Christine Anastos of Arlington, MA is the founder of Connect and Thrive (CAT), a social impact company helping cancer patients, previvors, thrivers, and caregivers access integrative therapies and wellness support. Inspired by her own breast cancer journey, Christine Anastos created CAT to help women obtain healing services often not covered by insurance, including massage, Reiki, acupuncture, yoga, Tai Chi, coaching, and healthy living products.
Through CAT’s innovative KittyFund™ crowdfunding platform, friends and family can contribute meaningful financial support for loved ones during treatment, recovery, and survivorship. CAT also offers a curated marketplace with hundreds of wellness resources and educational tools designed to support mind, body, and spirit.
As demand grows for whole-person cancer care and preventative wellness solutions, Christine Anastos continues expanding Connect and Thrive from Arlington, Massachusetts to a broader national audience. Her leadership is helping redefine how women navigate healing, recovery, and long-term wellbeing through compassionate, accessible support beyond conventional treatment alone.
