Adoptable Cuties: Kitten Cavalcade At Dog Habitat!
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Crazy Cat Lady, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
Earlier this week I was contacted by Jay Lombard of Dog Habitat. He told me they had a few new residents of the feline persuasion. Needless to say I had to make the acquaintance of these guys (and gals) STAT. Yesterday this came to pass. Without further ado here they are!
First up, a trio of kittens found in Queens:
And how can we forget Mangus? The rather friendly (and furry) chap whose image graces the beginning of this post!
You can (and should) see more photos of these adoptable cuties and a few of their canine pals at Dog Habitat’s web site. Otherwise anyone interested in meeting these little ones and giving them the loving home they deserve should contact the folks at Dog Habitat at: rescue (at) doghabitat (dot) org or (347) 203 – 3934.
Thanks!
In closing, I feel compelled to write that tomorrow, May 22nd, Glasslands Gallery will be hosting an benefit for Dog Habitat. You can get more details (and purchase tickets) by clicking here.

Adoptable Cutie Cavalcade!
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Crazy Cat Lady, East Williamsburg, East Williamsburg Brooklyn, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
Last week was quite a lively one for yours truly— and not exactly in a good way. For this reason I decided to get a little kitten therapy at North Brooklyn Cats’s adoption event at Muddy Paws. Now only did I get my “cute fix”, but I also shot footage of some kittens who would very much like a home. Maybe yours? Without further ado here they are!
The Celestial Kittens
This trio was found in a plastic bag near the Cloisters and turned over to Animal Care and Control. My friend (and cat mom extraordinaire), Lisa, sprung them loose and is nursing them back to health. Although it will be some time before Sky, Heaven and Angel will be old enough for adoption, I cannot resist sharing the above footage. WARNING/CAVEAT: be prepared for heart-wrenching cuteness!
Bubbles & Friends
I did not get the names of all these little ones but above chap is named “Bubbles”. He appears to be the most subdued of the lot— as you will soon see. Enjoy!
North Brooklyn Cats has a number of other cats and kittens eagerly awaiting homes. You can see a few of them by checking out their page on Adopt-a-Pet’s web site. You can view more pictures of the Celestial kittens (including more live footage) by clicking here. In closing, anyone interested in giving any of these fetching felines a home can contact (and “like”) North Brooklyn Cats via their Facebook page which can be found here.

New York Shitty Video Du Jour: Nora Likes Cake
Filed under: 11211, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
Yesterday I swung by Muddy Paws to meet the latest batch of adoptable cuties North Brooklyn Cats has to offer. There were some real stunners. Including this beauty named Nora. This little lass found my pumpkin cake of particular interest— and I could not bring myself to deny her a taste. Enjoy!

Eric (who forwarded the above photographs of this very cute kitten cluster) writes:
Hi Miss Heather,
I saw these little guys by lite bites today. Kristin informed me that they were taken from their mother at 3 weeks at a McGuiness Blvd. apartment building, and she raised them since. They look in extremely good shape and seem very well mannered.
Kristin has no computer and needs to get these guys homes before she gets in landlord hot-water as payment for her good deed.
Anyone interested in providing these kittens a loving home should contact Kristin via email at: karmacat51(at) aol (dot) com. Or better yet via telephone:

TODAY: Cats & Cakes
Rebecca (of the New York City Feral Cat Initiative) writes:
Hi Miss Heather,
First of all, thank you so much for posting about last week’s event! We had a good turn out, but we still have lots of adorable cats and kittens waiting to find homes. This Saturday we are having another bigger event with all our adoptable kitties and a bake sale. The event will be at 95 North 6th Street in Williamsburg from 2-6pm.
If you don’t mind posting about another cat related event, we’d really appreciate your help, and it would be wonderful if you could stop by!
Duly posted! As to whether or not I can swing by, who’s to say? I have a very busy weekend ahead of me!

Help Wanted: Foster Mom (Or Dad)
Filed under: 11222, Crazy Cat Lady, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic
This little one (which the folks at Dog Habitat have named “Socks”) was recently found in a backyard in Greenpoint. He is three weeks old and I have been told was in pretty rough shape. Thanks to our very own Greenpoint vet and the folks of Dog Habitat he is doing much better— but still needs the help of a very special person. May be you? Jay writes:
Heather,
Do you know any body who could help care for a 3 week-old kitten? we have formula and medication from his visit to the vet. we just need an extra pair of hands to help feed the little guy… we can take care of him tonight and tomorrow if there’s someone who can switch off for the weekend.
It goes without saying that someone who has experience with neo-natal cats is preferred. If you have what it takes please contact the folks at Dog Habitat via email at: rescue (at) doghabitat (dot) org. They can also be reached via telephone at (347) 689 – 4000.
Thanks!

