FIREWORKS and their negative effect

One issue that continues to be overlooked is that of fireworks and how they negatively affect dogs, cats, birds, other wildlife, people with PTSD, and others who simply don’t like the sudden, intense noise of “explosions,” which might be mistaken for something else. This seems like something the Caucus should and can do something about.

It’s one thing to ask Macy’s, a private company, to stop their July 4th fireworks – it is quite another – and much easier - to have the City Council and Parks Department inform the Philharmonic that a new policy decrees that fireworks will no longer be allowed in City parks because it is too harmful to wildlife, pets, people, and the environment. The free concerts are planned for June in four city parks to be followed by fireworks – Central Park, Prospect Park, Van Cortlandt Park, and Cunningham Park.

STOP THE FIREWORKS IN NYC'S PUBLIC PARKS surely this is something the new Animal Welfare Caucus can do

Dr Hadassah had a delightful meeting with her potential new family!!! She was so brave and so excited to meet new people! This is huge progress from the little dog who hid from people.
We take all adoptions step by step, and because Hadassah has been with us for a bit, we want to make sure her going to her forever home feels safe and happy. She really liked S and R and pretty sure they liked her too..:. Hard not to fall in love at first sight….

The next steps will be taking her out to LI to a HOUSE with a YARD and a SISTER later this week so she can sniff it out and she and Daisy can have their meet and greet.
It’s gonna be a looooot of cute dog love!!
Rescue has sooo many elements and is such a ginormous responsibility. The animals we take in are individuals with their own needs, interests and concerns. Our job is to find best fit for everyone involved.

I’m so proud of her! She has come such a long way from the terrified and filthy ball of poo and p*e I met back in September.

More updates to come!

Happy Tails CAM UPDATE:
In 2024,
a kind neighbor took it upon herself to feed a stray cat on her Harlem street. It was the first stroke of luck for Cam, a scared and traumatized tuxedo.

The feeder was moving and was in agony overwhat many colony caretakers face as life changes happen. What to do for your kitties if you move??!!!!

After months of coordinating, Cam got lucky again when rescued him right as he was losing his feeder!!

Though he was unsure and fearful, the rescuer sensed that all Cam needed was time to decompress and learn that he was safe.

Once he settled in and no had to fight to survive, he became the sweetest, most loving kitty.

For over a YEAR, he waited patiently for his forever home, and finally last fall, it came!!!

adopted him and introduced him to his new brother, Percy.
Percy was a stray and had lost both ears to cancer.

Percy’s mama was ready to expand the family and fell head over heels for our gentle, handsome boy but wasn’t quite sure if Percy was ready…

Turns out, it was a purrfect match!

With a few months and lots of patient love, Cam and Percy have become buddies and love to watch “kitty TV” out their window. 

Helping families come together is our greatest joy!!

Have the best life boys!
You are so loved!!!
