The Cat Connection is a rescue group based out of Waltham, MA. They are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit no-kill organization whose primary mission is to rescue abandoned, abused, unwanted, stray, neglected, and injured cats, and to facilitate their adoption into responsible permanent homes.

The Cat Connection also works to end the growth of the feral population through TNRM programs in many local communities including Waltham, Newton, Brighton, Allston and Watertown. They maintain many colonies in these areas, as well as several “unofficial” colonies where volunteers feed one or two ferals in their back yards every day.

RESCUE PARTNERS

Throughout the city of Boston there is a population of feral and abandoned cats suffering homeless lives. Boston’s Forgotten Felines are a group of dedicated volunteers who feed, TNR (trap, neuter, return), and rehome friendly cats. They believe education is the key to decrease and one day prevent animals from being homeless. Stop the Cycle: Spay / Neuter your pets and please stop abandoning them.

The focus of Charles River Alleycats is on Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) of "free-roaming" (feral, lost, stray) cats because they believe that the way to address the overpopulation problem is to reduce the supply of kittens and cats into the system. CRA will both help cat owners sterilize their cats and work with the caretakers of free-roaming, un-owned cats to get them sterilized. Their core volunteers help feral colonies needing assistance and link up low income cat owners with reduced fee spay/neuter services. They have strong relationships with rescue facilities across the Greater Boston Area to place friendly and adoptable stray cats and kittens. Charles River Alleycats is making a difference, one neighborhood at a time.

Forgotten Felines of Maine raises awareness of the plight of free-roaming cats by promoting and expanding humane methods for the care of these cats. They support the efforts of caretakers humanely caring for feral, stray, homeless and abandoned cats by:
- Educating the public about ways that cats and people can live peacefully together
- Providing materials, training and advice on Trap, Neuter, and Return (TNR)
- Assisting caretakers in the management of cat colonies by providing food & shelters
- Providing free humane traps for TNR
- Providing spay/neuter services for these cats
- Uniting with other like-minded organizations to affect change and support compassion toward cats
