A BIG THANK YOU to Amy Karls - who sent a boxful of wee wee pads & KMR milk to help the neonates a couple of weeks back! With six tiny mouths the cans were super useful. We were SO touched by this ❀️ we have no words.

I've been posting about the kittens late, in the sense they're getting closer to getting weaned. This is b/c the first 1-3 weeks post-birth they are SO fragile, needing feeding every 1-3 hours, my full focus is on caring, not posting/ taking pics. As well, being a hygiene freak - during this vulnerable phase I don't allow access to the kittens to people, and when I do to those who can see, it's with EXTREME caution, change of clothes, clean slippers with shoe guards and MUCH more caution), since unvaccinated neonatal kittens are always at risk of falling sick or catching germs, so, when feeding alone, I am mostly unable to use my hands for photos which go into handling/feeding. So the pics here were taken later by Alex Skolnick & by Jean B.

KMR (as in Kitten Milk Replacer) is the only "milk" along with a mama cat's milk (in cases where mamas are around) that neonatal kittens should nurse on. Never cow's milk or any other kind which can cause many life-threatening issues.

Anyway, enough lecturing! πŸ˜… This post is for a huuuuge thank you to wonderful Amy and to her . Amy, you have NO idea what your kindness means and what a difference it's made to these tiny, wee ones! πŸ™πŸΌπŸ™πŸΌπŸ™πŸΌπŸ™πŸΌπŸ™πŸΌπŸ™πŸΌβ€οΈπŸ’• Testament & Alex Skolnick Trio - Amy loves your music!

And as usual, a big thank you to Jean and thanks to Jean they have their miracle feeding syringes and bottle! πŸ™πŸΌπŸ™πŸΌπŸ™πŸΌ

Here are Bart, Billie, Buddy & Belle who need to be adopted in pairs as all four are very bonded and love nothing better than spending time together.

We have our paws crossed for two of them this weekend, so wish them well! 😺

They're all vetted, vaccinated, microchipped, negative on both FeLV/FIV.

Buddy is playful, hilarious, athletic and sweet; Bart is quiet & sweet - a gentle giant. Billie and Belle are sleek, alert, playful young girls who warm up instantly with their favorite treat Churu. Scroll down the feed to see more of their story.

For once, not BUT some of the greatest of who became for a night for an unforgettable exactly one week back - so a to last Thursday night - an that went on for hours.... the concert For the Love of ...

Goosebumps-worthy - for anyone who loves or knows - it was surreal to witness & be part of a roomful of jamming, playing, reminiscing of their tour shenanigans at 's amazing - run by the uber-talented, multilingual & fantastic Matt

I can't even fit in all the photos & have reached the limit of 20 tags so can't tag everyone in the pics, but anyone in nyc's or global jazz scene will know who they are, and out of respect for privacy am not posting music clips... but Darn - Ron Carter opening!!

The sad part is the fact that has developed Parkinson's and his friends and manager got together to help him towards the funding of his treatment with this fundraising concert- which is a testimony to the sad state of America's health care system. 😒 I mean when THE legendary bassist and an inspiration to soooo many (several of whom spoke up to share what he means to them) - THE Anthony Jackson - whose music has graced the best of jazz concert venues around the world for decades - faces an unaffordable & - what does that say about the state of affairs here 😿?

Anyway, somehow between caring for neonatal kittens and then a post-concert feeding of ferals, I managed to squeeze this in....( reminiscing my own performing arts' days (jazz vocals, classical danceπŸ˜… )

But it was great to see host what was likely a with the lineups.... and hats off to these grandmaster and others who graced the stage and the night. A few I've met earlier but this night was truly special.

Thank you parkslopecats member alexskolnick πŸ™πŸΌ

Honey-Tea & Marmalade (need to be adopted together - they're part of a bonded pair), Bart, and Billie & Belle taking in the sunbeams....

We've been seeking fosters or forever homes (in pairs) for this foursome & with them losing their space RIGHT NOW, the urgency has never been greater!

We're pairing a tabby with a black kitty as all four are bonded despite different ages.

Meet BartholoMEW (pale chocolate tabby 4 y/o), Smudge (black with white armpits, 9 months), Buddy ( grey tabby, 2y/o) & Winnie (black 9 months).... all are vetted, vaccinated, fixed, microchipped, negative on both fiv/felv.

Bart is gentle, loves pets & rolling around on the floor with his signature pose where he curls up his front paws. Buddy is very playful going bonkers over a laser & cat dancer and loves his playtime, mealtime and afternoon naps too; Sleek beauty Smudge (Belle) is sweet, will curl up with you to sleep, and enjoys both playtime and pets; Winnie (Billie) is shy at first and will take more time to warm up but bring out her favorite treat aka Churu and watch her come up to be your best friend 😹

When Bart and Buddy were fostered solo they cried so much for their buddies, it became clear that these four can only be in pairs with at least one of the foursome for company with the other. They are very bonded and siblings from different times.

