My story

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

Cry Me a River is a sweet orange boy who loves his people, crunchy treats, and cozy blankets. 12 out of 10 perfect loaf. Currently hoarding all the orange cat brain cells. His fosters think he perfectly understands English and possibly other languages too. He has white socks and a perfect cinnamon roll swirl on his right side.

Cry Me a River would be a good work from home buddy or will patiently wait for his people to be home so he can quietly chill in the same room. He was rescued from outside but was clearly raised indoors. As such, he’ll start off as a very polite house guest for a week or two before he realizes a home can be permanent.

This orange boy’s endearing quirks include keeping his tongue stuck out, scooping his dry food out of his bowl with his paw to eat off the ground instead, resting under coffee tables, and loafing, loafing, loafing. Some of his favorite things include cat TV, catnip, and wand toys.

Cry Me a River needs family who can patiently give him just a bit of time to warm up and trust but can be won over with crunchy treats and butt scritches. Once comfortable, he’ll happily sleep in bed with you and just wants to know what you’re up to and where you are. He’s comfortable with more than a few people hanging out at home and doesn’t run away or hide.

Cry Me a River was rescued with dental issues and is in need of surgery. We would be thrilled for a potential adopter to provide a larger adoption donation (between $250 and $400 total) and/or assistance crowdsourcing funds towards their necessary vet bills if possible.

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.
