A group of Brooklyn volunteers have fed approximately two dozen cats on the Brooklyn waterfront. they have all been spayed and neutered, vaccinated; our volunteers feed them daily, with most of the food costs coming from their own pockets.   It’s time for us to get our cats back to the vet for check-ups, as it’s been about seven years since they’ve been to the vet. We’d like to update rabies, shots, to treat fleas and ear mites, and to check their teeth.   We know that our beautiful Cola recently had a swollen jaw. Nova has lost some weight, which concerns us.   We’d also like to assess them for friendliness; several of them show signs of enjoying human contact, and perhaps they’d like to give up the outdoor life and come inside.   Unlike fully socialized cats, our cats need to be sedated, and Ofcourse the vet care costs money. Thanks to the generosity of some local vets, we can lower the costs, but it will still cost about $150 per cat.   We love our colony cats, and we are grateful to the NYC DOT for allowing us to continue to care for them on city property.   If you are able to help us pay for vet care, we will gratefully accept your donation.   We are also happy to accept donations of food or cash, or payment directly to the veterinarians who so graciously and generously help us keep the cats healthy.   If you’d like information on how to donate (through a wish list, through Venmo/PayPal/Zelle, to the vets), please leave us a comment and we’ll follow up with you.   Thank you so much for helping to support a small number of the thousands of cats living outside in Brooklyn.
