Cast Aside To Survive Inc

Kim's organization is fantastic. We adopted the most wonderful kitten that has brought our family so much joy. He is healthy, properly socialized, and plays gently with the kids. Kim and her team do things right from start to finish, medically and socially for these kittens. Thank you C.A.T.S!!

I adopted 4 Wonderful Kittens from Kim's organization and love them so much!!! She has such beautiful Kittens and it's a wonderful organization. Kim's such great person and dose so much rescuing and and saving these wonderful Kittens to give them a better life!!! And she also has wonderful volunteers who help her alslo!!! Love C.A.T.S. is A Great Organization!!!!

I can’t say enough good things about Cast Aside to Survive (CATS)! I’ve adopted two cats from them, and both experiences have been amazing. Kim, who runs the rescue, is so dedicated and makes sure every cat gets the care they need and finds the right home. The TNVR work they do is super important, and it’s clear how much love they put into it. My cats are happy, healthy, and have brought so much joy to my life, all thanks to CATS. If you’re looking to adopt, I highly recommend them!

Cast Aside to Survive was wonderful. I have never owned a cat, but saw a feral cat who looked extremely emaciated so I decided to feed her. A few weeks later she showed up with kittens. I’ve been feeding them for a couple of months but was getting concerned that as they got older they would start to breed and keep multiplying. A friend recommended C.A.T.S. as a possible solution. Although I live in a different county I was able to get a trapping session. They were able to trap 4 felines within a short period of time. Everything was very efficient and friendly. This was the best thing for the cats and me, and I am extremely grateful. Thank you!

If you're looking for a compassionate, community-focused organization to address feral cat overpopulation, look no further than Cast Aside to Survive. This remarkable non-profit provides essential TNVR (Trap, Neuter, Vaccinate, Return) services, making a significant impact on local animal welfare. I had the pleasure of working with Kim for six cats, and their team was professional, empathetic, and dedicated to the cause.

I emailed Cast Aside to Survive not knowing what to expect, as there were feral cats next door in an abandoned property, and in addition, we were located in the New Paltz area, I was afraid that we were outside the travel area, but I shouldn’t have been worried! Kim was responsive, provided clear instructions on what to do next (read those instructions!), and relieved most of the stress I have had in having the feral cats have TNVR. I’m also emotionally close to these cats, so Kim also made me feel confident that they will be well taken care of when trapped.

Cast Aside to Survive mission goes beyond just controlling the cat population—they're committed to ensuring every animal they encounter is treated with care and respect. After caring for them with food and water before, during and after their surgeries, when Kim returned with the cats, she also included two free winter shelters for them! I was very ecstatic to find this out! I love the cats and she has also demonstrated love for them as well.

By supporting Cast Aside to Survive, you're not only helping individual animals but also contributing to a larger movement that benefits the entire community. I highly recommend Cast Aside to Surivive’s services to anyone looking to make a positive difference for feral and stray cats in need.

My husband and I recently adopted our kitten from C.A.T.S. From start to finish, the experience was nothing but positive. Kim's communication was direct and clear, and she was incredibly accommodating despite her busy schedule. Kim is so dedicated to the health and safety of these kittens and it shows the minute you step into the rescue. The kittens are healthy and happy. We committed to adopting our baby in June, but couldn't bring her home right away; not until she was big enough to be spayed. I was so relieved that Kim allowed us to work with Lynne (volunteer and kitty foster mom) to arrange visits with our kitty on the days she was there. Building that bond with our baby each week made her transition when we finally did bring her home in July so much easier. I am so glad I found out about C.A.T.S.. The work they do can be hard and unforgiving, not to mention heartbreaking. But thank goodness they do it. We are forever grateful to Kim and Lynne and C.A.T.S. for saving our baby and bringing her into our lives. They have our support for life.

