My story

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

Ethel & Lucy were rescued from the streets of the Bronx at 4-5 months old.

The girls would be best with an experienced cat parent since they have slightly quirky personalities.

Ethel (the dilute calico) is the dominant sister. She is very friendly, active, curious, and playful. She likes to sleep on the bed with her human and LOVES food. Ethel is not a typical “cuddle” cat and she’s not keen on being picked up for more than a few seconds, though she is happy to sit or sleep by your head and get lots of pets and bum scritches. Ethel is not shy about letting you know when she wants to play – an adorable whine and a toy dropped at your feet will let you know it’s time to play fetch.

Lucy (the regular calico), is the smaller, more shy sister. Originally very fearful, she has made great leaps and bounds in the past few months. Lucy is more aloof and is more interested in being pet when she feels like it. Lucy is most interested in getting loved on while her human is a captive audience. Lucy is also not a cuddle cat and can still be a bit skittish – but that just adds to her endearing personality and she will most certainly take her place at the foot of the bed at bedtime. Lucy’s favorite toys to play with are plastic utensils – spoons are her favorite.

The girls have shown to take very well to some cats (adult male) and less well to others (adult female). They have no experience with dogs or children.

The girls may take a while to warm up but with enough patience and understanding they are destined to be the loveliest house cats. Will you be the one to provide the girls with the loving home they deserve?

Lucy & Ethel are a bonded pair and must be adopted together.

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.
