Story
Mylo Oscar Sparkles, named by his foster mom's 3 nephews with each contributing a name, is a five-month-old tabby kitten who is equal parts ultimate wrestle warrior, cuddle bunny, and best friend. It’s hard to have a bad day with Mylo around. This little guy has a gift for making everything better. He’s hilarious, endlessly curious, unbelievably sweet, and absolutely determined to be right in the middle of whatever you’re doing. Hard to believe this most trusting little dude was found crying for help abandoned on a playground in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn! Mylo is a true little buddy. He’ll greet you at the door like a puppy when you come home, follow you from room to room, happily let you scoop him up, curl up beside you on the couch, and wake you in the morning cuddled into your hand and giving it tiny kisses. And when he isn’t cuddling? Mylo is always playing with something, exploring a window, or dragging his wand toy around the house in hopes that someone will take the hint and play with him. To make matters even cuter, he has a tiny voice that sounds remarkably like Babe the pig from the movie. Mylo absolutely adores his foster brother Dougie, who is about five times his size. The two wrestle endlessly, with tiny Mylo fearlessly holding his own, and then turn around and curl up together for a nap. He loves having a feline buddy to play, wrestle, and snuggle with. If you are looking to adopt the most dynamic tabby duo around, Mylo and Dougie would love to be adopted together. Mylo can also be adopted solo if you have a playful kitty already who would do well with an attentive little brother! Mylo is truly a dream kitten: playful but incredibly affectionate, confident but sweet, curious, social, silly, and cuddly. He’s the most lovable little bunny of a cat and the kind of companion who will make you laugh every single day. If you’re looking for a kitten who wants to be your sidekick, your couch buddy, your morning cuddle companion, and your daily source of joy, Mylo is your guy. Mylo is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, negative for FIV/FeLV and has been treated for parasites. Adoption Fee - $175 single cat/$300 a pair.

Story
Theo is a perfect cuddly and playful boy. He’s a tabby and 4 years old that I got from an adoption shelter. He’s healthy with a cute little snaggle tooth. He loves to snuggle and will always be there for you. He’s a funny little chatty guy that will be the perfect addition to a loving home. Theo does well in steady environments with owners that have a predictable schedule. He’s great with kids and small dogs. He’s very chill and loving and will always trail behind you wanting to be next to you. I’m looking for the perfect loving home for him that will always be there for him, play with him, give him tons of pets and make him feel safe and cared for.

Save Time! READ!! Complete an application, fillable on our website!   **Adoption fee is $150.00 first kitten/cat and 50% for the second, includes preventatives. Kitten series vaccines, rabies and spay/neuter and microchip. Kittens over 6 months of age are $50 (no additional discounts) \   **Sneak peek kittens can be viewed on our FB Group CATS Resort. We try to post as much as possible on social media for your selection purposes.   *We only hold kittens (OVER 8 weeks of age) with a full adoption fee paid (non refundable if you cancel) otherwise, we pass up other potential adopters for a "on hold" kitten, only to find out they changed their minds and we missed a window of opportunity. You can submit payment once your application is approved and the kitten has been deemed medically stable.  If the kitten you are interested in is NOT 8 weeks old, we ask that you do not send payment until their medical health has been stabilized.               **Payments can be made through our website.   *Once they reach 3 pounds, they will be spayed/neutered (we pay) and given their rabies vaccine. Once we know when the surgery date is, we ask that you arrange a quick kitten vet appointment per our adoption agreement, we will schedule the finalization) Banister Veterinary Hospital, local to us, 845-331-1050 is very accommodating for this!  We recuperate 2 days post-operatively before medically releasing them to their new FURLESS homes.   *When the adoption process is finalized in person, there is a binding contract that needs to be reviewed and signed. Our contract strongly indicates a vet appointment within four days of adoption. Please make your vet appointment as soon as we are discussing the adoption date, as we do not do diagnostic testing. We provide health records at that time. We do routine immunizations, preventative care for internal and external parasites and treat symptomatically.   *This is a slow process. We are two women and the rescues in our care are priority. Mothers and babies, plus field trapping, being on the road,  fundraising for medical costs, handling social media, emails, calls and more....sorry, please be patient. Messages are responded to in the order in which they were received both method and chronological.   *We can move over to communicating via text (once all is approved) and you are added as a contact in my phone. We BEG you, don’t start multiple modes of communication. It just slows things down looking for the original content in order to be able to respond appropriately. We do not have staff to answer calls. Thanks for understanding!  October 10, 2026, 9:17 pm

Story
My husband and I adopted Mully in October 2014 at the ASPCA in Manhattan. He has been our fur baby for many years, however he is not nice to our 5 year old son. Our son is very afraid of him, and we no longer think it’s fair to our son to have an animal in the house that causes him so much fear. We’d love if he could go to a single person or couple who could love him as much as we have. This decision is not something we’ve taken lightly, and it’s very difficult to think about not having him in our life anymore. He is an indoor cat (although loves going on our screened in balcony or sitting on any open window). He has received shots but is not up to date. He loves playing fetch. He is affectionate with adults but can be mean at times so can’t be with kids. He’s never been with other pets though I don’t think it would necessarily be a bad thing to have a companion.
