through our
foster care and adoption programs.
FOSTER HOMES NEEDED
We still have a number of pregnant mothers and mothers with kittens.We also have other cats in our system. We are in urgent need of foster homes for these families. Please visit our Foster Parent section to get information about fostering and fill out an application to be a foster parent, if you feel up to the task.

Brewster, Our Latest Find
His name would be Brewster. They noticed him sitting by the house and thought he was just a neighborhood cat stopping to rest. In fact, they even saw a girl in the neighborhood holding a black and white cat, and with a quick look, they thought it was him. Then, one morning a week later, they saw him again sitting by the house, this time in the pouring rain.
When they got home from work Brewster was still there, looking very cold with his hair all wet and sticking up; and he seemed to be missing an eye. Lucky for him, “they” were two of our Cat Connection volunteers. Pam and Bud did what they could for him with a warm towel full of love and a hug, but he was going to need more than that.
