Happy Paws Kitten Rescue

Happy Paws Kitten Rescue is a licensed organization dedicated to care for, provide medical treatment, and re-home homeless, abandoned, and abused cats in East Tennessee. We are also dedicated to promoting proper care of animals through community education and to strengthening the human-animal bond. All of our cats live in a cage free indoor environment. They are fed a grain free diet and get lots of love and attention. We spoil our fur babies. For every cat that is adopted out, it opens additional room for another life to be saved.
The Stray Connection
(865) 671-4564
Stray Connection is a small organization of private foster homes (no shelter or store-front) that takes in kittens/cats from shelters outside of Knoxville that are typically high-kill, low-funded. These cats are brought to Knoxville where they receive the necessary vet care. Because our cats live in private homes, we know them well. It is our mission to make the best match of the cat's personality and individual needs with an approved adopter.
