Silent Auction Recap: Nov 2022
This event was put together by a small group of volunteers in just 2 weeks—and it was a huge success! We had people coming in at the door buying tickets… we had a lot of new people who supported us… we were afraid we might even run out of food at one point, it was so popular! Huge shoutout to our awesome entertainment Lisa: she is actually going professional but

In Memory of Shermy
This is hard to write… It is with a very heavy heart, I need to let you know that Shermie crossed rainbow bridge due to kidney failure. He was so well loved by his adoptive parents, Susanna and Tiffany, who took such excellent care of him and kept him comfortable and happy right until the end. He was a gentle, good-spirited soul even though he had endured some hard times

STOP DECLAWING
STOP DECLAWING Sen. Mark Montigny (D-New Bedford) is sponsoring Bill SD.2180 which would prohibit declawing in Massachusetts (except in rare medical crises). With passage of Sen. Montigny’s bill, Massachusetts would join California and Rhode Island in enacting legislation to protect cats from declawing. Violators would be subject to fines ranging from $1,000 to $2,500, as well as the possibility of being required to complete a course in the humane treatment
In Memory of Miss Shadow
Sadly, Miss Shadow passed during a surgery on August 3rd, 2020. She was a friendly and sweet girl. Her baby, Kismet, recovered from his surgery and will live a long happy life in her memory. My name is Miss Shadow and I’m a 1-2 year old female cat. A nice lady saw me under a car with my baby during a heavy rain storm and took me into her home.
Pet Jerky Treats Warning
8-21-2019 Thousands of pets have fallen ill or died after consuming certain jerky treats made in China. As a result, the FDA has posted a warning for pet owners: “Jerky pet treats are not required as part of a complete and balanced diet for your pet. If you choose to feed jerky pet treats, watch your pet closely.
Harvey Soolman
One of our care & cleaning volunteers passed away on Sunday, May 13th, 2018. He will be so missed. You can see his obituary here: https://www.brezniakrodman.com/obituary-archive/harvey-soolman/
In Memory of Seal
Seal was an extraordinarily sweet cat who somehow ended up at a shelter in Rhode Island when she was eight years old. The people there decided she was too old to adopt out, so she spent five years at their shelter. When she was thirteen, someone spotted her and brought her to Kitty Connection. I met Seal while doing Care & Cleaning at Kitty Connection, and after hearing her story,
Felix
Felix was a 7-to-9-year old big, lovable boy. He lived with his previous human for seven years, but that person had to move to Florida and couldn’t take Felix with him. After bouncing around for a while, Felix came to Kitty Connection – but unfortunately he fell ill around the same time. We wish we had time to find you a new forever home, Felix. We hope you enjoyed your
Kendell
Kendell was a sweet 8 week old little tabby boy (with beautiful green eyes) who was looking for a home where he could be loved and adored for all the years to come. He never found that home but he was loved at Kitty Connection by all who met him.
Phoebe
Phoebe was adopted 5 years ago by Kathee, Kitty Connection’s photographer. In her new home, she ruled over her step-brothers and step-sisters and was a total “Diva” as befitting a typical “tortie”. She was loved by all who met her and she loved all (humans) and most cats whom she met. She was loved also for her quirky look: one crinkled ear and a unique nose, and for her raspy
The Orphans
The Orphans came to Kitty Connection at 4 weeks old. Unfortunately, despite all the efforts by the dedicated Kitty Connection volunteers, they were not strong enough to survive. They were sweet and cute, and loved in the week that they were with us.
Zorro
Little baby Zorro did not have the best start in his young life and Kitty Connection volunteers tried their best to give him a chance. Sadly, their efforts were not enough to save him. In the week that KC had him, he was loved and adored.
England
England, who was adopted from kitty connection 5 to 6 years ago, passed away from a possible heart condition. Her family loved her dearly and is deeply saddened. She will be missed every day.
Yvette
Yvette was a beautiful, all white, 5 month old girl. She was super friendly and adorable, and was looking forward to being a permanent member of a family. Sadly, she passed away a week later before she could find a home of her own. Now, she is running free with many feline friends in heaven.
