Animals in Distress Cat Shelter in Wilton, CT-About Us!

 Animals In Distress is a non-profit organization staffed solely by volunteers who are at the shelter no less than twice a day, every day of the week. Our volunteers participate in the feeding, cleaning and general duties of care associated with providing an environment of love and well being to our residents. The more cats we can find homes for, means there is more room to take in other cats in need and from large shelters.


Animals In Distress is dedicated to the care and placement of homeless cats and kittens on a year round basis. At Animals In Distress our cats are not ordinarily caged and there are no time limits placed on residency. We'll never "put down" for any reason other than a severe health problem or quality of life issue for the cat. Our mission at Animals In Distress is to provide a safe haven at all times, rescue and place stray or abandoned felines in loving homes. Cats who are truly in distress are our first priority. When we have room, we also take in felines from individuals who no longer want or can be responsible for their feline companion. In either case, unless the animal's medical history is known and documented, new additions are brought to a veterinarian for FIV and feline leukemia testing, rabies, distemper vaccinations, and when necessary - spaying or neutering procedures.
