Not just a cat with a snack!
You're witnessing a little miracle today! (yes we seem to have a lot of those around here! This is what happens when you surround yourself with CATS!)
Winnie! She'd been hit by a car and survived, but not unscathed! She has some neurological damage that makes her a bit unsteady on her feet but she is still perfectly able.
She also reacts to change a bit strongly and needs just a little extra time and reassurance to know everything will be OK.
When we first rescued her she was quite growly and scared. We are slowly, but surely, winning her over! Churus, or any of the yummy squeeze-treats they make for cats nowadays, are very helpful in winning friends! Ask Winnie (but you'll have to wait 'till she is done bc she is quite busy right now!)
:)
Our little warrior, Winnie, is available for adoption in Huntington Station NY.
❗URGENT FOSTER or ADOPTER NEEDED❗
Audrey loses her current foster home TOMORROW!! 😑😑
She is the sweetest, easiest little house-guest!! Loves attention and love, gives it back ten-fold! She also happens to be adorable and stunning and a joy to behold! Has a great appetite, is perfect with the litter box! She is just the best!
Being diabetic, Audrey requires insulin injections 2x a day. So easy to do (Audrey purrs when she gets hers!) and we can supply the insulin and syringes if that will help seal the deal with you!
❤ Please SHARE so we can connect Audrey with her hero TODAY! Please message us if her hero is YOU! ❤

Audrey is such an angel, she even purrs on her way to the vet! Volume up!!
Who ME?
Yes YOU!
Recently-rescued Sylvester is still coming into his own and is not yet feeling fully confident about being an Official Spokescat for us (It is a very big job!)
However, when asked if we should save more cats like him (cats who were waiting for several months to be freed from the hopelessness of being in municipal shelter cages) he knew exACTLY what needed to be said. Volume up to listen in: (MreOwww!)
Exact Translation:
So many amazing cats like me are feeling SO desperate for a chance to be loved. PLEASE help my friends! $100 sponsors the rescue of one shelter cat; every dollar adds up to save more lives!

🌧 Rain Rain go away, Come back...whenever you want! 🌧
I am high and dry and cozy in my furever home and a little rain is not gonna get me down! In fact, it makes my coziness even COZIER because I am protected from the elements and getting ready for yet another nap before I eat again. 🤣
Besides, who can the weather command??
Don't let a dark rainy day get you down; let it help sooth you into the more restfull, peaceful down-time zone we all need once in a while. 😴
(And, if you really MUST go out today, galoshes! 😬☔)

(P.s. if you knew the stress this poor girl endured after being surrendered to a town shelter to become a CAUTION cat, and then waiting twooo years to be adopted you would realize the wonderful miracle it is to see her this happy! Taking a chance on the "scary" cats can be the most rewarding thing ever! They just need more love and understanding!)
Our special baby boy,.Benjamin,.went home with one of our volunteers today to be fostered. Turns out he has a resistent urinary infection that requires 6 weeks of daily meds.
He is actually a senior, which makes him even more precious to us. He has been through so much and we are determined to make sure he enjoys the rest of his life!
So grateful to our volunteer for being willing to foster him, and so hopeful that these new meds kick in and help.his body to heal.
In the meantime, it is crazy-wonderful to see him SO happy!!
🥰❤ G'nite and sweet dreams from Benjamin.
Life is Goodbye
Life is Hello
Earlier today we said goodbye to Jason...
ain't no time to hate
barely time to wait...
Say Hello to Benjamin!!
We committed to this 11yo sweetheart weeks ago but then he needed a dental and had some medical complications and now we FINALLY have this boy under our roof with us!
We're guessing this senior boy has pretty much seen it all, having survived some tough times prior to being found outside, dirty and disheveled, hungry and his mouth hurting so badly from rotted teeth. :(
Say goodbye to those days of pain and trying to survive, sweet Benjamin, and say hello to warmth, cleanliness, plentiful food, comfort and an abundance of LOVE.
Benjamin is pure love. Seriously, look up love in the dictionary and you will see his picture there! ok nobody uses dictionaries anymore but you get the point!! The lucky person who adopts Benjamin will be basking in affection all day long!!
For now, we are the lucky ones and we are so thrilled to have this guy with us!
(11yo and ready for you at our Adoption Center in Huntington Station NY)
Just might be the most Thankful Thursday
ever after receiving this incredible video from the human who adopted Evan and Robert -
Two shy boys who lost their home many moons ago....endured months of separation in town shelter cages...enjoyed being reunited with us, but then waited way too long for someone to give this bonded pair a chance!
So incredibly grateful to their new mom who saw they needed each other. Some people actually feel threatened by a bonded pair's attachment to each other, thinking they wont get enough cat-love for themselves. If this video doesn't dispell that fear nothing will!
So many love songs could accompany this video but...volume up for the purrs because that is EVERYTHING!! ❤
It's Friday and not only is it almost time for happy hour but IT'S SNOWING!!!
Snowing very lightly but brothers Robert (left) and Evan are doing a SNOW DANCE in hopes of changing that! They like seeing the snow accumulate outside while they get to stay cozy and warm inside at our Adoption Center! :)
These two love-birds are so incredibly happy to be where they are today. Their past was very sad, having survived a terrible situation where their owner ran into some mental health issues and stopped being able to care for the many cats she had. Some of her cats did not survive, and several suffered health consequences. These two boys came out unscathed, but then had to endure several months of isolation in a municipal shelter before we were able to rescue and reunite them.
If they could talk, we don't think they'd bother to discuss any of that. One of the most beautiful things about animals is that they are so naturally able to live in the present moment - and right now this moment is AWESOME!
(This joy and endless love can be yours!! Robert and Evan are about 4yo and available as a pair at our Adoption Center in Huntington Station NY)

