My story

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

Meet Dr. House, the cat with the cutest grumpy face you’ve ever seen! He loves resting, relaxing and loafing in cozy dark spaces like his favorite tunnel or perched at the top of his cat tree. When he’s not sleeping, he loves to join you on the couch or your bed, headbutting you for pets, cuddles, and will stay until you need him to leave! 

Dr. House is kind and greets you with the cutest meows when you come home, when it's time for breakfast or if he’s feeling cuddly. When he’s tapped out (which doesn’t happen too often) he will gently tap you, and will simply walk away to his cozy hiding place when he wants his alone time! 

Though his favorite activity is lounging, Dr.house does get a couple bursts of energy throughout the day, and in those moments he loves to play with his wand toy, the balls on the cat tracks, and watch some cat tv (and the lion king!) to tune into his hunting instincts. He isn’t the strongest climber and loves entertainment close to the ground!

Dr. House does get anxious at times, especially with sudden movements and tucks away to his cozy hiding space when he is feeling a bit scared, but the time spent hiding greatly reduces once he gets to know you. He does warm up to new people relatively easily but will hide at first to get the lay of the land! Based on this, I think he would be a better fit in a calmer environment where he can get all the love he deserves!

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