a different kind of animal shelter

Forgotten Felines is a private, all-volunteer, 501c3 organization in Westbrook, CT, serving ten towns along the Connecticut River and shoreline. We rescue homeless cats and kittens,  care for them in our no-kill shelter and work to find them loving, adoptive homes. 

pick pumpkin for your match!!

Just look at that darling face! Pumpkin is the last remaining kitten from a triplet trio looking for her new home. As a strikingly beautiful classic calico, Pumpkin is a bit shy at first but quickly warms up to petting and brushing. She loves to play with toys, and really enjoys being around other cats. Pumpkin would prefer to be in a quiet home with no young children or dogs. If Pumpkin is your match, call the Forgotten Felines adoption line at (860) 669-1347 to meet her.
