Bottle Baby Momma is out of the house and hanging out at Howl & Prowl in Greenwich, CT today. We will be at Roger Sherman Baldwin Park until 4pm and hope that you can come out to visit us.

There are dogs all about decked out in their Halloween costumes. Numerous vendors are present, plus several food trucks. There are contests to participate in. Lots of fun to be had.

We would love to have you stop by to say hello and support our rescue. Hope to see you soon.

Update: We have found transportation for this little kitten. Thank you to everyone who shared this post and called to offer assistance.

After being born on Tuesday, mom cat was observed watching the baby from nearby, but not allowing her kitten to nurse. She never even fully cleaned the baby or dettached the placenta. Thankfully, a colony feeder stepped in to cut the umbilical cord, dry the kitten, and bottle feed before attempting to reunite the baby with mom. The next day mom was observed nursing a second kitten, but once again, this little one had been cast aside. The feeder has tried multiple times to reunite the family without any success. Now we need to get the kitten to FURRR 911 for round the clock care.

Finally! FURRR 911 is at the Hastings Flea Market today. 😁😁😁

Mother Nature has not shown kindness to our outdoor event schedule this fall. September's flea market had to be canceled due to flash flooding. Then, last weekend, the event was postponed because we were getting rain and wind from the remnants of a hurricane.

Well, all is right with the world today. Although the air is a little crisp, it is a bright and sunny day. So come on out to visit us at the Hastings Flea. We will be here today until 4 pm.

Reminder: There is only one more flea market (11/8/26) this fall. If you need holiday gifts or stocking stuffers, please make sure to visit us today or in November.

I am calling it quits for today. Too tired to even write a coherent post about this third delivery of the day (plot twist about the 2nd delivery is in our Stories), but I wanted to quickly introduce our newest neonate - a 3 hour old baby boy from Norwalk, CT. Need name suggestions, please.

Good night all. It's going to be a long night for me. 🙄

This new arrival from the Bronx certainly takes his biscuit making skills VERY seriously. Perhaps he should have been given a job at a bakery in Little Italy. 😹

When you are a handsome boy, and you know it! And you just can't get enough of looking at yourself in the mirror. 😹

This is Justin. He was adopted from FURRR 911 several years ago. In fact, this lovely Connecticut family has adopted three cats from us. 🥰 They regularly call with updates on the cats or send adorable pictures via Messenger.

Animal rescue is really difficult work. It makes my day when I receive pictures and updates about our adopted kitties. Keep them coming!

Send pictures via Messenger on Instagram () or Facebook ( 911).

Text me if you have my personal number. Remember, our rescue phone number (914-761-6735) is a landline, so it can't receive texts.

After all these years in animal rescue, it still hits me like a sucker punch to the gut when I receive videos like this. It is so disheartening to see how some people treat animals. It's no wonder why so many good-hearted rescuers burn out.

This is an apartment in the Bronx that people vacated (video in the comments). Three adult cats and a kitten, who is barely clinging to life tonight, were left behind with no food or water for an extended period of time. A resident in the building was granted access to the apartment today to feed the cats. However, when she saw how critical the kitten was, she immediately decided that she could not leave him there.

The kitten is with us at FURRR 911, but he needs all your thoughts, prayers, and positive energy tonight as he fights to survive. I am too exhausted, mentally and physically, to share more right now. It is going to be a very long night caring for this little one. 😪

We received a message on Instagram this afternoon about newborn kittens in Yonkers. They were initially found this morning when the building super was putting garbage in a dumpster. Luckily, he saw the babies before they were buried, and the garbage was hauled away. He told a tenant about the kittens, and they were removed from the dumpster and placed in a cat shelter close to where the babies were found. Mom cat was still in the vicinty when the tenant left for work.

A neighbor monitored the situation throughout the day. Mom hung around, but she was never observed going into the shelter to nurse her young. After 8 hours, the tenant reached out for help. When our transporter arrived, she saw the mom cat in a pile of empty cardboard boxes nursing one of her kittens. Although mom hissed at the intruders, she remained with her baby. However, the remaining 3 babies were still inside the shelter, and they hadn't been fed for at least 10 hours so the decision was made to intervene. The tenant and neighbor will continue to monitor the situation in case mom abandons the one kitten she is still caring for.

All of this came after we posted today about how busy it still is at the rescue. We asked our friends to check out our Amazon wishlist and to make a donation if they could. As I have said before, we have such an amazing community of supporters. We have many donations of food and kitty litter on the way to FURRR 911. For anyone who did not see our post earlier, there are just over 1 1/2 hours left until the end of Amazon Prime Days to grab some great deals. Thank you for sending gifts and helping us to care for these kittens.

If you were wondering what we have been up to over the past few weeks, then take a look at this . While we are still receiving calls about justborn kittens, our rescue is fielding lots of calls regarding sick and abandoned/dumped kittens. While it is never acceptable for humans to purposefully abandon animals outdoors, it is even more heartbreaking now that temperatures are dropping, We know that it can be difficult to find a shelter or rescue organization willing to accept new intakes, but with some legwork (whether that be calls, emails, or messages), placement can be found. If you cared enough to stop and rescue an animal, please ensure that you find a safe place to surrender this animal to.

With that being said, we have been really busy lately, and donations are greatly needed. Today is the final day of Amazon Prime Day Deals. In fact, we had to place a large order because we were nearly out of litter and getting low on our food supply. There are several good deals (plus additional coupons) on single box and multi packs of litter, washable p*e pads, garbage bags, and even some instant coupons for a few 40 can cases of Friskies. Our Amazon wishlist contains many items currently on sale through midnight. Please consider sending our kitties some love by shopping for essential items off our wishlist today. Our highest priority products right now are litter and food, but any of the sale items would be very much appreciated. We would like to thank our community in advance because you are always there to support us and to help get these precious kittens off the streets. We couldn't do this work without you.

***Update: We have found transportation. Thank you Ilana J Costello, as always, for jumping in your car to help a newborn kitten get to us safely. ***

This kitten was born approximately 36 hours ago in a backyard in Brooklyn. Yesterday, mom was repeatedly observed going over to the kitten to check things out, but mom will not nurse her baby. At one point, a male cat was seen sitting on top of the newborn in the box.

The mom and baby were temporarily moved into the garage ahead of the incoming storm. However, the landlord does not want cats there. Once the landlord requested that the cats be removed from the garage and the mom continued to reject her baby, the kitten was taken inside and put on a heated blanket. The rescuer then bought kitten formula and attempted to bottle feed, but the baby will not latch. We suspect that the kitten may have been born with a birth defect or a condition causing the mom cat to reject this baby.
