A co-worker of mine is in need of some recommendations for a rescue or shelter in Brooklyn.
Story: Neighbors of his that were hoarders and trouble makers suddenly disappeared overnight. Left a cat behind.
Cat is very friendly but my co-worker is in no position to care for it as he's financially strapped to the hilt and the cat appears to be suffering from a few health issues; at minimum a possible eye infection.
However, he's concerned enough to want to help the cat and is willing to take it somewhere safe. The door to that apartment was open this morning and the cat ran after him down the stairs. He left a bowl of water for it and when he gets home later is going to bring food. He *might* just bring him into his apartment overnight until he can find a local rescue so I suggested at minimum to find the least expensive litter box set up he can find also.
Anyway, wondering if anyone here has recommendations for good rescues or no-kill shelters in Brooklyn? I know it may be difficult this time of year, being kitten season and all. Or any other suggestions?
Again he can NOT keep the cat. He is not financially equipped to do so.
Thank you!
