Just a warning for all those people who “adopt” kittens that haven’t been spayed. We’ve heard all the reason. They will be an only cat. They will be indoors only. Procreating isn’t the only reason to spay your cat. First, I can’t imagine living with a cat that goes into heat every month. What woman loves that time of the month when they have their period. Second, the majority of cats that develop mammary cancer were never spayed or spayed at a later age. Third, they can develop Pyometra. If you’re not familiar with it. Google it. If not caught in time can kill. I’ve been rescuing senior cats for over 12 years. Have heard of it but never had a cat with it since I rarely take an unspayed female. That all changed this week with this 14 year old sweetheart Delilah. When I took her in March from the city shelter it happened so fast I didn’t realize she hadn’t been spayed. She went in for an exam and bloodwork and all was well. We decided to see if she went into heat to make a decision about spaying at her age. Thanks to Delilah’s foster Mom, Joan, she did in fact go into heat. As we all know due to Covid our vets are extremely busy and we didn’t think this was an emergency. Delilah started to have a discharge. Sporadic at first but then more often. This became a red flag. Took her in Friday morning for an exam. Friday afternoon she was on the operating table. Thank you Dr Plotnick. She’s fine now. Spending the weekend at the vet. Please let this be a warning to all of you who don’t think spaying is important. You could be shortening your cat’s life and possibly ending it.

This story is really getting old. Someone has a ca

This story is really getting old. Someone has a cat for almost 12 years and now has no time. We all know how much time it takes to take care of a cat. Almost none. The owner states Jesse loves to cuddle. Follows the owner around when home. Stays in the same room. Sounds like a super cat. So why is he now sitting in a cage in the Brooklyn city shelter you ask? According to the shelter it appears he’s possibly diabetic. Dehydrated. Muscle wasted and matted. Many times just by changing diet they can reverse. Seems owner fed both wet and dry food. Wish people would understand how bad dry food is. I know many people free feed dry and their cats are fine. You’re lucky. Jesse isn’t. Jesse needs an angel. I’ll pull him. Provide all the supplies. If you’ve had a diabetic before great if not I can train. Helps if you’re in Manhattan but any borough will do. Anyone in Jersey with experience also ok. Look at this kitty. He deserves more than what just happened to him.

Weeks ago we posted a picture of a young girl who adopted a 20 yr old cat from a shelter. That post got loads of attention and response. Since that posting Bunny has had more requests to rehome people’s cats than people looking to foster or adopt. Let’s change that. Mo and Tiger are at the Manhattan city shelter waiting for a new home. Owners not sure of exact age but the shelter ages them 17-20 years old. The family has experienced some deaths in their family and felt they emotionally and financially could no longer care for the cats. For all those people looking for kittens think about these seniors. There will always be kittens why not give these cats the best end of their lives they can have. Look at those faces. Call the Manhattan city shelter or get in touch with us.

This is Bunny’s rescue, Boots. When She rescu

This is Bunny’s rescue, Boots. When She rescued him almost 11 yrs ago the shelter said he was 15. Obviously they were wrong and we have no real idea how old he is. No one wanted to adopt a “15 yr old” deaf kitty so he stayed with Bunny. Up until this year he barely cost her a dime. Boots has gone to the vet every year for a checkup and bloodwork. It wasn’t until recently that his kidneys have started to fail. A few weeks ago he was hospitalized for three days. Temperature. High white cell count. Not eating. He’s a fighter and recovered. This weekend Bunny could tell something was wrong. Her vet squeezed him in on Saturday. Turns out he had an abscess in his mouth. We’re hoping it’s nothing worse than an abscess. He spent the weekend at the vet so he could get treatment he wouldn’t let Bunny do. She loves this old man. Here’s to hoping for better days ahead for boots

Bunny’s rescue Bear had to go to the emergency v

Bunny’s rescue Bear had to go to the emergency vet yesterday. He might have pneumonia. We’re sure how he could get that. He stayed overnight on oxygen. Also it seems his diabetes has returned. Not sure why but it complicates things. Hope he can at least come out off oxygen today. So far this bill is costing Bunny over $3000 until this morning. Bear has been through a lot since I got she got 4 1/2 yrs ago. He came down with the bird flu right after he came out of the shelter. He was hospitalized for quite awhile. He was diagnosed being hyperthyroid. Couldn’t tolerate the meds so he had to have the radio iodine treatment. He’s been doing great. Not sure how he got sick. Fingers crossed that when we speak with the vet today they have good news to share. #seniorcatsofinstagram #seniorcat #catsofinstagram #catsofnyc #sheltercat #rescuecat

Meet our new diabetic kitty, Kenny. 17 yrs old. Ow

Meet our new diabetic kitty, Kenny. 17 yrs old. Owner surrender, was taken to vet in Jersey for euthanasia simply because he wasn’t wanted anymore. He’s healthy except for diabetes. This cat needs to thank his lucky stars because the vet knows Bunny & contacted her to see if she’d take him in. Turns out he has a female sibling. Trying to get the owners to get her vetted so that maybe Bunny can help her as well. Turns out they got these cats 5 years ago after someone passed away. Never took senior cats to a vet in 5 years. Shameful. Please, please, please. Bunny needs donations. Venmo (@bunny-hofberg) PayPal (frankiesfelinefund@gmail.com) chewy wishlist (link in bio) or Chewy e-gift cards (send to frankiesfelinefund@gmail.com). Anything and everything helpsZ Updates to come on Kenny. #catsofinstagram #catsofnyc #sheltercats. #adoptdontshop #fosteringsaveslives #diabeticcat #seniorcatsofinstagram #seniorcats

Looking for a foster home or adopter in the New York area for a special boy. Nick was brought into a shelter with his sibling Nicole. I was made aware of him by an adopter of mine. He’s been at the shelter since October. I don’t know exactly what happened but his eye ruptured and he had to have it removed. He needs out of a cage. I’m told he’s only 8. A youngster. His sibling was placed with another rescue. Let’s get Nick out. If you can help please text or call Frankie’s Feline Fund at 917-514-0228’or email frankiesfelinefund@gmail.com.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. This was a posting I saw today. Young girl Goes to a shelter to adopt a cat. Adopts the 20 year old so he can have the life he deserves. This is a picture of TRUE love. Remember this when you go looking to adopt. There will always be kittens but this special bonding doesn’t come along that often.
