My story

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

Bryonia Bristol is a special gal. She can be sweet when she wants to be, but also loves to just hang out and watch what you're doing. She's not shy at all, she will follow you around and see what's going on, but if you touch her and she's not feeling it, you'll get a little swat (sans claw). 

She has come out of her shell SO MUCH in the past couple of months, and now pretty much always accepts gentle scritches, leaning into them and closing her eyes (she even lets kids touch her!). 

She needs to be given time to adjust in a new environment, and her adopter should be prepared to let her adjust at her own pace. She should start out in a small space like a bathroom to help her get comfy. Bryonia was recently being fostered by someone with the intent to adopt, and the foster decided to let her out of the bathroom as soon as she arrived home, and wanted to return her twelve hours later because Bryonia was hiding. Within a day, she was out of hiding at the foster's home, but she still wanted to return her.

We know with time she would have come out of her shell so much. Bryonia just needs time and patience in a new environment, and we know she will make the best calm, independent, and beautiful companion. 

Can you give Bryonia a chance?

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

Bryonia had a dental surgery, which was paid for by a generous donor!

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.
