Gacobi Needs Your Help
To Live a Normal Life
Rescued cats and kittens come into The Cat Connection just about every day it seems.
Not really, but phone calls and emails asking for our help are a daily occurrence.
For the most part, these cats and kittens are usually healthy and just need spay/neuter
procedures and/or vaccine updates.
From time to time, we will rescue a cat or kitten that may have FIV, FIP, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, diabetes, a heart murmur, some type of birth defect or an injury that needs veterinary care.
Today, we have a very young male kitten that is very healthy but has a condition in which his knees become dislocated. In order for Gacobi to compensate for this chronic condition, he walks somewhat pigeon toed to keep his knees from popping out of their sockets. Please
note this is not an elective surgery, as he grows this will become a very painful ongoing condition. Surgery can correct this condition but it would cost The Cat Connection approximately $2500 to 3000 dollars.
We are asking for donations in any amount to get Gacobi his much-needed surgery.

A great big Thank Mew from Gacobi!
Today, May 11, 2012, we bid a fond forever farewell to a sweet cat, Farley.
Farley lived at Boston Best Chimney with his step brother Grey.
R.I.P Farley, we at The Cat Connection will miss him dearly.
We Have An Urgent Need
For Foster Homes
The Cat Connection has not been successful in finding a shelter to help us in fulfilling our mission.
Everyday we are faced with the need to house more rescued and abandoned cats.
To continue our mission, rescuing cats in our service area of Waltham, Newton, Watertown, Belmont, Allston and Brighton, we are asking for your help.
If you can help by taking in a cat or kittens, temporarily, please fill out a Fostering Application.