SO TIRED of hearing about TIARA.
Don't get us wrong. We could hear about this girl all day long ....if the talk was compassionate.
Misunderstood cats have the hardest time in any setting.
Over a year ago we rescued this girl from a municipal shelter where there was absolutely no way she was leaving alive unless it was through rescue. She was incredibly distressed and was was not okay being contained or handled.
Tiara had lost her home and the life she knew after the death of her original owner. 💔
At our Adoption Center Tiara is stressed being surrounded by 40 plus cats, and she works hard to tolerate them. She is wickedly smart and she knows this is not the life she was meant to be living. Tiara KNOWS she needs to be in a home again..
Problem is her stress makes her react stressfully to any interaction.
Sadly we have had visitors say things to her like,
"Well you're not going to get adopted that way!"
Or,
"You just ruined your chance to get out of here."
😑😶
Nothing breaks our hearts worse than seeing one of our rescued cats,
A. Being put to a test and then,
B. Failing that test because they are scared and stressed.
It is OK if you want a cat who has no emotional baggage. You will find one, no doubt. We have plenty.
It is AMAZING and FOREVER LIFE CHANGING if you are willing to see where you are needed, and then choose to be there for the one in need.
Tiara needs a chance Tiara needs you. If you have a home that is peaceful, that is cat-centric, that has room for a girl who has been feeling so unhappy for WAY too long, then please please consider turning it all around for this girl.
The rewards that await both of you are immeasureable. 🥰😻

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house....every single cat is happy!
Christmas Eve holds so much magic! The thrill and anticipation of possibly getting all we have wished for! The hope against hope that there actually might be a Santa who makes all good things come true!
This year for our cats, their Santa is YOU - and we simply cannot express enough thanks to adequately convey how amazing this has been! We asked for Secret Santas for all of our cats and we had SO MANY responses and SO MUCH love sent our way that our current residents were able to SHARE all they had received!!
Tonight, on this magical Christmas Eve, our hearts are great and full knowing that EVERY SINGLE ONE of our prior residents AND ALL of our BRAND NEWEST of residents (to be announced tomorrow) are able to go to sleep with tummies full of yummy food, a brand new bed or blankie and a toy to call their own!
Our very newest and tiniest of residents, Phoebe, became our spokescat for this celebration of magical abundance! At three months old, she somehow survived being hit by a car and losing one of her legs. :( Tonight with us, the best of Phoebe's life begins! New bed, new toy and tummy warm and full! She is a TRUE Christmas Miracle, as are each of you!!
Never lose hope for a happy new beginning!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!!
GPS alumnus, Albert, is all pumped up as we prepare for a most wonderful holiday season!
He knows this is everyone's favorite time of year to give, which works out just fine for the many cats we currently have who are still awaiting adoption!
Stay tuned as our behind-the-scenes elves get ready to launch the different ways you can help our rescued cats this holiday season!
😻👍
Kittens are beautiful little reminders of how innocent and vulnerable we all are, especially when facing new and potentially scary situations.
Baby Asher is learning his way around our Adoption Center and found himself in a predicament, until he was shown the way.
Everyone's got an inner-kitten in need of love and support to see us through.

It has been a super-long weekend loaded with adoptions. We will present them all to you tomorrow but in the meantime...
Enjoy Tippy at the sink. 🤣🤣
This is his all-time favorite activity. We aim to please each of our many rescued cats while they reside at our Adoption Center. Finding out what makes them happy makes us happy. 😻🥰
G'nite!!!
❤
The very sweetest of dreams are brought to you tonight by Henna, who is loving every minute of her new life in her furever home! ADOPTED! 🤩
This senior girl with disfigured ears had every reason to think there was nothing to look forward to as she sat alone in her shelter cage.
We are here to banish all doubt and fear from the hearts of shelter cats who sit in isolation awaiting their fate.
Thank you so much for being here with us!
Goodnight!!
❤
Sleep does come for happily-adopted boy, Albert, but not until he is done with this very intense session with his pillow. 😸
(Almost missed it bc he does it in total silence ...the moral of this story being that there are SO many magic little moments that our little friends provide us with when we pause and pay attention to the paws. ❤🤩)
Sweet dreams to you and yours! 😴
