Origins

The Community Cat Connection, Inc. was established in 2003 by Trudy Charette to provide Dudley, Webster, Oxford, and surrounding communities with a viable option for control of the feral cat population. Since its inception, over 1,000 cats and kittens have been rescued. In addition to this much needed service, the CCC also provides assistance in the placement of kittens and cats which have been abandoned, surrendered, and rescued.

Our Mission Statement

The Community Cat Connection operates and maintains a community-based no kill cat rescue and shelter to benefit cats which have been abandoned, abused, and are at risk for starvation, disease, and overpopulation. We strive to educate the public to the benefits of spay/neuter, low cost veterinary care, and alternatives to euthanasia. Additionally, to facilitate public awareness through workshops and programs.

Services Provided

The Community Cat Connection offers the following services:

Trap feral cats if necessary and have them spayed/neutered, so they may be released in accordance with proper trap and release laws
Assist with placement of abandoned and surrendered animals due to household moves, thus finding them proper homes so they are not left behind to live on their own
Rescue pregnant mother cats and abandoned kittens, affording them proper medical care and homes
Assist with the placement of feral cats and kittens in finding forever loving homes
Follow-up on all cats and kittens adopted, assuring they are spayed/neutered if not done prior to adoption

VOLUNTEERING

The CCC relies entirely on volunteers for foster homes, cleaning, feeding, cuddling, fundraising, and yard sales. We are especially in desperate need of RELIABLE morning volunteers for the 9 to 11 AM and 11 AM to 1 PM shifts. If you are interested, then please fill out our application in the appropriate section.

FOSTER HOMES

This is a very important part of our operation. Qualified homes are needed to provide daily care. Socialization, play, food, and most of all, love and kindess. These all lead to a well-adjusted cat which is ready for a forever loving home.
