About
Founded in 2017, Little Wanderers is a 501(c)(3) organization committed to saving cats from the five boroughs of New York City. We are an all-volunteer, non-profit rescue group that adopts out roughly 75 - 100 animals per month.
Unlike other organizations, Little Wanderers has made it our mission to target the cats who would otherwise be overlooked—the severely injured, the ignored, the neglected—with an emphasis on the most underserved areas of NYC (the Bronx, Harlem, and Northern Manhattan).
Typically, these cats remain invisible to the world; but fortunately, we have a team of amazing volunteers with a passion for locating and rescuing these little sweethearts. Our organization then works with a network of veterinarians and foster families to nurse these once-neglected souls back to good health and then find them a loving, forever home.
In addition to helping those in need find their forever homes, we also manage over 400 feral colony cats to ensure the ongoing health and safety of those animals are met, along with the proper TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return) care is provided to help stop the ongoing overpopulation issues.
As a small volunteer group, we are constantly overwhelmed by the work that needs to be done but seeing how drastically these cats’ lives are improved (and how much joy they bring to those who adopt them) makes all the hard work more than worth it.
