There must be someone who will buy

Fresh baked kittens this Saturday!

For several weeks now I have been taking the 'good' kittens to an adoption event in Williamsburg. Muddy Paws pet store has been kind enough to let North Brooklyn Cats set up cages (and even a pup tent full of kittens!) out back so we can get our cats some much-needed exposure. This weekend is especially noteworthy because it's National Feral Cat Day. To commemorate this auspicious day, we will be holding a bake sale at the adoption event, with all proceeds going to The Toby Project. If you recall, this is the amazing service that fixed 19 of our cats a few weeks back. They are incredibly dedicated and on such a shoestring budget that anything we can do to help is worth it.

Added to that, David Hyde Pierce and Brian Hargrove are sponsoring a fund drive currently, in which they will match all donations until they reach $50,000. So our proceeds will doubly benefit this great service. If you are in the area on Saturday from 2-6pm, please stop buy, buy a little something-something, and play with the kittens! what else were you really gonna accomplish this weekend?

Muddy Paws is best reached from the L train at Graham. It's a few blocks north of the station, 447 Graham, between Frost and Richardson. I recommend buying pet supplies here as well, they have a great selection of stuff for a small, independent pet store, and once again, they've been incredibly helpful to our cause.

It's gonna take you years to find out I'm not giving up

Eldert gets ready to move out

Kitten Taming 101 continues, and produces its first graduate! Eldert, as the orange tabby kitten was known, has been adopted! He is the first of the bunch to go to a new home, where he will live with two lady cats. I am hoping that at least 2 of the remaining kittens will be adopted out together but I have to admit, if we separate them they are more likely to tame properly. Read More »

Homeward bound

Nifty

Nifty shows off his new home in our yard

The Eldert Street TNR cats have all been released … in our yard.

We had been thinking that our neighbor was overly burdened with cats she wasn't even sure she wanted, so we decided it was worth the gamble to release the cats in our yard. The cats, although territorial, should be able to figure out where they were from and could decide if they wanted to stay with us or go home. Read More »

A cry for help, a hint of anesthesia

Journeyman

Journeyman, our first trapped feral

The last 7 days have been some of the most stressful in recent memory. Last Thursday I got word that we had a Toby Project mobile spay clinic booked … for the following Tuesday. We had been planning a big TNR (trap-neuter-return) project for the feral cats living behind my neighbor's house for a while but booking the truck was the big unknown. Read More »

Feeling Minnesota

Jeannie's mom reunites with former school chum Nick, at his bar

I've been officially back from vacation for 8 hours and I'm already looking for some place to hide. I'm sure it's just the initial surge of work/stress rushing into the vacuum of leisure time and once the worst of it is over it will all feel normal again. But until then, ugh. Anyway, here's what I did last week. Read More »
