Community Cat Connection

PLEASE HELP US GIVE OVERLOOKED CATS A SECOND CHANCE 🐾

SOME PICTURES INCLUDED

The Community Cat Connection is making an urgent, heartfelt appeal to our community. We are a local, entirely volunteer-run charity dedicated to rescuing, neutering, and rehoming outdoor cats. Because we operate without a central facility or headquarters, our entire mission relies on a network of dedicated foster homes and mobile volunteers.
While our kitten adoptions are always a slam-dunk, our adult cats are being left behind, and we desperately need foster homes for them.
These aren't necessarily "senior" cats—they are simply no longer tiny kittens. It is truly heartbreaking to see these gentle, loving adult cats who have suddenly lost everything. Many of them were left behind by owners during a move, got lost and were never reunited, or were orphaned by their aging owners.
Kittens get all the attention, but adult cats are wonderful companions. They are already past the chaotic scratching phase, their personalities are fully developed, and they just want a quiet corner, a warm bed, and a compassionate heart to help them heal.
We are always in need of foster caregivers for cats of all ages, but today, we are making a desperate plea for our adults. By opening your doors, you are rescuing a vulnerable animal from heartbreak and giving them a safe space while we find their permanent home.
🐱 We Provide the Supplies, You Provide the Love!
Don't worry about the cost—we supply everything you need to care for your foster cat, including food, litter, and all medical care. You just provide the safe space and affection.

Spunky - a Lesson in Strength

** Warning: some pictures are graphic

There are some souls who enter our lives not just to share our space, but to show us what it truly means to fight. Spunky was one of those rare spirits, proving that immense courage often beats within the smallest and most fragile of frames. Her story is one that I will never forget.

It all started with a phone call from John, an owner who desperately wanted help for his one year-old cat, Spunky. She had been in a fight with raccoons and had some puncture wounds on her side that had been shaved, cleaned and bandaged at Blue Pearl, just 24hrs prior. Going back there for help was not an option so he was reaching out to us for help.

It was obvious from pictures that the wound was infected and getting worse each day. Spunky’s life was in danger, there was no question, we had to help.

Arriving at John’s house in Neshkoro, I found a very concerned owner and a sweet but weak 8lb cat. John put his trust in me and that was all I needed. I scooped her up and headed directly to the Lakeside Animal Hospital in Oshkosh.

For the next 5wks, Spunky was in the very compassionate & capable hands of Dr. Kyle Ruedinger and the technicians at the clinic. Early on, there were times we weren’t sure if she could beat the infection or if the wound would heal.

But heal it did, Spunky’s resilience and courage paid off!

Special thanks also to Nicole Wendt, foster mom extraordinaire.
