About Cat Connections NYC
Our mission is to place the cats in our foster care into permanent homes and foster families across the city. We strive to improve the lives of every cat in our care by socializing them and matching them with a proper home.
Transforming lives
Our Cats Looking for a Home
Each of our cats comes with a unique story and personality.
FOSTER A CAT WITH CAT CONNECTIONS NYC
Want to change the life of a cat or kitten forever? Think about becoming a foster.
Fostering is caring for a kitty in your home while they wait to be adopted. Whether your home is small or large, you live alone or have other animals, we have cats and kittens who need your help and will thrive under your care.
We do not run a shelter, so all of our cats and kittens are fostered in volunteers’ homes until they are adopted. Fostering is incredibly rewarding and a great way to help cats or kittens without a lifetime commitment.
If you’ve never had a cat or don’t know if your existing animals will get along with a new foster friend, don’t worry. We will guide you every step of the way. Our goal is to provide you with the support to make sure everything goes smoothly for you and the cats/kittens in your care. We cover any medical costs that may occur, and all cats are vetted before they come to your home.

I really admire what Lenka does. I had the chance to ask for her help in three different situations: an old cat who had lived on the street for 10 years, Blakie; a kitten with only a few hours to live, Hero; and a dumped deli cat, Carmen. She stepped in, and all three now have their furrever families.

Cat Connections was amazing at taking the time and care to help us find the best cat for us. You can tell they really care about finding forever homes for cats and they did a great job with our sweet angel.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Cat Connections NYC, and I couldn't be more grateful for their help with Kitten name Tao! This amazing group went above and beyond to ensure Tao's safety and well-being. The team is knowledgeable, caring, and passionate about their work. If you're looking to adopt, I highly recommend Cat Connections NYC. Thank you for helping Tao!
