Kobe Wants To Sweeten Up Your Life!
Who’s sweeter than poor abandoned Kobe? We learned about this poor feline soul through the Brooklyn Bridge Animal Welfare Coalition, who’s helping the rescue-friendly Park Slope Vet Center find this guy a home.

Friday’s Adoptable Pet: Benny the Couch Potato
From our good friends at Brooklyn Bridge Animal Welfare Coalition: Eight-year-old Benny was rescued from a Woodhaven backyard. Left behind when his family moved away, he tried to survive in a local feral colony, but this sweet housecat didn’t have the chops for street life: he’d try to get in on the colony food, but […]
BBAWC Adoption Event Sunday
The good folks at Brooklyn Bridge Animal Welfare Coalition will be parked (literally!) on Montague Street on Sunday with an adoption van full of adorable felines from 11 am to 4 pm. City Chemist has graciously offered the space in front of their shop at Henry and Montague. BBAWC rescues cats and kittens (and pretty much […]
Left Behind Twice, Uli Is Ready For A Home To Call Her Own!

BHB Adopt A Pet: Her Name is Lola, and She’s a Showgirl…

Pulled from Animal Care and Control three months ago, both Lola and Bebe have been living in Heights foster care ever since. Despite the strain of […]
Little Pluto Wants Your World to Revolve Around Him!
Like his namesake planetary body, our Pluto is a little guy, but his heart and his spirit belie his physical stature. Rescued from a hoarder house with two other cats, he had stopped eating and developed a type of anorexia, but in the care and comfort of his Brooklyn Heights foster mother’s home, he’s become […]
Who Needs Groundhogs? You Can Have Your Own Shadow!
Like his namesake, Shadow is tough to capture, at least in a photograph; this 7-month-old wonder boy almost never stops moving, and posing for pictures is not his preference when there’s a whole world to explore and other cats to play with. Part of a litter that was rescued in Sunnyside, Queens, this long-legged, silky, […]
