What a day!!!

Just when we thought the morning had already been chaotic enough, the day somehow managed to get even crazier. And this brutal weather certainly didn’t make anything easier!

First, we want to give a huge thank you to the FDNY firefighters who rescued a tiny kitten trapped inside a car and rushed him to Bay Street Animal Hospital. By pure coincidence, one of our volunteers was there with her own cat waiting to be seen when the firefighters brought in this little boy looking for help. Of course, she couldn’t walk away, and we agreed to take him in. We don’t know how long he has been alone or what happened to his mom and siblings, but this baby is painfully thin — you can count every bone in his tiny body.

Then, as we were settling in one crying baby, another volunteer contacted us. Her sister, along with several other kind-hearted people, had been trying to rescue a kitten trapped in a sewer. The poor little one had reportedly been stuck there since at least last night.

To make a very long story short — welcome to the SHFL family, little ones! ❤️

We are now looking for more permanent foster placements for both babies and will keep everyone updated on their journeys.

If you would like to help with their care and future medical expenses, we would be incredibly grateful for any contribution. Kitten season is absolutely overwhelming us right now. Medical bills are piling up, and we are constantly running low on food and supplies.

🆘FOSTER NEEDED - Staten Island, NY or Brooklyn as some vetting will need to be done! 🆘

You seriously can’t make this stuff up…

While we are still searching for a placement for Jim and Max, two 1-year-old brothers who are being returned to our rescue, we received another message: our handsome 🍊 boy Garnet is coming back too.

Garnet was adopted as a kitten in 2022 and has spent the last several years in what we thought would be his forever home.

The reason? He has started urinating outside of the litter box and has been showing aggression toward the resident female cat, although he gets along fine with the male cat.

One vet visit was done, some bloodwork was run, and he was placed on medication for the behavioral concerns for a couple of weeks. However, no urinary testing was performed and no ultrasound was done to rule out potential medical causes. Since the medication hasn’t produced an immediate fix, the decision has been made to return him back and make it the rescue’s problem

We don’t know yet whether Garnet’s issues are medical, behavioral, environmental, or a combination of factors. What we do know is that cats don’t suddenly start acting differently without a reason, and they deserve a thorough investigation before being labeled as “problem cats.”

The problem is that we cannot help Garnet while he remains in his current situation. To properly evaluate what is going on and give him the care he needs, we urgently need a foster home willing to take him in.

If you have a spare room, a quiet space, or experience with cats, please consider fostering Garnet. Fostering is the only way we can get him into a new environment, assess his behavior, pursue the diagnostics he may need, and figure out what is truly causing these issues.

If you can foster this boy, please complete the foster application using the link below ⬇️

P.S. as per his family he has no accidents since he has been separated from the female cat

🌈 Cara Cara is celebrating Pride Month in the most purr-fect way 😂— soaking up a rainbow of sunshine and reminding us that love comes in every color ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Even our sweet furry 🍊 girl knows that the world is a brighter place when everyone is free to be themselves. Happy Pride Month from Cara Cara and all of us at SHFL! 🐾🌈✨

P.S. Cara Cara is 1.5 yo, UTD on shots, FIV/FeLV negative, spayed, microchipped and is accepting the applications!

🎨 Did someone left the tattoo g@n unattended 😂?!

Our 10 week old sisters Eloise and Gertie are blooming! They arrived from a tattoo shop already covered in custom artwork! From swirling marble patterns to bold ink-like splashes and tiger-striped sleeves on their legs, they’re basically walking masterpieces!

The only thing better than their markings? Their silly sassy personalities 😍🐈!

And the best part - they are accepting the applications now (the adoption application link is in the first comment)

The sweetest reunion❤️ Mama Mocha and her kittens are together again after 24 hours apart, and all is right in their little world 🐾💕

P.S. Mocha Reilly is now spayed, vaccinated, FIV/FeLV negative! While her girl Latte and the boys Bean and Cappuccino are pending adoption, we still hope this mama has a chance to be adopted with either her lil tabby son Cocoa (just look at him giving mama a hug 😳) or her lil girl Macchiato, who always has her tail up!

Moro’s beautiful eyes tell the story of her journey. A severe eye infection left her with permanent corneal scars, giving her eyes a cloudy appearance. The best part? Her vision is back, and she navigates the world just like any other playful kitten. These special eyes are simply part of what makes Moro so unique and now we are happy to announce that Moro and Mononoke are accepting the pre-adoption applications!

The first special day for our amazing mama Mocha has arrived — her spay day! ❤️

Today marks the beginning of a new chapter for this wonderful girl. No more pregnancies, no more raising litter after litter, and a much lower risk of serious health issues such as pyometra and mammary gland tumors.

We are keeping our fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly today and that Mocha has a quick and comfortable recovery 🐾

And then we hope her next special day comes very soon 🥹 — the day she finds her forever family. A family who will cherish her, spoil her, and give her all the love she deserves after everything she has done for her babies.

Good luck today, sweet Mocha. Your future is looking brighter than ever ❤️🏡🐱
