"Bodega cats are royalty in New York City," but it's not always an easy life (YT 4:47). Flatbush Cats is a nonprofit that gives non-judgmental help where people care for neighborhood cats but cannot afford to have them treated. Chill music and explanatory videos help them raise money for their own spay-neuter clinic. They patiently foster spicy kittens, tough old boys, and girls in trouble, along with helping cats who got themselves stuck. [cw: animal injuries]
