💗 HAPPY FOSTER MONDAY! MEET SIDNEY! 💗

Looking for a sweet, laid-back companion who enjoys cozy afternoons, window watching, and a little playtime? Sidney might just be your girl! 🐱💕

Our adorable girl Sidney has been making wonderful progress in foster! This little lady is all about the simple pleasures in life: stretching out on the couch, watching birds from the window, playing with her favorite wand toy, and finding the perfect spot for an afternoon nap. 🛋️🐦❤️

Sidney is a calm and independent girl who doesn't need to be the center of attention to be happy. She's perfectly content exploring her surroundings, napping nearby, and keeping her humans company from a comfortable distance. When she's feeling playful, she loves her scratcher and feather wand! This girl is toothless so her adopter will have to keep her on a soft food diet. 

One of the sweetest things about Sidney is watching her confidence grow. When she first arrived in foster, she was nervous and preferred to keep to herself. Little by little, she's been coming out of her shell! She has started accepting pets, purring, making biscuits, and showing off more of her personality every day. She's also shown positive interest in her foster's resident cat, showing that she may enjoy having a feline friend in her forever home! 🐱❤️

Her dream home? A calm and loving space where she can explore at her own pace, enjoy her favorite toys, and curl up for a nap knowing she's safe and loved. She doesn't ask for much, just a little patience, understanding, and a cozy place to call her own. 🏡

✨ Could Sidney be your purrrrfect match? ✨

Visit the Bideawee website to submit an adoption application and learn more about this sweet girl! Sidney is ready to find her forever home and continue blossoming with someone special. 🐱🏡💕

Snake is still waiting for his happy ending. ❤️

At just 8 months old, Snake has already been through a lot. He and his two brothers were abandoned at a retail store before thankfully making their way to Bideawee, where they’ve been showered with love and care.

Both of Snake’s brothers have since found their forever homes, but somehow, this sweet boy is still waiting for his turn.

Snake was born with a heart condition that will need occasional monitoring, but he doesn’t currently require medication. We’re hoping someone will see past his diagnosis and give him the loving home he deserves.

Visit Snake at our Chelsea location and go to www.bideawee.org for more information.

💙HAPPY FOSTER FRIDAY! MEET FELIX! 🐾

Some cats like their independence. Not Felix. This sweet young guy would much rather be your little shadow! 🐱💕

Felix, our adorable and affectionate boy, believes everything is better when you're together! This sweetheart is currently enjoying life in foster, where he's proving to be the ultimate companion. Wherever his humans go, Felix is never too far behind!

Felix is incredibly playful, loving, and social! Every morning, he greets his foster with a big stretch and the sweetest purrs, his own adorable way of saying good morning. He absolutely LOVES getting pets and never misses an opportunity to soak up some attention. 🥰 

He's also made a special friend in foster! Felix has bonded with another foster kitten, showing just how much he enjoys feline companionship. Between playing with his kitty friend and spending time with his humans, this social butterfly has plenty of love to go around!

Felix has also overcome quite a lot. After tragically being hit by a car earlier this year, he suffered multiple fractures to his pelvis. Thanks to plenty of rest and care, his fractures have completely healed! 💪 He is back to running, jumping, playing, and enjoying life and his veterinary team doesn't expect any lasting issues.

Now, Felix is ready for his next chapter, and he's looking for someone who appreciates a little shadow with a big personality!

✨ Could Felix be your new best friend? ✨
Visit the Bideawee website to submit an adoption application and learn more about this lovable boy! Felix is ready to bring endless purrs, playtime, and plenty of love to his forever home. 🏡

Sweet Gertie has been waiting nearly eight months for a home, and we can’t understand why this wonderful girl is still being overlooked! ❤️

Gertie is sweet, silly, and has so much love to give. She loves getting outside for walks, rolling around in the grass, and spending time with her favorite people. She’s smart, affectionate, and has a goofy smile that’s hard not to love!

Gertie can sometimes feel overwhelmed around unfamiliar people or dogs, and she can be protective of her food. Our team has been working with her, and she’s made wonderful progress! She just needs a patient, understanding family who will continue helping her succeed. She may also do well with a larger dog after a successful introduction.

We know Gertie won’t be the right match for everyone, but we also know there’s someone out there who will love her for exactly who she is. We just wish they’d find her!

Gertie is available for adoption at our Wantagh location. To meet her, please submit an online application through our website.

Can’t adopt? Please share Gertie’s story and help us find the home she’s been waiting for. ❤️

Oh, its official; there is a potent lovebug going around in Westhampton, and his name is Loki! 🐱

Loki is a handsome 4-year-old ginger boy with a heart as big as his adventurous spirit! 🐱 Loki is as sweet and affectionate as they come, and he’s ready to settle into a home where he can be someone’s adorable, furry sidekick. He gets along great with other cats and will make a fun, loving companion. ❤️ Meet him today at our Westhampton location!

Can you believe this ADORABLE, 3-year-old, 16 pound floofy little guy has been with us for more than a year?!?

His name is Iago, and to be fair, he has been in a foster home, but still… We’re eager to find Iago the loving, permanent home he deserves.

So, why so we think Iago hasn’t been scooped up yet? We’ll tell you. Iago was extremely nervous when he arrived from Texas. In fact, that’s why he went to foster. We had hoped that being in a foster home would give him a chance to decompress and feel more comfortable, and that’s exactly what’s happened.

Iago’s foster dad was incredibly patient with him and gave Iago all the time he needed to feel comfortable and come around on his own terms. And now, Iago is like a completely different dog with his foster dad: playing, snuggling, zoomies, and SO affectionate and devoted.
So much so, that when he has meet and greets with potential adopters, he comes off as standoffish and only wants to be by his foster dad’s side. But his foster dad can’t keep him and wants people to know that with time and patience, Iago will form that bond with them too. ❤️ He just needs someone to give him the same love, patience and opportunity that his foster dad did.

You can meet Iago by submitting an online application.

🐾💗 HAPPY FOSTER MONDAY! MEET MITATSU! 💗🐾

Some cats are professional athletes. Mitatsu? She's more of a professional napper with a very important snack schedule. 🐱💕

Meet Mitatsu, our adorable 9-year-old lady who has mastered the art of relaxing! This sweet girl is currently enjoying life in foster.

Mitatsu loves curling up beside her people while they watch TV or read, enjoying cozy naps, and occasionally showing off her playful side with toys. Lately, she's been making some exciting progress! As she's lost a little weight, she's become more active, more playful, and even more interested in watching the birds outside. 🐦✨

She's also found her voice! Mitatsu has started meowing, chirping, and even giving her foster a little tap on the leg when she thinks it's time for treats. 💕

Mitatsu is a girl who knows what she wants and she enjoys cuddles on her own terms. The colder weather has brought about more snuggling for this girl. 👑🐾 

Mitatsu has FLUTD (Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease), which requires a lifelong prescription diet, a kidney supplement, and regular veterinary monitoring. With the right care, this lovely lady can continue enjoying her cozy, relaxed lifestyle.

Her ideal forever home? Somewhere calm and comfortable, with a cozy couch, a window for birdwatching, and a human who appreciates quiet companionship. 🏠

Mitatsu has settled beautifully into foster life, but she's ready to find a forever home where she can spend her golden years being loved, spoiled (within her diet, of course! 🤗), and completely herself.

✨ Could you be Mitatsu's perfect match? ✨

Visit the Bideawee website and select "foster" as the location to submit an adoption application and learn more about this sweet and silly lady! 

Let's help Mitatsu trade her foster home for a forever one. 🐱🏡💗
