Notes from Give Me Shelter Project

Male/DOB: 2/2/2026

To look at me, you would never know how my life began! I was thrown away into the literal garbage cans at a NYCHA housing project in Harlem. My foster mom says I’m a sweet boy and relatively calm for a young kitten. I am a total “lap cat”. As I am fostered with older kitties, I am learning to play nice with others! I’m very respectful!

What happens next

  1. Contact Give Me Shelter Project using the button. AdoptNearby does not take applications.
  2. They will send you their application or ask a few questions about your home.
  3. Most organizations arrange a meet, sometimes a home visit, then a small adoption fee that usually covers spay or neuter and vaccines. That fee is paid to Give Me Shelter Project, never to AdoptNearby.
  4. Read the cats care guide so you arrive prepared.
