My story

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

Kitty is a gorgeous Torbie (Tortoiseshell Tabby!) with an orange paw! She is hilarious, quirky, playful and clingy! She loves to play fetch and leave gifts at your bedroom door overnight. She is just the most wonderful little cat with a sad history.

Her family that had her since she was a kitten fed her a horrible diet and limited her activity- these conditions led to her developing bladder stones which required surgery to remove. When the vet told them she needed surgery, they took her home and brought her to the shelter where she immediately went on the euthanasia list. Luckily, the vet found out and pulled her. They performed the surgery, put her on a prescription diet, and called us! 

Kitty is thriving in foster care. Yes she is on a prescription diet but please don't let that stop you from getting to know her. We will work with you and so will her vet. She is an amazing cat who deserves a second chance but no one seems to want to give it to her! We know she will thank you by leaving all her mousie toys at your door!

More about this rescue

Inspired by the parable of the starfish, Big Apple Cats is dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming cats in need, one life at a time. Our focus is on the quality of rescue, and truly 'making a difference to that one'. Our mission is to find compassionate and caring adopters so that every cat receives the love, care, and second chance they deserve.

We strive to educate the public about responsible pet ownership and the importance of spaying and neutering, while advocating for the voiceless and underserved cats in our neighborhoods. We aim to make a difference—one cat at a time—and to inspire others in our community to start saving 'starfish' of their own.
