Two Local Animal Adoption Events Hope To Match Furry Friends With Loving Homes

The Brooklyn Rescue Umbrella (BRU), which has been doing TNR (trap, neuter, return) and animal rescue and adoption assistance since March 2011 after they became involved in the rescue of 45 cats from Brighton Beach resident Barbara Berger, will be holding two adoption events:

• The Over the Hump Wednesday Adoption Event at Pet Delight, 300 Kings Highway between West 6th Street and West 7th Street, is taking place tomorrow, November 6, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
• The Adoption Event and Sidewalk Sale will be held this weekend, November 9 and 10, also at Pet Delight, to help raise money for BRU’s vet bill.

Among the furry friends available for adoption are a “gorgeous and healthy” Superstorm Sandy cat still waiting for his forever home, and Misu, a faithful companion to an elderly woman, is also waiting for her very own faithful caretaker.

BRU reports that they still have about five more cats that previously belonged to Berger left to adopt. “We don’t give up on these guys,” BRU’s Josie Marrero told us in an email about the event.

“Some of these cats are in dire need of homes of their own — they’re not getting any younger,” Marrero said.
