The primary goal of Stray Connection is to make the best possible match for each cat adopted to ensure both the cat and adoptive family are happy and committed to a long term relationship.
We typically do not do same day adoptions. Potential adopters are required to complete an application, and information will be verified as quickly as possible. You may request an application by emailing hhfrey1@tds.net. At the time of adoption, adopters must sign a contract indicating their willingness to obtain all remaining vaccinations, treatments, and spay or neuter. If a placement doesn't work out (e.g., a family member discovers he/she is allergic), the animal is returned to the Stray Connection and re-adopted. The Stray Connection will consider out of state adoption if the adopter is a very good match for the cat (and therefore unlikely to return) and is willing to pick up in Knoxville; however, preference is given to local adopters. Generally, we prefer not to adopt kittens to homes without a playmate/companion (i.e., another cat or dog who is not crated during the day).
