My story

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

Erie is a very calm, mature gentleman cat. He looks almost pather-like, with lots of muscles, but he prefers sleeping rather than using them. Most times you will find him snoring somewhere (like in the middle of your bed), but if you approach him he will be very friendly. He has a very good personality and cares about cat-sonal hygiene. And he LOVES food. I have never seen such enthusiasm for food in a cat, and he will finish every piece/drop of food in the bowl when he feels like it, and that’s most of the time. One other special thing about Erie is that he has an eerie way of meowing, which resembles the sound of opening an old wooden door. It is so cute!

This cat can be adopted with a friend or as a single cat.

This cat has been diagnosed with a heart murmur and would benefit from an echocardiogram -- we would appreciate it if their potential adopter could help us cover this cost in lieu of an adoption donation.

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.
