My story

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

This playful boy is ready for his forever home! When found on the streets of Brooklyn he came up to rub on his rescuer’s legs and hopped right in the carrier. Though a bit aloof when he was first taken home, Malibu has made amazing strides in trust and sociability since he has been in foster care. He is very food and treat motivated and can be eased into new relationships and ways of interacting with liberal bribery.

Malibu can be particular about how he is touched by new people, but he’s happy to show affection on his own terms. He’s not shy or timid and will definitely let you know when he doesn’t want you in his space. But once he warms up, he enjoys pets and cuddles and may even tolerate being picked up by those he really trusts.

He is an industrious biscuit-maker and has an adorable habit of kneading with all four paws at once when he's feeling happy and comfortable on a pile of soft blankets. If you can contrive to be lying under a blanket near him when the biscuit mood strikes, he gives an excellent back massage!

Malibu is an energetic cat who is always up for playtime. He loves chasing wand toys, wrestling with toy mice and plushies, and gazing out the window to watch for birds. He often wants to be wherever other people are and would thrive in a home where he can have free rein in a large space when he gets the zoomies.

It takes some time for Malibu to adjust to other cats, but he’s open to making friends if you introduce them slowly.

Because he gets overstimulated at times, he would do best in a home with an adult(s) that knows how to read a cat's body language.

This cat can be adopted as a single cat or with a calm companion.

This is a courtesy listing, meaning the cat(s) are being offered for adoption by a rescuer, rescue group, or individual unaffiliated with the Brooklyn Cat Cafe or Brooklyn Bridge Animal Welfare Coalition. As BBAWC has not evaluated the animal(s) we therefore cannot provide information on health or temperament. After we receive an application, we will connect you with the current caretaker of this cat.

More about this rescue

Our rescue group was formed in December 2007, but all our Board Members have had extensive experience rescuing and working with abandoned animals. We often work with other rescue organizations to find appropriate and safe foster and adoptive homes for our pet clients. We regularly go to areas with abandoned animals and collect them. The animals are taken to a licensed veterinarian examined, treated and spayed or neutered. Every effort is made to work with the animal and our foster and adoptive families to find a suitable forever home.

For those animals who are truly wild and feral, we release the animal in a safe and secure location after it has recovered from its medical treatment. We also work with certified wildlife rehabilitators to rescue injured and orphaned wildlife. Our organization is focused on improving the welfare of the abandoned animals in need of help in Brooklyn. In furthering that goal, our resources are focused on the animals.

Aside from a few minimal overhead costs such as our website and phone services, our entire budget is spent on animal care such as medical and food costs.
