It's that time of year and kittens are everywhere. These kittens are just some of many making unconventional homes in the backyards, basements, and decommissioned vehicles of our city this spring.
Clutch and Muffler were living in an auto body shop after their mom disappeared. We’re finding new kittens outside every single day. That’s why I’m asking you to become a monthly supporter. It feels good to take action, and give more cats the love and comforts they all deserve.
Roslyn made her way very politely into our trap. Spaying pregnant cats is something that none of us love, but in a city where the onslaught of kittens and cats vastly outpaces the resources available to care for them, it's the only choice.
This calico had something odd about one of her eyes, and her feeders wanted it to be checked. While she was spayed, the vets concluded that while her eye is discolored, it did not need to be removed. She returned her outdoor home free from the cycle of constant breeding.
Flatbush Cats is hiring for an exciting new role! The Community Engagement Manager will connect people and their pets with the services and resources they need through our nonprofit clinic, our community cats program, and other programs starting soon. flatbushcats.org/careers
We found this mom and her kittens in a large medical waste facility. Thanks to you, we were able to rescue this family and provide the care they need. But there are so many other cats needing help right now - that’s why I’m asking you to join us today as a sustaining member.
Thanks to our supporters and a grant from the city council, @flatbushvet will have even lower rates this spring for folks who are facing financial barriers. To learn more and request an appointment, visit flatbushvet.org.
When they are 5 to 6 weeks old, kittens should begin to transition to eating solid food on their own, by following mom’s lead. It’s normal for kittens to continue to nurse as well for a short time, but in a few more weeks, mom’s work will be done here.
As the kittens get older, mom enjoys a separate zone where she can take a break. And eventually the kittens are ready for a larger space where they can run around and expend all that kitten energy.
Ideally kittens will receive all 3 essential types of socialization at this stage - they will learn from mom, from other kittens their age, and from you. You can also start to introduce toys and other types of environmental enrichment, to boost their coordination and confidence.
Solving this crisis requires support and funding from the city. Thank you @JustinBrannan for prioritizing funding for upstream solutions. When more NYers have affordable access to veterinary care, we'll have fewer cats fighting to survive outside or crowding animal shelters.
city leaders getting on board - thank you @JustinBrannan

We named her Mama Stracciatella. She’s very happy to have a safe and relaxing space to raise her babies. It’s also really important to weigh the kittens daily, and track their progress, to confirm they are making steady gains.
When fostering a mom cat and her kittens, we prefer to use a large dog crate. This keeps the kittens safe, reduces stress for mom, and is much easier for you to clean. And within that crate, it’s important to give mom a smaller nesting space where she can nurse her kittens.
We found this family in a Brooklyn apartment basement where at least 20 other cats were fighting to survive. Because our community lacks affordable access to veterinary care, cats are quickly reproducing out of control.
What is it like to be a foster parent? In this video series, you’ll watch these little nuggets grow up with their mom, and learn how you can help a family just like this. There’s a lot of cleaning and general daily support required, but It’s incredibly rewarding.
There are so many friendly cats needing help outside right now. Ensign and her boopable nose were happy to sign up for the good life and, after a spay and lots of scritches, she was off to a waiting foster home.
This fluffy tuxedo lady is living the good life thanks to you! Once trapped, spayed, and relieved of many painful matts, this former outdoor cat was friendly to our surprise. Little Lotte was sent off to foster where she loves her big pittie roommate, Obi!
There are so many friendly cats outside needing help right now. Neighbors didn't know where this tabby lady came from, but she had been outside for awhile - and they all agreed it was time for her to find an indoor home. She's receiving all the care she needs (including a spay).
After eating from garbage bags in the rain, Tibi wasn't too worried about a bath to remove all of the dirt and fleas from her extra floofy fur. We're finding tons of friendly cats needing help outside right now. Please join us as a monthly supporter. Thank you.

@flatbushcats Kitten gains is my favorite gains 💪🏽
My boyfriend got into my book collection so the first thing I heard this morning when I walked into the living room was “WHOOOO ANGELA DAVIS BE COOKIN” 😂 We love to see it
he thinks he’s a baby
I encourage you to support Flatbush Cats and their new clinic Flatbush Vet! They really are the nicest people with the nicest facility, working incredibly hard for the community. Raheem had the nicest, painless visit AND they gave him some fancy feast wet food for a treat
I think everyone knows my son Raheem was a rescue and the proudest supporter of Flatbush Cats so we were honored to take him for his first visit and wellness check at Flatbush Vets! Genuinely, I'm so happy they're up and running and providing affordable petcare to the community🥹
💫 GIVEAWAY! 💫 Have you been wanting to join Bluesky but can't get an invite? Right now I have 50 codes and all you have to do for a chance to win one is make a donation to @flatbushcats and show me a screenshot to prove it. flatbushcats.org/donate
Huge major congratulations to our colleagues at @flatbushcats on the ribbon cutting of their new low cost community veterinary care clinic! Thank you @JustinBrannan for allocating $150,000 to help the NYC cat crisis!
Today we cut the ribbon on the new @flatbushcats clinic! Flatbush Vet will increase access to affordable veterinary care, providing 7,500+ spay neuter surgeries each year, in addition to basic wellness services and vaccinations. Together we can end overcrowded animal shelters!🐈⬛
In a city where basic spay/neuter surgeries can run between $600 and $2K, @flatbushcats aims to offer services well below even the low end of that range and be as competitive and accessible as possible. thewildest.com/cat-lifestyle/…
I did a quick add up of the donations (where visible) and we raised at least $760! I will DM the winners later tonight because I have to go make/eat dinner now. If you didn’t win you can comment “GOSH DARN IT” below and maybe someone will see it and give you a code! ❤️
✨ GIVEAWAY! ✨ I have 10 Bluesky invite codes. For a chance to get one just respond here with a screenshot showing a donation to @flatbushcats! I will select ten people at random and DM you the code. ❤️flatbushcats.org/build
🐾 Calling all cat lovers and change-makers! We're making strides towards making basic veterinary care accessible to even more New Yorkers through @flatbushcats new nonprofit spay neuter clinic in Brooklyn. 🌟 We've come a long way and are now just a hop, skip, and a jump away…
Estimates say there are about a half million feral cats in NYC and shelters are full. So what do we do about it? Listen to @willzweigart of @flatbushcats talk about the roots of the problem and how we might be able to start solving it wnyc.org/story/what-do-…

This is a crisis. Our NYC cats need our help.
NYC animal shelters are now closed for cat intake. This is a full-blown crisis. We must move upstream + increase affordable access to spay neuter services right now. Join us here: flatbushcats.org/build
Today I visited @bikenewyork's Bike Path program which trains formerly incarcerated New Yorkers as bike mechanics. This cohort is graduating from the 5-week course on Friday and starting jobs at Citibike on Monday! It's an impressive and inspiring project I hope to see grow.
