Our Mission
NY Cat Warriors is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) animal rescue dedicated to helping homeless cats across New York City who are both healthy as well as medically vulnerable. We respond to community requests for assistance by providing emergency coordination with trappers, foster-based care, and specialized veterinary treatment for those cats affected by illness, injury, and trauma. Through partnerships with neighborhood residents, foster caregivers, and veterinary providers, we deliver compassionate, responsible care while supporting pet guardians facing hardship. By prioritizing high-need cases and stewarding resources transparently, we work to reduce suffering, prevent unnecessary surrender, and promote safe, permanent homes for vulnerable cats in our community.
Adoption Policy
We try to achieve a balance between protecting the cat's best interests and being accessible and welcoming to would-be adopters. After the initial inquiry, we send an adoption application to the would-be adopter that asks for basic info about the individual, household members, other pets, and lifestyle. We also ask about experience with cats, the living situation (rent/own, pet policies), and expectations so that we may match the cat to the adopter. Following NY law, we check the adopter's name against the NY Animal Abuser registry.
We review the application and follow up with a phone call, FaceTime, or email to answer questions and discuss topics such as proper cat care, cat temperament, indoor safety, the transitional period, and behavioral issues.
We arrange a "meet-and-greet" at the foster home or via FaceTime and conduct a home visit or virtual home check, ensuring that there are screens on windows, no toxic plants, and a place for the cat to feel safe.
If we approve the adoption application, we ask the adopter to sign our adoption agreement, which sets out responsibilities (e.g., regular checkups, vaccinations, proper care, and return policy). We charge a reasonable adoption fee depending on the circumstances.
When handing over the cat, we provide a familiar blanket or toys, some food, and vet records. We provide advice on introducing cats to new homes, other pets, or children, as necessary.
Post-adoption, we check in via a call/email after 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months. Our return policy requires adopters to return the cat to us.
