My story

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

Niobe can't wait to become the queen of her own domain! 

This little lady is cautious in new situations and with new people, although she can be easily bribed with Churu and soft conversation. She loves gentle pets and will lean into your hand purring loudly if you hit the right spot under her chin or ears.

She likes to spend her mornings birdwatching and her afternoons snoozing. She’ll sprawl and stretch out in a place she feels safe, like a fluffy comforter on the bed, or in the tub on a hot day. She likes batting toy mice around and pouncing on them, getting silly like a kitten.

When she's accustomed to her surroundings, she is a curious girl who likes to explore, and she listens when gently reprimanded if she's getting into mischief. She understands boundaries! So, it's only fair she expects the same of her people. She's a great communicator, both with her wide range of vocalizations and her body language. 

She enjoys the company of humans and will generally hang out in whatever room they are in. But she's not needy or demanding about it. She's not a picky eater, although she likes when you sit with her at feeding time. 

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

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.
