Better Days Rescue Fund is a special needs cat sanctuary and rescue funded by charitable donations from the public. We specialize in giving second chances to cats that other local shelters and rescues cannot adopt out.

Our Mission

Our mission is to bring better days to abandoned, unadoptable cats with special needs.

We are a small but mighty group of volunteers based in Roxbury, CT, dedicated to improving the lives of abandoned cats who have survived brutal weather conditions, injuries and starvation by bringing them into our sanctuary, healing their wounds and earning their trust.

We help local animal rescues and shelters by providing an alternative to euthanasia for cats they have been unable to adopt into forever homes.

Please consider making a tax-deductible charitable donation today!

What We Do

Typically, the main focus of shelters is adoption and turning cats over as quickly as possible. We are different.

Our main focus is returning physically and emotionally damaged cats to health. We have blind cats, deaf cats, cats with missing limbs, and cats with chronic illnesses like diabetes, and FIV.

These are cats that rescues have tried to place for adoption, but no one would take them due to their chronic conditions. Facing euthanasia, we are their last resort. We provide them with a cat-centered sanctuary to live out the remainder of their lives in comfort.
