My story

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

Delulu is a good natured rapscallion with a suitably adorable wild-eyed look. She enjoys playing with lure toys and will walk off them once they are defeated. She must have good vision because she also enjoys watching her foster’s mouse cursor on screen and will eagerly watch basically any video or motion on screen. It is very amusing to see what catches her eye (John Oliver’s hands are a real hit). 

As she has settled in she has gone from wanting lots of cuddling and pets to mostly wanting playtime and undisturbed naps. She can be a bit surprising because she switches quickly from purring and accepting pets to slapping. This is easily redirected to a toy and doesn’t leave a mark, especially with her nails trimmed. Likewise she loves to sleep in bed right next to her human -- but hands off or you most likely get slapped. She does like to sit on her human’s lap (especially to get a good look at the computer screen) and is okay to be picked up briefly.

Delulu eats Friskies Shreds Ocean Whitefish and Tuna and enjoys Temptations treats. She is a bit shy around strangers but warms up quickly with some playtime. She is not a powerful cat so it is easy to trim her nails or get her in the carrier, though she will deploy a devastating whimper. Otherwise Delulu doesn’t seem to meow but makes little trills especially while she plays. Though she enjoys daily playtime she also sleeps much of the time, so she is very manageable to take care of.

This cat would prefer to be adopted alone and be the only cat in the home.

More about this rescue

Our rescue group was formed in December 2007, but all our Board Members have had extensive experience rescuing and working with abandoned animals. We often work with other rescue organizations to find appropriate and safe foster and adoptive homes for our pet clients. We regularly go to areas with abandoned animals and collect them. The animals are taken to a licensed veterinarian examined, treated and spayed or neutered. Every effort is made to work with the animal and our foster and adoptive families to find a suitable forever home.

For those animals who are truly wild and feral, we release the animal in a safe and secure location after it has recovered from its medical treatment. We also work with certified wildlife rehabilitators to rescue injured and orphaned wildlife. Our organization is focused on improving the welfare of the abandoned animals in need of help in Brooklyn. In furthering that goal, our resources are focused on the animals.

Aside from a few minimal overhead costs such as our website and phone services, our entire budget is spent on animal care such as medical and food costs.
