My story

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

Obsidian is officially available for adoption (she is currently residing on our second floor space)! She came to us from the city shelter with a pelvic fracture - an injury often caused by cruelty or being hit by a car. We learned that she had been thrown from a window before being brought to the shelter.

Her recovery was touch and go. She needed a skilled staff member to manually empty her bladder three times a day. The day she started peeing on her own was a very exciting day for us, because it meant she had hit a huge milestone in her recovery. 

She was on cage rest for a long time (way too long, in her mind!), and she is so thrilled to be out and about. This girl is friendly, chatty, and playful. She can get overstimulated, and will be sure to gently let you know when she's done playing. We love her so much, and she deserves only the best. 

This cat can be adopted with a friend or as a single cat.

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.
