My story

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

The three V boys--Vivek, Vinny, and Volker-- love all the toys we have and running around with each other. They're all a little shy in general; in the way that if you are walking around when they are up and about, they scramble away from us. But if they are seated and relaxed, you can pet them. It's funny how they scurry away when we are walking, but when they're relaxed, they love so much affection that their fosterers can even kiss their faces. Don't they realize they are the same people walking and sitting?! 😹 They're getting more comfortable laying in different places around the apartment, but their favorite place is still on the couch armrest by the window– Which is a great spot for them to enjoy some pets. All eating well and using the litter box great!

Volker (green collar) is a little more mellow than his two brothers Vinny (brown collar) and Vivek (purple collar) . They all play together and cuddle together but Volker isn’t as active as the other two. All three are FIV and FeLV negative, neutered, and up to date on shots. All our kittens must be adopted in pairs, or to a home that has a young friendly resident cat. Come see them at Petco Union Square!

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.
