Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Sundae, a beautiful calico around 4–5 years old, who is looking for a very special foster or adoptive home. She is a playful, curious girl who loves both interactive and independent play, especially when wand toys are involved. Sundae also enjoys gentle affection and particularly enjoys neck and bum scritches, which can quickly ignite her purr powerful motor.
Sundae is a special-needs cat—not because she isn’t wonderful (she truly is), but because she requires a patient, attentive home that can meet her where she’s at. In terms of diet, Sundae has shown signs of allergies, and a chicken-free diet has been very easy to maintain. Medically, Sundae was rescued with an old poorly healed hip injury, so she receives daily pain medication and laxative mixed into her meals to keep her comfortable long-term. Sundae uses a microchip feeder, making her care very manageable once set up.
Behaviorally, Sundae has made incredible progress through dedicated, gentle socialization. Sundae is very shy and sensitive, and her adopter must be comfortable moving slowly, respecting her boundaries, and celebrating small wins. She thrives in calm, predictable environments. Once Sundae feels safe, her personality truly shines (just like her beautiful green eyes!)
One of the most important things to know about Sundae is that she’ll do best with another cat. She gains confidence and comes out of her shell much more when she has a feline companion, especially a friendly male cat. She loves all cats though, and the presence of another feline friend brings her out of her shell to (ironically) seek attention from her people at the same time. (Note: Sundae may be fearful, but she has never shown any signs of aggression.)
Sundae is perfect for someone who:
Has interest in shy or fearful cats and/or is willing to learn
Is patient, observant, and kind
Understands that progress may be slow—but deeply rewarding
Already has a friendly cat or is open to adopting one alongside her
With time, consistency, and companionship, Sundae continues to blossom more every day. She may take longer to trust—but when she does, she’s a truly special friend.

Our cats are almost all in foster homes. Upon approval of your application (including reference check), we will connect you with the foster parent(s) so that you can meet the kitty you're interested in. If it's a good fit, we'll do a home check for safety issues, and then process the paperwork so that you can officially adopt your new family member!

More about this rescue
We are a network of rescuers in Central Brooklyn (primarily in Bed Stuy, Ocean Hill, and Crown Heights) who help each other out. We do both TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return) as well as the rescue and adoption of friendly cats and kittens that we find on the streets. We don't have a physical facility, so our cats are usually in foster homes, or staying with us in our own homes. Our goal is to find loving, permanent homes for all the cats we take off the street, and to make better lives for the ones we return there.
