Blog – Cat Castle NYC

New baby beans from yesterday! These 3 loves from Jackson Heights come from the same colony as the Diaz Girls + Popcorn litter earlier this year, as well as baby Comet! Thanks to the amazing feeders & trappers @michibabi and family, we’re on target to make good progress in this colony and think we can get them all fixed before 2020! 💃🏽 These guys pooped majorrrr worms 🐛 yesterday after their intake protocol here 😷 Which I would like to use as a chance to share a friendly reminder — if you find kittens on the street, DO NOT JUST GIVE THEM AWAY TO A FRIEND OR FAMILY MEMBER OR SOMEONE ONLINE. They need immediate medical attention before going to a home. Please find a local rescue group or shelter to surrender the cats to so they can receive proper treatment. You can always refer your friends to adopt from the organization. Cats, ESPECIALLY kittens, must be vetted properly before going to their furever families! Spare everyone the worms, the parasites, the fleas, mites, and eye infections. Wouldn’t you rather pay a small adoption fee than pay hundreds at the vet yourself, or worse, having the kittens die because the adopters didn’t know how to vet kittens at home? Seriously. Go to the pros. We don’t want to “steal” your kittens, we WANT your friends to adopt them back, just after they’re healthy. This issue comes up over and over again when people ask me to take cats or retract their requests, and it’s really frustrating. I just want to help cats get healthy, and I hate that often people see me as trying to steal or take away their newfound cats or talk down to them. I’m not doing that. Cat rescue is a profession, so come to a professional please 🙏🏽😩🤞🏽✨