I found Kim one day while she was out returning bottles for the rescue. She gave her time to me while I asked a million questions so when I had the chance, I started helping with donations. Since then I've gotten to know Kim, helped out where I could, told almost everyone I meet or shared on FB about C.A.T.S., gotten my friend to be a volunteer & have adopted 3 beautiful orange/cream boys.
The work that Kim puts into this rescue is astounding. She traps, cleans up, vaccinates, spays/neuters & returns most of the adult ferals. Any pregnant or just had a litter mommas are kept till the babies are weaned. The kittens are all vaccinated, spayed/neutered & even microchipped before they are adopted out. She makes sure all adopters are vetted by at least 3 people & the landlord if they rent.
She also does many fundraisers including collecting bottles, ink cartridges, sneakers & stuff for her online yard sales, her annual regular yard sale & her annual penny social. This is on top of taking in & caring for all those kittens till they're ready to be adopted out.
Kim is amazing! Check out C.A.T.S. or Cast Aside To Survive on FB. Beautiful pictures of all the kittens & sometimes updates from the new parents. It'll leave you wanting a kitten or 3.

This organization is devoted to the well-being of cats. They're cat saints. I have 2 C.A.T.S. cats. They're fabulous.

So I called Cast Aside to Survive Inc not really understanding the services !
I have had a colony move up to my house from a derelict property that is recently rehabitated with a new owner - a mum chose to have her kittens in a quieter place at my house and it seems she brought all the others with her - there’s no way I was not going to feed a nursing mother or and the kittens -
The problem for me is I’ve had a very high prey driven dog and can not house any of them -
I got the mother to the vet to neuter her and ran lots of tests .
It was about a thousand dollars in total - there is no way I can afford that for 6/7/8 ferile cats .Kim from the C.A.T.S scheduled a couple of times to come - we had to cancel once because the fireworks kept them away for a couple of days -
I followed Kim’s instructions by not feeding the cats the day of or the evening before so it would be easier to trap them
Kim came two nights in a row and trapped three of the cats and had them neutered and returned them a day later -
The second day Kim came it was raining and she sat for a few hours on my property patiently waiting to see if she could get as many as possible - very diligent -
Kim was very thorough in explaining and I am very grateful that we have started to help this awful problem which I found myself in the middle of ! The cats don’t deserve this neglect and after meeting Kim and talking to other rescues I realize how big of a problrm the ferile cat community is-
I am grateful to Kim for dedicating her life to helping solve this problem -

Cast Aside helped me several years ago when I fell upon 30 plus feral cats, they made sure we had them all spayed and neutered and any kittens were taken in by them. They were the only organization that was willing to help me. They went above and beyond. They're determination, generosity and will to help stop the population and care for newborn kittens is absolutely amazing. They are a non-profit organization therefore needing us humans to help these beautiful kitties. Thank you for all you do Cast Aside To Survive!������

Over the years I've adopted cats from various organizations and C.A.T.S. is by far the most well-run. Kim has truly dedicated her life to these cats/kittens and we are delighted with the two that we just adopted from her. When I've adopted from other organizations, it has taken me weeks/months to get the cats healthy. My new furry friends are healthy, well-socialized, and an absolute joy. I will certainly continue to support this organization via donations and tell anyone who is looking to adopt about C.A.T.S.

Cast Aside To Survive is an amazing organization and Kim is a special great caring person to head this nonprofit organization. I live in Sullivan County and I found out about CATS from our local SPCA. I submitted the in take form on line and was contacted within a few days. I was happy that my application was accepted since Kim had to travel from quite a distance from Ulster County. I did wait for a while since there were many previous applicants. We have at least 10-15 feral cats. Kim came up and was able to trap six cats in one day. Took them off to be spayed/neutered. I received photos of each one at pick up time and then details after the procedure was done. Kim returned them back and I’m happy to say that they are all doing great without the threat of reproduction in their future.
We truly need to support this fantastic nonprofit organization.

Great organization! Could not be more supportive! Highly recommended!

