My story

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

Meet Domingo! Domingo is a 6-year-old tuxedo who was rescued after being left behind and abandoned in an apartment with other animals, forced to fend for himself for an extended period of time. This experience understandably made him cautious and sensitive to sudden changes in his environment.

He is shy at first and may hide when faced with unexpected movements or loud noises, but with patience and consistency, Domingo slowly begins to feel safe. As trust builds, his playful side emerges, and with humans he feels comfortable with, he shows affection through gentle head bumps—his quiet way of connecting.

Domingo gets along well with other cats in the home and is fully litter box trained. He would thrive in a calm, quiet household with a patient adopter who understands that trust takes time and is deeply rewarding.

Domingo has been through a lot, but he is learning that safety, kindness, and love can exist again.

Domingo is currently being fostered in Staten Island, NY. His adoption fee is $125. To adopt this animal, please visit https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt

All of our cats come spayed or neutered, up to date on vaccines, dewormed, microchipped, up to date on flea and tick preventative, and treated for any ailments found upon veterinary examination. All adults are combo tested; for some litters of kittens who have not been exposed to other cats, only one kitten in the litter may be tested. The adoption fee covers a portion of these services and helps us continue rescuing animals.

For more information on the adoption fees and the adoption process, please complete our adoption application here: https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt - an application allows us to get to know your family better so we can assess whether the animal you are interested in is a good match for your home. An application does not obligate you to adopt. Please understand that due to the volume of applications some animals receive, we are unable to contact all applicants. If your application is considered a good fit for the pet you are interested in, or even a different pet, a volunteer will give you a call as soon as possible.

We are a foster based rescue and do not have a shelter location where animals can be seen during the week. Please see our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LouiesLegacy for our weekly adoption album if you are interested in meeting an animal in person. Not all animals attend every adoption event, please check our Facebook page for animal event times and locations before you make a trip to meet a specific animal.
