We welcome suggestions for this website and group. We also welcome names and phone numbers of Roosevelt Islanders who are interested in adopting Island cats, volunteering, or fostering a cat. We are also always in need of Styrofoam steak boxes for winter cat shelters. Dumping cats is not a solution. We can try to help you find affordable neutering. We will also try to answer questions left by telephone at (212) 593-1054 or via email at contact@islandcats.org. And information is available from the Mayor’s Alliance for NYC’s Animals at http://www.animalalliancenyc.org.
