It began with "just a handful of cats...."
In July and August 2010, a group of concerned people got together by chance to help with a hoarding situation on Orange Street in Albany, New York. Being told there was just “a handful of cats,” the group entered a condemned building, slated to be demolished, to find what turned out to be 88 cats – sick, pregnant, and newly-born.
Through a lot of hard work those 88 cats found homes. The group of new and old friends decided to keep rescuing and finding homes for cats and kittens in the greater Capital Region of New York.
Orange Street Cats was incorporated in 2011 and designated a 501(c)3 not-for profit organization effective November 30, 2011.

Happy Cats
OSC Today
OSC continues to help cats without a human advocate. We take senior cats who find themselves homeless after their human can no longer care for them; orphaned kittens requiring intense care; injured cats needing surgery; and cats with FIV and FeLV. In short, those cats few other rescues will assist. We believe that we should focus on the cat in front of us. That means we often go to great lengths to give a cat a chance at happily ever after.
Our cats and kittens live with foster families until we can help them get adopted into forever homes no matter how long it takes.
All our cats and kittens are tested, up-to- date on their vaccinations, spayed or neutered and microchipped before we adopt them to their new families.
Orange Street Cats truly cares for those in need, providing hope and love to vulnerable felines.

I adopted a senior cat from Orange Street Cats, and it has changed my life forever.
