🚨Double Trouble Alert!🚨Meet Vice & Versa! 🖤🐾

These two adorable black kittens are ready to steal your heart (and your cardboard boxes)! 🖤 At 7 weeks old and under 2 lbs, Vice and Versa are an energetic, playful duo who will keep you entertained for hours.

VICE is the independent one – he loves his space but once he bonds with you, he’s all about the snuggles. He’s obsessed with our senior cat and has a serious passion for cardboard. 🐾

VERSA is the social butterfly – affectionate, curious, and a champion napper! He’s also a foodie and loves to eat. 🐱🍽️

Both of them are playful, feisty, and sweet. They’re excellent at entertaining each other with toys (seriously, anything that rolls or squeaks is a hit) and they’re always rumbling around the house, chasing each other for hours. 🏃‍♂️⚡

They’d thrive in a home where they can stay together and have plenty of toys and safe spaces to explore. Bonus if you’ve got a senior cat they can practice their boundaries with (they’re learning!). They might be okay with dogs or kids, but proper introductions are key.

These two would love to find their forever home with someone who has the time and love to care for two curious kittens who will keep you laughing every day! 🐾

Peak a boo! It’s Cleo Pink! Named for her precious pink nose, of course 🎀

Cleo Pink is a sweet five month old kitten with a curious nature. She loves to check out what people are up to, and stand up on her tiptoes to be pet. She’s an excellent biscuit maker and great at making adorable trills and chirps. Cleo was scooped up from the streets but quickly adjusted to the indoor life and has gained a lot of confidence through the help of treats. She does get a little spooked, so would do best in a quieter home. Cleo Pink is a big fan of other kitties as well!

This darling kitten needs someone to fawn over her and show her the good indoor life! Apply at the link in bio for Cleo Pink 🔗💓

Know what could help alleviate election stress? Staring into the beautiful eyes of 2 pretty white girl cats 😻🩶 You may remember Pixel and Voxel from a few weeks ago, but they’re still waiting for a home!

Voxel is 1.5 years old and Pixel is 9 months. Voxel has one blue eye and one green eye and is the ultimate lap cat 💚🩵 She is a cuddly sweetheart! Pixel is likely her kitten. She is a spunky girl and loves to chase a feather wand and jump into cardboard boxes. They love to hang out with people but also are happy entertaining each other! They groom each other and strut around together.

Pixel and Voxel are good friends and it would be great to adopt them together, but they would do fine in separate homes with a lot of love. Fill out an application at the link in bio to adopt pretty Pixel, Voxel or both!

Sweet Bipity (female) and Boo (male) are 10 a week old brother and sister looking for a furever home! 🖤🤍

Boo (picture 2), who has no tail, is both playful and lively and always hungry, just like a kitten should be! 😺 But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t love some naps and cuddle times. 💤🥰

Bipity (picture 3) is just like her brother, only double it! She is high energy and a mega cuddler! We love her a streak on her nose. 💗🫶🏻🤍

These two do not need to be adopted together, but they do need to be adopted into a home with another young and playful cat. 👯‍♂️

Whiskers crossed paths with Lyla when Neighborhood Cats asked for help with a feral cat with a horrific eye injury. The project included trapping, transport to the vet, and recovery after the surgery.

The vet discovered that Lyla's body was covered wounds from fights with other 🐈🐈‍⬛️ She really didn’t stand a chance, but the plan was for her to be released back to the neighborhood where she had sustained these injuries 🤕

Strangely enough, at the vet, Lyla turned out to be seeking affection despite being in pain. Also, during recovery, she made it clear she prefers snuggles 🤗 to treats 🍗🥩🍤🍣!

Obviously, we could not return Lyla outside. This is when the sad part ends and the happy one begins!

Lyla has been chilling in a foster home for about a month, and even if cautious at first, she is more confident to ask for (and offer) affection 😘. We think that she will be happiest in a calm environment without loud noises, but with good bird watching and lots of soft blankets (she loves making blanket biscuits). She loves to play, and when done playing - belly rubs. What an amazing transformation!

If you want to meet Lyla, please fill out an adoption application. (Link in bio).

