Newborn kittens in the Bronx shouldn't face the cold alone.
Bottle & Blanket Kitten Project is a fictional Bronx nonprofit helping orphaned, newborn kittens too young to survive on their own. We coordinate rescue intake, connect finders with resources, and recruit volunteers to provide 24/7 bottle-feeding care.

Cold or distressed kitten right now?
Call immediately if the kitten is in immediate danger.
First, take a breath.
Let's triage together. Answer these questions to understand the kittens' needs and how we can help.
❓ Triage Checklist
- 🌡️
Are they warm to the touch?
Hypothermia is life-threatening. Newborns need constant warmth.
- 🐱
Is there a mother cat nearby?
Has she been coming and going? Never separate healthy litters from their mom.
- 👀
What's their rough age?
Eyes open/closed? Umbilical cord present? Wobbly or walking?
- ⚠️
Critical: Healthy mom = leave them
If a mother cat is present and feeding them, let them stay together. Intervene only if they're truly orphaned.
Every kitten matters.
Newborns are fragile and need experienced care. Our network of dedicated fosters provides warmth, nutrition, and medical support to orphaned kittens.

About Bottle & Blanket
Our Story
Bottle & Blanket Kitten Project began one winter when a Bronx neighbor found a box of newborn kittens abandoned behind a building. With no mother in sight and temperature dropping below freezing, she knew she had to act.
Today, we've grown into a small network of dedicated volunteers and foster homes, united by the belief that every kitten deserves warmth, care, and a fighting chance at life.
Our Mission
We rescue orphaned, newborn kittens too young to survive alone. We coordinate emergency intake, connect finders with resources, and recruit compassionate volunteers to provide 24/7 bottle-feeding care until kittens are ready for adoption.
This is a fictional nonprofit created for demonstration purposes. All kittens, fosters, and staff are fictional and do not represent any real NYC rescue organization.
