My story

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

Matteo was ill with an upper respiratory infection when he was rescued from a feral cat colony.
As he was being treated he let his foster know what a love he is. Matteo is super sweet and playful. He loves snuggling with his foster dog mommy and spending time with his foster cat sister. He enjoys looking outside, playing with his toys and sleeping with his foster siblings.

Mateo was born on May 28, 2023 is up to date with vaccines, neutered, negative for FIV / FELV, and microchipped. He can be seen in his foster home by appointment or on the days he is at Petco Bricktown Way or PetSmart Forest Ave for adoption events.

For more information contact SICAW at 718.948.5623, Mon-Sat, 9am-8pm.

We're based in Staten Island, New York. Home visit required for adoption.
