Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Shy beautiful pantherMontana was living on the street until his feeder and a volunteer with the rescue trapped him and brought him to the rescue. He is is shy at first but once you gain his trust he is very affectionate and loving. He loves to make biscuits, get pets, climb cat trees, and eat treats. He likes to play with teaser toys. He gets along with other cats and is not at all a dominant male. Montana is a lover, not a fighter. He still hides from people with loud voices and when more than a few people are in his living area. He would do best in a quiet home. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 26, 2025, 10:21 am

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 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.
