Adoptable Pet Of The Week: Dumpling The Local Cat

Meet Dumpling, a 5-year-old neighborhood cat searching for a new home. Dumpling is a true local, in fact she used to live in the basement of John’s Bakery.

She starts out timid and then falls deeply in love, according to neighbor Phoebe, who rescued Dumpling from the streets.From Phoebe: “Shortly after Sandy, I noticed 4 cats huddled against the cold on the sidewalk by the former John’s bakery off Cortelyou. I soon came to find out they used to get warm in the bakery basement but had been left with no options after the bakery closed. I soon found myself with a colony of sweet but frightened cats on my hands. Dumpling would allow me to handle her, pet her, and sometimes even pick her up! I’ve been trying to get them all off the streets for a while now, and Dumpling is the first I’ve brought to safety. She’s been fully vetted, healthy, sweet and looking for someone kind and patient to love her forever.”

Dumpling is feLV/FIV negative. She resides in Brooklyn and is ready to meet you. Please contact Small World Animal Rescue or phebenyc@gmail.com for more information on how to take Dumpling home.
