Helping a Friendly Abandoned Cat Named Little Bear

It’s always distressing to hear about an abandoned cat, especially when they once lived with a family

Thankfully there are volunteers like Flatbush Cats. They’re an organization that focuses on reducing the outdoor cat population in Brooklyn, New York.

There are over 500,000 cats on the streets of New York City and Flatbush Cats focus on trap, neuter and return training (TNR), mentoring and educating people in this process and of course cat rescue and adoption.

One day, a neighbor of Flatbush Cats found an abandoned cat on their porch, apparently he’d been trying to find a way to sneak inside.

There was a heavy chain around his neck which they quickly removed.

They named him Little Bear and wondered why such an amazing kitty would be abandoned.

He was about 12 months old, much like most of the cats they found on the street, he was about to reach maturity.

Little bear had not been neutered and because of this he would have strong smelling urine.

This is one of the reasons that many male cats of his age are abandoned.
