Last week, a New York City resident was walking down the street when a piece of cardboard strapped to the entrance of a local warehouse caught their attention. Their heart dropped as they read the words \u201cfree cats\u201d on the cardboard sign, and they immediately approached the business for more information.<\/p>\n

After talking to the warehouse owner for a few minutes, the Good Samaritan\u2019s fears were confirmed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe owners \u2014 who started with two cats and now had four \u2014 were intending to give away two adolescent kittens to anyone who would take them,\u201d Greenpoint Cats<\/a> wrote on Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Good Samaritan was heartbroken. These kittens were part of a larger animal welfare crisis in the city, in which unspayed warehouse cats continuously reproduce, adding to the growing stray population.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe finder explained to the owners the importance of spay\/neutering the entire family \u2014 especially before handing off the kittens who were old enough to have kittens of their own,\u201d Greenpoint Cats wrote.<\/p>\n

The warehouse owners considered the concerned visitor\u2019s point of view and soon changed their minds about giving away just two of the four kitties.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe owners decided they really didn\u2019t want any of the cats,\u201d Greenpoint Cats wrote.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when the Greenpoint Cats staff took over. They shuttled the cats to their local veterinary clinic and had them each vetted and spayed.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a week since the cats were rescued, and one of the sweet kitties has already found a forever home. The other three are still up for adoption, but their friends at Greenpoint Cats are confident that their happily-ever-afters are just around the corner.<\/p>\n

\u201cCrepe Suzette is a one-year-old tortie love bug, who prefers to be the only cat,\u201d Greenpoint Cats wrote. \u201c[Her] daughter, Souffl\u00e9, is equally affectionate and described as \u2018more puppy than cat\u2019 by her foster.\u201d<\/p>\n

The third and only black cat of the group, Flapjack, is still warming up to humans but becoming more social each day. As the folks at Greenpoint Cats see it, it\u2019ll only be a matter of time before Flapjack, or Flappy, learns to trust people again.<\/p>\n

The Greenpoint Cats staff can\u2019t wait to see Crepe Suzette, Souffl\u00e9 and Flapjack go off to their forever homes, but their mission won\u2019t end there. Sadly, there are more warehouse cats like this little family who need saving, and Greenpoint Cats is committed to helping every last one of them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve taken in more than 40 unwanted cats and kittens from local warehouses this year,\u201d Greenpoint Cats wrote. \u201cIt\u2019s a real problem that we hope more neighbors, businesses and city agencies will help address \u2014 for starters, by requiring and providing spay\/neuter services to stop the cycle of suffering.\u201d<\/p>\n
