Cat Abandoned On Brooklyn Street Corner With Its Toys And Litter Box
June 2, 2016 | No Comments » | Topics: Rescue |
Dear whomever thought it was a good idea to leave your cat on the side of the road with his litter box, you suck.
This poor cat was left all alone along with a few cat supplies and his litter box on Nostrand Avenue in Brooklyn, New York. Neighbors discovered the cat crying and sitting beside his belongings.
The poor cat has no idea what just happened – or why? Why would his human just dump him out like trash? Meredith Ferrel, who took the picture, was the first person to find the cat who was soon named, Nostrand.
Prior to his disappearance, a rather depressing photo of the cat was captured. The Flatbush Area Team for Cats (FAT Cats), a Brooklyn-based rescue group for cats, shared this photo to their Facebook page in hopes the local community could help find him. Unfortunately, a street sweeper spooked him, and he ran off. People rallied, and Elizabeth Champ, one of FAT Cats’ founders, headed out to look for Nostrand. It took days, but soon Nostrand was found in Karen Oh’s backyard.

100 Retired Lab Chimps See The Sky For The First Time
February 18, 2016 | No Comments » | Topics: Rescue |
All across the United States, thousands of animals live in cages for lab testing. Their entire lives are spent in captivity and they’re used for research purposes. They never get to go outside, they never get to interact with other animals, and nothing about their lives is natural. You can definitely make the argument that medical testing on animals has been beneficial to mankind, but it is still an extremely sad way for any animal to spend its life.
Thankfully, the Humane Society of the United States is doing everything it can to give these animals a better life. As far as chimpanzees go, The Humane Society is actively rescuing lab chimps and giving them a natural habitat to climb trees and engage with other chimps.
The chimps you’ll see in the video below are part of a massive chimp retirement. Over 100 chimps were released into a sanctuary. since they’ve been kept in captivity for most of their lives, they can never be released back into the wild, especially since most of them are over 50 years old. However, the sanctuary is the next best place for a chimp to live out their lives in peace.
Besides being able to play outside for the first time, this was also the first time many of the chimps are getting to interact with each other with out cages separating them. For the rest of their lives, these chimps will be able to socialize and explore a natural habitat.

Rescued Circus Lion Feels Grass For The First Time In 13 Years!
February 10, 2016 | No Comments » | Topics: Rescue, Video |
Will the lion spent the last 13 years of his life in a Brazillian circus. Although wild animal circus bans do exist on a local level in Brazil, sadly many animals continue to be abused and exploited in these cruel attractions. Will was one of these animals and the impact of living in a cramped, fetid cage took a major toll on his well-being.
Thankfully, after over a decade of suffering, Will was rescued by Rancho do Gnomos. This amazing organization is a safe haven for domestic, wild and exotic animals who have been abused or neglected. Most of the animals in the sanctuary’s care come from captivity backgrounds, so the staff was more than prepared to help Will adjust to his new found freedom.
In this video, Will steps onto the grass for the first time in years! Seeming to understand that he will never have to suffer in a small cage again, Will makes himself right at home. It’s a shame it took him 13 years of suffering to reach this point, but we are so pleased to see him finally taste freedom!
