BEAUTY,716, F, spayed, SHOTS, 2 yrs. Very loving ok w/kids.  Family member has serious repertory condition. Beauty is living in the basement of the apt. building. adopted by Catherine Hoeg
Hello Friends! 2006 has been a year of new beginnings for Muffin’s.
PeggySue the semi-feral three-legged cat we rescued last year now has a new home. For those who do not know or may have forgotten, my brother’s family in CT adopted Peggy. However, new additions to their household included, two mini goats, which survived the slaughterhouse, but put Peggy under great stress. It was decided that a new home for Peggy, was best and she now lives with us. Shortly, after PeggySue had adjusted into her new life with Scooter, our sixteen-year-old cat, we adopted Calay a rescued six-week-old handicapped kitten. *Please read about Teresa Romano below* Muffin’s created a PeggySue catnip/cuddle doll, to remind people to ‘See Capabilities, not the Disabilities’. The new joyful energy in our home is much welcomed. Another new beginning is our work with the Mayor’s Alliance getting feral cats altered. (See MAMA). In addition to Adoptions and our Spay/Neuter work, we assist with medical expenses whenever possible. Your support has been a blessing, helping us continue our work. Included in this issue are just a few of the many adoptions we have assisted.
In closing this year, we wish you all the Best for the New Year! Jude & Norm  Thank you and God Bless!
Another new beginning is MAMA:
Muffin’s And Mayor’s Alliance. Muffin’s is teaming up with Valerie Sicignano, Director of the NYC Feral Cat Initiative, a program of the Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals, to create MAMA, a Spay/Neuter Feral Cat coupon program in support of our ongoing efforts to make NYC a no-kill city:
a city where no healthy cat is euthanized. MAMA’s pink coupon is for FERAL CATS only, covering the spay/neuter, Rabies shot, and left ear tipping. The ASPCA and NEIGHBORHOOD CATS will also promote MAMA.  For more information, call 718-833-7988.
                                     
* TERESA ROMANO, is a Guardian Angel for God’s orphaned kitties. Still in her PJs and wearing slippers, Teresa responded to an emergency call about a three-legged kitten with a dangling back paw. She flew like an Angel, and grabbed the sick six-week-old Calico from the street. She was horrified when she saw pus and blood pouring out of the infected little stump from the malnourished, flea infested kitten. She rushed the kitty to the vet, who thought the entire back paw might have to be surgically removed. Teresa gave the Clavamox, and nurtured the kitty 24-7. The Healing Angel saved the kitten’s life. There was no surgery on the little stumpy.  God Kissed Her Little Paw Æ Muffin’s adopted Calay.


THE PEGGYSUE Fund helped subsidize medical for these and other needy pets. Your generous contributions made this possible.

The Tabby in the Manger

Another wonderful legend about the origin of the "M" tells about Mary and the tabby cat in the manger. It seems that the baby Jesus was cold and fussing, and Mary asked the manger animals to move in closer to warm him. The manger was simply too small to accomplish that, but a little tabby cat came in and nestled next to the baby, and cosseted Him with purring and warmth. Mary was so grateful; she bestowed her own initial, "M" on the cat's forehead. -excerpt from AboutCats.

In Loving Memory of Rose Abrams 1935-2006 Y
Twelve years ago, Noah, Muffin, and Biscuit, were adopted by Rose Abrams and her loving family, Alissa and Jonathan. She was very creative, loved animals and an avid supporter of Muffin’s. When ‘Katrina’ struck and left many frightened animals homeless, Rose prayed for Hope, the seven-year-old lactating Beagle mother, whose babies were taken from her. Her prayers were answered. Hope now lives upstate NY. Rose radiated with love and joy! She will be missed...

          PeggySue & Calay adopted by Muffin's


Bess, a six week old, starving, flea infested three-legged kitten, with a 103 fever was rescued by Teresa Romano, from Bensonhurst. The kittens right hind leg was dangling and badly infected. Romano brought her to Dr. Sinha's Animal Clinic in Bensonhurst. After examining Bess, Dr. Sinha prescribed Clavamox for the infection. He feels that Bess was born with the shorter leg, and that the entire dangling paw needs to be surgically removed. This beautiful semi-long hair Calico kitty needs medical assistance and a forever home. Teresa called Muffin's for help. Muffin's will be able to subsidize the surgery because of the caring students from P.S. 273 and P.S./IS 206. They participated in the Common Cents Penny Harvest program, collected pennies and made generous contributions to Muffin's.

When Bess was ten weeks old, Muffin's subsidized the four blood tests and shots. We prayed and anxiously waited for the test results. Bess is a healthy, 3.2 pound playful kitty and does not need surgery on her little stumpy. Bess was ready to be adopted. Finding a home for a three-legged kitty is not easy. Norm rescued three legged PeggySue from the basement of our apartment building. She’s accepted Scoots, our 16 year old Maine Coon X cat. She’s a youthful three year old who wants to play. Grandpa Scoots is retired! He does not play! After soul searching and praying, Jude and Norm adopted ten week old Calay AKA Bess as a playmate for PeggySue. Precious Calay is a calm, sweet, funny, lap kitty whose purrs melted our hearts. Scoots and PeggySue are not sure of this little intruder, who is currently in a cage in our living room. PeggySue hides, Scoots walks past the cage, but right now, neither cat is interested in meeting calm Calay. The INTRODUCTION went very well.
Precious Calay is teaching PeggySue how to play. She loves Scoots and plays with his tail. Thank you and God Bless!

               PeggySue gets a mew lease on life

Muffin's adopted three year old PeggySue, a three legged, Charcoal gray, semi-feral kitty who was rescued from the basement in their apartment building.  She is crated now and learning to trust and bond Jude and Norm.  Sixteen year old Scooter, a rescued Maine Coon mix kitty, is the senior resident in their household.  Cautiously he is checking out PeggySue and beginning to make eye-contact.  PeggySue has been vetted, tested, and spayed. We're keeping our whiskers crossed that Scoots and PeggySue will be the new KitKat USA purr team..

Don't shoot ..I'm the cat sitter 
                by  Janice Foti
"As I was getting ready to feed the 10 cats, I heard a loud knocking on the door and someone saying, 'open up, open this door immediately!' So, with one hand holding the cat food can and the other holding a spoon, I ran over to open the door. To my surprise there were six police officers standing there pointing six guns at me! The police officer told me that someone had reported a break-in at this address.  He wouldn't even let me turn around to walk back into the house. I had to back up into the house with my hands up holding the cat food can and spoon while he still had the gun pointing at me! I nervously  told him that I was the cat sitter and showed him all the dishes I had lined up for feeding. I also showed him some identification and the note that my client had left instructing me on how and what to feed the cats. The officers were then convinced that I meant no harm and left." I had diarrhea for the next three days! 
Purrs Tail:  Introduce yourself to the neighbors as the cat sitter.
