We said we were gonna take a break to catch up and recover from burnout, but when no other rescue can help, and the kittens are at the perfect age to socialize, it’s very hard to say no. (We is the royal we… it’s really just one of us who is still learning how to take care of herself and put her mask on first before assisting others). Saturday we trapped two kittens, Monday, with the help of an amazing local trapper, we caught mom, and finally today we caught the last two kittens. They will be tested and vaccinated and get a check up this Friday, and then they will go to fosters who will help instill some love and trust in them, and then mama and all four kittens will be available for adoption. Please start an application online if you are interested… We know that there’s already quite a bit of interest so we will do our best to respond. I’m going to take this moment to remind everyone that this is really not easy work and we are all volunteers and every rescue in the area is full and trying their best. We have decided for our best interest and to make the best impact that we can that this year we are going to focus on the four colonies that we have established. There is a colony in downtown Niantic that needs some serious trapping and neutering and returning, and we want to focus efforts there because the only way to get ahead of the reproduction is to throw a lot of energy in that direction. We all try our best, but recently there have been more cats in need than all the local rescues can handle. Have patience with us and all the rescues in the area and spay and neuter your cats and dogs please.

Is anyone interested in fostering 2, 9 to 10 week old kittens that are outside at the moment and need a place to go?

We got a message, but we are just so overwhelmed by all the messages and calls and cats that we get. No other rescue has stepped forward. There is a mother cat and four kittens outside. The kittens are at the age where they can be socialized but it will take work (playing, cuddling, etc). It would probably be best if they were split up into two groups of two so we are putting out feelers to see if anyone is interested in fostering two kittens. They would be tested and vaccinated and medicated by us.

Mom would be trapped and spayed and returned when she was healed (we would take care of her during that time of healing).

Please reach out if you think this is something you can do. We are trying to make a decision within the next couple of days because they are at that prime point where they are still sociable, but if they get much older, it’ll be harder to socialize them.

For the first time in what seems like forever, FOFF is foster free! Carson, one of our board members, counted the days, and this is the first time after 581 days that she doesn’t have a foster under her roof! All of our cats in other foster homes have found forever homes too! We are so relieved.

FoFF is going to take a winter break from fostering and is going to focus on our growing list of spays and neuters we need to do for our trap, neuter, return system in our many colonies in the area.

We have to admit— these past few years have been extremely difficult. The cost of TNR has increased, so our funds dwindle faster than we can fundraise our numbers back up. We have noticed an increase in demands for us to trap, spay, medically treat, and foster or rehome cats, and, quite frankly, we just do not have the space, time, or money. At the moment, our team consists of only 4 board members, 3 partial fosters, and a handful of helpers when we do our Memorial Day weekend and then Halloween weekend fundraisers. None of us get paid for this, and all of us have other jobs.

If you’re currently looking to adopt, we highly recommend reaching out to the Humane Society, but also our friends at Feral Cats Count. They do incredible work and have cats looking for homes.

Meet Greta! She’s a FiV/felv negative 3 month old little girl from a colony in Mystic that is looking for her forever home. She was trapped solo, so she is a little spooked and needs a forever home to convince her she’s wanted. She has 6 toes on each paw!! A polydactyl!

She’s currently up to date with vaccines, but not yet spayed.

If you’re interested, reach out here, or fill out an application on feralfelines.org

Up for adoption! Poppy/Coral. She’s a young sweet female who has been vaccinated and tested and is ready for her forever home. She does have her brother with her and it would be lovely to see them go together, but is not necessary. Fill out an application at feralfelines.org

Up for adoption! Barney. Scheduled to be neutered before he’s adopted and he is all up-to-date with his vaccines. Fill out an application at feralfelines.org !

Say hi to Mr. Adorable! (Name is not a forever name). He was an outdoor kitty who was too sweet to send back out when we neutered him and he had a home that fell through (at no fault of his own!). He is super sweet and loves being around people and having lap time. He is neutered, tested negative for FiV and FELV, and all up to date on vaccines! Please reach out and fill out an application at feralfelines.org

We would love to see him in a forever home for the holidays!

Meet Pavarotti! He was given his name by his colony caretaker because he is vocal little guy. He has lived outside with a colony for quite a while now, but clearly wants to be in somebody’s home. The caretaker of his colony has told me that he tries to sneak in the house every chance he gets, but they just simply do not have the space for him.
He is neutered and vaccinated, but when we neutered him, we didn’t ear tip him because we knew that he deserved a loving home. He loves other cats and is such a sweetheart and just wants a place to cuddle and call home.
It’s hard to tell what his exact age is, but he’s definitely over a year old but younger than five.

We hope to get him into a loving home before winter sets in so that he doesn’t need to spend another winter outside when he truly wants to be an indoor kitty cat. If you haven’t had the honor of owning an orange kitty cat, you’re missing out. Fill out an application on our website feralfelines.org

Colby and Feta are still looking for their forever home! Spayed/neutered and up to date on vaccines for the year, these two siblings were trapped a bit later in life so it took them a bit longer to get out of their shell, but they are great with other cats and with adults or older children!
They need a dog free (or quiet dog) home where they will get love! Colby is a boy, and Feta is a girl. Adopt fee is $200 ($100 each) which is SO inexpensive when you look at the cost of the veterinary work already done. They are sweet babes who just don’t understand why they don’t have a forever home yet.
