My story

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

Pepita was once queen of a bodega but she has since retired, now craving the finer things in life, chasing toys instead of mice. She’s a torbie polydactyl with 3 thumbs (!!!), the cutest little button nose and a petite but plump frame. She’s a curious little being, ears perking up to different noises like birds chirping outside, and staring out windows to find the source. She likes to be around people and will wait by the door to greet you with welcome back meows and to say she can see the bottom of her food bowl.

Pepita loves pets and scritches but does get overstimulated easily, which you can tell easily by the flicks of her tails. She’s a huge fan of churu, catnip, and boxes. She lets her inner huntress out with tiny mice toys and is practicing some rhythmic gymnastics with a wand toy. Sometimes when she gets too excited with play, she’ll let out little growls, showing off her tortitude and inner tiger at her pretend prey. She’s a darling and would prefer to be the only cat in your life being the queen that she is.

This cat would prefer to be adopted alone and be the only cat in the home.

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.
