Meet Carlos

Hi - I’m Carlos - and im hoping you’ll give me a chance to show you how sweet I am and how much I deserve a forever home . I’ve been let down multiple times in my short life but I promise , if you give me a chance and have some patience for me to acclimate to a new place with new people again, I’ll be a good boy! You see - I was found wandering outside all alone In the Bronx . I was rescued , neutered , and then kept by the lady who rescued me . But sadly - she kept me in a cage more than half the time because her cat didn’t like me! I gained  a  lot of weight from cheap dry food and little play or exercise weighing 20 pounds! Oh my! Eventually I was able to go to a foster home where I have been the only cat and was given the TLC i desperately needed. It took me quite a while to adjust to freedom and being able to relax and look out the window whenever I wanted. I was put on a diet, fed more wet food and weight loss dry  food! I am now down to 15 pounds and I feel so much better , and can even groom myself properly.  I love to play so much now , foster parents really have helped me learn how to play. Wand toys, laser pointers,  catnip , and chirping toys are my favorite . Sometimes though , I don’t know how to ask , and I might run and tap you to say “playtime “ sometimes , I might accidentally scratch you and I feel really bad .. in an effort to try and teach me better manners , the humans put me on some medicine called “Prozac “ but it’s a VERY low dose , I eat it in my food every morning and , it’s really helped me to relax and understand boundaries I never leaned before! Eventually - I hope I don’t have to be on it anymore , but for now it’s helpful . I would really like to have a new foster home that is home more and can continue my progress - or an understanding patient home that sees how special and cute I am!  I am neutered , negative for FIV and FELV , up to date on my vaccines and micro chipped.  To apply to adopt or foster me (Carlos!) email [email protected] or call Joan at  (718) 671-1695

Adoption Process
We wish to place cats only in secure, safe, stable, loving homes, and we are very careful in our review of the applications. Potential Pet-parents fill out an Adoption Application, we review the application, call the applicant, schedule a time for them to visit our cats. We check their references, call their veterinarian, and verify that their backup person who would take the cats if something happened to the adopter is on board. Then a Foster Agreement is completed. When all parties are happy, after about 2 weeks, we have the finalized Adoption Agreement sent to us.
