A kitten found outside with a herniated bladder. Meet Miguel.

Miguel was rescued from our co-founder's neighborhood where he was a favorite of a person, Miguel, who has fed outdoor cats for more than twenty years. He told us that Miguel had broken his leg at one point. When we took him to our vet he could not find any signs of a fracture but discovered that his bladder had herniated through his back just above his tail. Most likely he was kicked in that area.

The surgery was $500 but is well worth it! Miguel is so young (7 months old) and is such a sweet little black kitten who deserves a loving home.

He is still at Narrows Hospital.
Miguel spent an extra week at the vet because of a slight fever and to monitor drainage from the surgery. He is now recovering nicely in a foster home. He has started to play periodically again and is eating well. He should return to state of good health in the next few weeks. Next stop, looking for a purrmanent home.

Your donation helps us continue to help animals like Miguel. Kitties find outside depend solely on public donations.

Fostering Good “Katma”

Not sure you’re ready for the long-term commitment of pet ownership? In need of extra good “katma” for your dogma? It’s time to consider fostering!  Not only will you benefit from the joy of a snuggly, playful cuddle-buddy but you will also be helping a cat in need.

Hundreds of animals at the Animal Care and Control are put to sleep every day due to lack of space or money. By fostering a cat, you will save a life and reap the rewards of the good “katma” that comes with it!  Watch this video of Harriet one of A Tail's fosters.

Rescued from the euthanasia list and the city kill shelters, these animals were someone’s pets and now are homeless. If you can foster a couple kittens or adult cat you will be saving an animal's life.

Cats and dogs, former pets, are abandoned by their owner.

Please consider fostering and you will be saving one life. And they show their appreciation becoming a wonderful furry companion!

Adoption events are held a few times a month where we try to get your foster pet adopted. This is a great way to have a pet in your life without the permanent commitment. A wonderful way to give a loving animal/companion a home until he or she finds a forever home.

If you travel for business or are here in NYC as an expat this is a great way to bring some fun and happiness into your life while living here in NYC.

This is no cost to you except for food and love. Fostering can be as little as a few weeks or months.

Art Dogs and Cats?

 A Tail at a Time partners with Pet Health Store on the Upper Westside. Pet Health shares their space every other Saturday and every Thursday so we can have adoption events.  The store and their employees have a wealth of information and knowledge regarding pet health; the best foods for your pet. They are committed to promoting the adoption of rescued cats and dogs. We are fortunate enough to be a recipient of a fundraiser they are having this fall.

   The Art Dogs & Cats of NY is a benefit exhibition of animal friends hand-painted by New York’s most exciting emerging artists. These unique, life-size statues of felines and canines will be auctioned on October 21st to raise money and awareness for five local animal rescue organizations. In 2009 close to 4500 dogs and 9000 cats were euthanized in NYC. The Art Dogs and Cats of NY is a celebration of those groups who work tirelessly to find loving homes for so many of New York’s homeless animals. The twelve Art Dogs & Cats will be on rotating exhibition at Pet Health Store (440 Amsterdam Ave. at 81st) from September 8th to October 20th. Come see The Art Dogs & Cats of NY and support animal rescue!
