Charlie's Adopted!

Once I was lost
To which I'd furrever be bound
Purrrrounded by friends
and my big fluffy bear
Whatever I needed
Someone was there
Then one day my foster mom said
"It's time to go!"
I was sure she was wrong
and I had to scream, "NOOOOO!"
She introduced me to my new mom
and my big brother, Max
But I just wanted to hiss
So I hid by some racks
But after a while
I came out to explore
And learned something new
I’d not realized before
This is MY mom!
Finally! A mom of my own!
And a buddy, a papa
In my very OWN home!
So I curled up with mama
And kept her warm through the night
Then I kneaded and snuggled her
With all of my might
And then it was time
To charm my new friend
I stumbled at first
But now we’re friends til the end
So that’s all folks!
I’m with my mama and my bestie!
Living the dream
That was always my destiny
This story ends well
For your little friend Charlie
And from now on
You can all call me Marley

Charlie's one lucky guy

Dear New Forever Home:

Hi! My name is Charlie and I need a home!
I'm all packed up and ready to go!
See, my foster mom found me in a warehouse,
I was pretty dirty and my belly was sick...
But she cleaned me up and made it all better
I was all cleaned up, mega-chilled out
and ready for a home,
but...
it turned out I had ringworm :0
and I had it bad!
So my new home was put off while I lived in
my foster mom's bathroom to shake the ringworm
with medicine and some time (it seemed like forever).
But that's old news!
I'm over all that!
Let me tell you a little about myself!
I am happy and healthy and WILD!
I'm also a bit of a mama's boy;)
I love a good snuggle!
Yet, I'm always on alert!
If there is a noise in the building,
I am first on the scene investigating!
(I learned that from my foster papa cat, Mr. Eko)
I love curling up into the crook of a good neck
(long hair is a bonus)
I love curling up for movie night
I LOVE hair!
I really love hugs
And did I mention I love hair!
I also love a good cat nap!
If you want to know more and
see more pics and videos see my
flickr set here!
If you are looking for a new kitty,
please consider adopting me!
I am neutered, FIV/FELV negative,
vaccinated for rabies and FVRCP,
de-wormed and sugar sweet.
I love my cat friends,
so I would really like a kitty friend in my new home
I'm about 7 months old, so I'd like a
feline buddy to run, jump and wrestle with!
If you want to meet me, you can come to my
foster mom's home in Sunnyside, Queens.
You can reach her at bigcitylittlekitty@yahoo.com

I hope to meet you soon!
Love,
Charlie

Argyle and Corduroy find a home!

Argyle and Corduroy were late additions to the fabric store colony.
I spayed 5 females there
and took in 2 kittens, Dungaree and Burlap, in June.
The store owner and I thought that colony was finished, until...
He called me in September
to tell me a mom and 2 kittens were in the back yard.
I went to check it out, I was sure he was mistaken!
But, sure enough, there they were.
Two little long haired kittens too young to TNR.
So I told him I'd be back the next week to trap
I couldn't get their mama (I'll go back)
but I got the 2 little ones
They moved in to Big City Little Kitty's foster home
to learn a few things about being house cats
1. These big humans aren't so bad
2. Humans have lots of food
3. Couches are awesome
4. Beds are even more awesome
5. Snuggling rocks!
And then...one day at a North Brooklyn Cats'
adoption event at Muddy Paws...
They were adopted!
TOGETHER!
Here they are in their new together, forever home!
(Pics provided by their new awesome mama)
Their new names may be Lawrence and Taylor,
(No, not after the football player)
but the names are to be confirmed later

Yep, they're livin' the dream!
Play all night, sleep all day!
They even have a lovely garden to supervise!
I hear they are doing great,
mom and pop are in love with them
and they are not shy at all!
NICE JOB GUYS!
They are both talkers too:)
Mom says "Argyle talks when he wants something,
And Corduroy calls for him when she's looking for him"
UM, ADORABLE!
They were both a couple of chatter boxes here too!
Another happy ending for Big City Little Kitty!

providing us with adoption events
where so many kitties find their homes:)

circle of friends/rescuers!

"My name is Charlie"...Charlie's looking for his Angel

Once upon a time, there were two little kittens who were dumped at a feral cat colony, where they were each exposed to some very hazardous conditions. One of them was never seen again. But I was taken away from all that, and now Big City Little Kitty works for me, my name is Charlie.
I walked into a warehouse where I manage a feral cat colony
and a kitten came running up to me.
I thought, WHAT?
He was not feral in any way, shape or form.
He came straight up to me and introduced himself.
I was told there were 2, but the other had not been seen for a week:(
All of the cats in the warehouse were named after characters on LOST, and considering he was a skinny little thing with light hair and gorgeous eyes, I named him Charlie.
Charlie offered me a job, to rescue him.
I had to accept this offer
as I couldn't sleep at night knowing he was left there unattended.
And so, I became, "Charlie's Angel".

It seems Charlie had another angel, a feral cat I had spayed 2 years ago when she was only 4 months old. She followed us everywhere we turned in the warehouse, watching every move I made with the kitten she had been protecting. This was odd because on any other day she would never have revealed herself or her whereabouts to me.
Thanks Beauty!
Another one of Charlie's Angels.
Charlie had an enormous belly, full of worms and who knows what parasites!
Aside from that gigantic belly, the rest of him was skin and bones.
So I borrowed a carrier from Mildred, she lives around the corner, and she drove us home.
I de-wormed him asap and gave him a bath.
I cleared the caked on dirt crammed between his toes
and the fleas and other bugs out of his fur.
He cleaned up nice!
And after a couple of days his belly was looking a little more normal!
I'm a sucker for a little bird legged, big bellied kitten!
And now he's happy as can be!
He one of the most docile, content, happy kittens I have ever met.
He does not cry to be let out, but loves getting scooped up for a snuggle!
And man does he love that Teddy Bear!
Charlie's looking for one more good angel, a forever angel.
Are you Charlie's Angel?
