Brooklyn Bridge Animal Welfare Coalition, Inc.: 89 Cats and Kittens for Adoption

Entrechat & Lenore, both former bottle babies, have never met a human they don't like! Be prepared for your lap to always be warm and cozy with these two in your home! As much as they will love you, these two ADORE one another. Out of their whole litter, these two could always be found snuggled up together. It's so sweet to watch. Consider opening your home to this perfect pair of tabby boys!

Buccal and Maxilla are a once shy pair of kittens who are getting braver every day! Maxilla is slightly shyer than his sister, but give some pets and he will warm right up! They both love to snuggle and play with one another, and have never met a toy they don't want to play with.

Pagoda is a beautiful sweet girl! Having come from a hoarding situation, she is very shy, but learning to come out of her shell. She’s most active and curious at night, exploring the whole apartment and leaving no corner un-sniffed. She’s very food-motivated, licking the plate clean every time and licking Churu off her foster's hand. Around humans, she still gets a little scared. But every night, she claims the pillow where her foster sits, a small sign she’s learning to love.

She’ll do the best with a patient adopter who is willing to take the time to let her blossom. She’s not the cuddliest (not yet!) but coming out of her shell day-by-day.

Venom was deceptively named, as there is nothing venomous about this sweet tabby boy. (Given his propensity to sit on his bum like a little old man, we often call him lil’ Vinny).

Bomboloni is an adorable sweet and adventurous little kitten who loves to play, be pet and massaged, and is really chill as soon as she warms up to the environment. She is friendly and curious and amazing at catching any toy. She spends most of her day cuddled next to me, playing with her sister, discovering things, and purring a lot!

Affogato is an adorable sweet little kitten who loves to play as well! It takes her a little longer than Bomboloni to warm up to an environment but once she does she is just as fast and curious! She also loves to be pet and purrs a ton.

Meet Cannoli & Studio

Cannoli and Studio are a playful, affectionate seven-week-old bonded pair looking for a home together. Although they aren’t siblings, they’ve become a lovely little team and are ready to find a family of their own.

Cannoli is a beautiful white kitty with distinctive markings. She’s a little more cautious than Studio and likes to take her time getting comfortable, but she’s sweet, cuddly and loves affection once she feels safe.

Studio is a handsome tabby boy with plenty of playful energy. He’s curious, outgoing and always ready for a game, but he’s just as happy snuggling up for cuddles and climbing into a welcoming lap.

Cinder & Ash were born in the backyard of an apartment building. Some concerned residents rescued them and brought them to our rescue. A neighbor is currently fostering the two of them, and they are getting braver every day.

These two kittens are understandably terrified of people. Although they still have a long road ahead of them, they do now accept treats from their foster mom's hand. They require love and most importantly patience from a kind individual.

Please note they are too young to be altered. We will work with an adopter to schedule this when the time comes.

Cello is a loving sweet boy that values cuddles and taking cat naps. He’s super playful and great with kids, anyone who will play or snuggle him! He loves dropping down at your feet and playing with your toes (gently).

He’s very polite, and is more on the quiet side. He really only meows when he’s hungry or trying to go somewhere he can’t. He’s a very chill cat and he would be a great addition to any family.

This cat needs to be adopted with a friend -- applications for them as a single cat will not be answered.

This sweet girl is a young mama who had kittens while she was still a kitten herself. Now it’s her turn to be someone’s baby!

Double Dutch can be shy at first, but once she feels comfortable, her affectionate personality really shines. She’ll follow you around, looking for pets and scritches, and happily settle into your lap for some quality cuddle time.

She’s playful, too, but has left the extra-wild kitten stage behind. Double Dutch has the best of both worlds: a fun, playful side and a love for cozy time with her favorite people.

Give this lovely girl a little time to warm up, and you’ll have a devoted little best friend by your side.

Mandible is a graduate of our hissy kitten program - and he passed with flying colors! Once shy and shut down, he's blossomed into an incredibly loving boy, who loves to explore and interact with the world around him. Mandible can often be found at the front door of the cafe, exploring and helping to manage guests.

