The Animal Rescue Fund (ARF)
is an all volunteer, non-profit, strictly no-kill humane
organization that has been rescuing, spaying/neutering, testing,
vaccinating and adopting hundreds of abandoned animals since
October of 1999.
We make every effort to
rehabilitate and find special homes for animals considered
un-adoptable due to handicap, injury, age, and FIV or Feline
Leukemia positive animals. If an animal is unable to be adopted,
we will provide them a home for life.
Our mission is to provide
funds for the emergency treatment of injured or sick animals
that are stray, abandoned, or of unknown owner. In furtherance of
our mission, we provide educational support and instruction in
the prevention of cruelty to animals. The Animal Rescue Fund
adheres to, and supports, spay/neuter programs. We also support
local, state, and national animal protection laws.
Fostering:
Do you have room in your heart and home to help care for a
homeless pet? Foster homes are desperately needed for animals
awaiting permanent homes. If you would like to help out with
fostering, please call for more information.

Meetings and Adoptions are done by appointment only.
Call 860-739-8625 or email us for a time and date.
At Animal Rescue Fund, we are committed to placing our animals in the best homes possible. Because placing the right animal in the right home is our foremost concern, we do not do same day adoptions.
Our procedure is to review applications, speak with prospective adopters, obtain veterinary and personal references, and do an in-home visit. Generally, and animal can go to its new home with in one week.
- There is an adoption fee of $75.00 ($100 if you are adopting two cats) which covers the first shots and spaying/neutering. We are a non-profit, all volunteer organization and this fee helps to defray our expenses for food, litter, and veterinary care.
- Controlling the pet population is a necessity in reducing the number of unwanted animals. We require that all unaltered kittens adopted from us be spayed/neutered as soon as they are old enough. Females are not permitted any litters whatsoever.
- We will cover the expense of the spaying/neutering when it is done prior to 6 months of age by one of our participating veterinarians.
- We require a $20 deposit per kitten when adopting an un-sterilized kitten from us. The $20 deposit will be returned to you when we receive a veterinarian’s verification that the kitten has been sterilized.
- Failure to comply with the terms of our sterilization policy will result in the forfeiture of the deposit. You will also be required to return the cat(s)/kitten(s) to us, if we notify you that we intend to reclaim it (them.)
- The Animal Rescue Fund retains the right to deny any adoption at any time during the adoption process.
