We are so incredibly proud of all the work that we have done throughout the last few years. Over 300+ rescued and fixed and this is only the beginning.
Your help means we can save a life. In New York where cats are everywhere it can be really difficult to find help for the abandoned and defenseless but we made it our mission to help as many cats and kittens as we could. Here’s to 100 more years of rescuing the most vulnerable felines!

Meet Gus our little FIV+ stud muffin ✨
He’s been on our adoption sites for quite some time with little to no interest 😢
He should go to a home with no young children and preferably no other cats. He is so sweet and playful. He is totally healthy and His FIV status means nothing. If you are interested in giving this sweet boy a home for the holidays, please DM us or apply via our website www.kittensandbarbells.org .
Rescuers on insta every time they get a new cat in 🌝
We honestly lose track of how many cats come in until I look back at our camera roll. Thank you to everyone who makes this possible! We can’t wait for #givingtuesday !!
The work never ends!
Here we have:
•Marley, our new girl who was stuck in a tree before she made our way to us! She is Mela’s sister who finally came out from hiding.
•Snow, our semi feral who has open wounds on his legs so he got a check up for some meds and consult for a dental
•Cutie, our new senior girl who was previously TNR’d but now totally friendly so it’s time for her to find a home! She is with @dorkus8malorkus who brought her in and is fostering her. She will also be needing a dental procedure because her teeth are pretty bad.
Sometimes we get so busy that it’s hard to post 🥲. We started working on a new trapping project today and brought in 3 cats — one injured. Your support means the world to us — this #givingtuesday you can donate to our Charity via Meta (FACEBOOK) where they will be matching up to $2million in donations.
We will also be sharing how to start your own fundraiser! 🤍🤩
Mela here to tell you that our pre-order is LIVE!!! 📣
You’ve been asking for it so we delivered! We launched our classic design, lucky cat and new Sphinx cat design!
You can shop your favorite charitable merch via our website www.kittensandbarbells.org under the “shop” link. 100% of the proceeds go back to the cats and doing what we love!
*OUR PRE-ORDER IS AVAILABLE NOVEMBER 27-DECEMBER 4*
You can dm us with questions!

Our last two siblings to complete our trio! They have made quite the transformation since they arrived Just a few weeks ago.
Your donations help make this work possible. Kittens require multiple vet visits, multiple deworming, vaccines, lots of food, lots of litter and supplies, toys, surgery — and the list goes on!!

Our little super model baby is thriving! Swipe to the last photo from when he first arrived covered in fleas 🤢. This sweet baby has two special different colored eyes and is going on Monday with his Siblings and Mela for a snap test and check up!

Depression and Burnout in animal rescue is so prevalent yet isn’t widely spoken about. I am a very private person so posting these videos is very difficult for me but almost feels necessary.
After doing this for so many years, the pressure, the anxiety, the exhaustion and everything begins to build on you in a really big way.
If you follow our rescue you will know that as of lately, we have had medical emergency after medical emergency and loss after loss. As a rescue, we are in a major financial crisis which leads to self deprecating thoughts💭:
•”People don’t donate because you don’t do enough”
•”People prefer other causes to donate to because your work doesn’t matter.”
•”Animals don’t matter in the grand scheme of things.”
•”You aren’t good at running a rescue, that’s why they prefer to donate and support other rescues.”
I know that these thoughts aren’t true ❌ but they still go through my mind and I bet so many rescuers feel similar thoughts. It is very difficult for me to ask for help, that’s just because of who I am. This fact makes it difficult to run a Non-Profit that requires everyone’s help!
If I have anything to say, it’s to please be kind to others. You never know the battles they are fighting. Please be gentle with those working in animal fields, we face so much that is not shown on social media. Everyone has the ability to help the cause whether it is to ADOPT - DONATE - VOLUNTEER (in person/virtually) - SPREAD AWARENESS - FOSTER
