My story

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

Meet Mamasita, a 6 year old resilient lady searching for a forever home after living a challenging life on the streets.

Mamasita is a survivor. This resilient kitty lived on the harsh streets of Brooklyn with CH (Cerebellar Hypoplasia) having to fend for herself and her multiple litters of kittens all on her own. Because of this, she is so grateful to be indoors and will shower you with love by showing off her belly & asking for pets.

Mamasita has Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH), which causes her to wobble and sometimes fall. However, this doesn't hinder her spirit. Cerebellar Hypoplasia is a congenital condition in cats that is neither painful, progressive, nor contagious. Cats with CH do not require any additional medical care and have the same average life span as a cat without CH. CH cats are your average every day cat, just a little wobbly!

Some CH cats need some special accommodations to get around, Mamasita is one of them. She will need carpeted floors (you can also use yoga mats or anything else that helps with traction), a lower litter box, and elevated food bowls. We are happy to answer any additional questions you have about her condition and the accommodations she may need.

Mamasita does get along well with other cats and would be the perfect addition to any home looking for a very special kitty!

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.
