Forgotten Felines

Foster home ( or Permanent home) needed for Batman (blk) and Gabby (blk/wht) rescued from a filthy colony full of garbage and maggots. They’re approx 4 months old fully vetted, not crazy about being held but are both purr machines & enjoy a good petting session. There are more kittens that need rescuing from there but we can’t help them till we can find a place for these two to go.

Handsome Huey got around his cone after his neuter last week and cut up his under eyes. All scabbed up and healing now, & he’s still a 10/10 for looks in my book. He got a nice bath cleanup yesterday at Westchester Cat Grooming and he’s put on some weight. Now it’s just about finding him the perfect forever home.

Why does it seem like so many people are looking for kittens that are simply “free” or “someone needs to get rid of them”, but not necessarily looking for 𝙑𝙀𝙏𝙏𝙀𝘿 kittens⁉️

Do you really want to bring home a kitten who hasn't been vaccinated against common illnesses? Do you want to risk bringing contagious diseases into your home that could spread to the other pets you already love? Of course not!

Are you able to take on the cost of vaccines, veterinary care, and spay/neuter yourself and potentially wait weeks or months for an appointment???

Kittens can go into heat and become 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘢𝘴 𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘺 𝘢𝘴 4 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘴 𝘰𝘭𝘥. 😱😱 A young cat can slip out the door during mating season, driven by instincts they don't understand, and suddenly you have an unplanned pregnancy on your hands.

❌ Then may find yourself posting “free kittens” too. ❌
And just like that, the cycle continues. 💔

How can you 🄲🄷🄰🄽🄶🄴 that vicious cycle?? 👇🏽👇🏽

✅ Adopt from a reputable shelter or rescue whenever possible. ✅ Choose a kitten who has received appropriate veterinary care. ✅ Ask questions.
✅ Make sure they are vaccinated, flea-treated, dewormed, and have at least have a plan for spay/neuter.

And if you're getting a kitten from someone giving them away, 𝗣𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗘 𝗗𝗢𝗡'𝗧 𝗟𝗘𝗧 "𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘" 𝗕𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗢𝗡𝗟𝗬 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗦.
Because that kitten isn't really free if they come with preventable illness, unexpected veterinary expenses, an unplanned litter, or a lifetime of consequences.

🛑 STOP THE CYCLE.
