Birch and Teak's Story

Birch & Teak - Bonded Sisters Looking for Love Meet Birch and Teak, two six-month-old sisters who are a bonded pair and must be adopted together. Their personalities are different but beautifully balanced, bringing double the sweetness, purrs, and kitten fun to any home. Birch is the curious explorer-playful, adventurous, and just a little spicy. She loves climbing, chasing toys, and investigating every corner. Birch has a hilarious habit of "stealing" toys from the box one by one and proudly carrying them around like tiny trophies. She may be shy at first, but once she feels comfortable, she's affectionate, full of charm, and melts into gentle pets and chin scratches. Teak is the gentle, thoughtful side of the pair. She adores attention and loves being near her people, especially when it's time for play. With patience in a new space, Teak blossoms into a sweet, trusting companion who enjoys being part of everyday life right alongside her sister. Both girls love to play with you, are big fans of window watching, and enjoy sleeping in the bed at night. They thrive on affection, routine, and being close to their humans. Birch brings the playful spark, Teak brings the calm presence, and together they make the perfect team. If you're ready for twice the love and twice the joy, Birch & Teak are ready to meet you!

The Cat Collective Rescue NY's Adoption Policy

All adopters complete an application, a short interview, a home check (virtual or in-person), and references so we can ensure the best possible match for both the cat and the family. We carefully consider household dynamics — including other pets, children, lifestyle, and experience — to help make placements that are safe, successful, and lasting. Adoption is a lifelong commitment (often 15–20 years), and if a match doesn’t work out, the cat must be returned to our rescue — never rehomed independently or surrendered elsewhere. Declawing is not permitted. The adoption fee helps cover spay/neuter, vaccinations, testing, microchipping, and medical care; it is a contribution toward the cat’s care, not a purchase. We believe normal cat behaviors like scratching, climbing, and adjustment periods are part of the journey, and we’re here to support you — including check-ins after adoption to help ensure a smooth transition.
