Cats In Queens Losing Their Home!

Please Help
Debbie in Queens, NY contacted us to let us know that she and 4 other people have been helping a woman in Queens who is being evicted on 9/8. The woman is elderly and disabled. She had 87 cats but through the combined efforts of all the people involved the number is now down to 54. While this woman did take on more cats than she could appropriately care for there are two important aspects of her story to consider.

She lives in an area were cats are dumped and left to starve on the streets. She has, with her own resources, fed over 100 cats on the streets in her area. She really wants to get these cats adopted and has also placed many cats in the past. As well, while she had financial resources, she paid for the vetting of sick and injured cats and spayed and neutered the ones in her care. Debbie and her friends will be working with this woman to insure that she has no more than 6 cats living with her in the future.

Pets Alive is trying to help. We are able to hold the cats for one month to enable Debbie time to continue to vet them and find homes for them so that they will not be euthanized. There is a tremendous need to find them homes as quickly as possible. The four people involved have drained all their financial resources in caring for the cats but remain passionately committed to finding homes for these kitties. They are even transporting 12 of the cats to rescues in Arizona and Texas that have accepted them. If you’d like to read more about the situation and how you can help please go to this link .

Some of the cats are under-socialized, some are semi-feral and others are feral. If you go to this inventory you can read a bit about each of the cats. Due to the focus on rescue and caring for the cats, Debbie and the other volunteers have not been able to photograph them – but we bet they are all beautiful!

If you can help by taking one or two of the cats or you would like to know more about them, please contact Debbie at: (718) 309-6161 or email her at: meows80@gmail.com.