Pepper is a graduate of our hissy kitten program - and he passed with flying colors! Once shy and shut down, he's blossomed into an incredibly loving and tolerant boy, who loves nothing more than sitting with and getting pets from his people. Watch out though, he has a wild streak and likes to play with his feline friends!

This cat needs to be adopted with an age-appropriate friend -- applications for them as a single kitten will not be answered.

Hubby is a total sweetheart who lives for cuddles and affection. He’s extremely loving, a very calming presence, and he loves people. He gets along great with strangers and is very friendly. He’s 11 years old, food-motivated, and low-key. He’s not a playful cat, so he’s best suited to a laid-back home rather than one with a lot of chaos or other high-energy pets.

Meet Joe Dirt!

Found hanging outside a pizza shop in Brooklyn Heights (a hankering we can all understand), Joe Dirt is ready to find his forever home. At around 1 year old, this handsome orange tuxedo boy has the serious, distinguished air of a much older gentleman.

Move Out is an adorable, gentle girl who will lean into pets once she gets to know and trust you. She particularly likes scratches under her chin. She has come such a long way, from hiding behind furniture to happily taking naps right next to his foster. She is a very quiet and peaceful companion who loves simply being in your space, whether that means lounging on the couch or curling up in a chair next to you.

Tito is the sweetest cat you could find. He loves cuddles, and pets - and he will sit there and demand them! He is a very vocal cat with a quiet gentle voice, and if he needs food or a cleaned litter box, he will let you know. If you have children or young people in your home, Tito is your perfect kitty - he is kind and gentle, doesn’t scratch or bite, but isn’t shy - he will introduce himself to new people with no issue. He is like an animal best friend! If you want an adorable, gentle cat to keep you company, Tito is the way to go.

This cat can be adopted with a friend or as a single cat.

Mama Hellen is a total sweetheart, and she went from hiding behind the toilet to sprawling on the couch, napping next to her people, and leaning into cheek scratches. She loves catching rays in whatever sun spots she can find.

She is calm, quiet, and very well-behaved. She is just starting to work up the courage to swat at some toys. She is the most gentle girl, ready for someone to give her a chance.

Shaggy is such a sweet boy! He’s a pretty independent guy and generally spends most of the day doing his own thing. He loves to find a quiet spot to hide, but enjoys stealing the spotlight on a work call as well! He appreciates the company of people and often comes when called. If you pat the couch he will hop right up and wait expectantly for pets! He has absolutely no sense of personal space and will happily climb all over you on the couch, but is a respectful king at night and will sleep politely at the foot of the bed. He has a strong preference for catnip toys and is very treat motivated! He would probably do best with someone who works from home or is hybrid, as we get the sense he likes having people around.

Meet Sid: the sweetest, most affectionate orange boy (with brains to match!)

Sid spent his early days exploring the great outdoors, and now he’s discovering all the good things indoor life has to offer. Case in point: he only recently met his first Churu. A week ago he wasn’t sure what to do with one; now he’s a certified fan. Similarly, he also just discovered what a reflection in the mirror is. His paws are still getting used to the soft life, and he’s loving every minute of it.

Meet Misky!

Misky is a handsome tuxedo boy, approximately 2 years old, with beautiful golden eyes, the cutest white markings, and lots of love to give! He is incredibly affectionate and loves receiving pets and being close to people. He has a sweet, loving personality, but he also has a playful side and gets the zoomies at night!

Misky enjoys having cozy places to relax and is sure to bring plenty of love, companionship, and entertainment into his future home. He is beyond excited to begin his next adventure. Misky deserves a safe, loving forever home where he can be cherished, spoiled, and loved every single day.

This is Moniker. He’s about a year old, sleek black with a clean white tuxedo chest and four white socks. His foster says he has been one of the sweetest, most genuinely affectionate cats they've ever lived with.

Soca is the sweetest large angel!!

She is a very chill, 4-year-old gal who wants to play (mostly while laying) and wants to curl up near you all day! She has a big purr that starts up the second you pet her or start talking to her. She is so goofy because if you pet her face too long, she starts to grab your arm to wrestle and give love bites. We think she gets quickly overstimulated which is why the big loving purr turns to attack mode.

