Frequently Asked Questions

  • Most of our animals are rescued directly from the streets of NYC, often in urgent or critical condition. Others may come from neglect situations, owner surrenders, or overcrowded environments.

  • While we primarily focus on cats and kittens, we also rescue dogs and occasionally small animals like rabbits, guinea pigs, and birds when we’re able.

  • To adopt, you’ll fill out an application and go through a screening process to ensure the best fit for both you and the animal. Many of our animals are in foster homes, so you may meet them there before adoption.

  • Fostering means temporarily opening your home to an animal until they are adopted. It can last anywhere from a few days to several months, and it’s one of the most impactful ways to help save lives.

  • We typically cover veterinary care and can provide basic supplies when needed, though we always appreciate any support our fosters can offer.

  • All animals in our care receive necessary medical treatment, including vaccinations, spay/neuter, and care for illness or injury—especially those that might not otherwise get a second chance.

  • TNR stands for Trap-Neuter-Return. It’s a humane method used to control the population of feral cats by trapping them, sterilizing and vaccinating them, and returning them safely to their outdoor homes.

  • We strive to never say no to an animal in need, but our capacity depends on available fosters, funding, and medical resources.