Adoptable Cuties: It’s Raining Cats At Dog Habitat!
Filed under: 11222, Crazy Cat Lady, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic
Jay Lombard writes (in an email entitled “Kittens, Kittens and MORE Kittens”):
It’s raining cats at Dog Habitat these days. We had 6 kittens dropped off this weekend. 2 from one litter, 3 from another and one orphan. All need to get examined by a vet and we’re trying to line up an ASPCA van. We’ll probably have an adoption event for these little tykes this weekend or the following. Let me know if you want to come by for a visit.
As you can imagine I was all over this. So yesterday afternoon I swung by Dog Habitat to meet their new boarders!
These trio of siblings do not have names. Therefore, I have taken it upon myself to call them The Spanish Inquisition. Why, you ask? Well, for starters I have recently decided Cardinal Fang is damned good name for a cat. Secondly, nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition (Dog Habitat didn’t in anyway). Lastly, I am guessing this winsome trio have a fondness for soft cushions and comfy chairs. Maybe yours?
From left to right we have Cardinal Fang, a female tortie; Cardinal Ximinez, a male tiger stripe (who, it should be noted, appears to be their leader); and Cardinal Biggles, an orange male tabby.
Biggles, though very friendly, found his supper more compelling than my camera. Here’s Jay telling us their story!
Last— but hardly least— I dare you to resist amazingly cute little fella. He too has no name, so I have taken to calling him Oddball.
Here’s his equally cute but very shy sister! We’ll call her Milk. Just like their neighbors, they too were rescued from Greenpoint. Follows is a little footage of Oddball in action. He’s just as friendly as he is cute. I swear he didn’t stop purring the whole time I was filming!
As Jay indicated, all these kittens will be getting a check up in the very near future. In the meantime anyone who is interested in providing a loving home to any of these lovely (and loving) furkids should contact Dog Habitat via telephone at (347) 601-8678 or via email at: rescue (at) doghabitat (dot) org.

From The New York Shitty Inbox: ADOPTED!
Filed under: 11222, Crazy Cat Lady, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic
Remember Thelma and Louise (as seen at left)? Well, they have a home now! Laura (who it should be noted took in a rain-soaked little lady we named McGuinness— after the boulevard she sought refuge from) writes:
Hi Heather!
I thought you’d like to know that Mike & I adopted Thelma & Louise. I saw their photo on your blog. They are adorable. When my mom was in the hospital for almost a year, my sister & I used to travel back and forth together in her car. We had some adventures in her car and started calling ourselves Thelma & Louise. Cute cats, sentimental names… you know the rest.
Here’s a clip of Thelma, Louise and McGuinness together.
Another happy ending— but there many adoptable cuties still awaiting homes in north Brooklyn.
Here are a bevy of calicos and a couple of tabbies courtesy of Lisacat.

Adoptable Cuties: Meet Thelma & Louise
Filed under: 11222, Crazy Cat Lady, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic
These two cuties (appropriately named Thelma and Louise) were found on the stoop of the Greenpoint Veterinary Hospital recently. With them came a note from their former “person”. He (or she) simply stated he was no longer able to take care of them and he hoped they would find good homes. The latter is the purpose of this post. Follows is a little video footage of this very dynamic duo in action— with a little background info provided by the head honcho of the hospital himself: Brad. Enjoy!
Anyone who is interested in provided either of these feisty femmes a home should contact the Greenpoint Veterinary Hospital via email at: gpointvet (at) gmail (dot) com.
Thanks!

Adoptable Cutie: Meet Pancakes
This handsome little man was brought to my attention by our new vet, Brad. Pancakes along with his siblings, which seem to have found a foster home, were found at construction site. He is three months old, sports lovely (and long) black coat and has a clean bill of health! If you would like to give this dapper chap (with a fabulous name) the loving home he deserves please contact his good Samaritan via email at: greenpointkitties (at) gmail (dot) com.
You can see more pictures of Pancakes and his crew by clicking here. WARNING/CAVEAT: do not watch the bathtub video if you averse to extreme cuteness!
Thanks!
