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 rehabilitation of homeless cats and kittens for adoption. 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. Tender Loving Cats, Inc. rescues the mistreated, saves the injured and loves the abandoned.

Petco Love (formerly Petco Foundation) grants Tender Loving Cats, Inc. $3,500 to support our lifesaving efforts in April 2023

Tender Loving Cats, Inc. (TLC) is proud to announce that we have received a lifesaving $3,500 grant from Petco Love. We would like to thank Petco Love for investing $3,500 in our grass roots, foster-based and all-volunteer run organization. In 2022, we rescued. saved, loved and spayed/neutered over 1000 cats & kittens from the streets of Long Island, NY many of those cats & kittens needing extensive lifesaving medical treatment. Our goal, as always, is to meet or exceed that in 2023! We could not attempt to attain this goal without the generosity of the public who made this grant possible by donating to Petco Love.
