Tender Loving Cats, Inc.

About

This volunteer-operated nonprofit organization focuses exclusively on feline rescue and welfare throughout the Long Island area. The organization operates as a no-kill shelter while implementing comprehensive trap-neuter-return programs to address community cat overpopulation. Their work encompasses rescuing cats from difficult situations, providing medical care for injured animals, and rehabilitating abandoned felines for placement in permanent homes. All cats and kittens receive spay or neuter procedures before adoption as part of their population control mission. The organization maintains adoption centers at two PetSmart locations in North and West Babylon, with regular visiting hours throughout the week. They also operate fundraising initiatives including seasonal plant sales and are working toward establishing a low-cost veterinary clinic specifically for spay/neuter services and TNR programs. Recent statistics show the organization facilitates hundreds of adoptions annually while also providing TNR services for feral cat populations. Their foster-based model relies on volunteer networks to provide temporary care for cats requiring medical treatment or socialization before adoption. Pet owners can reach the organization through their phone line or visit during scheduled hours at either adoption center location.
