Every
6.5 seconds a shelter animal is killed.
Spay & Neuter is the humane solution!
*EARLY
SPAY/NEUTER*
Spaying/neutering your
cat or dog at 16 weeks will help you save $100-$150 and avoid
a more complicated surgery. It will also result in a
lower dose of medicines given after surgery because your pet
will weigh less. For more information on the health/behavioral
benefits of EARLY
SPAY/NEUTER please click

We receive at least 10 calls every
day regarding cats and kittens who need help,
Animals that are found outside, being born under a bush, in a
shed, in a garage, under a car, under a deck...everywhere you
can imagine. Even if we had all the money in the world, there
are not enough homes to provide these animals with a safe and
loving forever home. Therefore, unless we, as a society of
Humane compassionate animal loving people act, nothing will
change and it will continue with the cats and kittens
suffering. We also suffer, knowing there is nothing that can
be done. We will always have stray cats but we can eliminate
some of the suffering by taking action. NYC has the best Trap Neuter
Return program in the country. There are always workshops
given to learn how to improve the lives of the FERAL cat.
If we "catch the horse before he leaves the barn" We can make
a change.There are resources at our fingertips to
do this. Neighborhood
Cats.org and NYCferalcat.org are wonderful
referrals. All you have to do is the research and then take
action. There are many animal lovers involved in this
movement, but not nearly enough. Unfortunately P.L.U.T.O.
Rescue is inundated and overwhelmed with kittens and cats. We
can only do so much. Please, please help these poor
animals. Take advantage of what is being offered for the
ferals. Everyday when I have to deny an animal it breaks my
heart. I know people get frustrated but so do I. It sickens me
to hear of all the beautiful babies that are exposed to this
cruel world. There are continuous listings of the TNR
workshops offered in Staten Island. You can also take
the course online. Even if you work towards one cat being
sterilized that is one tremendous feat. One cat produces
5, then that offspring produce 5 and on and on. It is with a
heavy heart that I sit and put my thoughts to paper. I just
don't know what else to do.

abandoned, sick and unwanted animals. To promote
humane education designed to increase awareness,
compassion and responsible pet ownership. An

Say hello to
Toto, a 7 year old male pure bred Affenpinscher. He was
surrendered by his owner who could no longer care for
him. He is currently being fostered by one of
our volunteers. Despite being diabetic and having a
cataract in his left eye, Toto is a very happy dog. He
is very friendly, loves to go for long walks and gets
along great with other dogs. He is housebroken, up
to date with all vaccinations and microchipped. All
Toto needs now is a loving permanent home. Toto can
be seen Saturday's from 12 noon to 3PM at PETCO,
2752 Veterans Road West in the Charleston Shopping Center next to
Home Depot.
While he is in foster
care, donations to help ease the expense of
Toto's insulin injections are greatly
appreciated.

of foster homes for dogs that we pull
from shelters. A loving home where they can

them up for adoption. We will provide food and
medical care. Please open your heart and your home
to help save a life. They need you!
Please click here to download a dog
foster application. You can bring the completed
application to our Adoption Day at the Staten

There has been a huge surge
in the number of cats available for
adoption. At times P.L.U.T.O.
Rescue has had more than a dozen cats
in our care. The increase in cats has
created a "bottleneck" in finding them loving
owners and prevents us from rescuing additonal
homeless felines. Please spread the word
about the cats in our care. We need to get them
adopted more quickly. It is very hard for them
not having a family of their own. Sometimes they
get very depressed and withdrawn. We
urgently need your help with the cost incurred
to care for our cats until we can find them
forever homes. Please make your donation for the care of the cats at
our rescue
via PayPal by clicking the donate button
below. You can also send your check or money
order payable to P.L.U.T.O. Rescue PO Box 140889
Staten Island, NY 10314. Thank you for your
support!

There have been internet
e-mails circulating that Cocoa Bean Mulch can be
lethal if ingested by dogs. Several e-mail rumor
and hoax sites dispute this. The ASPCA advises
that although death is very unlikely, pet owners
should avoid the use of Cocoa Bean mulch in
landscaping around dogs with indiscriminate
eating habits. Please click here to read the ASPCA's Cocoa
Mulch Report.

 When
the cats of P.L.U.T.O. Rescue needed a new place
to stay while awaiting their forever homes,
Rena Cella proprietor of Merry Mutts Play &
Stay, a doggie day care in Travis, Staten
Island offered us a space to utilize. The
area she offered needed a new wall with
windows and a door erected and painted. We also
needed to purchase two banks of cages to
house the cats, plus storage cabinets and
supplies to care for them. The cost of the
project was close to $7,000. We sent out an
urgent plea via this website and flyers. We
received a tremendous response taking in close
to $5,000 enabling us to open our new cat
adoption room recently dedicated in memory of
Anita Decker
. Click here to
watch a video. A special thanks to those
who donated in memory of or in honor of
their beloved pets or loved ones. As
promised the names appear in our
newsletter. Please spread the word about
the beautiful cats in our care.
Some have been waiting months for their forever
homes. Please note: Our Anita
Jane Decker Memorial Cat Adoption Room is
now located at Merry Mutts Play &
Stay's new facility located at 654A Sharrotts
Road Staten Island, NY 10309.
