Two New PHLF Ways
To Show Your .
Valentine’s Day is here again!
Tired of chocolate and flowers?
Do something different

someone this year. Sponsor a
cat that has special needs or
one that hasn’t found their forever
home yet. Your recipient

cat that you choose in time
for Valentine’s Day. Start looking

Donate to the PHLF New Hope Fund.
If you would rather help us rescue death row cats from Animal Care and Control,
donations can be made to our New Hope Fund, which helps us save kitties
like Mallomar (above).
Mallomar found herself at Animal Care Centers, a high volume shelter, which
is no place for newborns. Thanks to our New Hope Fund, we were able to rescue
the whole family, and Mallomar can nurse in peace. (more New Hope kitties on p.3)
Donate to the
PHLF Have-a-Heart Program.
Sasha was one of those cats and thanks to
donations, she is now living with her new family.
(See Sasha’s Happy Cat Tale on page 2.)
The PHLF Have-a-Heart Program pays for costly echocardiograms for any cat
that is adopted from our facility with a pre-existing heart murmur, for the life of
the cat.

How Sasha found Emalyn: A Very Happy Cat Tale
T
’was the week before Christmas 2015, and Sasha found love with Emalyn and her
family in a wonderful forever home.
Sasha was originally part of a TNR effort. She was living with a colony until it was
threatened by some less-than-nice individuals. Afraid for Sasha’s safety (because
she was so friendly), the caretaker found safe haven for her, and several years ago
she found her way to us. Sasha’s physical exam revealed she was healthy, except she
had a heart murmur. Sasha had an echocardiogram (an ultrasound of the heart) and
the results showed that her heart was working well. She did not need any medication.
Emalyn and her dad, Rob, were looking to add a kitty to their family. When Emalyn
met Sasha, it was love at first sight and vice versa. We recommended that Sasha
have a repeat echocardiogram before she went home to make sure that her heart
was still healthy.
Through our Have-a-Heart Program, Sasha was
able to have her echocardiogram paid for and was
found to be in tip-top shape. Rob and Emalyn will
be able to continue to monitor Sasha’s heart in the
future through our program at participating veterinarians.
If you would like to help out more cats like Sasha
and more families like Rob and Emalyn, please consider
donating to our Have-a-Heart Program.
Now that Sasha is settled in her new forever home, Sasha, Emalyn and Rob’s hearts
(and ours!) are full of nothing but love!

Have-a-Heart on Valentine’s Day!
Houdini’s owner died, and he was found in the house to fend
for himself. He has asthma, as well as heart disease, is on medication
and will need monitoring for both conditions. Houdini
is an adoptable, sweet, special needs kitty, who spends his
spare time as a dedicated celebrity spokesperson for the PHLF
Have-a-Heart Program, which takes care of the high costs of
tests for cats with heart problems. Each Valentine’s donation
will be commemorated by a card from Houdini himself.
Give New Hope on Valentine’s Day!
Olaf was found as a stray with a large wound on his nose. He was at
Animal Care Centers in Brooklyn and needed treatment. The call went
out for New Hope Partners. We had room at the time and provided the
necessary medical care. We are happy to report that he has made a
full recovery, and all his extra toes are in constant “happy feet” motion!
Misty was dropped off by her owner at Animal Care Centers after having
her for 16 years! Our New Hope Fund allowed us to rescue Misty, and
she is now living with someone who promises her that a home is forever.
Diana was found as a stray and wound up at Animal Care Centers. She
was in danger of being euthanized for a cold— literally on death row —
so a plea was sent out for one of the New Hope Partners to rescue her
for medical treatment. We are happy to say that this sweet girl is doing
well and is up for adoption!
Your timely donation(s) to a PHLF New Hope Fund kitty of your
choice will send a card to your loved one(s) on Valentine’s Day.
, our charitable giving partner, works with thousands of stores to provide our supporters
the best coupon codes, and they’ll donate a percentage of what you spend back to help our cats!

