My story

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

Silverado is a super sweet, super shy guy who needs lots of love and time to blossom! He is mostly blind, but his foster parents suspect he can see some shadows. He is extra suspicious of noises, people and general movement around him so although he is happy to coexist with his humans, he is not entirely comfortable being petted yet. He gets around the apartment surprisingly well and he is playful but only when he thinks no one is watching! Silverado has taken to waiting by his food dish each morning for his breakfast and has finally gotten comfortable enough to eat out in the open with his foster family sitting nearby. Although he struggles to trust, he just needs someone to be patient and give him space to adjust to his new forever home. With time, he will show his true colors and be able to love and be loved back without fear!

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.
