Cats for Adoption in Portland, Connecticut

Ellas Feline Rescue Mission

Ellas Feline Rescue Mission is a No-Kill rescue devoted to the welfare of cats in the Greater Springfield area. Our mission is to give homeless cats the love and care they deserve, through appropriate vet care, rehabilitation where needed, and finding loving Forever Homes that are committed to meeting the needs of a particular cat for the duration of its life.We are particularly committed to helping the most vulnerable cats, those whose medical or behavioral needs would lead to euthanasia or dying a painful death if abandoned. We also have a strong commitment to preventing further homelessness and abandonment, through helping pet owners access spay/neuter services and community vet care, providing behavioral support to pet owners who are struggling with challenging behavior, and making the surrender process as easy as possible.EFRM was started by a husband-and-wife team who is passionate about animal welfare. We have been involved in animal rescue, both individually and together, for nearly 20 years. We decided to take our rescue work a step further and begin our own mission in response to the overwhelming number of homeless cats that have come through our property alone.We were inspired to take action primarily by our adopted cat, Eden, whose life we literally saved when she showed up on our porch in deplorable condition. An underlying medical condition led to skin problems, digestive problems, and severe inflammation of the mouth and she had been in constant pain after being abandoned to a life outside. With proper vet care, a lot of patience and affection, and a safe place to live, she has blossomed into a healthy, playful, affectionate cat.Edenâs story is sadly not unique. Many cats are abandoned to painful and fearful lives on the streets. We are committed to meeting the unique needs of every cat we are able to care for. We value individual lives and are committed to a No-Kill mission. Our name is in honor of our beloved cat, Ella, who passed away on December 2, 2021.

Meet Strype

Strype is a calm and loving 15-year-old girl who brings a quiet, comforting presence. With her soft fur and gentle spirit, Strype is the kind of cat who makes every space feel more peaceful just by being there. She can be a little shy at first, but once she feels safe, Strype is very affectionate and enjoys being brushed, petted, and spending time with her people. She especially loves quiet moments curled up with her brother Tom and sister Sparkle—they’ve been together their whole lives and share a very special bond. Because of their lifelong connection, Strype, Tom, and Sparkle must be adopted together. They’re a perfect trio for anyone looking for loving, well-mannered companions who will fill your home with warmth and affection.

Adoption Process

Once all parties feel a good fit is lined up, potential adopters meet the cat or cats . At that point, the adoption can be completed. Fees vary based on age and health status. Kittens under 6 months are $300 ($550 for a pair); Cats from 6 months to 4 years: $250; 4-8 years: $200; 8-12 years: $100- $150, depending on age and overall health; over 12 years: $0-$100, depending on age and health needs.
