My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You would never know that this happy, affectionate, adorable little lady had some terrible trauma in her past. Lucy was rescued from a Brooklyn deli with a horrible tail injury. She was loved and cared for by the deli staff, but the injury was too much for them to deal with. A rescuer took her to the vet where she received a tail amputation, antibiotics, and pain meds.

Lucy is now officially retired from working at the deli, and she's looking for a permanent home. She has some minor balance problems, which is common with cats who have tail tail trauma. Like all torties, she has her moods, but they are less frequent than a lot of cats we know, and mostly she's happy to be adored and massaged and fawned over. We think that she knows how lucky she is that she was able to get assistance for her injury, and she's looking forward to a loving home.

Lucy is FIV and FeLV negative, spayed, and up-to-date on shots. Email adopt@kittykind.org to apply!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

All cats and kittens are vaccinated and tested for FELV (feline leukemia) and FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus), and if old enough, are neutered or spayed.
We will ask you some questions about your home and we will be glad to answer any questions you may have. Adopting a pet is a long-term commitment. We ask you to sign the KittyKind Adoption Agreement.
We will always take a cat back FOR ANY REASON. We will also work with you to place her in another good home if (after a period of adjustment) the adoption doesn't work out.
We do ask for a $125 adoption fee to help cover some of our food and veterinary expenses. For certain purebred cats (Siamese, Persian, Maine Coon, etc.), we request a $150 - $300 adoption fee.

More about this rescue

KittyKind is a New York City not-for-profit, no-kill, all-volunteer cat rescue and adoption group. All of us at KittyKind have opened our hearts and homes — and emptied our pockets — to save thousands of cats from neglect or abuse. Every cat we rescue is given food, shelter, medical care, a safe place to lay his or her head and most importantly of all, a reason to purr. We do not believe in rescuing a cat or kitten only to euthanize it if it has a broken leg or needs extended nursing care. We never give up if there is a chance of saving them. We take responsibility for each and every life we save and if a cat or kitten is unadoptable, they have a home with us for life.
We believe that animals are not property to be discarded, disposed of, or killed just for the crime of being homeless or unwanted. We believe that people should be friends, caretakers and protectors of animals. We believe that we must take responsibility for the life of every animal we rescue who through no fault of their own, is abandoned, sick, disabled, old or unable to care for themselves. We are dedicated to relieving their suffering, providing food, shelter, medical care and comfort until we can place them in a safe and loving home.
