We knew it was coming, but it's quickly becoming a reality, it's kitten season!! We need your help finding homes for these wonderful little babies. We have lots of great options for anyone looking to adopt. Please, please apply to adopt yourself or spread the word!💞🙏

We are getting messages everyday about new kittens and we just can't take in any more until we get some adopted!!

Our Marley is packed to go to his furrever home😬 …well, not yet we want him to have some time to adjust as being on the streets traumatized him. He’s terrified of other cats, sounds and anything else that makes him scared so we want him to decompress a bit first. He’s a sweet boy but when scared is a bit reactive, but calms down quickly when reassured with calm voice and love.
He had to go back to vet yesterday because his paw got swollen.. turned out he had a tiny would be twin his toe pads that got infected but it’s all taken care of now.
We think Marley might be best suited to be the only cat based on what we’ve seen so far but will see how things progress…

It was a busy weekend. 10 cats got spayed/neutered. One female gave birth right after we trapped her. We’ve spend long hours trying to get a super stubborn mamma cat. It’s her 4th litter that we know of but she’s not willing to go near any trap even when we used her babies as a lure☹️
And Charlotte got engaged? …like wtf she’s just a baby🥹😂😂😂

We really, really need an adopter for our sweet boy Maurice!! He was rescued after he was found in part of a colony in Ridgewood getting beat up by the other cats. Another unneutered male that was likely dumped. His current foster can no longer keep him after next month. He's a sweet, gentle boy who's roughly 2 years old. He likes to play, cuddle, eat and sleep. He's been neutered, microchipped, had all his shots and is Fiv/felv negative. He's got a pretty relaxed personality, so he could probably get along with other cats as long as there are proper introductions. He's a very good boy and we'd love to see him get a permanent home as soon as possible! Please consider adopting him today or share with anyone who might be interested!

Thank you everyone who donated to help Jack❤️ And Dr Mucera and the team at the clinic for squeezing Jack in for surgery on a very busy day. This poor kitty needed his eye removed, he also has a bad wound on his paw that needs to heal so he’ll be with us for a while to fully recover which probably is not making him very happy as he doesn’t like us… But we got to give him some good pets when he was coming out of anesthesia. He’s a very good boy even if he’s feral.
He also got neutered, vaccinated and microchipped so he won’t have to go through another surgery which is always a strain on their bodies.
Now he just need some patience while he’s locked in for recovery.
