Foster Cats Collective of Queens, Inc.

Foster Cats Collective of Queens, Inc. is dedicated to improving the lives of cats in Queens through Trap/Neuter/Return initiatives, finding homes for friendly cats, and providing community education on cat welfare and relationships with people.

Hi friends, family, and wonderful colleagues, Whether we work together designing beautiful spaces at Victoria&#39;s Secret or we&#39;re family sharing our lives together, you know two things about me: I have a massive heart for helping others, and my cat, Noni, is my entire world. Every day, Noni reminds me of the pure joy and love that cats bring to our lives. Which is why &nbsp;my heart breaks to look at our city and see so many cats who deserve the same love as Noni, struggling in a life on the street.&nbsp; Across New York City, the animal rescue system is in crisis. Shelters and established rescues are completely overwhelmed, with nowhere left to put the animals who desperately need them. That is exactly why **Foster Cats Collective of Queens** was founded &mdash; and why I stepped up to join the Board of Directors. We are a brand-new organization doing our best to save vulnerable cats who have run out of options. As a board member, I am spearheading efforts to bridge the gap between cats in need and the community that can save them. But because we are newly established, we are building our resources from the ground up, and we can&rsquo;t do it alone. When things get overwhelming, the only solution is for all of us to come together. I know that the people in my life&mdash;the ones who know my heart and my deep drive to care for others&mdash;will want to stand with me in building this foundation. You don&#39;t need to make a massive donation to be a hero today. We need a wave of small, compassionate acts to get our rescue off the ground. Here is how your contribution will build our resources right now: * $5 provides emergency kitten milk replacer for our very first litters of orphaned babies.* $10 covers a nourishing meal and warm blankets for a cat coming off the cold streets.* $15 &nbsp;helps stock our foster kits with enrichment toys* $25 sponsors a critical health check-up to prepare a rescued kitty for their foster home. If you can spare the cost of a coffee this week, please consider donating. You aren&#39;t just helping a cat today; you are helping us build a rescue that will save thousands of lives in the years to come. From the bottom of my heart&mdash;and from Noni&#39;s sweet little paws&mdash;thank you for your endless kindness, and for helping me bring this beautiful mission to life. With so much love and gratitude, Rosa &amp; Noni 🐱❤️

🐾 Rosa & Noni’s Mission: Building a New Lifeline for Queens Cats 🐾

Hola amigos, familia y maravillosos colegas, Ya sea que trabajemos juntos dise&ntilde;ando espacios hermosos en Victoria&#39;s Secret o que seamos familia compartiendo nuestras vidas, saben dos cosas sobre m&iacute;: tengo un gran coraz&oacute;n para ayudar a los dem&aacute;s, y mi gato, Noni, es mi mundo entero. Todos los d&iacute;as, Noni me recuerda la pura alegr&iacute;a y amor que los gatos traen a nuestras vidas. Por eso, mi coraz&oacute;n se rompe al mirar nuestra ciudad y ver tantos gatos que merecen el mismo amor que Noni, luchando por sobrevivir en las calles. A trav&eacute;s de la ciudad de Nueva York, el sistema de rescate animal est&aacute; en crisis. Los refugios y los rescates establecidos est&aacute;n completamente abrumados, sin lugares a donde llevar a los animales que los necesitan desesperadamente. Esa es exactamente la raz&oacute;n por la que se fund&oacute; **Foster Cats Collective of Queens** &mdash; y por la que decid&iacute; unirme a la Junta Directiva. Somos una organizaci&oacute;n nueva que hace todo lo posible para salvar a los gatos vulnerables que se han quedado sin opciones. Como miembro de la junta, estoy liderando esfuerzos para cerrar la brecha entre los gatos necesitados y la comunidad que puede salvarlos. Pero, dado que somos reci&eacute;n establecidos, estamos construyendo nuestros recursos desde cero, y no podemos hacerlo solos. Cuando las cosas se vuelven abrumadoras, la &uacute;nica soluci&oacute;n es que todos nos unamos. S&eacute; que las personas en mi vida&mdash;las que conocen mi coraz&oacute;n y mi profundo deseo de cuidar a los dem&aacute;s&mdash;querr&aacute;n estar a mi lado para construir esta base. No necesitan hacer una gran donaci&oacute;n para ser h&eacute;roes hoy. Necesitamos una ola de peque&ntilde;os actos de compasi&oacute;n para poner en marcha nuestro rescate. Aqu&iacute; est&aacute; c&oacute;mo su contribuci&oacute;n construir&aacute; nuestros recursos en este momento: * $5 proporciona un reemplazo de leche de emergencia para nuestros primeros gatitos hu&eacute;rfanos.* $10 cubre una comida nutritiva y mantas c&aacute;lidas para un gato que sale de las fr&iacute;as calles.* $15 ayuda a llenar nuestros kits de hospedaje con juguetes de enriquecimiento.* $25 patrocina un chequeo de salud cr&iacute;tico para preparar a un gatito rescatado para su hogar de acogida. Si pueden gastar el costo de un caf&eacute; esta semana, por favor, consideren hacer una donaci&oacute;n. No solo est&aacute;n ayudando a un gato hoy; est&aacute;n ayud&aacute;ndonos a construir un rescate que salvar&aacute; miles de vidas en los a&ntilde;os venideros. Desde el fondo de mi coraz&oacute;n&mdash;y desde las suaves patitas de Noni&mdash;gracias por su infinita amabilidad y por ayudarme a hacer realidad esta hermosa misi&oacute;n. Con mucho amor y gratitud, Rosa &amp; Noni 🐱❤️

