Mission Statement
In the bustling streets of NYC, a vast number of homeless cats roam unnoticed. LICFF is dedicated to making a meaningful impact by actively reducing its population. Through our compassionate efforts, we trap, neuter, and return these cats, providing essential care along the way. Additionally, we rescue cats in distress and assist in finding loving homes for those who are socialized. Our commitment extends beyond rescue work as we strive to educate the public, fostering a more inclusive and compassionate community for our feline companions in Long Island City and its surroundings.
Description
We are a united group of Long Island City residents who have come together out of shared concern for the well-being of the cats within our community. While we all have our regular "day jobs," we dedicate a significant portion of our free time engaging in TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return) initiatives, rescuing cats in need, and providing care for cat colonies. Our team of devoted volunteers is bound by a common thread: an immense love and profound respect for these incredible creatures.
The initial members who established LICFF made an intriguing revelation: they were all independently providing sustenance to the same community cats, albeit at different times. Fate intervened in 2017 when they unexpectedly crossed paths and recognized the significance of pooling their resources. They promptly joined forces, coordinating their efforts and laying the foundation for a more organized approach. This collaboration marked the transformative moment that propelled the group's growth into a fully-fledged, registered 501(c)3 organization. Over time, the organization attracted additional volunteers and trained rescuers, establishing a robust network of individuals who readily respond to community requests for feline-related assistance.
