My story

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

Ashford is a gentle, soulful cat with a quiet charm and a story of resilience. He may be shy at first, but once he feels safe, his affectionate, funny personality (complete with a little 'tude) begins to shine.

A perfect day for Ashford is calm and predictable: lounging in a cozy spot, accepting gentle pets, and keeping a watchful eye on his people. He enjoys companionship without being demanding and would be happiest in a peaceful home where he can relax and feel secure.

From his foster:
“He was shy at first, but once comfortable he likes pets and shows his funny side. He’s living with a teenager now and does well with older kids.”

Ashford’s story:
Ashford was found on Ashford Street in East New York in critical condition, barely surviving and unable to eat. After rescue, he received a much-needed dental and medical care — and the transformation has been remarkable. His glow-up reflects not just better health, but a renewed spirit.

He’s a low-key companion who prefers a calm environment and would do best as a solo cat, as he can be a bit *ahem* snobby to other cats. Ashford is FIV positive, which simply means he should live indoors and receive routine vet care. Many FIV+ cats live long, happy, normal lives.

Ashford is neutered, vaccinated, flea- and parasite-free, and FeLV negative. Ashford would be a wonderful match for someone looking for a mellow, loving companion with plenty of life left to enjoy.

Additional adoption info

Interested adopters first fill out an adoption application, after which they can visit our animals in their foster homes. If they would like to adopt and their application is approved, they then complete an adoption contract. We also ask for an adoption fee to help us continue our work.
