Cat Connections NYC MISSION
Saving Cats Lives with Connections
At Cat Connections NYC, we help to rescue and protect cats in need – whether abandoned, abused, or living on the streets. We believe that real change happens through connections. By building a trusted network of fosters, trappers, and compassionate cat lovers, we create a united front where shared purpose rises above differences, and every effort makes a difference. Together, we’re not just saving cats – we’re changing how rescue works.
Cat Connections NYC VISION
No Cat Left Behind…
Our vision is a world where no cat is left behind – and where collaboration, compassion, and community redefine what rescue means. We envision a connected network of everyday heroes – fosters, trappers, rescuers, and advocates – working together in harmony, without ego and conflict, to save and uplift feline lives. Together, we aim to build a rescue culture rooted in trust, respect, and shared purpose.

WHAT WE DO
We help to rescue homeless and at-risk cats through a trusted network of fosters, trappers, and advocates, giving each one a real chance at a safe, loving life
Cat Rescue
We are not the traditional rescue, but we help in rescuing cats. In a city like New York, where too many cats are abandoned, abused, or forgotten, we believe that a strong, compassionate network can be the difference between survival and hope.
Cat Adoption & Foster
Our mission is to find committed and responsible fosters and adopters who have the means to provide proper care for our cats, including their veterinary needs. We prioritize placing our animals in safe, nurturing environments where their well-being is a top priority.
Medical Care
We prioritize the health and well-being of every cat we help to rescue. We work with a network of trusted and reliable veterinarians, many of whom we’ve partnered with for years, to ensure that each cat receives the best medical care possible. From routine check-ups to ER, we’re dedicated to giving every cat the care they deserve.
Cat Connections
We believe in the power of community. We’re always working to build and expand our network by connecting with more fosters, trappers, veterinarians, and cat lovers who share our passion for cats. By continually growing our circle of support, we strengthen our ability to save lives and create lasting change for cats in need.

Every cat deserves a loving home, and our organization is making that a reality

HOW WE STAND OUT
We care for senior cats and those with medical needs – the ones most at risk of being euthanized in shelters
Many senior and special-needs cats can live long, happy lives with proper care, and we’re committed to giving them that chance instead of giving up on them too soon.
When we first learned about Oliver, he was locked in a basement by his owner, slowly starving to death. Just days away from not surviving, he managed to escape and appeared outside in the backyard. We had been desperately trying to reach him and find a way to get him out safely. When he finally emerged, we trapped him and rushed him to safety, only to discover the full extent of his suffering – a life-threatening respiratory infection, multiple heart issues, broken teeth, and claws that had painfully grown into his paw pads.
Cat Connections NYC stepped in to give Olivier the life he deserved. We got him immediate medical attention, a foster home, and a care plan tailored to his fragile heart. Today, he’s no longer just surviving – he’s healing, resting safely, and learning what it feels like to be truly loved.
Due to multiple serious health conditions, Oliver is not available for adoption. He will spend his remaining years in the care of a forever foster, where his complex medical needs can be closely monitored and managed. You can still make a difference in his life by becoming his sponsor.
Angel’s story is one of quiet strength and resilience.
She was found after being hit by a car – frightened, in pain, and unable to move her hind legs. Her injuries left her disabled, and for a time, it seemed she might never walk again. But Angel had other plans.
Through daily rehabilitation, gentle stretches, and endless patience, she began to show small signs of progress. Slowly, her determination turned into movement. Today, Angel can walk again – carefully and at her own pace – but every step she takes is a reminder of how far she’s come.
Angel will always need a little extra care, patience, and understanding. Like Olivier, she is not available for adoption due to the severity of her medical condition. You can still play a vital role in her life by becoming her sponsor.

Jimmy is an example of a cat we don’t give up on. He was a senior, abandoned in his final years, and left to survive alone on the streets. The harsh conditions took a toll on his aging body, accelerating organ failure. Despite our best efforts and the care he received, Jimmy eventually passed away – but not before knowing warmth, comfort, and love in his final days. His story reminds us why we fight for every cat, no matter their age or condition.
Watch Jimmy’s Story on YouTube to see his life in a cozy home.
Your donation helps cats like Jimmy to have homes before it is too late.
