My story

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

Broccolini is a sweet boy who enjoys being pet, playing with toys, and cuddling up to watch warm, heartfelt movies - no loud or scary sounds or voices please. He is affectionate, likes to chat, and isn’t shy about meowing (with the volume up!) for pets when he’s feeling lovey. He hasn’t shown interest in being a lap cat. Rather, he’s a curious bird and squirrel watcher through the window, a closet explorer, a yoga stretch ninja, a catnip mouse chaser, an apartment furniture obstacle course runner, and a soft blanket napper. Broccolini can be shy and quite cautious at first, but once he’s feeling comfortable and confident his endearing personality emerges over time. Extra patience and tender understanding is needed for this currently underweight kitty who stopped eating for a time after having to leave his previous home/”owner”. Now Broccolini meows enthusiastically for breakfast and dinner, no problem. A lingering cough that could be related to this sensitive kitty’s stress from relocating is something to keep an eye on. He is also healing from a few injuries where his fur is growing back in. Listening to soulful music puts him in a relaxed mood. English singer-songwriter and guitarist James Bay for one, seems to be his vibe. 

This cat can be adopted with a friend or as a single cat.

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.
