My story

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

Meet Coat Check Chester, the inquisitive and friendly cat. He might seem a bit shy initially, but soon enough, you'll catch him trailing you around the apartment, keen on getting some head scratches. He adores head and chin scratches. If he needs space, he'll give you a little paw tap, signaling it's time to back off. While he's not the biggest lap cat, you'll often find him settling as close to you as possible. His preferred method of companionship is sitting nearby, tail curled around his front paws.

Coat Check loves playing chase when he has the zoomies. He also loves bird toys, springs, cardboard, and strips of paper. He is also a fan of laser pointers. 

He loves to show his happiness by stretching, rolling on the ground, and showing his belly (but only showing, no touchies!). He is a pro biscuit maker once he's settled in as well. He isn't much of a climber, and prefers to crawl around under things. In general, he stays in the open and isn't much of a hider. He got used to exploring his foster's apartment on the very first day he was there. He is also very well behaved, and doesn't really knock things over or destroy them. He is very comfortable around strangers (as long as they supply scritches). 

Some things that make Coat Check happy: a cozy blanket for napping, laser pointers, mealtime, scratch-friendly surfaces, and his signature move – a double cheek rub followed by a subtle request for head scratches. 

Coat Check can go to a house with a friend, or an active household that can keep him entertained!

This cat can be adopted with a friend or as a single 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.
