My story

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

This incredible girl has been through so much, yet her heart is still full of love to give. When she first arrived in her foster home, she was malnourished, sick, and caring for three tiny babies — who, despite all efforts, didn’t survive. Heartbroken and confused, she was soon introduced to four orphaned kittens found abandoned in a trash can. After a quick sniff of each one, she immediately began grooming them, taking them in as if they were her own. Her selflessness and love saved their lives.

It was clear from the start that Peanut Butter had been mistreated in the past. She was extremely skittish around people and took time to trust her foster. But with patience and kindness, she has made incredible progress. Now, she enjoys gentle head scritches — on her terms. She always gives a little sniff of a hand first, and if she nudges against it, that’s her way of saying, “Yes, I’d like some love now.” She will show her appreciation by flopping over and making you some air biscuits!

Now that her foster kittens have all grown up, she’s started to enjoy playing! She loves batting at chaser toys and has been spotted pouncing on stuffed toys as well.

She would do best in a quiet, patient home with someone who understands that trust takes time. She’s an affectionate soul who wants nothing more than to be loved but needs a person who will let her set the pace. Because of her past, she would thrive in a kid-free home where she can feel safe and secure.

If you’re looking for a sweet, resilient cat who just needs a little patience to blossom into the loving companion she longs to be, Peanut Butter may be the perfect match for you. 

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.
