Make This Mother’s Day Unforgettable & Meaningful.

Spring is here and so is Mother's Day. What a beautiful time of a year, after the long winter! At NYC Rescued Kitties, we appreciate the efforts of mothers to raise their offspring, even under the most difficult of conditions.
Clean water, a fresh supply of food, and a warm, secure shelter are absolute necessities for raising a strong and healthy litter of kittens. Unfortunately, these vital prerequisites are not easy to find,especially in the big city.

Even as the trees bear leaves and flowers bloom, countless unwanted kittens are being born into filthy, disease-ridden surroundings, and beginning their short lives with handicaps that are impossible to overcome. That's where
NYC Rescued Kitties steps up to the plate. We provide food, shelter, medicine, and a safe environment for abandoned and suffering cats and kittens. We rescue them from the streets, basements, alleys, parks, and the heartless city shelters. However, we can't do it without your help.

NYC Rescued Kitties is a not-for profit, all-volunteer, cat-rescue group. We are registered with New York State . We rescue cats from the mean streets of the big city. We vet, fix, feed, foster, and comfort them until we find good homes for them. We take care of more than 100 cats at a time. WE ARE NON-KILL. We do not put animals down because they’re sick or unadoptable or to make room for others.

To feed and vet our homeless cats, NYC Rescued Kitties operates its own on-line store and thrift boutique. 100% of the proceeds from the sales of all our items directly benefit our kitties. Now you can use PayPal to safely donate or purchase. Please visit NYC Rescued Kitties’ website and navigate the PayPal button from there by scrolling down. Below are just a few examples of some beautiful items available for purchase.

Donating or shopping through the NYC Rescued Kitties owned on-line boutiques it’s one way of helping. Another way of support is to join our organization on iGive.com, an on-line mall that gathers 700+ stores like Macy’s, 1-800-Flowers, Barnes & Noble, Dell, Victoria’s Secret, Nordstrom, Travelocity, J & R, and many more. At iGive.com a percentage of each of your purchases will directly benefit NYC Rescued Kitties. This money will not come out of your pocket. It will be donated by the store where you’ve shopped. Since you are going to buy a mother's day gift or send flowers, why not do it through the iGive.com stores and help the cats at the same time?

To register NYC Rescued Kitties as the charity of your choice, just follow this link

Another way of helping our organization care for the homeless and stray cats is using a free search engine called iSearch iGive. Each time you use iSearch iGive, you’ll help raise 2 cents for NYC Rescued Kitties. 2 cents doesn’t look like a lot but if many people do it, it will add up.

Please remember to register NYC Rescued Kitties before proceeding with your searches. Follow this link for convenient registration.

Finally, you can consider becoming a parent-sponsor of a kitty. For just $30 a month, you’ll help NYC Rescued Kitties pay for a month’s supply of food and litter. Just $1 a day could make a difference to a desperate CAT or kitten. Why not sponsor a rescued kitty in the name of the person who loves you the most: The one who brought you into this world? To access the list of kitties available for sponsorship and adoption, please visit NYC Rescued Kitties’ web site

In these hard economic times, donations have come to a trickle, so who's going to help these stray cats? NYC Rescued Kitties will. We do the hard work in the trenches, but we need animal lovers to help financially. Now, many people feel bad or sad but they don't take action and actually do something. They tend to think that everything is fine or that someone else will do it. The truth is: Individual responsibility can make the difference.

Life is beautiful but people have to pitch in to help keep it that way! We hope you'll spring into action and make a small donation. Please help us by passing this message on to other people who love animals and might want to help them survive.

Yes! I want to help NYC Rescued Kitties.

I will donate $_________

Birthday Girl donates presents to NYC Kitties

Turning 8 was a great day for Delaney Dietzgen, but it was even greater for hundreds of homeless kitties!

Delaney, who adores all animals, especially cats and dogs, decided to have her friends bring money to her birthday party instead of presents so she could donate the money to New York City Rescued Kitties to help out homeless and hungry cats. Her kindness and generosity helped to raise over $300.00 for the charity. Along with her check, she sent this note: Dear Kitties, I am giving you this money from my 8th birthday party. I hope it helps to keep you warm. I also hope it will buy you lots of good food to eat. I'll be praying that you find good homes soon!-Love, Delaney We hope Delaney will be an inspiration to other young people to open their hearts to those less fortunate. We thank and applaud you Delaney Dietzgen for your wonderful act of kindness!



If you would like to be like Delaney and make a donation to us, please contact us at 212.353.9783 or nyckitties@yahoo.com. Thank you!

CASSIOPIA NEEDS SURGERY

New York City Rescued Kitties is a no-kill shelter. However, that doesn't mean that every animal we care for lives a long life. Many creatures that we take in are in such poor health, they require immediate medical attention. Even then, not all survive.

Cassiopia is one such animal. She's a gentle 11-year-old brown-and-white Norwegian Forest Cat. She was found in a lot on the Lower East Side with her brother, Jupiter, when she was 2 months old. Her brother only lived another year.

Cassiopia somehow survived the mean streets of the big city, but she faces new struggles: a half-inch stone in her bladder and rotten teeth. She needs an operation and major dental work.

Please donate something to help Cassiopia get well. Even a small amount would help. If you prefer to donate directly to Cassiopia's veterinary hospital, please contact New York City Rescued Kitties for details. Call 212.353.9783 or e-mail nyckitties@yahoo.com.

If enough people care, animals such as Cassiopia might have a chance to live a full life, free of suffering.