CAST was an answer to our prayers. My husband brought home a cat from a job site. Lo and behold, Peanut gave birth to 4 kittens on our dryer. We already had a house full of kitties including some from CAST. When I contacted Kim, she immediately came to our rescue. We were designated as the “foster parents”, and Kim worked her magic with food, supplies, vaccinations, not just for the kittens but for mama Peanut as well. She has a vast amount of kitty knowledge and advice that proved to be an invaluable resource for caring for these feline babies. When the kittens were ready to move on from Peanut, Kim brought them to her CAST facility to provide spaying/neutering services and for adoption. Moreover, she spayed mama Peanut for us! Her true love of animals is evident in the love and care she gave to our little cast aways

Been caring for a community of ferals that made their way to our house. Needless to say this has involved many kittens being born. Working with Kim from C.A.T.S. in Ulster County and just this week we caught 9 of the crew and Kim brought them for spaying/neutering. Everyone returned to our property very happy to be "home". Kim has been wonderful to work with and really shows how much she cares for these beautiful animals. We will continue to work with her until all have been TNRed and will remain ongoing supporters to her program.

I cant say enough about what a great experience it was! At the end of a work day, a hungry, crying, scared abandoned kitten was discovered outside our building in a hole amongst the bushes. The kitten was very distressed. Cast Aside was notified and Kim dropped everything to come to its rescue. She had all the proper equipment. She was so kind, caring and very professional. She really knows her stuff! Before long and without any stress to the animal she gently caringly captured the kitten. She gave us her contact information and updated us of its care and even sent a picture. My co-workers and I could now be at peace knowing he was in good hands receiving the best of care. We are so very pleased and grateful for Kim and her service.

Amazing experience. I was nervous about the mama and her 3 kittens being able to be caught all at once and it couldnt have gone smoother. Very knowledgeable staff and I learned something new every time I spoke with her. Very cool how you they use cameras to see how things are progressing. Staff kept me updated on how surgeries went and my kitties were returned safe and sound and are already back in their routine. I hadn't heard of this agency until a friend told me about it and I will be spreading the word about this wonderful service. Thank you so much!

I want to thank cast aside to survive for everything they do. The volunteers are so dedicated to the cause of preventing unwanted feline pregnancies. I posted them on my Facebook. Please donate to this organization

What an amazing organization. Kim was such a pleasure to work with and I very thankful for her services. With her help I was able to get the neighborhood feral cat fixed, I was shocked to find out that one cat can have 200 kittens in a lifetime and this is why her services are so valuable!

I've been feeding and caring for a colony of barn cats for 4 years and had paid to have 6 of them neutered but I live on Social Security and between inflation and the growing number of mouths to feed, I needed help in getting the last 4 neutered. I contacted Kim and she came and set traps and by the end of the day 3 of the 4 kittens were complaining about their temporary housing. The 4th kitten ended up in the trap later that night after Kim had collected the other 3 and Kim came back early the next morning so that all 4 could undergo surgery at the same time. Later the next afternoon, I was surprised to see one of the kittens at the front door asking to be fed. Kim had returned all 4 kittens freshly neutered, nails trimmed, ears cleaned, checked and treated for fleas and ticks, and with a clean bill of health at no cost to me. The entire colony of 12 cats are now all neutered and happy and content living here at the farm. I can't thank Kim enough for relieving me of the burden of time and money to get these little sweeties neutered.

My bf and I care and manage a cat colony and needed help. C.A.T.S. Were fast efficient and friendly! We truly feel blessed as these two ladies came a long distance to help our colony and were very successful! We still work with them and find a true cat ally in them! I hold their expertise in high regard! They are true warriors and saviors of these precious pearls of fur! They deserve all the accolades and support they canget!

We have a mutual friend with Kim Kelly of Cast Aside to Survive, Inc. We saw all of the cats at the C.A.T.S resort and the kittens were so playful and sweet. We picked out Trinket, a 5.5 mo old female, and Kim had all of her bios and a take home kit with food, toys, etc. She was microchipped and her claws trimmed gently. She got a clean bill of heath from the vet and all of the staff at CATS were great!

