My story

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

Rubberband Man had a tough start to life on the Brooklyn streets. He was bullied by the other
cats and spent his time trying to warm up to humans walking by. He was finally brought into the clinic after a severe injury in his left armpit.

The best guess is he fell from a fence and sliced open the skin and muscles on the way down.
This injury took many weeks to heal and in the process it became evident he had done
irreversible damage to one of his ligaments in that arm. He walks with a bit of a limp but is not in pain.

This becomes obvious when you see how much he loves to run and play with other cats. He does need to be adopted with a friend because he has tons of energy! One of his
most striking features is his cartoon like facial expressions. He’s very curious and will follow you around your home, investigating what you’re up to. He’s truly the best little sidekick.

Lastly, from his years of living on the street without the best nutrition he has a bit of a sensitive
stomach. He does well with a sensitive stomach diet and probiotics. But will need monitoring to
make sure he’s not having tummy problems.

This cat needs to be adopted with a friend -- applications for them as a single cat will not be answered. Rubberband Man would love to be adopted with his friend Panda, but they do not have to be adopted together.

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.
