My story

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

Are you the kind of person who takes a bit of time to warm up people, but when you do, you’re really kind and sweet? Yeah, me too. Hi, my name is Dweller.

My past owner wasn’t nice to me and recently passed away, then I spent a few weeks in the shelter which was really stressful. So you could say I’ve been through a lot. I like quiet spaces and for people to let me approach them when I want pets. Do you want a rando touching you? No? Me neither. 

I really love cheek scritches though, especially if you put your hand out and let me come to you. I also like back and butt scritches. My foster mom says my fur is really soft. I wouldn’t know since it’s the only fur I’ve ever had, but she seems to think it’s nice. Sometimes I get tired of being pet, though, and want to be left to my own thoughts. I usually walk away at that point, and if you put your hand out and I don’t approach you for pets, that’s my signal that I’m cuddled out. 

I like to play with string and pipe cleaners, but to be honest, I haven’t spent a lot of time playing with humans in my life so I’m still getting used to it. Generally, I just like to hang out during the day in a quiet place (I’m also quiet so don’t worry about me interrupting you) and observe life around me. 

If you’re into sweet, low-maintenance cats, and are patient, kind, and will let me warm up to you in my own time, we might be a good match.

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

Dweller was rescued with dental issues and had 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.
