Kitty Connection, Inc.

Kitty Connection, Inc. is a Medford nonprofit animal rescue that cares for cats in need and raises money to cover their medical treatment. Its fundraising appeals cover animals with serious health needs, such as a kitten receiving heart care since she was six weeks old who needed specialized surgical support for her spay, and a three-year-old cat recovering from eye surgery for entropion. Donations go toward surgeries, echocardiograms, bloodwork, medications and follow-up care.

Beyond hands-on rescue, the organization is active in animal welfare advocacy. It encourages supporters to contact members of Congress about legislation such as the COMPACT Act, a bipartisan bill aimed at ending federal funding for cruel biomedical testing on dogs and cats, and to urge senators to oppose measures that would allow extreme confinement of farm animals. Its updates explain each issue and give supporters concrete steps for speaking up.
