Senior cat, Joan is curled up in her foster home and dreaming of her future family.🩷 Joan was found on the cold streets in the Bronx. Being as sweet as she is tells us she was once somebody’s cat, but whoever that somebody was didn’t care about her. They kept her outside, and she developed an upper respiratory infection that was so severe she had to be hospitalized. But we care, Joan. And your golden years will be spent surrounded by love.

Joan is loving life as an indoor cat. Her favorite activity is napping near her person, and at night Joan is extra cuddly, craving human affection and curling close to her foster mom. When she’s not sleeping, she perches by the window, gazing out at Central Park and chirping at the birds flying by. Joan is 11 years old, but she’s still very playful and will chase toys. She’s in good health and is ready to be the queen of the castle and get all the love and cuddles she deserves.

Apply to adopt Joan on our website at nycsecondchancerescue.org/adopt

A few weeks ago, we received a disturbing call for help for a 16-year-old cat whose owners wanted to euthanize her.

The entire story is just heartbreaking. Not too long ago, Fancy Nancy’s feline housemate died, and Nancy went into a depression. She became withdrawn and would meow constantly, trying to find the friend who was no longer with her.

The vet said the owner came into the hospital to euthanize her, stating her husband demanded it or he would kill the cat himself. 😡

Did your jaw drop? Ours sure did.

The vet called us immediately, asking for us to take Fancy Nancy in. Of course, we said YES.💪 We’ve all felt heartache and loss—animals are not so different. Nancy was mourning, and it almost cost her life.

This weekend, Fancy Nancy will be leaving the clinic and coming to us in search of a REAL home. She is a certified old lady and spends most of her day sleeping and stretching out in whatever bits of sunshine she can find. And she’d very much like to do that for the rest of her days in the safety of a loving home.

Please help us give Fancy Nancy the love and peace she deserves. Adoption applications can be found at nycsecondchancerescue.org/adopt

🐾 We are looking for a new foster home for Sheba. Can you help? 🐾

Sheba is 11-years-old and in need of a loving foster home after her owner recently passed away. 📍She is currently located in Marion, NC.

We are looking for someone cat-savvy who can provide her with the care and understanding she needs during this difficult transition. She is hyperthyroid and her body is adjusting to new medication. Laps and Naps will provide what you need to care for Sheba while she is in foster care.

Sheba is a sweet and independent girl, but adjusting to a new environment will take some patience and love. If you have experience with cats and can give Sheba a safe, temporary home, please reach out!

Let’s work together to find her the perfect place to land. SHARE this post to help spread the word!

If you’re interested or want more details, please send a message or email us at: [email protected]
