Helping 20 cats and kittens in a Brooklyn basement

[@FlatbushCats]

Together we can break this cycle once and for all. Visit flatbushcats.org/build to help us build a new affordable spay neuter clinic in Brooklyn.

[@amenandhis7kids724]

We will help

[@amenandhis7kids724]

Right

[@MirceaKitsune]

We have so many here in Romania too, taking a trip to the seaside and meeting lots of kitties where we're staying too. The good news is most seem healthy, people here seem to feed them and take care of them which is pretty awesome.

[@maryclarafjare]

Best idea ever

[@nickmonaco4355]

I’d like to give one a home

[@yarahassan4084]

I've rescued 16 cats so far. I'm struggling with their bills. Shelters here in Egypt are far beyond horrible. So, my heart goes out for you and you'll always have my prayers.

[@kerryedavis]

How sad if Egyptians no longer worship cats.

[@cgravelle4937]

All over the world in every country these poor little animals are suffering. I have a 3 year old cat, in Canada, and I love him so much. I do everything I can to make his life comfortable and give lots of love . It breaks my heart to see animals abused and starving. God bless those people in this world who have a heart to help these little animals survive. But the world is full of evil people, and that will Never change.

You and all who do this work are saints! Please know that, how wonderful YOU are! 🐈🐾🥰

[@dontbeaturd763]

There’s a man I have spoken to who lives several hours outside of Cairo. He does what he can to help the street cats in his area but he is out of a job so, many of them die. It’s such an awful situation to say the least. I live in a country that also has a “street cat crisis” - I have taken in 8 cats so far and feed the rest who come to my garden. One of my outside boys had an abscess on his side due to fighting. I had him hospitalized and castrated, then released him back into my garden. He’s much happier and healthier now. Thank you for helping as many cats as you can - we sadly cannot save them all.

[@elsplace896]

Thank you

[@r.j4925]

Don't ever. Ever stop what you're doing.

[@Shiviland]

As a Chilean cat rescuer that works hard to make a difference only with the resources I get from my job, what you guys do inspires me so much. We need something like what you guys are doing down here, badly, and seeing you succeeding in saving so many lives despite the difficulties makes me hopeful of my own work. This isn’t much but I hope it gets you just a tiny bit closer to your goal. Please give all of your rescued kitties a kiss from me.

[@plaidpanda]

THANK YOU from myself and my crew of former ferals: Jelly, Ozzie, Chester, Sunny, Grover, Gracie, and Skittles!! 😻

[@elsplace896]

Love this post

[@SonaDrawzStuffYT]

Thank you SO much for doing what you do. All cats deserve the best love and care, it breaks my heart to see them struggle on the streets. I lived in phoenix for a while, the cat problem there is bad too. Everyday at his work my dad feeds 20 stray cats and counting, kittens and all. More and more keep being born with no shelter or resources to survive. Every cat I've had has been a stray, I wish I could take them all. I currently have two kittens who were only 2 weeks old, their stray mom constantly getting pregnant, she seemed tired. She actually brought the two kittens to my dad, as if she was asking him to help them because she knew she can't keep up. They both were very malnutrition, but now at 4 months old with me they're very happy and loving. I love them so much. You doing what you do brings so much joy to my heart, I wish nothing but the best for the production of the spay and neuter clinic. I've donated, I hope it helps!

[@emiliabuffoni9076]

Grazie.

[@lynnmartz8739]

Thanks!

[@nadianadia3682]

This is heartbreaking. I'm facing a similar situation, here in Poland in a small village, where nobody seems to care. I feed the cats, treat them, TNR them. And I'm paying for all of it myself, for as long as I remember, and will be doing it, for as long as I will be able to. Just at this moment I have 15 cats indoors, because nobody wants to adopt an older cat. I hope you'll be able to collect all the money you need. Just tell me this one cat without it's foot is no longer suffering on the streets...