🐾 Misión de Rosa y Noni: Construyendo una Nueva Línea de Vida para los Gatos de Queens 🐾

FCCQ has an exciting opportunity - $2,400 has been raised on Luci&#39;s behalf by Waggle and designated for her ~$3,300 CT Scan. &nbsp;<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1790016801/wysiwyg/u3py09n9eivsjsr620tr.jpg" style="width: 297px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; user-select: none; max-width: 100%; position: relative; box-sizing: inherit;" fr-original-style="width: 297px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable">The Background :&nbsp;For those of you who don&#39;t know her, this sweet little void is Luci. &nbsp;She&#39;s been with us since December 2025 when she was brought to us by a concerned feeder who noticed her snuffles and snorts. We brought her to Flatbush Vet where she was examined, &nbsp;vaccinated and SNAP tested, given a round of antibiotics in case there was a bacterial URI, but nothing came back out of the ordinary, the antibiotics didn&#39;t change anything for her, and so an appointment was made to search for polyps. &nbsp;We were certain this was the issue and were shocked when Dr. Maguire notified us that they found nothing unusual, no sign of polyps anywhere during her ear, nose, and esophageal scope. The next step is a cranial CT scan. &nbsp;This will show if there are any masses, anomalies, blockages, foreign bodies, etc. that could be causing Luci&#39;s breathing problems. We got estimates of up to $6,000 for this visit, but we are ultimately able to have her little nogginx-rayed for the low, low *estimated* cost of only $3,300. &nbsp; A Life-Changing Opportunity for LuciThe rising cost of medical care is a tough reality everywhere these days, and the veterinary industry is no exception. &nbsp;For our own cats at home, cats living in communities across the boroughs, and for rescues like ours, cost can often be the reason that medical issues go untreated. At Foster Cats Collective of Queens, we made a commitment to each other and the cats that we would do our absolute best for every cat in our care. &nbsp;We refuse to compromise on urgent or diagnostic care simply because of a price tag. &nbsp; Luci deserves better.&nbsp;It breaks our hearts to think that she might be living with a condition that is easily treatable, or an issue that is quietly worsening simply because we don&#39;t have answers yet.&nbsp; As a small, new rescue, our every day reality is operating on a tight budget. &nbsp;But through a partnership with Waggle&nbsp;- a dedicated medical crowdfunding platform for animals - we have an incredible opportunity to change our reality and establish a lasting safety net.&nbsp; How the Funding Works - and Why We Need You Today Thanks to our amazing community and the folks at Waggle, $2,400 has been raised and designated to cover Luci&#39;s medical care. &nbsp;<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1790016839/wysiwyg/a52ea5sipuxlm5gu3u27.jpg" style="width: 600px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; user-select: none; max-width: 100%; position: relative; box-sizing: inherit;" fr-original-style="width: 600px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable"> However, Waggle doesn&#39;t pay the clinic upfront. &nbsp;To receive the funds, FCCQ must pay the vet bill and submit the invoice to Waggle, who will then directly reimburse us. By raising $3,300 with your support, we will accomplish two vital goals.&nbsp; 1. &nbsp;Immediate Answers for Luci :&nbsp;We can cover her scan upfront, and hopefully solve the mystery of her diagnosis, without touching funds set aside for other needs. &nbsp; 2. The Creation of a $2,400 Revolving Medical Fund :&nbsp;When the scan is complete, Waggle reimburses our account, which will be the initial funding for a permanent emergency safety net. &nbsp; How a Revolving Medical Fund Helps :&nbsp;Having an active emergency reserve allows us to take immediate action for cats with severe trauma, or expensive medical treatment needs (like Luci). &nbsp;We can say YES without worrying about draining operational funds, and while treatment is underway, we will work with Waggle to fundraise for the emergency case. Funds they raise will go back into our emergency fund, stretching our initial $2,400 far beyond that and ready to help the next cat in crisis. &nbsp;<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1790016870/wysiwyg/ozvvju72oat9da9phtqe.jpg" style="width: 600px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; user-select: none; max-width: 100%; position: relative; box-sizing: inherit;" fr-original-style="width: 600px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable"> Your contribution today isn&#39;t just a single donation for Luci; it is the foundational seed capital that powers a continuous cycle of emergency care for Queens cats.