Penny
Penny was a five year old cat that came to Kitty Connection. She was lively one day and lifeless the next – we think she may have died of FIP. We are sorry we did not have time to get you a forever home, Penny.
Ale
Ale was a 12-year old brown tabby who was picked up as a stray in a building, obviously abandoned by his owner. He was curious and laid back at the same time – a perfect gentleman. Unfortunately Ale had liver issues and took a turn for the worst before he found his forever home. Run free, Ale.
Lauri
Lauri was a very playful, very beautiful kitten with shiny black fur & stunning green eyes. She was struck with bacterial pneumonia, and despite our best efforts, she did not survive the illness. We wish we had time to find you a forever home and see you grow up, Lauri. Here’s a video of her playing with her brother before she got sick: https://youtu.be/N-k89hADewY
Roxy
Roxy is an affectionate cat, about 11 years old. She faced euthanasia after her owners learned of her diagnosis of diabetes. Their adult daughter reached out for help, and, knowing that diabetes is easily manageable and often curable in cats, I responded. Her description of Roxy: “Roxy’s behaviors: she’s very much a lap cat, and will twirl around your ankles until you kneel down to pet her- after which she
Titan
Titan was an 8-10 week old little boy. He was a cute little, all black boy with a little white “blaze” on his chest. Unfortunately he passed away way too young. He was very much loved during is short time with Kitty Connwction.
Oscar
Oscar was an older cat who was living on the streets, where a nice lady was feeding him. One day she noticed that he didn’t look too good, so she brought him to the vet. Kitty Connection took him from there and found him a great home, along with his cat-friend Pepper. Unfortunately Oscar did not have as much time with his new forever family as we’d hoped. He was
Princess Di
Princess Di was an all black, 6 year old girl whose owners moved away and left her behind. She came to Kitty Connection and was loved in her foster home. She passed away before she could fond her furever home.
Archie
Archie was my beloved cat of just one year but he was the love of my life. He got sick and couldn’t pull through. I will surely miss him but I am grateful to have had a beautiful year with him in my life.
Skittles
Skittles has passed on. He was 4. Here is a picture of him from right before he got really sick. He was so handsome and one of the sweetest cats I ever had the pleasure of sharing my home with. He left us on 04/02/2015, he is deeply missed.
Cherry
Cherry was originally named Hippo. He was discovered living under a porch and brought to Kitty Connection by a local animal control officer. He was between 10 and 12 when he came to us, and his fur was so severely matted that he was given a lion’s cut. Hippo absolutely loved to be petted, and would roll over to have his belly rubbed. Hippo’s foster mom Rita fell in love
Pepita
Pepita is a spayed cat who was living in a home but acting like a cat that wasn’t spayed! She was going into “heat” so she was not allowed to stay in her home and, because she was not re-checked by a vet, she may have been put down. She was brought Kitty Connection’s vet and it was found that, although she was spayed, some of an ovary is still
Watson
Our sweet, handsome Watson passed over the Rainbow Bridge last night. Watson was surrounded by the love of his foster parents – Steve and Linda. He knew nothing but love, kindness, walks, treats, a cuddly bed and constant companionship for the last 4 months of his life. Even in his last moments of life Watson wanted nothing more than to be with his foster dad. He will be missed tremendously
Chanel
My name is Chanel and I am one of 5 kittens born in someone’s house where we lived in the hallway. I guess it wasn’t obvious to those people that something was wrong with me. A weepy eye, thick mucous, eventually not noticing an eye, all seemed normal to them. We are just animals. My mom would have sought help for me if she could, but mom was shut in
Dusty
Dusty’s owner was an elderly man who needed to go to a nursing home, and I took him in to care for him. It soon became apparent that Dusty’s owner wouldn’t be coming home, and it also became apparent that Dusty (aka Londo) won my heart. He was a big sweet fluffy boy who loved attention, but also just loved sitting and looking majestic. He greeted me at the door