I want to express the wonderful experience we had in adopting from C.A.T.S.,my husband and I were looking for siblings, we knew we wanted to kittens. Once we were cleared to adopt we set up an appointment with Kim. We entered the kitten room and saw all the kittens. The first one that stood out was a crazy little black and white one. We were around to sit and interact with the kittens, in just a few minutes a calico cat crawled into my lap,after a few minutes she went into my husbands lap, then sat between us. She made her choice!! As I believe things are meant to be her brother was the crazy boy I first spotted!! You cannot really grasp the full extent that Kim does until you take your babies home. She makes sure they are socialize, good with human touch

The process to adopt a cat in NY was complicated, until I met Kim from Cast Aside To Survive. We were looking to adopt a young, long haired cat. Once Kim approved my application and verified my references the process was so smooth with great communication. Kim accommodated our busy schedule with evening meet ups, and was flexible enough to give the kitten time to socialize before sending him to our home with another cat and a playful dog. Kim’s match with our family was spot on, and has been very supportive throughout the whole process. Thanks for our purring machine!

Kim does what most of us cannot: looks at struggling, frightened cats and kittens in the eyes and gives them a chance for a better life. Her patience, skill and compassion knows no bounds. She shows up and gets the job done when so many of us would just feel helpless and heartbroken. She loves these animals relentlessly... tough love, tender love... and is, without a doubt, bettering this world. If only there were 100 more Kims, feral and homeless cats would be a thing of the past. Kim, you're nothing short of amazing.

Kim does an amazing job with her mission to help save cats. Her love and dedication to this cause is truly one of akind. She is very patient and accommodating with meet and greets. She was amazing teaching my young daughter how to properly hold a kitten and has left a lasting impression on my daughter. Kim matched us with a wonderful kitten who will be coming home soon with. Kim is truly amazing.

I recently adopted 3 kittens from Cast Aside To Survive. I travelled over 2 hours to come to the shelter. I truly appreciate the work that Kim does and her dedication to the kittens. I'm honestly thinking about getting just 1 more for now and there's no place else I would be willing to go.

Cast Aside helped me several years ago with 25+ ferals. To this day they still help and support me. I will always support this organization for all the hard work they do.

Kim and everyone at C.A.T.S do an amazing service with the trapping and neutering of feral cats and rescuing the kittens. We were really impressed with how thoroughly they checked us out before approving our adoption of 2 wonderful siblings that came to us very well socialized. They are the joy of our life and make us laugh and smile every day. When it is time to adopt another cat, we will definitely turn to C.A.T.S.

They really came through when we needed them. Very feral rural male stray, really needed help. Now he will have a better life and the whole neighborhood is better off!
Thanks!

Indeed, C.A.T.S. FAR EXCEEDED our expectations. They came recommended - our expectations were already high.

Kim and C.A.T.S. captured 35 feral cats on the properties of next door neighbors. C.A.T.S. had the cats neutered at their chosen vet, ears marked indicating neutering, and returned all but the mother cat in 1 week. Mother cat returned after nursing her kittens; kittens were homed.

CATS's methodology is smart, efficient and effective: It consists of night cameras which determine how many cats are to be caught; small and safe traps; and morning pick-ups of the cats until all are caught. Within the week, 34 cats were returned and are thriving. (As mentioned above, the 35th, mama cat, was returned later.)

My neighbors had been feeding these cats for years. The population began when folks began dropping off domesticated family cats when they themselves were either moving out of the area or to housing that didn't allow pets.

We hope that our cat population will no longer increase and that our remaining ones will continue their lively feral lives!

