Sundae's Story

Meet Sundae, an adorable black-and-white tuxedo cat who is looking for his forever home. Sundae was rescued from the streets of Harlem in the middle of a brutally cold winter. He was found digging through trash, trying to find something to eat and simply survive. Clearly an indoor cat who had been dumped outside, he was incredibly grateful to be out of the cold and back inside a warm home. We named him Sundae because he reminded us of a chocolate sundae, complete with a little "chocolate sauce" dripping off his chin. At about three years old, Sundae is a very affectionate and friendly cat. He loves hopping up onto your lap for pets, is always rubbing against your legs, and is happy to snuggle up in bed with you at the end of the day. Although Sundae enjoys lounging on the sofa or bed and relaxing, he can also be quite playful and active. Because of this, we think he would do best in a home with another male cat he can play with. Sundae is looking for a welcoming, loving home where he can feel safe and cherished-and in return, he'll be your devoted best friend.

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.
