Meet Sonata If you are interested in our kittens and would like to arrange the meet and greet at fosters homes, please complete the adoption application using the following link (copy & paste it into your browser) https://form.jotform.com/82828565257166 or text us for more info at (908) 986-2505 Our cats and kittens are allowed to be adopted anywhere in NYC/NJ/Long Island. Please note, all our kittens under 6 months old are available in pairs only or to the home with another cat/cat friendly dog. Bonded pairs will not be split up. Sonata didn’t have the easiest start to life—she was cruelly abandoned in a closed carrier near the beach in Seagate, Brooklyn. Her cries for help were so loud and desperate that one of our volunteers heard her from a block away and rushed to save her. At first, Sonata was so traumatized she wouldn’t even leave the safety of a blanket. Her foster family patiently hand-fed her, showing her that she was safe and loved. Slowly but surely, she’s begun to trust again. Sonata is a sweet little munchkin who loves to play with the humans and her feline friends. She is now UTD on shots, FIV/FeLV negative, spayed, microchipped and ready to meet her family!

Meet Blacksmith and her brother Jinu! If you are interested in our kittens and would like to arrange the meet and greet at fosters homes, please complete the adoption application using the following link (copy & paste it into your browser) https://form.jotform.com/82828565257166 or text us for more info at (908) 986-2505 Our cats and kittens are allowed to be adopted anywhere in NYC/NJ/Long Island. Please note, all our kittens under 6 months old are available in pairs only or to the home with another cat/cat friendly dog. Bonded pairs will not be split up. Jinu and his sister Blacksmith are now 10 week old. Jinu and his siblings Rumi (girl), Chester (boy), Blacksmith (girl) came to our rescue when they were only 2.5-3 weeks old. We were helping the homeowner to trap/spay/release the new cat, who joined her already fixed cat colony. The trapping went successfully and we send this cat, we named Patches, to the clinic where she was spayed and vaccinated and this was when we received the phone call we usually don’t like. It turned out Patches was a lactating mother and had a litter of kittens somewhere outside. We frantically ran to the location and using all our tricks and tips we were able to locate the litter within a few hours. We let mama to recover after the surgery and reunited her with the babies 24 hours later. Oh how happy she was! Mama Patches and her kittens were being fostered by the family with 3 kids. Mama isn’t interested in the human interaction, but she didn’t mind the foster family to spend as much time as possible with the babies. Now Patches is back to her caretaker, happy and healthy and glad to be around her new cat friends. And the kittens are being spoiled by all the attention they get from the foster mama and her daughters. Rumi and Chester found their forever home and Jinu & Blacksmith are available. They are extremely happy social and playful kittens. They are available in pair only or to the home with another cat/cat friendly dog they can bond with. They are not available for adoption to be a solo pet.

Meet Toonces! If you are interested in our kittens and would like to arrange the meet and greet at fosters homes, please complete the adoption application using the following link (copy & paste it into your browser) https://form.jotform.com/82828565257166 or text us for more info at (908) 986-2505 Our cats and kittens are allowed to be adopted anywhere in NYC/NJ/Long Island. Please note, all our kittens under 6 months old are available in pairs only or to the home with another cat/cat friendly dog. Bonded pairs will not be split up. Toonces is approximately 1 year old affectionate boy, who is now UTD on shots, FIV/FeLV negative, neutered and microchipped. We were contacted by the feral cats’ caretaker, whom we helped in the past to have his cats fixed. He spotted a new cat on his block and immediately wanted to do the right thing and get him neutered. We made a plan and he was trying to put Toonces on the feeding schedule. But suddenly Toonces stopped coming. A few days later we received a frantic phone call. The caretaker informed us that the new boy was sitting in the bushes and we feared the worst. One of out volunteers drove to the location in the middle of the night and she could say Toonces was in pain. She grabbed him and early in the morning we rushed him to the vet. Toonces was hit by the car and had a broken pelvis. He was in a lot of pain, but luckily for him, he didn’t have a deathly injuries. With a lot of care and cage rest, Toonces started to feel better and was begging for love. Toonces turned out to be a friendly silly cat with a lot of energy. He loves people, he loves attention and to be petted, but can get a little overstimulated if you pet him down to his back (not surprisingly after the injury this poor boy had). If you are looking for an adventurous cat, Toonces would be a perfect cat for you!

