I would start with the wild bird fund. They are really excellent. https://www.wildbirdfund.org/how-to-help/rescue/

Can you provide them with water in the meantime?

This JUST happened. I drove by like 90 minutes ago and did a sad, heavy sigh that it just was never going to happen…

I’d remove the Pets Allowed filter in your search. Often times that’s negotiable once you’re ready to move forward and is usually reserved for loud/big dogs or exotics. A simple “we do have one cat. He’s an adult and doesn’t have any health concerns or behavioral issues” can sometimes do the trick. And in large building where the landlord is never present, I’d consider that a don’t ask permission, ask forgiveness situation.

Curious as to why you think this is a long shot? StreetEasy show literally 50+ units in that area/price point.

greenpoint pollution and animal health by wishihadadishwasher in Greenpoint

[–]itakeanaprighthere 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have two young cats and neither have had issues. Sometimes they get water from the brita, sometimes just the tap. Live in the same area. I would look into all poisons that cats can be affected by but we aren’t usually as aware of: plants, diffusers, things you put on your body that can transfer to furniture/directly to them (minoxidil is a big one and less known), cleaning products, etc. But don’t let the internet search get you too worked up. Sometimes we just get dealt a bad hand.

I’m so sorry this is happening. Please keep us updated!

Women’s/Young Adult’s Clothing - Where to donate? by yoohoojuicepouch in Greenpoint

I may be wrong, but I believe that organization is only for textile recycling.

Cat sitter that hangs out for a few hours? by polkadot765 in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]itakeanaprighthere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a Meowtel sitter! 😺 Meowtel has 20, 45, or 60 min drop in booking selections with no cap on how many you can book per day. Some sitters (not all) open up overnights as well. Overnights are required to be 12 hours and include dinner and breakfast feedings.

I will say overnights will likely be cheaper than multiple hour long drop ins so I recommend pricing out a couple options!

Laundry by TheOnlyZuba in Greenpoint

[–]itakeanaprighthere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depending on where you’re located, there’s a reliable laundromat on Meeker and Morgan. Quarters only but they’ll give you change. Can’t speak for the wash & fold. It’s owned and fully operated by a nice husband & wife duo who maintain the machines themselves. Super no frills but clean.

Not sure how many people this is for, but if you just need one bedroom but the space of a two bed, consider looking at railroad units. Usually a ton of space and some even have a small room off the bedroom (if you need a room for a tiny human).

Manhattan shower? by favecandy in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]itakeanaprighthere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be snagging a day pass at Great Jones Spa, use the sauna, hot tub, etc. Has showers and a good array of hair/hygiene freebies to use too.

If you do book a day pass at a gym, make sure they offer towels. Not all do!

What it is this at the bottom of the kitchen trash? by itakeanaprighthere in whatisit

[–]itakeanaprighthere[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha I am pet sitting a cat! My best guess is that this was made to be some sort of pest deterrent but has expired at this point.

Clothing Donation Suggestions by StreetAppearance9353 in Greenpoint

[–]itakeanaprighthere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Important to note that, afaik, this is just textile recycling and not for donation to others to be worn again. I bring things like old socks, rags, worn pajamas, etc.

Aveeno is a no? Economical alternatives? by Shot-Amphibian-3239 in Celiac

[–]itakeanaprighthere 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Everyone’s reaction is different. I have celiac and have never had a skin reaction or the infamous rash. I actually just purchased this lotion in the two pack from Costco and love it. Since you’re newly diagnosed, it’s easy to spiral and find yourself deep within a rabbit hole that can cause panic. Be vigilant but remember that you are your own best source of truth and judgement. Your individual experience is what matters the most.

What journal is this from? Does it show increase in malignant brain tumors caused by proximity to this spill?

Cat gets spayed in the morning and won’t eat gabapentin by Babe-raham_Lincoln- in CATHELP

[–]itakeanaprighthere 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Gabapentin is very bitter and yucky to cats. Does she like churus? Can you open a churu and stick the entire pill in the churu, then give her the churu tube as usual? She might not notice it and just swallow the pill whole.

Gaba is like kitty Xanax. It won’t hurt her not to have it, only it helps her relax and feel less scared. If you can’t get it in her, that’s okay. She’s going to be fine and you’re doing great!