I was referred to cast aside to survive by a friend . Although they are located in a different county which is 45 minutes away they came , set up traps, provided the food and blankets and left to go to another location in our county. Kim and Linda told us that if we saw a cat in the trap, cover with the blankets provided, call them and they would return. Within 20 minutes 2 cats were trapped. The following day anoth cat was trapped. Kim and Linda do amazing work to help our communities control the overpopulation of these beautiful creatures. These women are amazing, we thank you Kim and Linda ������������������

CATS just rescued 3 newborn kittens and their Momma Count from our home. We recently moved in and had no idea there were un-spayed/neutered cats on the property. We've been trying to TNVR them and do right by them, but Count has always alluded us. CATS has provided us with tons of helpful advice. (We are very new to caring for cats). They came from over an hour away, set up shop and patiently waited to humanely trap Count with a manually operated trap and then gently scooped up her babies. Amazing! We are so relieved the kittens have a safe place to nurse, grow and find forever homes and that Momma Count with be spayed and come back to us after the babies are weaned.

I was trying to help a sad colony of cats and Kim Kelly provided me with traps, picked up my strays had them fixed and helped me get one friendlier kitten into a shelter. Very giving to the community!

Cast Aside to Survive to Survive helped me take control of an out of control cat population which has been growing for years. Every spring and I would collect kittens from our farm cats, clean them up, take care of them, then adopt!! It became an o going thing. I love kittens but they are time consuming and I didn’t want to keep contributing to the worlds cat population. I heard about Cast Aside to Survive and sent them a message! Kim was great! She let in touch as we moved closer to the “catch” phase. They came later in the evening because that’s the best time to set traps! Time I’m sure she could have spent elsewhere. Her work was a success. Over the next two days we had all but 2 male cats. She gathered them up and returned them a few days later…spayed/ neutered, vaccinated and safe!! They took excellent care of them! Now I can look forward to not taking kittens away from mommies anymore! Thanks Cast Aside to Survive…and Kim for all you do for cats and kittens!!! N

Just wanted to thank C.A.T.S. for all their outstanding work! A friend put me in touch with them to help an elderly neighbor who feeds a large feral colony in her woodsy back yard. Last year they did a TNVR effort but in the fall a few kittens were spotted, so a few weeks ago they came back and did a massive round up! The cats and kittens were all TNVR'ed and my neighbor could not be happier. When first confronted with the problem of unwanted litters, I tried to find a local solution but could not find a practical and financially reasonable one, until Kim and co. at CATS was mentioned to me. It is 100% invaluable service to the community and they deserve all the support they can get! Thank you for helping the CATS!

My name is Janet Levinson. I'm rewriting my post because I wrote too much that was not posted. So In a NUT shell. Kim and Linda just helped me neuter like 14 cats of mine to prevent tons of babies being born. They survive off of donations only but give of themselves daily morning until night. This is their passion in life. I don't know what I would have done if not for their help. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I beg of any big companies, or NY State to help them fund what they do. Its not just about helping the cats but through what they do is helping the enviroment, keeping communities safe(wild animals that prey on cats) and clean and healthy. They do so much good and I urge all to give to them. They deserve so much more and I hope all who reads this will go to their website and read what they do. I cannot fit all that I would like to say, but their website will show you. Thank you Kim and Linda I am beyond grateful to you. Janet Levinson

We adopted our "pandemic kitties" Sly and Selena (formerly Crafty) last year and it was the best decision! CATS is a great nonprofit and we were so fortunate to work with them to add these two new babies to our family!

I had two cats living in my yard. One of them had its ear clipped, but the other had a mangled ear, and it was hard to tell if it needed TNVR. I contacted Kim, who kindly and patiently helped me trap him. She took him off to the vet, who did the deed, and now Buster is very happily a part of my family with his little cat brother, Buddy. The work that Kim is doing is very worthwhile, and I encourage people to support her in her quest in any way they can.

Truly the best. We got our sweet sweet boy here and can’t imagine life without him. Amazing people doing amazing things.

This organization is one of THE BEST I have ever dealt with......They really care about the cats that are left "to cast aside to survive" heartless people that put these poor cats outside when they are no longer of any use to them or are moving and don't want to be bothered with taking them with them etc.....out the door they go to fend for themselves and reproduce...this organization is "johnny on the spot" to come and rescue them. I now have one that I added to my own three rescues that was trapped and neutered, shots, etc. by them and he is no longer "feral" and lets me hold him and give him the affection he so really needed and deserved...that is because of this organization! I can't praise them enough!!

