About

Meet Saffron

Brook, Saffron and Forest all had a rough start in life, but they are ready to be their best selves in a furever home. They are about 5-6 months old (DOB about 7/15/24) and are very playful and friendly. They transitioned very quickly in their foster home from being nervous and a little shy in new surroundings to being comfortable and ready to take on the world!  Brook, the darkest of the three, is the most out-going and the first to greet her foster family at the door. Saffron’s colors are more blended than striped, and she takes a minute to warm up to new people. Forest has classic tabby stripes like Brook, but his coloring is closer to the lighter golds of Saffron. So any way you combined them, they make a lovely set of kittens! They love having people around, playing with interactive toys, and forming kitten puddles for naps. They do well with other cats after some initial, normal hisses, and they have previously lived with dogs. They should be fine with children who understand handling kittens and how to best play with them. They would make a fabulous trio, but can be adopted in a pair or individually (discount for adopting two). They are negative for feline leukemia and aids, had all three distemper and the rabies vaccines, been wormed, had advantage for fleas, and been vet checked and neutered.  Preference will be given to local adopters and to adopters who have a young playmate companion for the kitten. We typically do not adopt kittens less than 6 months old to homes where they will be a solo pet. May be adopted separately or as a pair (discount for two!)  If interested in these cutie pies, please contact Holly at 865-671-4564 or [email protected]  

Adoption Process
Potential adopters are required to complete our application before adoption. Our adoption fee varies based on the age and breed of the cat. The fee includes testing for feline leukemia and aids, the series of distemper vaccines, the rabies vaccines, wormings, advantage so they are flea free when you take them home, a veterinary exam, and the spay or neuter. Microchipping is available for an additional $45. The adoption fee is waived for qualifying adopters interested in one of our sponsored cats. At the time of adoption, adopters must sign a contract indicating their willingness to obtain all remaining vaccinations, treatments, and spay or neuter. If a placement doesn't work out (e.g., a family member discovers he/she is allergic), the animal is returned to the Stray Connection and re-adopted.
