Kuma And Lilly

Kuma (tabby male) and Lilly (black and white female) were adopted four years ago, as kittens born on Roosevelt Island, by a young couple who must now, with great sadness, return the brother and sister because of an allergic newborn.

Kuma and Lilly are healthy, friendly, well-behaved and extraordinarily loving cats, who are now crammed into a half-bathroom and in need of a foster or adoptive home.

Come meet Sissi and Tigrotto this coming Saturday, July 16, from 10am to 1 pm at the Farmer's Market on Roosevelt Island!


Tigrotto and Sissi grew very close when they were abandoned at the same time. They do everything together in their foster home, playing, sleeping and eating with each other. Both are about two years old. Tigrotto is friendly and elegant and looks after Sissi like a big brother. Sissi is a sweet cat but timid, though she soon responds to gentle attention. Both are fixed and tested negative for FIV and FLV.

We have a new section on our website: Up for Grabs

Roosevelt Islanders are generous donors to Island Cats. 

Canned food and dry food from unopened bags is generally distributed to the outdoor colonies of strays fed by Island Cats. We use sheets
and blankets for our yearly Trap-Neuter-Return programs. We’ve distributed items like carriers, litter pans and toys to anyone who needs
them.

From time to time, however, there is an overflow of usable items. 
We now offer them to everyone, for free to Island Cats volunteers and for any (tax-deductible) contribution from others.
