Our grandmother loved these cats with all her heart. She did her best to care for them after bringing them in off the street 10 years ago as kittens. Grandma had a beautiful bond with the boys, and they deserve another human or humans to love on them in their old age. If you’re interested in adopting or meeting Claude or Jordan, contact sarahdobjensky@gmail.com or mdobjensky@gmail.com.
First, the big boy. Claude is a tank. He's by far the largest cat I've ever seen, maybe the largest animal period. His neck is the width of a human thigh. He's always been chonky, but he ballooned when he was brought inside full time a few years ago. Our grandmother wasn't very mobile so Claude has been free-fed without any exercise, and it shows. He'll be very amenable to an exercise program though because he loves to play! All you need is a shoelace and an arm and you'll have this guy running laps and having a blast. Claude is your sweet uncle who entertains everyone at your party with his jokes and stays after the other guests have left to help clean up. He will jump up on furniture to be eye-level with you, and stare into your soul to see how you're doing. Once you're done connecting, he'll follow you around until you give him some good hard pats on the butt, at which point he'll completely lose his mind. He experiences such ecstacy from these pets that you might blush and feel like you should look away from this private moment. But Claude is proud of who he is. He loves his humans hard and lives to receive love in return.
He has lived with other cats before and may be accepting of another cat with slow introductions. If you're looking, his current housemate Jordan is also available for adoption. Since Claude loves to be the center of attention, he would be extra happy in a larger household. Claude is a noisy cat. He doesn't meow a lot, but he snores louder than some humans. His purr sounds like Predator. He also does a lot of grunting and... slurping? when he tries to wash himself. It's part of his je-ne-sais-quoi.
In conclusion, Claude is obese, loud, stinky (did we mention that? His breath is not great). You may be thinking, at least he has his health! Unfortunately this is where we should mention that he has FIV, so he'll need to stay an indoor-only cat. He is asymptomatic and otherwise healthy and up to date on vaccines, etc. and he doesn't require any daily medications. FIV is not transmittable to humans or other animal species, and FIV cats can live long and healthy lives. However, they are more susceptible to infection than other cats, so you'll want to consult a vet if he shows signs of illness (just like with any other cat).
Jordan is not as large as Claude, but he’s still robust. He wears a permanent scowl that makes him look like he was once a member of the mob. But don’t let the ear tip and mean mug fool you: he has the soul of a failed poet. Jordan is timid at first. He startles easily, and can be hesitant around new people, especially men. Unlike Claude, he won’t be in the middle of the party. But once you earn his trust and respect, he’ll melt into the snuggly kitten that he is. He loves belly rubs, chin scratches, and long talks about the meaning of life. He loves to greet you when you come home and purr next to you on the couch.
Occasionally, Jordan’s past life in the mob returns to haunt him, and he feels the need to flaunt his alpha nature. Jordan can’t live in a house with cats other than Claude. These two have a sweet Ernie and Bert dynamic that transcends history and colony. While both cats would be happy to be adopted together, they would also do fine in separate homes.
Jordan is too busy contemplating serious issues to entertain you with silly string and spring toys, but he will rid your home of any vermin. He loves to play outside, and he’s an excellent hunter. He’s used to spending most of his days outdoors and his nights inside and he does NOT have FIV, so he would make a wonderful working cat for someone with a barn or ranch, or anyone with a need for pest control. Lastly, have you seen his belly? Please see the photos of his haute couture pelt. And yes, after you buy him dinner, you may be allowed to stroke the belly fluff.

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.
