My story

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

Say hi to Pumpkin Dooby! This boy was a stray living in a yard, but it's clear he is no stranger to indoor life. At 10 years, he’s quiet, gentle, and independent, but he’s also quick to trust and is friendly around new people. When that happens you can guarantee he’ll follow you around and even cuddle next to you at bedtime! He’s usually lazy and lounging, but a ping pong ball, or quick flick of a cat wand is a surefire way to ignite his energy. But whether he’s relaxed or on alert, he’s never said no to back scratches and cheek rubs, and absolutely adores the cat brush. His affection is unmatched and would be a perfect fit for your home!

Some Notes:

Likes wand toy, churu
Enjoys pets/scritches/combing (especially his cheeks)
Docile and never aggressive
Very affectionate
On his first day in foster, he already was pretty open to pets, happy to meet new friends
Eats only wet food
16lb

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

Pumpkin Dooby was rescued with dental issues and needs dental surgery. In lieu of an adoption fee, we would be thrilled for a potential adopter to provide a larger adoption donation and/or assistance crowdsourcing funds towards their necessary vet bills if possible.

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.