owner could no longer
care for them. She is
a little shy, but is getting
used to things. She has
her cat buddies and loves
her comfy beds Who doesn’t?
Andy is 5 years old, has
a heart murmur and
asthma. He’s doing
well on meds, is easy
to treat and would
make a great addition
to any home.
Morena, a beautiful
Bengal cat, is nervous
around other cats,
so she spends most
of her time in the run
where she can hide
safely from the other
cats.
Clancy was rescued by
our friends at the Mayor’s
Alliance for NYC’s Animals.
He’s a sweet boy
with a gorgeous plume of
a tail. He would make a
fine addition to a loving
home.
Hope, an 8-year-old dilute
tortie, is a sweetheart, but
on the shy side and would
fit best in a quiet home.
Hope’s portrait hangs
in our Spay/Neuter Clinic
to give the “hope” of
adoption to all that pass
through our doors.
Eenie is a sweet 9-yearold
who we rescued with
her babies, Meenie, Miney
& Mo. She was so skinny,
we named her Eenie.
Meenie and Mo were adopted,
but ...
Elsa was rescued from
Animal Care and Control.
We don’t know too much
about her history, but we do
know that she’s a little doll
and would do great in any
home!
Miney is still here with
her mom, Eenie, waiting
for a forever home. Miney
is a sweet cat who is just
a little shy at times, but
would be great with her
own person. This mom and daughter duo are
so attached, they must be adopted together.

rescued through their New Hope
Department. Her kittens were
adopted and we are working

Vetty is a sweet girl who
loves to play and to snuggle!
She is about a year old
and would make a great
addition to any household.
Ziva had been stuck in a cage
for 3 years at another shelter —
her entire life! Finally liberated,
she now waits for her own home.
She is sweet and a little shy at
first, but warms up quickly.
Ziva is looking for somewhere to continue to stretch
her legs and run after toys.
Sammy is an old girl, who we
found depressed and sitting in a
cage at a kill shelter with no one
even giving her a second look.
PHLF rescued her with 11 others
in jeopardy. At first she was petrified and striking out
at us — now she’s a mush ball who can’t wait for the
next treat! Sammy is being treated for glaucoma.
Buffy is five years old, but
has already had kittens! All
her babies were adopted
and now Buffy waits for
her own home. She is very
nosy, but very loving.
Candy arrived at Animal Care and
Control in Brooklyn and was frightened
and very pregnant. She was swiping
and hissing at everyone who went near
her. On April 10 th , Candy gave birth to 5 adorable kittens, but
was nearly impossible to handle. ACC sent out a plea for a
rescue and luckily we had some room. Her babies have all
been adopted, and Candy has calmed down and is happy!
Buddy is one of our
“feral” kitties, but he
does let us pet him
occasionally, and he
follows our caretaker
around talking to her! He’s a sweetie, who
may be adoptable.
Mr. Kitty had a few changes
in his life that didn’t
agree with him. One of our
life counselors is working
with him to help him be
less grumpy—nothing that
can’t be changed with a few
treats!
Fitty Cent has the best
traits of his Bombay ancestors.
Plagued with urinary
tract problems, his owners
couldn’t take care of him,
and his vet arranged for Fitty
to come to the sanctuary. We
love this big guy, and he seems happy here.

Scotty was an indoor/
outdoor cat until his previous
caretakers found
that neighborhood businesses
were using rat
poison for rodent control.
Scotty is about 11 years old and gets
along great with other cats.
Bubba had a rough life
on the streets until a loving
family took him in and
arranged for him to come
to us. Bubba’s living the
high life now and loves to be up on our “catwalk”
and look down on everyone. Bubba
prefers his kitty friends to us humans.
Betty prefers the company
of her kitty friends
to us. Have to say who
could blame her? She
also loves to be outside
most of the time - except for when it’s really
cold, then we find her snuggled up inside.
Polly D was named after
her extra toes. She’s a
sweet girl who is a little on
the shy side and is waiting
for someone to warm up to.
Polly suffers from food allergies
and is adoptable, but would need
special food.
Baby is a shy little girl,
but very sweet. She
would probably do
best in a quiet home.
She’s a little less than
3 years old and is
ready for her forever
home.
Jellybean is a sweetie
looking for a quiet home.
She is about 1 year old
and just a little shy at
first, but warms up soon
after. She would be a loving
addition to any home.
Hugo is another shy
guy who just hasn’t
warmed up to us humans
yet, although
he does like kids.
Hugo is 4 years old.
Angel was rescued from
another shelter when her
time was up. She was shy
at first, but seems to be
coming out of her shell.
You can help Angel until she finds her own
home by sponsoring her.

