Our main program is TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) Recovery & Care, providing a safe location for NYC’s Community Cats to recover from spay and neuter or minor medical concerns.

RescueNYC’s team is experienced in working with feral cats & recovery is our favorite part of TNR 😊

💛The support we provide helps remove some of the stress that comes with TNR/managing colonies for the amazing & dedicated caretakers of NYC.

🐱In addition to helping people, our space gives the cats a quiet place to relax & heal before returning home and gives them a chance to be assessed for adoption!

Peanut is one of the lucky kittens who found their way to RescueNYC for Trap-Neuter-Return pre/post spay holding.

💛While caring for Peanut our team knew she had potential for life indoors and began working to socialize her.

🐱She was a quick learner and eagerly welcomed all the attention. We are happy to report that Peanut now Marigold has been adopted !!!

😻This little purr machine will never know what it means to spend a winter outside or to have to raise kittens on the street.. thanks to YOUR support and belief in our mission.

On behalf of all the cats that have come through our programs- thank YOU for supporting us and helping NYC’s Community Cats Thrive!

Our long haired beauty- Slater came to RescueNYC after we provided holding and care pre/post spay.

💛Working alongside her caretaker, RescueNYC transferred Slater into our socialization program in the hopes that she would not have to return to a life on the streets.

💛After enough progress was made, we moved Slater to an experienced foster who was able to help her adjust to a home setting and assess her temperament further.

🐱We are happy to report with the extra time and love from everyone involved -Slater is available for adoption! Email: [email protected] for more information

🐱Slater would not have this second chance without people supporting our mission!

Our TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) Recovery & Care Space has been busy with cats coming, going and in Onyx’s case … staying!

💛We met Onyx last week while providing pre/post neuter recovery & care.

🐱While Onyx was shy at first his loud purr & biscuit making skills - resulted in him getting a chance in our socialization program where he has blossomed! Onyx will be moving forward for adoption once he is medically cleared.

🎉YOUR support gives cats like Onyx a second chance for a better life. If you have been considering donating - today is a great day to give! Onyx will need some final vetting done (fecal/snap test/exam) before he can be placed for adoption. Link in Bio ☝️

🤝Can’t donate but want to help .. share Onyx’s story to help gain more awareness for NYC’s Cats🫶

Tosh is loving his second chance at a new beginning thanks to YOU! We met Tosh and his siblings through a TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) Project being completed in Queens.

💛RescueNYC provided pre/post spay & neuter holding and care for this project. While caring for Tosh we had a strong sense that he could be worked with and hopefully adopted through our program.

🐱Working with Tosh was a big joy for our crew as he quickly learned to love being around his caretakers. We are excited to share that after a short stay in our care- a previous adopter of RescueNYC is giving him a chance to be part of their family!

❤️He still has another week in his foster to adopt trial period - “LIKE/SHARE” this post to send him good vibes and luck!

🫶YOU make these happy endings possible and allow us to help NYC’s Community Cats Thrive! Link in Bio to continue to support more cats like Tosh 😻 THANK YOU!

Holding is a BIG part of TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) & an important one! During the TNR process cats are held in their traps -not only for the safety of the caretakers, but the cats too.

💛During the holding period the cats need to be kept calm, warm and clean. Daily monitoring makes sure any problems are caught early & that the cats are settling in.

🐱Our TNR Certified team understands the critical role of recovery, therefore all care & supplies are provided through our program. This service gives the cats time to heal and rest before being returned to their monitored colonies. An additional benefit of this program is being able to assess the cats in our care for adoption.

🌟YOU make this program possible, without your support we would not be able to provide this vital service.

🥰Thank YOU to all those who have trusted us in caring for your community cats. You are the ones doing the difficult work & we love being able to help fill the gap for TNR holding.

Partnering with means more second chances for NYC’s Cats!

🐱Shade arrived at the city shelter after being found alone on the streets of Brooklyn with a double eye infection.

🐱Surprisingly she was at the shelter for some time before she was transferred to RescueNYC.

💛During her initial exam with us she tested positive for Ringworm and needed to be treated for that along with treating both her eyes in hopes they could be saved.

💛After weeks of treatment and TLC, shade was cleared of Ringworm but unfortunately needed to have one of her eyes removed. This would ensure she would have a more comfortable life ahead.

As we move through the last few days of 2023, we will be celebrating the lives YOU changed as a direct result of your support!

💛Working with Danni was extremely rewarding, watching her progress and get more comfortable with being handled reminds us why we do this work!

💛Providing these second chances - completely changes the life path of these cats.

🐱Danni represents the majority of the cats that come through our adoption program. These are cats that are born on the streets and through TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) Projects are saved!

🐱Danni was one of many Community Cats we cared for pre/post spay/neuter surgery. All the cats we hold are assessed for placement through our adoption program.

🐱Danni arrived from a massive colony in queens that Linda's Feral Cat Assistance had been working on to TNR. Due to the high volume of cats many of these cats arrived sick and therefore needed more care before they could be safety spayed/neutered.

🐱Danni was very thin and had a bad upper respiratory infection. We worked to get her healthy and started to socialize her as we were confident this little hairball could be a wonderful companion with enough care & patience.

🌟Thanks to YOUR support former street cats like Danni, find the help they need resulting in a forever home, warm and loved.

RescueNYC is a 501(c)3, all volunteer nonprofit helping to improve the lives of NYC’s Cats!

Our main program - TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) Holding & Care, provides a safe and clean space for ferals pre/post spay&neuter, those recovering from minor medical concerns and nursing moms.

As a result of the holding space we are able to assess the cats in our care for adoption and help alleviate some of the stress the caretakers face during a TNR project.

YOUR support makes helping animals in need easier- knowing we have the funds to say YES!

As a small organization - YOUR support means so much and we are truly grateful for your belief in our work 🙏

Both BB & Sassi have been adopted through our program, each living with new cat siblings in Manhattan. They will never know life on the streets because of YOU!

🐱These sisters came to RescueNYC as New Hope Transfers shortly after their mom had given birth in the shelter.
