Hi. My name is Christine, and I'm running the NYC Marathon in November for charity. Rather than running for a huge organization, I am running to raise funds for my favorite local charity/cat rescue-Itty Bitty Kitty Bay Ridge, NY.

They do a lot of great Trap-Neuter-Release, rescues, and adoptions for the less fortunate kitties of Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. I have volunteered for them in the past, and it is nonstop for these dedicated rescuers.

Recently, they lost George Politis, the founder and main trapper for IBKNY. When this happened, they also lost their main holding space for the many rescued cats and kittens in their care. You can help this local rescue get back on its feet by donating to this campaign.

Funds will be used for medical treatment, food supplies and anything else needed to save the cats and kittens of Bay Ridge. You can check out their website below.

In the two photos is Crackers. This is his photo before he was trapped. The other photo is of him safe and sound under the care of IBKNY. He, along with many other cuties, is available for adoption.
