My story

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

No, she's not a bunny! Portia is an 8-month-old female black and white cat. She had her tail amputated after an unfortunate incident in a car engine. Now she has a cute little nub and nothing to slow her down. She's very playful and mischievous, and would do well with another cat who can match her energy. She's a bit of a trickster and master of surprise attacks, all in good fun, of course. When she's not ambushing someone, chasing a string or playing with her toys, she knows how to relax and get cozy. Her energy is playful but in a chill way, basically your typical Pisces. Due to her young age and playful nature, Portia would be happiest in a home where she can have a cat friend that matches her energy.

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.
