Urgent foster needed! A couple days ago a worker at noticed a cat carrier left in front of on Knickerbocker. The shop wouldn't open for several hours so they kept the cat with them until we could pick him up. We took him to the vet and found that he's a 2-3 year old neutered male, no microchip. He's also extremely freaked out being at our place. He gets calm (and chatty!) once he's outside our house so we think he just gets stressed out by other cats. So we need to find him a solo-cat foster home ASAP.

We've been calling him "Jimbo" for the time being. He's in good health, negative for FIV/FeLV, up to date on vaccines, received flea/worm meds and is now microchipped. Please let us know if you can foster him, we can supply a litterbox and food to start off. From there we'll work on finding him a permanent home.

Our beautiful new arrival, who is about seven months old, was dumped in McCarren Park along with three other lovely cats this morning. scooped them up and this one is joining North Brooklyn Cats. She will be available for adoption as soon as she is spayed next week.

These kittens were pulled from a wall in a garage. We think the mom cat stashed them there but then may have been unable to reach them. By the time they got to us they were room temperature and barely moving. We slowly warmed them up and gave small amounts of formula. The mother cat was also trapped so when the kittens were better we reunited them. But mom wanted nothing to do with them. So we're bottle feeding them for now and mom is getting spayed for a quick return to her neighborhood.The kittens are probably a month old but very underweight and feeble. One of them is doing better than the others, he can at least eat solid food on his own. But the others don't seem to recognize it as food and rely on the bottle.

Kittens may be cute but in the wild 75% of them don't make it to 1 year. We're trying to help but what would really help is widespread TNR (trap-neuter-return) to help control the population so these unwanted kittens never exist in the first place. The city has proposed providing $1.5M in funding for spay/neuter services in 2026. This is great to see but that money will evaporate in the face of what's really needed here. But it's a start, and the first time in a while the city has put some real money towards this specific issue. Make sure your city council rep is on board with this, it's not official until they pass the FY26 budget.
