Story
Hi, I’m Marianne, I’m an 8 month old tabby. Me and my family were living in the backyard of a house on in the Bronx. We had a feeder who fed us dry food but we all struggled on the street. My feeder was really nice and one day decided a big snow storm was coming and I needed to be brought inside. I am so glad he did. With love and patience I am a sweetheart. You can hold me and pet me and in time I will show you how grateful I am. I was walking around purring in my short term foster home in just a few days. Now I am looking for my forever indoor home. Apply for me today! ##2663880##

Story
Patty is a sweet and fun-loving girl who we think was born in the spring of 2025. She started showing up at a feeding spot in Fall 2025 and we were finally able to trap her just before the big snowstorm in January. She warmed up and got chatty right away which makes us think she was once someone’s pet. We don’t know how she ended up on the street but we’re happy she’s cozy inside once more! Patty is a little shy at first and loud noises can scare her a little but once she warms up she obviously delights in affection and attention. She loves nothing more than a play session followed by a Churu. Her fur is silky soft and she loves toys with feathers; what a diva! Patty is very curious about other cats and we think she’d be happy to join a multi-cat family, as long as she is introduced slowly and with patience. She is spayed, FIV/FeLV negative, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and has been de-wormed and treated for fleas.

Story
My daughter rescued mom and dad as babies. We lost a black cat on the surgical table due to some type of cancer prior to rescue them and we were very heartbroken! He was a black cat. When my daughter brought these two kittens from the street we kept them and fell in love (Max and Ruby) When Ruby was going into heat I made an appointment to have my Max neutered, but sometime between the appointment Ruby got pregnant. We wanted to keep them (Pluto and Rumy) until now that they're 7 months but it's impossible for them to roam the house freely due to my dogs that chase them (dachshunds). They're super lovable. Always giving the belly for belly rubs. Pluto loves to be caressed and belly rubs. Rumy Is very gently and docile. They're the perfect cats. We love them and we love having our four black cats but I feel sad for them because it's hard for them to be around the house. I would love for both brother and sister to go together since they do sleep/play together. Hoping we find someone. ❤️
