Be The Change Animal Rescue

BTCAR, formerly known as Harlem Animal Rescue is a foster based 501(c)(3) not for profit organization.

New York City is home to tens of thousands of stray cats, and this number continues to rise rapidly. Some of these animals have been abandoned by careless pet owners, while others are born to a life on the streets. No matter what their circumstance, the grim reality is that the majority of strays do not live past the age of three. Every day, they struggle to find access to food, shelter and water. Many others die after being struck by a car, ingesting rat poison or freezing to death during the winter months.

In 2017 a group of neighbors came together in an effort to help feed, vet and fix a local cat colony. Five years later we have rescued, fixed  and homed over a hundred cats and kittens. Unfortunately, they keep on coming. Thank you for watching our videos and supporting the work. It takes ten villages to save one cat.
