Small rescue focusing on finding "furever" homes for stray, surrendered unwanted cats and kittens.
Feral Cat TNR (Trap, Spay-Neuter, Return) Assistance. The humane Approach is used only.
We exist by donations only. Please save your empty aluminum cans (white inside). Returnable bottles/cans, electric cords, and car batteries are accepted. Call for pick up or drop off.
We also sell delicious Gertrude Hawk Chocolate Bars in a variety of flavors throughout the year.
We are always looking for foster homes for our cats and kittens.
Cat and Kitten Rescue focuses on the Utica, New York area including New Hartford, New York Mills, Whitesboro, and Yorkville.
Our preliminary questions and policies: We have lots and lots of kittens! Adoption Procedures: Current/past pets? Proof of long-time ownership by vet records or courtesy call to practice, vet? -were they fixed, or kept up to date? Rent/own your home? If you rent, landlord permission. Our litters are fel/fiv tested, spayed/neutered, vaccinated to appropriate age, dewormed, flea free and NOT FREE. Set up a time to meet the litters, fill out a contract agreeing to be indoors and no declawing and $20 non-refundable deposit to hold the kitten of your choosing. A home visit must also be completed. There is an adoption fee. (Due to COVID-19 in lieu of a home visit video of the living space is required)
Our litters/cats receive lots of love, and attention, and learn home skills - interacting in all environments, with other cats, dogs, and all ages of people - our hearts and souls go into raising them - we want you to find the right one and them to have a forever home.
