My story

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

Egress, a handsome tuxedo teenager (DOB 10/2023) with a funny little white mustache, was taken in by his rescuer when his original family no longer could keep him and planned to bring him to Animal Care & Control. In his rescuer’s care as she got him neutered and vetted, Egress revealed himself to be is a very typical teen cat – wide-eyed, full of energy, and trying to figure out how he’s meant to navigate the world. He loves to play and goes crazy for kicker toys and cat dancers. When Egress switches out of crazy kitten mode, he ‘ll eagerly snuggle up on the bed or perch nearby while you’re working. He is happy to be picked up and sit on your lap (though he might not stay for long as he has things to do, like cats to wrestle with, the passing world to look out at from his window sill, and his daily exercises of sprinting back and forth.

Though he has mellowed since his neuter, this young boy remains a high-energy cat. In his excitement during an active play or petting session, he might think your hands are toys and do some play-biting … but this smart boy has been a star pupil in learning that humans don’t quite enjoy the rough-housing that an active feline buddy would provide. So, dear boy Egress would be best adopted into a home with another young, active cat: He gets along famously with his rescuer’s fearless, giant two-year-old male, though he plays a bit too hard for his foster sister. A lover of other cats, Egress also loves human attention, so long hours left alone might not suit him. This adorable, funny, nutty (in a good way!), loving teenager will keep you entertained! Egress is negative for FIV and FeLV, neutered, and up-to-date on his vaccinations. To adopt Egress, email adopt@kittykind.org

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

All cats and kittens are vaccinated and tested for FELV (feline leukemia) and FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus), and if old enough, are neutered or spayed.
We will ask you some questions about your home and we will be glad to answer any questions you may have. Adopting a pet is a long-term commitment. We ask you to sign the KittyKind Adoption Agreement.
We will always take a cat back FOR ANY REASON. We will also work with you to place her in another good home if (after a period of adjustment) the adoption doesn't work out.
We do ask for a $125 adoption fee to help cover some of our food and veterinary expenses. For certain purebred cats (Siamese, Persian, Maine Coon, etc.), we request a $150 - $300 adoption fee.

More about this rescue

KittyKind is a New York City not-for-profit, no-kill, all-volunteer cat rescue and adoption group. All of us at KittyKind have opened our hearts and homes — and emptied our pockets — to save thousands of cats from neglect or abuse. Every cat we rescue is given food, shelter, medical care, a safe place to lay his or her head and most importantly of all, a reason to purr. We do not believe in rescuing a cat or kitten only to euthanize it if it has a broken leg or needs extended nursing care. We never give up if there is a chance of saving them. We take responsibility for each and every life we save and if a cat or kitten is unadoptable, they have a home with us for life.
We believe that animals are not property to be discarded, disposed of, or killed just for the crime of being homeless or unwanted. We believe that people should be friends, caretakers and protectors of animals. We believe that we must take responsibility for the life of every animal we rescue who through no fault of their own, is abandoned, sick, disabled, old or unable to care for themselves. We are dedicated to relieving their suffering, providing food, shelter, medical care and comfort until we can place them in a safe and loving home.