They were rescued from a far-from-ideal home after their 85 y/o human passed away & despite promises, the deceased's brother in PA didn't take them in leaving it to the rescuers to save them. The tabbies even ended up getting into the kill list of the city shelter as they weren't thriving being separated from their bonded siblings & were quickly taken out by Maddy, Jean and Alex and they thrived and became happy cats.

Please give these sweet kitties a chance to know love and togetherness. Any combo of two would work... they love each other a lot, eat regular food (no special needs) and just like to play, eat, sleep, be around their human.

Most importantly they're losing their current space, so FOSTERS/ADOPTERS URGENTLY NEEDED!

Check out our links in bio / visit parkslopecats.org to fill out a form. NYC, NY, CT, NJ, MA, NH, DE, PA, VT all good! We'll drive out or you can pick up πŸ™πŸΌ We can help you with a starter kit too.

"We were rescued by Maddy from sad pasts but we look forward always to the hopeful futures that await us...as we take in .... like soaking in the that filters through the windows at chez Jean's on this cold wintry day. And keep hoping you adopt or foster us as we've to move out VERY soon! Γ€ bientΓ΄t!

In the meantime, a reminder that sunshine makes us happy 😊"

Several of the rescuers in and surroundings are desperately seeking fosters.

If you can't foster please share or like, and only if you can - donate food, litter or a bit towards vet bills - even as little as $5 or $20 makes a difference...

We are so grateful to those who help and also so grateful to those who share and like and/or give moral support.

To foster, please fill out a foster form at parkslopecats.org (link in bio) or DM the other rescuers. Two of Vicki Devor 's cats need URGENT fostering, as do 4 of mine. And one of hers is super urgent!

Kristoff, Marmalade, Winnie & Smudge - ALL under a year old, fully vetted, vaccinated, fixed, microchipped, litter-trained are seeking or . DM or email for info.

Also please help provide for . It's going to be a brutally cold week ahead.

An important PSA from - a slide show we made a while back to help get the message across (& have shared with others before on other sites).

And February which celebrates , and with just a couple of months away, tbh - truly ANY day seems like the purr-fect day to share this.

If you're set on making a feline-addition(s) to your home - you will invariably come across bonded pairs on rescuers', rescue groups’ posts & adoption sites.

Yet several inquirers often express their wish to separate the pair (or trio in certain cases) wanting to take only one of the kittens or cats (usually, and sadly, the one with lighter fur 😿). Or only want to adopt a single kitten and get upset when we gently say that two kittens are better than one.
It's important to explain why separating is not a good idea but rather a cruel one.

(Experienced cat-lovers already know about the perks of bonded pairs but others should know the
facts).

So here goes....explained in 10 slides :)

And why, even though it may seem antithetical - why TWO cats are easier and better than one! 😺😺 Especially if they already get along well.

Here's celebrating again...here are a few more of our in warm in . So very very grateful to you dear fosters!

Fostering truly saves lives and is the greatest help to rescuers! More pics of other cats in prior posts, but in this one sweet Kristoff (the kitty trapped on the Frozen night), Alex & Cally (rescued after spending 3 weeks trapped in an apartment after their human died, and no - they broke into a bag of dry food, the lady died in the hospital), Benny (who will need entropian surgery), and sweet Marmalade (who needs to adopted with his sister Honey) would LOVE to thank their Foster Hoomans and to ask you to open up your homes for fostering by going on our site (link in bio parkslopecats.org ) and filling out a foster app, and as a head start to go through the cat safety essentials on the "Resources" page πŸ™πŸΌπŸ™πŸΌπŸ™πŸΌπŸ™πŸΌπŸ’•

All the cats here are looking for so please check out our Adoptions page too 😺

Please note, I try to respond asap always, but if responses take upto 36- 48 hours it is NOT b/c we are ignoring you at all, but likely a cat-in-hand or a rescue is taking priority & I'm juggling multiple things, including multiple texts, emails, cat-care, feeding, cleaning, even bottle feeding (more on that later as I haven't even posted on several new unforeseen additions πŸˆπŸˆβ€β¬›πŸˆπŸˆβ€β¬›πŸˆπŸˆβ€β¬›) Sincere volunteers needed too!

Fostering truly saves lives and is the greatest help to rescuers!

Thanks on this Thursday.... Thank you so much to these kind individuals. We had new intakes this week and last, and new spay/neuter bills... I don't get the time to post each case at all times...so, pardon the delay on cat posts.
Thank you so much Cyrena for the food! And Laura and Rachael - your contribution helped towards the vet-care of two unfixed intakes. These two rescues (tabby brothers Bart and Buddy who are already fixed) would like to thank you on their behalf!πŸ™πŸ™
