My story

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

Need more orange cats in your life? High Stepper and Lady of the Dance are happy to oblige! These two were found at a managed colony, and clearly were once indoor pets who lost trust in humans. High Stepper (the fluffy boy) is super sweet and likes pets (he's still a little nervous, but approach slowly and he'll soon be head butting up a storm!). Lady of the Dance (the orange tabby girl) is more skeptical, but is learning to trust humans more every day. Churu treats are a great way to earn her trust. They are both so adorable and sweet, and just need some patience to come out of their shells.

High Stepper has a mild case of Cerebellar Hypoplasia,  is a neurological condition in which the cerebellum is smaller than usual or not completely developed. Affectionately known as a Wobbly Cat, this disorder is not progressive or contagious, and doesn’t cause any serious health problems – she just has a distinctive, quirky (and honestly very cute) way of walking around. She sometimes trips over her own feet, but she gets right back up and keeps going! The Internet loves wobbly cats, so she has real viral video potential -- and we have lots of resources to help you get her setup successfully.

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.