[@plaidpanda]

Thank you for your kind heart and generosity of spirit, Nadia!

[@phd2007]

I'm in the same situation in Orlando, Nadia. Thank you for all you're doing for your cats in your small Polish village. They are so incredibly fortunate to have YOU!

This is so important and will set an amazing precedence for what can be done in other cities. I'm so excited to see this project come to life and I'll be donating as much as I can. Thank you again for your hard work.

[@cyberhansa]

YES! This is what I'm hoping, that this is just the beginning and Flatbush can draw a map for rescues in other cities, states and countries to do the same. I really hope this spreads everywhere!

[@tvk270]

shit is so sad... makes me cherish my pet even more I donated. I hope more people do too :/

[@michelleerfer5558]

All of my cats came from our Flatbush basement and we neutered maybe 60 cats in 3 years with help from the Toby Project and the ASPCA mass transports over a decade ago. This cycle needs to stop, thanks for all your work. I keep donating.

[@Sara-fx9ni]

謝謝！

[@Broomy718]

I have already donated and also are on your monthly donation program. Thank you for the work that you do and I look forward to watching this clinic be built and grow!

[@goncharov000]

This is such an important project. Thank you for all the work you do

[@JeyUU]

What Flatbush Cats is doing is important. It will make an impact. After having followed along with this TNR project on KZbin for years, what they have accomplished and are working hard to accomplish is both incredibly beautiful and impressive. It speaks volumns and it shows what is possible to achieve when you are truly passionate about not just saving cats, but also facing head on a monumental issue and accepting all of the challenges that come with it. Coming up with solutions like opening an affordable, high-volumn center for neutering and spaying is HUGE. I may not be able to regularly donate, and its not as much as I wish I could, but from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much to Flatbush Cats and all of the volunteers for what you do. But I'll put $10 where my mouth is now. ❤🐈

[@ChrisZukowski88]

Cats and dogs need nothing but love, food, and a warm bed to sleep in. You are their world, unlike humans they wont ever think of betraying you. Thats why I'm an animal lover til the day I die!

[@amenandhis7kids724]

Mostly cats

[@pawshands9706]

I find it so unjust when good people sacrifice so much to help these beings, but the laws remain too weak to provide any just help. The laws of indifference rule this world. Every country needs to do their parts to finally address these urgent situations. I am so blessed to have rescued throughout my life, but sadly I am all to aware of how agonizing your work is. Bless you all with the help you need.

[@bamabeach7703]

I have been following y'all for a few years now, which led me to get involved in newly formed Animal Coalition in 2020 in my area. It took alot of time and commitment from a core group of individuals and now, each week at least 50 community cats are TNR'd on every Tuesday and there are veterinarian students involved, which is a huge resource. Laws in our state prohibit the coalition from offering affordable veterinary services to the public, which as you have stated many times, is a big contributing factor in the homeless 🐈 population. I'm rooting for y'all and the vision! Thank you so much for being an inspiration to so many to take that first step and get involved. Much gratitude from south Alabama. 🙏

[@debbabe2254]

May I ask what state you live in that prohibits the Animal Coalition from offering affordable health care services?

[@bamabeach7703]

@@debbabe2254 I live in Alabama. SHAC can provide the services to other non-profits which they do, but they are unable to currently serve the community in their current capacity. There are some hoops they will eventually be able to jump through, but the truth is veterinary services are a big, for profit, industry and they'd like to keep it that way.

[@bamabeach7703]

In fact, SHAC, spayed and neutered 35 large dogs this week for a neighboring shelter in Pensacola, so that they would be able to find their forever homes. Baby steps...

[@vaclavvrana5200]

[@jennifermetz392]

This is the most important and rewarding donation I've EVER made....Everyone, please help too !!!!