Meet Mitch aka Catbus & Sweet Howl! If you are interested in our kittens and would like to arrange the meet and greet at fosters homes, please complete the adoption application using the following link (copy & paste it into your browser) https://form.jotform.com/82828565257166 or text us for more info at (908) 986-2505 Our cats and kittens are allowed to be adopted anywhere in NYC/NJ/Long Island. Please note, all our kittens under 6 months old are available in pairs only or to the home with another cat/cat friendly dog. Bonded pairs will not be split up. Mitch and Sweet Howl and their 2 siblings came to our rescue after we were contacted by the homeowner, who was taking care about their feral mom. Their two sisters were getting sick and their caretaker was concerned about them living outside. This was not the only reason unfortunately for the little Mitch aka Catbus. Her mean neighbors didn’t like the fact she was taking care about the family and they tried to use every chance to hurt the boys, who sometimes roamed around their yard. Luckily we had an amazing foster family, who agreed to open the doors for the little family. The homeowner grabbed the girls asap because their eye infection was progressing and one of our volunteers went to the location to trap the boys and their mother to have her spayed and vaccinated. This was when she heard a heartbreaking scream from the neighbors yard. She saw the lady holding Mitch by the neck basically choking to death and it took her less than a second to jump over the fence and pull the kitten from the lady’s hands, picked up Sweet Howl and trapped the mother and we promised the boys no one ever would hurt them again. While Sweet Howl is sweet as a pie and very gentle, Mitch is still going through the mental trauma he received. We are looking for the quiet patient home with the family who would help Mitch to recover, who would help him to fight this fair and would not expect him to become a lap cat. Two brothers adore each other and love to play and run around with their toys, chasing each other. While Howl loves to be petted and cuddled, Mitch is still on a shy side and looks like he is more comfortable with his foster dad than with his foster mom. If you think the brothers are the perfect fit for your family, please complete the adoption application by using the link provided above and their foster family will contact you to arrange meet and greet. We can transport the boys anywhere in NYC/NJ/Long Island areas.

Please note, all our kittens under 6 months old are available in pairs only or to the home with another cat/cat friendly dog. Bonded pairs will not be split up. Meet Mitch & Sweet Howl ? These two handsome brothers had a rough start in life, but they are safe now—and ready to find a forever home together. ? Mitch, Sweet Howl, and their two sisters were born to a feral mama. A kind homeowner was caring for them, but the kittens began to fall ill, and worse—some cruel neighbors were determined to harm them. One day, one of our volunteers rushed over to help, only to hear a heartbreaking scream. She found a neighbor choking tiny Mitch by the neck. Without hesitation, she jumped the fence, rescued Mitch, scooped up Sweet Howl, and trapped the mama so she could be spayed and vaccinated. From that moment, we promised the boys that no one would ever hurt them again. -Sweet Howl is just that—gentle, affectionate, and full of love. He adores pets, cuddles, and will happily curl up in your arms. -Mitch (aka Catbus), on the other hand, is still healing from the trauma he endured. He’s shy, reserved, and may never be a lap cat—but he deeply loves his brother, finds comfort in his foster dad, and is slowly learning that the world can be safe again. The boys are playful, bonded, and happiest when chasing toys or each other around the house. We are looking for a quiet, patient family who can give Mitch the time and understanding he needs, while also enjoying Sweet Howl’s affectionate nature. -They must be adopted together. -Transport available within NYC, NJ, and Long Island.

These 5-month-old bonded sisters are the sweetest example of what true sisterhood looks like. One minute they’re cuddling and playing, the next they’re giving each other a little smack—only to go right back to snuggles and games. Marina and Nova came to our rescue as tiny kittens, just a few weeks old. With the loving care of their mama, they grew into beautiful, social, and affectionate young ladies. They adore people, are wonderfully gentle, and absolutely inseparable—always following each other and crying if they’re apart. These two girls are a perfect pair: playful, loving, and simply irresistible. Whoever adopts Marina & Nova will be gaining double the love, double the joy, and double the purrs!
