“We’re on a mission to save homeless, sick, and dying animals.”
Puppy Kitty NyCity is an incredible nonprofit organization that focuses on the TNR program (trap, neuter, return) and rehabilitating and rehoming street cats and dogs.
A spokesperson for the organization shared, “At any given time, we have 250 animals in our care. Last year we rescued almost 900 animals.”
Their goal is never to say no to an animal in need, and they work tirelessly to achieve this.
One of their initiatives is the “Barn Cat Program,” where they relocate feral cats to farms and sanctuaries.
“While the majority of the feral cats here in New York can easily live outdoors, there are situations we have found where it’s unsafe to return the cats to where they were trapped.”
To help these kitties, they came up with the barn cat program, a perfect solution.
“We pair feral cats who prefer not to live in a home but are in danger living on the street, to farms or warehouses that need a barn/working cat. They get to live out their lives with shelter, food, and water in exchange for helping with rodent control!”
Farms realized that adopting a working cat can help control rodent populations naturally, without the need for rodenticides or other invasive methods.
“We like to adopt our barn cats out in pairs so they can have a companion,” they said.
We wholeheartedly approve of this wonderful initiative, and it’s evident that many cats have been given a better life.
In the picture below, we see Carla, rescued from a dangerous part of NYC in the middle of winter. She was soon relocated and is loving her new horse friends on her forever Massachusetts ranch.
They also hold many adoption events and are always on the lookout for volunteers.

They’ve had many successful rescue missions, particularly the story of the “Fruit Kittens.”
Their story began when volunteers from Puppy Kitty NYCity spotted a heavily pregnant tabby cat in a city park. Realizing time was of the essence as she was ready to give birth, they quickly trapped her, and in less than a day, she gave birth to five beautiful kittens!
It was as if she had waited for the right people to come along and take her to a warm and friendly place where she would get all the care she needed once her kittens were born.
Her rescuers affectionately named her Mama Tart; she’s a loving mom who even took on an extra kitten needing care. They named the babies after fruit – Kiwi, Mango, Watermelon, Lemon, Tangerine, and Guava, collectively known as the “Fruit Kittens.”
All the kittens are healthy, have great appetites, and are doing really well. They’re full of energy, love to chase each other around, including lots of climbing up and down their favorite cat trees.
They also enjoy taking part in fashion shows because for Halloween, they wore some very dashing outfits!

They do have a lot of magic – but now they need a kind heart to let them in.
