Our Mission

Tender Loving Cats, Inc. is an all-volunteer, not-for-profit 501(c)(3), no-kill feline rescue, concentrating on reducing Long Island's community cat population through Trap-Neuter-Return and the rehabilitation of homeless cats and kittens for adoption. Tender Loving Cats, Inc. rescues the mistreated, saves the injured and loves the abandoned.

​All cats and kittens adopted from Tender Loving Cats, Inc. are spayed/neutered prior to adoption as a part of our mission to reduce the numbers of homeless cats and kittens on Long Island.
In 2017 Tender Loving Cats, Inc took in 143 cat/kitten(s) into our program and adopted out 102 of those cats & kittens that were all rescued from the streets of Long Island, NY. All of our cat/kitten(s) are tested for FIV/FeLV, fully vaccinated up to and including rabies, fully de-wormed, spayed/neutered & microchipped. This would not have been possible without YOU (our supporters, donors & volunteers) or without the local veterinarians who support our mission. We have come so far in such a short time because of their dedication to saving the lives of homeless cats & kittens on Long Island. Thank You to Dr. Jason Mansfield & Staff at South Shore Animal Hospital, Dr. Alison Rhein, Dr. Suzanne Ravitz, Dr. Lindsay Whisher and the entire staff at Dix Hills Animal Hospital & the incredible Dr. John Berger, Tina Berger & staff at Long Island Spay & Neuter. These Veterinarians have been instrumental in the success of Tender Loving Cats, Inc. Just take a look at some of the faces of the 102 cats & kittens that found homes in 2017.

With All My Love & Sincere Gratitude,
