Five-year-old Uli found herself homeless after her previous caretaker passed away. This sweet feline was dumped at a kill shelter, and the good folks at Brooklyn Bridge Animal Welfare Coalition couldn’t bear to see her left behind when she was the only cat left on an Animal Care and Control van at the end of […]

A Kitten Shower To Help Snowball
It’s kitten season, and shelters and rescue groups throughout the area are chock-full of kittens needing fosters, adopters, and…medical care. Our friends at Brooklyn Bridge Animal Welfare Coalition are holding a kitten shower this Saturday to help raise money for one particularly needy feline, and all the others they’re caring for this spring. Snowball needs […]
It’s A Great Weekend To Adopt A Cat–Fees Waived!
The good folks at Brooklyn Bridge Animal Welfare Coalition tell us that there’s no better time to adopt a rescued Brooklyn cat than now, and, really, who could argue? Thanks to the Maddie’s Pet Adoption Days promotion, a generous grant will cover your adoption fee on Saturday and Sunday at adoption events being held in […]
Lost dog in Brooklyn Bridge Park
This from our good friends at Brooklyn Bridge Animal Welfare Coalition: “I was riding my bike near Brooklyn Bridge Park yesterday and we found this little poodle / bichon sprinting down the street after nearly getting hit by a car. I’m pretty sure he’s really home sick. No tag or chip.” Please email BrooklynBridgeAnimals@yahoo.com if […]
BHB Adopt A Pet: Her Name is Lola, and She’s a Showgirl…
Snuggly Lola came from the same home that last month’s adoptable dog Bebe did: they were surrendered when their human was no longer able to take care of them. 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, […]
Looking For A Long-Term Relationship? Adopt Bebe!
On this Valentine’s Day, we kick off a new BHB feature, doing our part to help you find the love of your life. The good folks at the Brooklyn Bridge Animal Welfare Coalition work tirelessly to rescue, rehabilitate, and adopt cats, dogs, rabbits, and whatever other animals cross their path in need of assistance, so […]
Too Cute Comes To Brooklyn Heights
When Brooklyn Bridge Animal Welfare Coalition took in a pregnant cat who appeared after Hurricane Sandy, the organization had no idea that she would become a TV star. Juno gave birth to three of her own kittens, and then the magnanimous mom also adopted an orphan kitten, nursing her along with her own babies, who […]
Willowtown Spring Fair a Lively Event
A few desultory raindrops weren’t enough to dampen the spirits of those who attended yesterday’s Willowtown Spring Fair (though some of these photos may be slightly blurry because one of those raindrops found your correspondent’s camera’s lens). City Council Member Stephen Levin and his Chief of Staff Ashley Thompson were on the winning tug-of-war team. […]
