Every cat deserves the good life.
Help us keep more pets with their families by expanding access to veterinary care.
We’re tackling the problem at the root.
Flatbush Cats is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit working to keep more pets with their families by expanding access to veterinary care.
We built Flatbush Vet, a high-volume nonprofit clinic serving low-income pet owners and rescue/TNR volunteers across Brooklyn. We’re helping families access essential care, supporting community cats, and reducing pressure on overcrowded shelters.

Access to care is how we get there.

Underfoot is a new podcast about the hidden cat crisis in NYC and what we can do to solve it. In this podcast, we go beyond rescue stories to reveal the systems that created this problem in the first place, and ask the question: What would it take to build a city where no cat is left behind?
