About Cat Assistance

Cat Assistance is a not-for-profit organization founded on the belief that every animal deserves a second chance. Our focus is taking in cats from private owners who are forced to give up their cats as well as rescuing cats and kittens from overcrowded shelters that have run out of time and may be in danger of euthanasia. We give these cats necessary medical treatment which may include spaying and neutering if necessary.

Each cat is socialized and loved while in our care, in the hope that we can match the cat to the perfect home. We also work to educate the public about the importance of spaying & neutering to reduce the overpopulation of unwanted animals.

Our NYS registration # is RR153. Our registration certificate can be viewed HERE.

Services

What We Do

Rescue

Cat Assistance rescues cats and kittens from local shelters such as the Mt. Vernon Animal shelter, the Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC), as well as from private owners.

Medical Care

Cat Assistance takes on difficult and challenging medical cases. We work with many local vets, as well as specialty vets, to address the medical issues of our rescued cats and kittens.

Spay & Neuter

Cat Assistance offers assistance and resources for spay & neuter of feral and stray cats. This is evaluated on a case by case basis.

Rehome

Cat Assistance finds homes for the cats in our care. Most of our cats start out in a foster home. We then work to find the perfect match for each and every cat and kitten.

We at Cat Assistance would like to give a big shout out to our favorite pet food store Choice Pet!

Choice Pet has 17 neighborhood locations across Connecticut, New York and New Jersey with carefully selected holistic, organic, raw and natural foods, treats and chews along with an array of outstanding pet products!

Choice Pet is the community’s trusted source of knowledge, inspiration and choice through our People, our Partners and our Technology.

Online Shop

Cat Assistance is a not-for-profit rescue organization that has been in operation since 1999, dedicated to rescuing cats and kittens from local shelters. We added dogs to our mission in 2010 and have rescued numerous dogs from local overcrowded animal shelters.

Thanks to the grant from the Maddie’s Fund we were able to save many dogs that needed extensive medical attention. We are asked to take in many dogs and cats from our local shelter and we are constantly contacted about taking in injured and/or unhealthy dogs and cats.
