Today, a little tuxedo kitten named Perry is snuggled up next to a family of his own – but where he was first found on the streets of Middletown, his story could have gone very differently. Luckily, a lot of good people were looking out for Perry and his family, as they do for lots of other local pets in need!
It began the way so many stories do — with a call to animal control about a mother cat and her three tiny kittens in need of care. From there, a network of compassionate people stepped up and gave them hope. Local animal control brought these kittens into their care and, knowing they’d need a fair amount of medical treatment prior to being ready for adoption, gave the Connecticut Humane Society a call.
Thanks to longstanding partnerships between CHS and local animal control departments, Poppy and her kittens Perry, Pearl, and Preston were brought to CHS. Each had the chance to be examined by the in-house medical team, who found them healthy but still too young to be adopted. To give them the time they needed, the little family was moved into a foster home, where Poppy and her foster parents made sure every kitten had the comfort, nourishment, and affection they needed to grow big and strong.
Weeks later, the kittens returned to CHS for their spay and neuter surgeries, vaccines, and final checkups. One by one, they were adopted into loving homes—each adoption the result of teamwork that ensured their path to a bright future.
Stories like Perry’s happen every day thanks to the partnerships between CHS and local animal control departments. Across Connecticut, animal control officers work tirelessly to respond to pets in crisis, often with limited staff and tight budgets. Through these partnerships, CHS supports these departments by providing pro bono medical care, including spays and neuters, specialized surgeries, and other essential treatments.
In the past year alone, 374 pets from animal control were served through this partnership. And the support goes even further: CHS also supplies pet food to ACOs and local rescues across the state, who together received over 89,000 pounds of food last year alone to make sure pets in their communities never go hungry.
When pet-loving community members, animal control officers, volunteer foster families, and CHS work together, pets like Perry find the care, safety, and connection they deserve. It’s proof that collaboration across communities can make all the difference.
