Brooklyn, NY
Brooklyn Bridge Animal Welfare Coalition Inc (BBAWC) is a non-profit animal rescue coalition founded in 2007 dedicated to improving cat welfare and proactively addressing cat homelessness and overpopulation across New York City. The organization operates the Brooklyn Cat Cafe, one of the first non-profit rescue cat cafes in the country, along with the BBAWC Rescue Clinic, which provides high-volume low-cost spay/neuter and veterinary services. Through foster care, rescue adoption, community trap-neuter-return (TNR) initiatives, and humane education, BBAWC works toward a future where zero cats suffer on NYC streets.
Interested adopters can view adoptable cats online or visit the Brooklyn Cat Cafe to interact with animals, followed by submitting an adoption application.
BBAWC has limited space and staff and generally cannot take cats immediately, but they assist owners in rehoming pets either while the owner fosters or by attempting to place the cat into their foster network, while recommending resources like Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC).
