My story

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

Dumont is a beautiful marble rye tabby who appeared at a managed colony in Brooklyn on a bitterly cold winter day. He is likely a former indoor cat who was abandoned outside, unequipped to find proper food or shelter. The colony’s caretaker luckily was able to bring him inside to safety and much-needed medical care. 

After all he has experienced lately, Dumont is an understandably cautious gentleman with simple pleasures: all he asks is for a catnip ball, tasty snacks, and a cozy place to curl up (ideally somewhere elevated and soft, such as the foot of your bed?). He sticks to his routine: he plays, he eats, he naps, and once a day, he sings a short ballad for all to hear. He uses his litter box and politely waits his turn for meals. He adores head and chin scratches and will make a wonderful cat for someone looking for a lowkey cat. We expect him to become even more affectionate as he gets more comfortable with your environment and routine. 

He would be perfectly content being the sole focus of your attention and love, but would be okay with a playful, non-threatening cat, as he can be unsure of what to do with other cats. 

Dumont was rescued with dental issues and had surgery. We would be thrilled for a potential adopter to provide a larger adoption donation (between $250 and $400 total) and/or assistance crowdsourcing funds towards their necessary vet bills if possible.

This cat can be adopted as a single cat or with a calm companion.

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.