Sue Marie is about as real as you can get in her dedication to saving cats and providing them withgood homes. She lives and breaths to take care of these sweet creatures, sometimes with limited supplies and limited help. She relentlessly works to nurture and get these babies (often feral) to the point where they are lovable, adoptable , forever homed animals. Sue Marie, I applaud your tireless efforts.

I had 2 adults and 4 kittens that were feral and I was unable to capture them. I reached out to many rescue groups in the area and the only one that would help me was "Cast Aside To Survive". These ladies came from over an hour away several times. All six cats were rescued, neutered, spayed and the kittens were put up for adoption. The 2 adults were returned to me and I am caring for them. I could never have saved these cats if it wasn't for Cast Aside to Survive. I thank them from the bottom of my heart for all they do.

We adopted little Teddy (formerly Chazka) from Cast Aside to Survive three weeks ago and we adore her! Kim has real passion for helping feral cats & their kittens to lead better, healthier lives. She is smart, organized, caring and devoted to the work. I am so happy we adopted from this group and would highly recommend others to financially support this wonderful organization in whatever way you can, and also to adopt a kitten (or two) !

I wanna give a big shout out to Cast Aside To Survive!!! What a great rescue group!! A coworker gave me their name and number and told me about what they do. I immediately called and talked to Linda told her my situation and a few days later Kim and Linda came to my place with their traps. I have a feral Orange boy that I feed. He brought the mama and their 3 Orange kittens recently that I didn't know about!! We are able to get the 3 Orange kittens and another young cat and also a possum that I released!! We still have Mamma and dad to get but I know it will happen!! Thank you Kim, Linda and your team for all your hard work, dedication and compassion!! Thank you for giving all the beautiful and wonderful feral cats and kittens a chance for a better life!!

My husband adopted our sweet kitten Reno in December 2019 & I just adopted our sweet kitten Wydah in late July 2020! We cannot say enough great things about Cast Aside to Survive. Kim has an incredibly special gift & connection with kittens & cats. Our experience with her & Linda has been nothing short of amazing!
We highly recommend adopting from them always!

Had a stray hanging around that had kittens. Wasn't sure what to do was told to contact Cast Aside to Survive. I was contacted by Kim and her and her volunteers went into action. They trapped, vaccinated, neutered and the kittens were all adopted. She is passionate about what she does and helps find the homes and cut down on the feral cat population. They are the best a what they do and volunteer all there time.

THE BEST CAT RESCUE AROUND!!! Kim and Linda make it their life work to save hundreds of kittens and cats, domesticate them, and adopt them out to loving homes. Feral adults are spayed, neutered, and released to live free without anymore unneeded litters. We have adopted 2 kittens from Cast Aside, and they are the MOST LOVING, well-adjusted animals I’ve ever known!! Cast Aside deserves special recognition by far!!!

I called and researched for a couple of years to find help for the situation in my neighborhood. Finally a very sympathetic women at the Ulster county SPCA wrote down a name and number and slid it across the counter .I quickly contacted Kim and well she was eager to help she has been so awesome .The out of control kitten population is now under control. She's is a true inspiration . I can't say thank you enough.

I have known Kim for almost 2 years. CATS is an indispensable resource in our region.
Kim and Linda's mission, to rescue and Trap, Neuter, Vaccinate and Return (TNVR) vulnerable community cats, addresses with kindness and expertise an underserved part of our county's animal residents.
They adopt out viable kittens whom they have rescued.
They also offer spay and neuter certificates. That's huge.
May they grow and thrive in a world full of feral cats who depend on the kindness of others.

