Can you take my cat(s)?
This is by far the most frequently asked question, and the answer is almost always no. Even when people offer to give me money or  buy me more cages, there is just so much one person can do. My shelter here in Brooklyn is almost always filled to capacity.

How do I go about finding a home for my cat?
Make fliers, preferably with a photo. Your cat should be neutered, tested and recently vaccinated before you start advertising for a home. Put your fliers anywhere you can in nice neighborhoods. When people call, ask questions: Find out what happened to their last cat. Ask why they want a pet. And charge an adoption fee: I once had somebody say to me, "No, we didn't take it to the vet. We got it for free; why should we spend money on it?"

Where do you get your cats from?
The cats that come here have nowhere else to go. Many have been abandoned, some are kittens born to feral cats (which are trapped and spayed to prevent further litters whenever possible) and a few come from people who have found them or have pets they can no longer keep.

What is your adoption procedure?
I'll ask you some questions (you're welcome to ask questions back) and there's an adoption fee to cover part of my medical expenses. Since all of my cats are neutered, vaccinated and tested, that's a pretty good deal.

What if the adoption doesn't work out?
You return the cat. You select another  cat -- or get a refund.

How do you pay for what you do? Are you with an organization? Do you get a subsidy?
I work alone and pay all costs myself. I do not seek donations: this is an anti-profit enterprise.

I'd like to volunteer. Is there anything I can do?
Sometimes I need transportation (my car-owning friends aren't always available) and if you wanted to foster a timid kitten and socialize it so it could be adopted, that would be great. But my shelter is in my apartment; I live with the cats I'm caring for and get to know their personalities and health status by maintaining their cages and litter boxes myself.

There's a bunch of cats in my neighborhood and they keep having kittens. What should I do?
Let's talk. I'll help you all I can.
