My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Etta was living in the cold in a colony behind a mall in Poughkeepsie where she was proving affectionate and sociable with anyone who fed her. That made her vulnerable!

Since she has been with me she had shown herself to be good natured and gentle. She follows me from room to room and loves to spend the night cuddled up next to me in bed.

Etta is healthy, happy and warm, but unfortunately she is FeLV positive. Currently, though, Etta is in remission and asymptomatic, which is great news! Asymptomatic FeLV positive cats are not likely to be contagious to other cats. Etta, in her rescuer’s home for a year, has remained healthy!

This poor girl has had a struggle but is a beautiful, sweet and loving lady who needs someone willing to take on an FeLV cat or someone looking for a companion for their FeLV cat at home.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

All cats and kittens are vaccinated and tested for FELV (feline leukemia) and FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus), and if old enough, are neutered or spayed.
We will ask you some questions about your home and we will be glad to answer any questions you may have. Adopting a pet is a long-term commitment. We ask you to sign the KittyKind Adoption Agreement.
We will always take a cat back FOR ANY REASON. We will also work with you to place her in another good home if (after a period of adjustment) the adoption doesn't work out.
We do ask for a $125 adoption fee to help cover some of our food and veterinary expenses. For certain purebred cats (Siamese, Persian, Maine Coon, etc.), we request a $150 - $300 adoption fee.

More about this rescue

KittyKind is a New York City not-for-profit, no-kill, all-volunteer cat rescue and adoption group. All of us at KittyKind have opened our hearts and homes — and emptied our pockets — to save thousands of cats from neglect or abuse. Every cat we rescue is given food, shelter, medical care, a safe place to lay his or her head and most importantly of all, a reason to purr. We do not believe in rescuing a cat or kitten only to euthanize it if it has a broken leg or needs extended nursing care. We never give up if there is a chance of saving them. We take responsibility for each and every life we save and if a cat or kitten is unadoptable, they have a home with us for life.
We believe that animals are not property to be discarded, disposed of, or killed just for the crime of being homeless or unwanted. We believe that people should be friends, caretakers and protectors of animals. We believe that we must take responsibility for the life of every animal we rescue who through no fault of their own, is abandoned, sick, disabled, old or unable to care for themselves. We are dedicated to relieving their suffering, providing food, shelter, medical care and comfort until we can place them in a safe and loving home.
