My story

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

Madeline is a sweet and affectionate long haired former mom (retirement looks good on her!). She was initially rescued with her kittens in May 2023, and while she showed friendly inclinations, she wasn't completely trusting yet, so she was returned to her home outside and her kittens were adopted. She was fine outdoors until vanishing in April 2024. While searching for another missing cat we found a stumbling Madeline, crying and emaciated, unable to walk properly. She had gotten locked in a garage and came out when her rescuers freed her. So hungry she has been eating dirt, as evidenced over the first few days we had her. She is a little shy about getting touched from her head, but approach from the side and she swoons for affection and pets.

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.
