Harlem Cats

Our Mission

Hi! We are a group of rescuers working together to save as many stray and friendly cats from Harlem and North Manhattan as we can! We LIVE to find awesome homes for our rescue cats. We try to reply to emails the same day, and help you arrange a time to meet the cat asap (even though we all have "real" jobs :)).

All our rescue cats are vetted (spayed/neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, tested for diseases, most are microchipped). We ask a small adoption fee to help us cover vetting costs that is usually between $125 and $150.

Most of our cats are kittens or young cats (1-2 years old). Often (but not always) we ask that kittens be adopted in pairs, especially if they are bonded with a litter mate. Some of our other cats are part of bonded pairs, and we note this in their listing.

Our rescue cats are very special to us and we feel responsible for them, so we strive to make sure the people who adopt them are a good match. That's why we ask people to meet our cats and fill out an adoption application (as many rescue groups do)--it's also to help you find the perfect kitty!

And if our rescue cat and you are a good match for each other and you'd like to adopt, you might want to welcome your special Harlem kitty into your family with a custom adoption ceremony from HAWC https://www.honoringanimals.com --we will give you $30 off! One of the rescuers in our group founded HAWC and its wonderful services :)
