ABOUT

Who We Are

From the moment we rescue a cat—regardless of age—we treat them as our own. They receive full grooming, comprehensive medical care, and all the comforts they could want: cozy beds, toys to take with them to their forever home, healthy wet and dry food, and, most importantly, tons of love. We spend time holding, playing with, and making each cat as happy as possible while we search for the perfect home to match their personality.


Our service is deeply personal. It’s not about the number of adoptions—it’s about the care, happiness, and safety of each cat in our rescue. We personally deliver every cat to their new home, help them settle in, and stay in touch with the adopters. Often, we even place another cat with the same family down the line.

We are a small, foster-based rescue with no central facility. Our operations are based in East Northport/Huntington area, where we host adoption events and arrange private meet-and-greets with our foster cats.

We are passionate about educating the public on the importance of reducing cat overpopulation. We can’t take in large numbers of cats at once, but we offer advice, fund spay/neuter procedures for community cats, and help other rescuers with medical and food expenses so they can continue their important work.


We’ve also supported dog rescue efforts and provided food for families struggling to keep their pets during difficult times.

We may be a small rescue, but we operate with enormous heart.

We are 100% volunteer-run, and 100% funded by donations
