🐾 Purrs & sandpaper kisses to all of our supporters! The Big Give is officially over, but donations will be accepted through Sunday, 9/27 - https://www.thebiggive.org/organization/Animal-Rescue-Connections

Thanks to the support of our amazing ARC community, we are able to say 'YES' to kittens like Little Bit who entered our foster care last week with FIP. He's now receiving the miracle lifesaving treatment he needs and has a chance at a happily ever after. 💕 😻 🐾

🐾 Today, they’re counting on us. Please help us say YES - https://www.thebiggive.org/organization/Animal-Rescue-Connecti...

🐾 Today, they’re counting on us. Please help us say YES - https://www.thebiggive.org/organization/Animal-Rescue-Connections

Your gift to this year's Big Give could mean the difference between heartbreak and hope. When a community cat arrives injured or facing a FIP diagnosis, there’s no time to hesitate. They need help immediately. Not long ago, FIP meant saying goodbye. Today, treatment can give these cats a second chance at life. But that chance comes at a cost.

Your donation today can turn “We wish we could help” into “YES, we can.”

🐾 Meet Imogen — our longest-stay kitty (and she’s ready for forever!) 🐾

Hi, I’m Imogen—a shy little softie with a big “let’s be friends!” heart. I may start out cautious, but once I trust you… watch out—I’m a belly-rub champion! 💛 If we click, I’ll flop down and invite you to pet my lower tummy.

Quick heads-up: if you reach for my upper chest, I may get extra excited and go for a tiny “nibble” of excitement. But don’t worry—I won’t hurt you. My teeth were removed because they used to cause me pain, so I’m safe, sweet, and pain-free (truly!).

I’m a total joy in the home: I love gentle pets, brushing, and I’m also a toy enthusiast. And yes… I’m a top-tier cuddler—the kind of kitty who makes your day better without even trying.

📍 The big thing: Imogen has been in foster care since she was a kitten in 2020—the longest of our hearts. We adore her, but we don’t want her waiting any longer. She deserves a forever home where she can truly relax and be celebrated every day.

🏡 Please consider giving Imogen the forever she’s earned.
If you’ve been looking for a sweet, adoptable companion who will warm up into the best cuddle buddy… Imogen is your girl.

Every kitten with ARC is cared for in a foster home, where they experience the sights, sounds, and routines of family life long before they're adopted. They learn that people are safe, laps are for cuddling, toys are fun, and home is a place to feel secure.

Your adoption doesn't just save one life, it creates an opportunity to save another.
If you're ready to welcome a playful, loving companion into your family, we'd love to help you find your perfect match!
