We’re a small nonprofit helping community cats in North Brooklyn, NYC, through Trap-Neuter-Return and adoptions.
ABOUT NORTH BROOKLYN CATS
North Brooklyn Cats is an all-volunteer 501c3 cat rescue group dedicated to helping abandoned, displaced, and feral cats and kittens, primarily in northern Brooklyn.
We find permanent and foster homes for adoptable cats and kittens. We practice trap‐neuter‐return (“TNR”) to relieve overpopulation and suffering among free-roaming and feral cats while working with community cat caretakers to help maintain the health and well-being of local feral cat colonies. The work ranges from getting lifesaving vet care for sick or injured feral cats to taking in orphaned newborn kittens that need round the clock bottle feeding and specialized care.
We are a tiny group with limited resources and no shelter facility. Please understand that we may not be able to answer every request for help. We believe it’s vital to involve and educate community members about doing their own TNR projects and helping cats in need that they encounter. We are in constant need of foster homes to care for our cats until they are ready of adoption. Please reach out if you can foster or donate!

All requests for assistance MUST include your location (address, neighborhood or nearest intersection) and one or two clear photos of the cat or situation. No requests for help on behalf of someone else. Requests must come directly from the person wanting help unless that person is disabled or doesn’t speak English.