[@susan8471]

I'm feeding feral here in my apt complex. Management won't let me TNR them due to liability issues...whatever that means. So mama kitty is pregnant with her third litter that I know of and now her young from 2nd litter are pregnant. I feed them and am moving out of state in a month and don't know anyone who will feed them. I'm sad, feel guilty and don't know what to do. It's the saddest thing I know hoping they won't starve.

[@plaidpanda]

Contact the county shelter, and/or research any and all TNR support groups in your area. Please, please don't abandon these animals without exhausting every possible resource!!

[@ms2189]

Maybe tell the landlord there will probably be less liability if the cats on the property are spayed and neutered so their population will stop increasing? Also, the R in TNR can mean Re-home instead of Return! Certainly there is at least one rescuer around who knows a place they can be re-homed!

[@jeandixon586]

WHAT liability issues? That makes no sense at all. I would rather trap these poor cats and have them euthanised than let them breed, or leave them to starve.

[@peaches2220]

Check out Alley cat allies website..it will list colony caretakers near you. Try to find someone who can take over..you are doing great work!

[@78ABates]

Excellent work, as always!

[@ToastedWaffles_]

Would love to see a tracker on the main website to see how we are doing on the donation goal. Keep up the good fight!

[@ZippedUpKitz]

This is something that needs to be done all over! Spay and Neuter surgeries should not cost as much as they do. Vet care today is as much as a human going to a regular doctor! The prices for vet care has risen soooo much. It's tough on pet owners these days. If I didn’t have an income to support myself and my pets, I wouldn’t have a pet. It isn’t fair to the pets when you can’t provide a Everything they need.

[@Moneytane1976]

This is such a valuable idea and we need this as well here in New Zealand. it does not help we have so called "Bird advocates" who want to actually destroy stray and feral cats

[@barbaraross5256]

That's a damn good idea. I live in the Bronx and I see the same crisis.

[@Deadmau5l]

Ive never watched something what makes me feel so bad to be a human. Why do people do this it breaks my heart. I had a cat walk into my life 7yrs ago called "Monty" I truly believe hes the reason im still here but sadly hes not. His owners who neglected him (the whole reason he came to me) left him out on a -10 night and i sadly worked that eve/morning so "Monty" meows at my window went unanswered. He decided because his owners didnt care and i wasnt home he went to sleep in his owners car hood/bonnet and they ran him over. The same sick people own a dog what they leave outside for 12+ hours a day barking. In the 7years ive lived here ive known them to have 3 different dogs but ive never seen any of the dogs go for a walk. Just sick sick humans the kind what cause issues like this what you amazing guys have to help resolve.

[@loverlei79]

Vet care, even in the widwest and plains has gotten so expensive, I can only provide emergency care and flea medication for my towns ferals. When one box of revolution costs over $50, you know vet care has absolutely been taken over by personal and corporate greed.

Any cat can be rescued as I found living in the bronx as a young adult and at any age. I rescued so many that I can't count. I used to drive home from work and they would all follow my car. I used to be embarrassed. I worked at a veterinary hospital and became manager after working in the back. My favorite time there was when I handled and worked with sick or injured pets in the back ground. I would give them all the love and care that they needed. I miss doing this so much. You inspire me to get into the field again so much. I'm now living in Georgia USA and I've always had a cat or two maybe more. But hard times have me living in some one elses house. I need to do some volunteering but my schedule makes it awkward. I will look into it agains because I've always had catsi n my life since the age of 18 and now I'm 58 and miss them so much my heart brakes.

[@irinapotop5191]

Universe and Mother Earth, help make this dream clinic a reality to help ur animal creations get affordable care. So many abandon animals out in this world. More affordable vet clinics r needed everywhere. More outrageous here in Canada! Our governments need to get on board with providing help to make care of animals a priority for strays and low income families. Helping rescues get the care needed weather it be wild or tame. Provide safe clean happy shelters where neglect or abuse is not tolerated. Since we r all responsible for what has been going on with animals, the governments need to step up and make funding available

[@nathalie9905]
