My story

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

Life only gets better when you have two orange tabby cats in it! Ginger and Chai were born on 7/19/23 to a mom barely out of kittenhood herself, and this was her second litter of 5 kittens.

Chai and Ginger are best buddies, both sweet and affectionate, and each with his endearing charms! Ginger, (darker orange) is high energy, adventurous, and super playful. He loves catnip toys and fuzzy mice, and you’ll laugh out loud when he carries a toy in his mouth, growling at it until he finds a hiding spot for it! He loves people and attention! You might hear him cry in the next room and, when you ask, “Who’s that crying?” he’ll come running to you for love. He’ll follow you into the bathroom and perch on the tub’s edge to watch you shower. He’s a smart boy who makes his wishes known, as when he stands up tall against your legs to let you know to pick him up or pet him. He’s eager to show his love in return, too, with gentle nips of your chin and nose! This sweet boy is a snuggly lap cat, with a big purr engine. Like his brother, Chai (paler orange) is outgoing and social, a cat who adores people and attention. He’ll flop over on his side and expose his belly for a good rub session while making “biscuits” in the air in pure delight. Just a tad less high energy than Ginger, Chai, too, is playful, partial to spring toys and fuzzy mice. Even more so than Ginger, Chai craves attention; he wants you to play fetch with him and give him long petting sessions during the day, then let him sleep against you at night. And, both boys, being teenagers, have their mischievous traits: Ginger might try to sneak out the door, while Chai might try to sneak some of your food! Full of love, these boys are fabulous and must be adopted together.

Both are FIV and FeLV negative, neutered, and up-to-date on their vaccinations. To adopt them, email adopt@kittykind.org.

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.
