Story
Tang was found alone on a sidewalk in Jamaica, Queens. He was dragging his back legs, unable to walk and clearly in pain. He was rushed to our vet, suffering a serious spinal injury that caused partial paralysis. His prognosis was questionable as we were unsure if he would walk again. After 17 days of hospitalization and a lot of human love and interaction, a miracle occurred! He is ready for adoption but still needs to build muscle and get exercise with walking. Through it all, Tang has always been receptive to human love and purrs to express his appreciation.  Tang is PURE PLEASURE!  DOB: 8/1/25    January 12, 2026, 9:28 pm

Story
It breaks my heart to write this but I’ve been battling with rehoming her for awhile. She’s a sweet, loving, affectionate girl that is honestly hilarious and cute as can be. But after I got her fixed she had a hard time with new people. She hates confined spaces and unfortunately I had to move to a smaller apartment with a roommate that is barely here. He’s not that good with cats so I’ve had to keep them separated. She’s usually very receptive to people that are familiar with/ love cats but if you’re not on that tip she can sense it and can’t be extremely scared / reactive to anything. If you’re looking to adopt, you HAVE to be patient. I’ve seen her like someone in days but I’ve also had her take months to get used to someone. And a bigger household really helps too. She tends to get freaked out when someone is walking towards her in a hallway or whatnot. So all in all - an open area with a quiet house is all she is in need of. You get that, and you’ll have a happy life with her.