As I was nearing retirement, and knowing the Nolen's, I kept watch of the kittens looking for forever homes and just fell in love with Figgy! HOWEVER, months away from retirement, the Nolen's agreed to keep him for me. Then brothers appeared on the site!!! Called Lewis and Martin (now Ralph and Obi-Wan Kenobi (OB) these brothers joined Figgy as a threesome in late July filling our home with fun and frolic and love. It is the work that this organization and its volunteers do every year to ensure many feral cat communities have reduced birth rates due to the trap-neuter-vaccinate and release program (TNVR). It also provides forever homes and foster homes for the kittens born to feral cats that these wonderful people manage to capture for this TNVR program. What is truly amazing is the compassion and love the organization demonstrates in each and every feral TNVR cat and the dedication to finding homes for the kittens. I am a lucky lady to have been chosen to take these 3 kittens into my home to love and care for babies who might have otherwise never seen adulthood. Thank you for 1) bringing these treasures to my office to meet me, 2) caring for them until I returned to the US to pick them up, and 3) being the dedicated and caring people you prove to be every day. I simply love these little guys (and Figgy is not so little anymore!!!! Growing, finally, like a weed!!!).

This nonprofit organization is much needed. There are so many feral cats in the county. They multiply fast and before you know it there is an overabundance of feral cats. My story started out with 2 female cats I believe were dropped off and both became pregnant. Before I knew it there were cats every where. I contacted the ASPCA who referred me to Kim Kelly. She reached out quickly and helped me trap this colony of cats. The job they all do requires a lot of dedication, commitment and hard work. They do this on their own time. I am very grateful.

Cast Aside To Survive is a fantasic group. Kim and Linda are more than a dream come true!!!
They are so efficient, knowlegable, dedicated and CONCERNED about the cats. I have been looking for help with the feril cats for a long time. I had almost given up and was worried about all of us, cats, kittens and people in the area. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would.

I absolutely cannot say enough about this rescue/group/saviors. Kim Kelly & Linda are an extraordinary duo who not only work feverishly to help cats on many different levels, but ppl like me, as well. They were SO friendly, SO professional, skilled, very funny & interactive. I've never been so happy, and felt so safe with any other group in this field. I've done many rescues, TNRs, and rehomes throughout my past & had reached out to other "cat rescuers" during that time...I never felt so relaxed as I have with Kim these last 2 days. She understood & didn't judge...I could go on & on, and I can't recommend them any stronger. Just an amazing human being.
Thank you so much!!!������������

I had noticed a beautiful black young cat coming around my property...of course I put some food out for him and went twice to get a have-a-heart trap from two different shelters with no luck trapping him. I didn't want him to make a bunch of kittens so someone from the Kingston shelter put me in touch with Kim Kelly...we e-mailed each other several times and she came by with her trap and it took her no time to catch this beautiful cat, neuter him, tip his ear, de-flea him and gave him a rabies shot, she also trapped one from the KOA campground next door to me, and that one was not feral so she place him at the Kingston shelter to find a forever home. The black cat she took care of for me I named Milo and continue to feed him twice a day. I have four rescued cats of my own, a bunny named Clover and two rescued turtles~ I can't say enough good things about Kim and her organization...I want to help in some way, and said I could help them out with "fund-raisers" I really don't know what this town would do without Kim!

Reached out to Kim, with a feral cat issue in the community. She never asked why someone else wasn't taking care of it, or complained. She and her team just responded quickly and did their work with super efficiency. It amazed me that a nasty and tough job could be completed so quickly and with so little "drama". Kim just got it done. She's a major contributor.

Cast Aside To Survive is a relatively new organization in the Hudson Valley area. In this short time they've shown their commitment to helping with cat rescues, and improving the outlook for the feral cat population in the area. They operate a hands on TNVR program and work directly with the community in many ways to help with feral cats. They've earned 5 stars through their accomplishments.

I am a volunteer and assist with web related tasks.

I volunteered for many years to help in TNR programs. It takes commitment and year round hard work. Members of Cast Aside to Survive are everywhere in our County. Not just trapping and spaying, but outreach to educate and managing feral colonies. Love them.