Pesky lived his whole life in
Brooklyn with an elderly owner
who passed away right after Hurricane
Sandy. When he came to
us, he was fighting an infection in
his tail, which has now completely
healed. Pesky would love his own home, but until
then is available for sponsorship.
Francey is one of
those kitties who prefers
to keep us humans
at a distance!
Well, to each his (or
her!) own. C’est la vie!
R2D2, an evacuee from
Hurricane Irene, is outgoing
and confident, loves to
be pet and especially loves
belly rubs. He also loves
going in the outdoor run
where he watches birds,
butterflies and squirrels.
Rubio comes from
a very dear friend
who asked us to
look after him. He is
suffering from anemia
and will likely
need life-long treatment. He spends his time
well as spokesperson for the Paw Project-NY
to legally stamp out declawing of cats.
Annie came to us when
her elderly owner could
no longer care for her.
Annie is semi-feral and
prefers cats to humans.
She loves being able to
go outside and resides in a cage-free room
with a few other cats.
Abby came to us from
the Mayor’s Alliance for
NYC’s Animals. She’s a
sweet girl who loves people
- but she’s not crazy
about other cats so she
would be best as an only cat.
Karla is an older girl who was
found with a litter of kittens. Her
kittens are grown now and in their
own homes while Karla lives with
us. Karla recently had a tumor removed
which turned out to be cancerous. She is fine
at the moment but will likely live the rest of her life with
us making her as comfortable as possible.
Frisky’s owner lost her home
and could no longer care for
her. Frisky was so scared, she
stopped eating and was diagnosed
with hepatic lipidosis,
which required a feeding tube. After 3 weeks,
we are happy to say that Frisky is now eating
without the tube and is recovering well.

Sandy, an adorable cat,
and her son, Becker (adopted)
were evacuees from Super
Storm Sandy. Sandy is
a little shy at first, but once
she gets to know you, will
approach you for pets, belly rubs and treats.
Lulu is a Sandy refugee.
When her owner was displaced
from their home, Lulu
and her brothers, Blondie
and Tommy, found themselves at the Nassau
Emergency Shelter. Blondie and Tommy were
adopted, but Lulu is still with us.
Shadow’s last owner
lost her home and
so, unfortunately, did
Shadow.
Shadow has adjusted well and is living in one
of our cage-free rooms, with her buddy, Frisky.
Rhett is a 2 1 /2-year-old, handsome
devil and is affectionate
and playful. His markings
are some of the most
beautiful we have ever seen.
Rhett was adopted as
a kitten and returned to a shelter where his time
was running out. He still waits for his forever home.
Copper was rescued from a
hoarding situation. She was
untouchable when she first
came to us. Now she headbutts
us for treats! Copper is
11 years old.
Kimba is a 4-year-old tortoiseshell
who is extremely
shy of people. We are
slowly getting her to trust
us, but at the moment she
prefers her cat friends. You can help us help Kimba
by sponsoring her.
Figaro came to us
with her sister, Blue
Fairy (right). Both are
a little on the shy side
and would do best in
a quiet household.
Blue Fairy is a sweet, shy
girl who needs a little time to
warm up. Like her sister, Figaro,
she would do best in a
quiet home.

Cee Cee is a 9-year-old girl
whose owners dropped her off
at a kill shelter full of fleas with
a resulting terrible dermatitis,
causing hair loss from scratching
so much. Cee Cee is now flea free and knows
that even if she never finds a home, she will always
have one with us.
Danny Boy found himself out
of a home, when his owner
suddenly passed away. With
no one willing to care for him,
Danny Boy is looking for a
new home.
He’s a sweet Persian who just had his whole
world turned upside-down.
Oreo and Brownie are two sweet surprises we trapped when we were trying
to trap a kitty that was in desperate need of medical attention (we got
him too!).
We thought they were feral, but were proven wrong!
These two are about 3-4 months old and are very sweet. Brownie is a
little bit more shy than Oreo (black and white). They do not have to be
adopted together.
Blueberry was transferred
to us with his brother, Blackberry,
by the Mayor’s Alliance
for NYC’s Animals.
This gorgeous boy is a
sweetie! He’s about a year
old and would do great in a
quiet, loving home.
Leo was rescued from Animal
Care and Control after his owners
relinquished him. This gorgeous,
outgoing Maine Coon
mix is about a year old and very
friendly and playful!
Kermit and Koby came from a TNR effort in the housing projects in
Queens where they were stuck/trapped in a closed venting system with
a total of 12 cats! They were the only survivors of a litter of 5 and were
severely weak and underweight. The TNR woman took Kermit and Koby
home to see if some extra TLC in a home with lots of feeding and keeping
them warm would help. After they were “out of the woods,” she moved
them to another foster home where they did amazingly well. They are so
outgoing and very adorable together and are extremely attached to each other. This 7-month-old, bonded
pair will bring joy to any loving home.

