My story

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

Jane is a beautiful, full bodied female cat whose coat is black and white (majority white), approximately 7-8 years of age. Jane came from humble beginnings as a kitten born on a block in Brooklyn New York, to becoming queen of the house. Her owner would place food in his backyard to feed the neighborhood cats. Jane would come right up to his back door and hang out with him and eventually, entered the house. Jane became the center of his world. Her connection to him amazed everyone. They watched television together with her either in his lap or placing herself on the back of his favorite chair with her head on his shoulder. Jane’s wellbeing was so crucial to her owner that in his final written direction to family was "Feed My Cat".

Jane appreciates sleeping on the bed, at times choosing to stay at the foot like a guardian angel. If she decides she wants to share your pillow or get under the covers, a deep meow or long purring sound is what she does to make her desires known. Jane at special moments, may lick your hand, tuck her head in the small of your armpit or place her head close for kisses between her ears. Jane has amazing eyes. When she stares into your eyes, it is as if she is connecting with you on a deep personal level.

Jane does not like to be carried about nor too much stroking on her back. On occasion, a little "Love Nip" might be given, but with no malice intended. When she wants her space, Jane goes to her favorite hiding spaces. But once she knows your schedule, you are almost always guaranteed a warm welcome home as well as direction to what her needs are (food, water, telling you about her day, wanting you to sit down). Needing to know where you are, be prepared to be followed around.


Her owner's family was driven to make sure that she have the best years of her life ahead. Their wish is that Jane be treated with love and respect tempered with patience and empathy. Entering into a new relationship takes time. We know that the moment mutual love between Jane and her new family will be well worth the wait.

Jane is FIV and FeLV negative, spayed, and up-to-date on shots. She has had a recent teeth cleaning with some extractions. Jane has been the solo feline previously and we don't know how she feels about other cats. Email adopt@kittykind.org to apply!

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.