Glow up alert!🚨Guy Noir—who has been renamed Benny by his fosters—was found hiding under a car in Sunset Park in September when a kind person took him in and connected him to WAGG. Emaciated, tired, and disoriented after who knows how long on the streets, this sweet three-year-old boy mostly slept for his first week post rescue. 💤 His fosters described him as a sleepy old man trapped in a panther body. 👴🏼🐈‍⬛

After a few weeks of regular meals and plenty of rest to recover from his ordeal, Benny’s true personality has started to shine. AND his little bod has transformed from scarily skinny 🦴 to silky and scrumptious! 🧁

Old man Benny is now adventure-seeker Benny. He spends hours chasing balls all over the apartment and sometimes even brings them back for a game of fetch. His favorite toy is a crumpled up green post-it note. An agile climber, he loves the challenge of balancing on a skinny chair back or on his fosters’ bicycles. He’s even learning how to give high-fives for treats! ✋😻

Benny loves people and wants to be where the action is. Once he’s expended energy on playing, he’ll curl up next to you for a nap and he sleeps soundly through the night at the foot of the bed. If you’re not already running to adopt this sweetie, wait til you see his ! If you’ve been looking for a soft, sweet, fun, social house panther who loves sticking out his tongue, Benny/Guy Noir is your man! 🐈‍⬛👅🖤

Wilbert says Happy Halloween! This year he’s going as a criminal arrested for being too cute 🐱🎃

Wilbert was found wandering around the neighborhood and was taken in to get fixed - there’s nothing scarier to a cat rescuer than an unfixed cat! They quickly discovered how friendly of a boy he is and has been learning to become a house cat ever since. Wilbert is full of energy and is a real play machine. He loves to chase his electronic mouse around, but he does have the bad habit of attacking people hands when playing. He’s currently learning to adapt to indoor life but we are looking for a foster home where he can roam more freely and learn better play habits. If you have room in your home and heart for this goofy kitty, please apply to foster Wilbert!

🐾 Rescue Story: Kitties of the Scaffolding! 🐾

Here’s a rescue story with a twist! A teacher at an elementary school in Williamsburg, Brooklyn noticed a skinny mama cat & her kittens camped out on the *second-floor scaffolding* of the school during construction work. 😳

Her class had been watching the little family play high above the playground, so she reached out to to see if we could help them before the dangers of construction proved harmful & cold temps set in.

We faced some challenges right off the bat—only the construction crew can access that area & they don’t start working until after school hours. Luckily, the site engineer turned out to be a kind cat lover, too! 😻

We couldn’t safely (or legally) scale the construction site, so he set up the traps according to our instructions while we kept watch from inside an empty classroom with the teacher. An OSHA approved cat rescue, if you will. ✔️

While the teacher previously tried to feed the skinny mama cat, she kept avoiding the food, so we broke out the big guns & trapped them with sardines. For the love of sardines & all that is good, we’ve successfully brought Mama cat & her 2 tiny kittens to safety. Mama cat, though feral & very wary, is safe & scheduled for her spay appointment tomorrow while her kittens stay in safe hands. 🐈‍⬛

And good news: the teacher is now interested in fostering! 🍎 With the construction crew & teacher keeping watch, we’re hopeful there aren’t any more kittens still up there, but we’ve got the traps locked & loaded, just in case. 🎣

What seemed impossible at first has turned into a true community rescue effort! As you know, rescue work always takes a village, or in our case, a NYC neighborhood. ❤️

📍So how can you do your part in cat rescue? Remember, fostering & adopting also saves lives! For more info on fostering or adopting with , head to ✨Link in Bio✨ at !

🚨UPDATE on Strudel 🖤🤍

A few weeks ago, we stepped in to help with the rescue of this little fighter and the rest of her family from outside in Bushwick. Buffy and Grim (check out past post!) are chunky muffins, healthy as can be, but miss Strudel had a nasty injury: an open fracture on her back paw. Ouch!!

At first, it looked like amputation might be the only option, but Strudel surprised us all with her resilience. Now, we’re hopeful she’ll keep that precious paw!

She’s still in pain but healing a bit more each day. Through it all, Strudel keeps her sweet spirit—and those adorable black-and-white spots on her nose remind us just how unique and strong she is. Here’s to brighter days and a future with all four paws on the ground! 🐾💪