She sleeps extremely deeply and twitches a lot in her sleep. When she wakes up, she meows loudly until she figures out where you are. Then it is back to sleep!

Warwick is a playful, loving, and energetic little lady. She loves snuggles and being in the center of any action. A total lap cat, she'd be a fit in any household. Her favorite toys are wands and tiny mice. After enough time playing and exploring, she loves to take long naps in the sun with her best friend Coco.

She has some stomach/absorption issues so is on a special diet. We'd be happy to speak with a potential adopter about this! Her best friend Coco is also on the same diet.

Meet Backwards Oreo (aka Oero!). This sweet girl came to us in rough shape, as an older dumped pet who clearly spent way too long fending for herself outside. We were able to nurse her back to health, and are so happy she's thriving. She loves a lap, and loves to just hang out near her people. She's a very chill girl, but does sometimes get a tiny burst of energy (especially if there's catnip involved!). We haven't observed her around kids but think she'd do very well in pretty much any household.

Meet Banjo! A rare orange girl kitty!

Banjo is a sweet, affectionate girl who's ready to be your shadow. She'll greet you at the door with meows and follow you from room to room until you give her the pets she so clearly deserves. And she loves her pets: she'll ploop onto her side, then flip over to offer you the other side.

When it's playtime, wand toys are her thing. Move one fast and watch her chase it. She's also easy to pick up, so cuddles are always an option.

If you want a sweet, chatty buddy to come home to, Banjo's your girl.

This cat would prefer to be adopted alone and be the only cat in the home.

Draco is a boy who has been through a lot. Initially a TNR, a year later he decided he was ready to try the indoor life and boy is he happy he did! Shy at first, he is sweet and loving once he warms up and gets comfortable. This big smooshy boy likes to play, but in his ideal world he could snooze and watch birds go by all day.

Meet Saint!

This young boy can initially be a shy guy, and a regular Harry Houdini! Might take a bit to come out of his shell, but can be very easily bribed with Churu or Temptations treats.

Saint is a quiet, curious shadow that is very sweet and loves to play once he comes out of his shell. He would appreciate a quiter and patient home where he can have his own space to adjust on his own time.

He is also certainly a night owl, loving to be curious and play in the evening while sleeping and hiding during the day.

Overall a sweet and silly companion that will guarantee to make you laugh!

Say hello to Moon! This little baby is a total sweetheart. When his foster first brought him to his temporary home, he was recovering from a cold and a little bit shy, but not even 24 hours later, he's come out of his shell and is just a total ball of energy!

Every time his foster comes home, he'll greet them at the door, nuzzle his head against their legs in welcome, and stick to his foster like a shadow.

Moon is high energy and LOVES playtime. He can't get enough of his wand toys and bouncy balls and zooms all around to chase them.

Super Soaker and Galaxy Blaster are a brother sister pair joined at the hip. They can often be found napping together, wrestling, tussling over the same toy, grooming each other, hunting in sync, or eating out of the same bowl when there is no reason to do that.

Galaxy Blaster (the tabby girl) loves scritches and is usually the first to scope out a situation.

Super Soaker (the man in black) is generally the more standoffish of the pair. He’s the more avid hunter, and often comes in for a sneak attack while his sister creates a distraction.

Cyprus is a quiet, calm, and independent girl who’s perfectly content keeping to herself. She’s not interested in toys or exploring the objects around the house very much and would usually rather observe you and her surroundings than play.

She loves being pet, but on her own terms. When she’s in the mood, she’ll headbutt you for affection or give you a soft meow. She’s not a lap cat, but likes to hang out near her people.

Her favorite pastime is sitting and staring at her own reflection in the mirror, and window watching. She does it for hours on end. Sometimes she’ll even try to paw at the cat in the mirror to try to become friends!

Meet Bento Box Blake! Shy at first, this sweet boy warms up quickly after a couple days. Bento needs a good hiding spot in order to get comfortable in new spaces, and even if he’s not ready to come out yet, he loves getting pets and will purr instantly. Once comfortable, he’s a great companion who revels in attention and will follow you as you go about your home. He is a vocal cat and loves to explore and find new hiding spots. He warms up quickly to his humans, but can still be nervous around new experiences (people, noises, etc.).

