What
do film-makers, an investment banker, an attorney, a web designer
and an opera director/veterinary technician have in common?

We
all share a deep compassion and commitment to helping New York City
street cats. We each feel the frustration that not enough is being
done to help these cats who live in our shadows, feed on our garbage,
scamper for warmth under our cars, barely surviving on the streets.
We know that without sustained efforts from the community, urban
street cats often don’t stand a chance and so collectively
we created Urban Cat League.A few years ago we came together and created a small sanctuary for street cats in midtown Manhattan. There feral cats can live in a protected, safe and happy environment. But we realized that we needed and wanted to do more. In August of 2002, we became a non-profit corporation, Urban Cat League so we can expand beyond our tiny sanctuary. Our success at socializing wild street kittens for adoption has made the demand for our services exceed the capacity of our sanctuary. We wanted to start helping others who are experiencing the frustrations of how to help street cats.
We are all seasoned street cat care-givers. Our evolving purpose is expanding services available for helping Street Cats in NYC
