My story

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

Looking for the perfect family cat? Well look no further than Gunther! This go with the flow guy can curl up for some snuggles, provide endless entertainment with his playful antics or chill out solo and let you have your space -- he can really be it all!

Gunther loves a bedtime book -- if he gets to walk over the book to get some pets! (Err, “to help you find Waldo!”) When he's not rubbing on our legs or sitting close for some cuddles, Gunther can be found investigating your cupboard, getting a little playtime in or finding the warmest spot on the floor. He also ADORES children.

Found on the street in terrible condition, this love muffin has transformed into a soft, fluffy, happy healthy guy and we just love him to pieces! (And know you will too!).

This cat would prefer to be adopted alone and be the only cat in the home.

This cat is FIV+ and will live a normal healthy and long life when provided with quality care such as a balanced diet and yearly wellness exams (like any cat). As FIV+ is not transmittable between neutered/spayed cats under normal circumstances, we are happy for FIV+ cats to mingle with FIV- cats in their adoptive homes (but Gunther would prefer to be alone!). 

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.