RJ and Hunter were born in October 2015 in the backyard of a
woman who does TNR in Brooklyn. Six kittens were rescued
and four have been adopted out. RJ and Hunter were brought
to the Mayor’s Alliance for NYC’s Animals and transferred to us.
RJ (left), a girl, and Hunter (right), a boy, are the only 2 that are
left. We are trying to keep them as a pair, but they could be
separated if they had to be. They are very sweet and would be a welcome addition to a loving forever home.
Topanga gave birth at Animal Care and Control and her kittens were at such high
risk for disease that one didn’t make it. She and her remaining kitten were transferred
to us so that she could nurse in peace. Topanga was born with only one
kidney (the other kidney is fine and she can lead a normal, long, healthy life) but is
otherwise as normal as they come. She is a really sweet kitty who deserves the
chance of a forever home.
Molly was transferred to us from the Brooklyn location of Animal Care Centers.
Molly was an outdoor kitty, who was brought there by a good Samaritan.
Molly was also very pregnant and gave birth the next day. Neonates are
very susceptible to disease in a large shelter like ACC, so Molly and her babies
(Donatella, Michelangelo, Leonardo and Davinci) were transferred to us.
Molly isn’t too fond of humans so won’t be available for adoption anytime soon, but she will have the ability
to go outside in one of our catios and experience the outdoors in safety without wondering where her next
meal will be.
Chico was declawed on all four paws by his previous owner, who then dumped him
at the pound because they “had no time for him.” Chico was slated to be euthanized
when The Paw Project stepped in to pledge for his rescue.
The Mayor’s Alliance for NYC’s Animals also stepped in and sent The Wheels of
Hope to rescue Chico and get him to a safe place until we had room. While he was
boarding at the vet, The Mayor’s Alliance used The Paw Project pledge for a full
work-up on Chico, including much needed dentistry.
Chico was adopted out, but most likely due to being declawed, Chico doesn’t use
the litter box and was, understandably, returned to us.
Please don’t declaw. Chico lost his claws, his home and nearly his life because of it. Please don’t declaw!

Mookie is approximately 8 years old. She was declawed by her previous owner and
dumped at Animal Care and Control. She was rescued by The Paw Project just hours
before she was slated to be euthanized and then transferred to us.
Mookie is a LOVEBUG and is extremely affectionate. However, as is common with declawed
cats, she tends to bite, but it is mostly love bites. We think she would do best with
an experienced owner and no kids. Please don’t declaw!
Amber was a pregnant stray who ended up in a good Samaritan’s yard when she was
having trouble giving birth. Rushed to a nearby emergency hospital, Amber’s three
kittens (Winkin, Blinken and Nod) were safely delivered and Amber was transferred
to us from the Mayor’s Alliance for NYC’s Animals while she nursed her kittens.
She is unsure of the human race, so at the moment, is not available for adoption.
Tiger Lily was transferred to us from the Mayor’s Alliance for New York City’s
Animals. She’s a really sweet girl with a history of bladder stones. She is on a prescription
diet, so that stones will no longer form.
Rosie and Dixon would have spent a life on the streets if not for the cries of their
sister, Cooper (aptly named after getting stuck in the engine of a Mini Cooper).
Cooper’s meow alerted our rescuers, who were able to trap the rest of Cooper’s
family, including mom, Terra.
They are a tad shy, but are quickly coming around. It is heartwarming to see
them playing with toys instead of out in the frigid temperatures, fending for food.
It would be even more heartwarming to see them adopted, like their sister Cooper was!

Ava was rescued by our friends at the Mayor’s Alliance for NYC’s Animals. She
is an adorable, affectionate kitten, looking for someone to snuggle with. She
is waiting for her forever home.
Frida Kahlo, an 8-year-old beauty, was turned into a kill shelter by her owners.
We rescued her about 6 months ago and can’t understand why they wouldn’t
want her. Frida is sweet and has a lot of love to give in a new forever home.
Marigold was living in his owner’s house for a year after she was placed in a
nursing home. With no one but a caretaker, who came in once a day to feed him,
Marigold grew lonely until he was placed with us. He prefers his kitty friends
and, as you can see in his photo, loves the catio!
Frick, Frack and Frodo are a sweet trio that was cared for by a
neighbor on our block. When she moved to Florida, she asked a
next-door neighbor to feed them and sent that neighbor money to
do so. The neighbor never fed them, because they came to us looking
for food! As much as we would love to bring them inside, they
are feral and would not be happy. They are spayed/neutered and
vaccinated, and we have devised a method of trapping them if they
need medical care. Frick had dental work, and Frodo had some glass in his paw. We built them a shelter,
that has a heated water bowl, heating pads and straw. We can’t touch them, but we love’em to bits.
