who we are

(kitten degloved after she was used as dog bait)
Most of these homeless animals end up as statistical fatalities resulting from automobile mishaps, poisoning by disgruntled
community members who are tired of unsightly open cat-food cans left on the sidewalk by those who feed them, brutal killing
at the hands of cruel people who use them for baiting pit bull dogs trained to fight. The lucky ones find their way into
our city shelters. Our municipalities are overburdened by the overflowing numbers of homeless animals brought in on a daily
basis that inevitably are killed at a rate of 600 to 700 per month. It is disturbing enough to know that these animals
live and die under the most inhumane conditions without the additional knowledge that our tax dollars are used to pay for
euthanasia as this makes us all unwilling accomplices.
Uptown Cats, an animal welfare orgainzation, together with the support of our
local New York City Police Department Community Affairs Office and those of the
ASPCA
whose Pro-TNR position originally
inspired us, work to manage and stabilize the population of feral cat colonies by way of a
Trap-Neuter-Return program (TNR). Cats are trapped, neutered (fixed), ear tipped for identification, vaccinated
for rabies and then released back in their territory where they are fed, sheltered and monitored on an ongoing basis.
None of the cats are killed or harmed in any way.
We hope to lead other New York City communities towards the same
efforts through example and direct hands-on assistance. To feral cat caretakers we offer consultations to assist at
better managing their colonies, inexpensive all-weather insulated shelters for cats, and an email network for other
supports. To concerned community members negatively affected by the overwhelming number of feral and stray cats
on your streets we offer the promise of TNR as the sure-shot proven method that will relieve your neighborhood of the
burden while insuring the welfare of feral cats through a non-lethal solution that is supported by the Humane Society of
the United States (HSUS), which recently published its new
pro-TNR
policy statement.
Adopting a Furry Friend
Adoption Events Held Times and Locations are Listed Below
Thursdays, Fridays,
Saturdays, Sundays
Whenever we can, the once-domesticated adult cats that have been absorbed by colonies, and kittens born outside are rescued from feral colonies then socialized and put up for adoption. (Feral cats are not available for adoption) Some have been rescued from under a sidewalk grating, some others have are victims of High-Rise Syndrome, and others have been found in strange places and situations such as elevator wells, behind sheetrock walls, trapped in air vents, crawl spaces and there are those rare situations when we accept surrendered animals from families or individuals that find themselves under extreme duress. Regardless of how an animal comes to us, we provide food, shelter, medical care and much love. We are looking to you to provide them with a safe and loving home.