Clarinet and her brother started Oboe off as a quite spicy pair of kittens, but quickly went from habanero to bell pepper level of spicy as they grew more safe and comfortable.

Knick Knack and Bric a Brac (or Knick and Bric as we call them) are a sweet pair of boys who love attention. They started out a bit shy and hissy (but low levels of spice for sure) and have blossomed into a polite pair of gentleman! Bric a Brac is the tabby, and he is obsessed with treats! He's definitely the hungry boy of the pair. Knick Knack is the black kitten, and he's a bit more restrained. He's also less demanding of attention, but don't be fooled, he's actually the more affectionate of the two! He prefers pets to churu, but also loves snacks. These two love to cuddle and play together, and they're the best of friends.

Meet Ancho and Serrano - two sweet sisters with the tiniest bit of spice! Ancho (black with more white) is an opinionated little lady who loves to play, explore, and let everyone know who is really in charge. A former “hissy kitten”, she has reconsidered her situation and decided that being inside isn’t so bad after all as long as she gets plenty of playtime, food, and churu treats. People can still be a little overwhelming at times, so she appreciates slow introductions as she gets comfortable in new spaces.

The taco fillings have entered the cafe! Pescado (all black) and his sister Nopal are excited to meet you! These kittens are sweet as can be, and love to run around and explore. After they've sniffed all the smells they can find, they're happy to cuddle up together in a big pile. Pescado loves pets and loves romping around the cafe. Nopal is mostly black with some white socks, and she loves to snuggle with her siblings!

The Starbucks Kittens are a group of adorable, fluffy, sweet, and playful brothers. Their current life moto is “play hard, nap harder.” Whether it’s wrestling with each other, chasing crinkly toys, or jumping to catch a bird on a string, they give it everything they’ve got. If you love watching kittens run around at full speed and hear the little pitter patter of their paws, these babies are for you. Once they’re done playing, they will let you know they’re ready for meal time and then it’s time for a long nap. You can often find them snuggled up together or in pairs, although they’re starting to like napping on people too.

Meatball started off as an unsocialized cat found outside in rough condition, but over the past months in foster he has fully blossomed into a social and loving companion! It took him months to gain trust and warm up to me, but now he cannot get enough pets. When I sit on the couch he quickly follows to sit next to me, lay on my lap, and will aggressively bump my hand if I am holding my phone not paying enough attention to him. He loves to be brushed and pet as long as you are willing to do it. And he is learning how to play with toys!

Rummo and Banza are two eleven-month-old playful boys who are just full of so much love and affection. They love to play with their toys (especially feather like toys), play with each other and find new cozy places to nap. They are both 11-months old, neutered, vaccinated and ready for adoption.

Barilla is an exceptional cat! About a year old, he is smart, clever, active, curious, playful, affectionate.

He responds when his name is called (usually, although he has a mind of his own), he jumps up next to his foster on the sofa and purrs; he knows he will get a cuddle and a tummy rub.

Barilla has been friendly with his foster's cat and a visiting dog; it is apparent he would love to have a companion to frolic with, and yet he plays by himself when alone inventing games for his own amusement with noisy feather toys and feather wands and tennis balls.

This polydactyl prince is finally ready for the VIP life after many years struggling to survive on the street in Gowanus, Brooklyn, and impregnating many female cats. Six Toes, as named by one of his rescuers, charmed so many neighbors during his time outside, but was notoriously hard to trap. Finally, after earning his trust, one of them was able to simply pick him up and put him in a carrier! While we don't know how he ended up on the street, we do know that he loves people and likely had a home at some point. We promised him he's never going back outside again!

Meet the beans!

Pinto is a very sweet boy. While still a bit skittish around new people, once he warms up to someone he won't leave their side. If he had his way, he'd spend all day being pet, and then curl up on his person's pillow (or under the covers with them) for the night. It seems like he could purr for 24 hours a day! He hasn't quite found his voice yet, but he is well on his way to becoming the most confident, playful, loving cat.
