CATS & CANDY CORN ADOPTION EVENT AT THE BRISTAL ASSISTED LIVING IN WESTBURY RETURNS ON 10/26
Please join us for a unique adoption event at The Bristal Assisted Living in Westbury located at 117 Post Avenue on Saturday, October 26 from 12 to 3 p.m.
This Halloween-themed event will highlight our Seniors for Seniors program which reduces barriers to pet adoption for seniors by continuing to pay all reasonable medical expenses for the cat and allowing senior cats to return to the Ladew Cat Sanctuary if their adopter becomes unable to care for them.
The Bristal will be decorated for Halloween and will provide cat cupcakes and Halloween themed finger-food. Staff and volunteers of the Ladew Cat Sanctuary will be on hand to discuss our Seniors for Seniors Program and to introduce attendees to cats of all ages who are available for adoption. The event is free and open to the public, although RSVP's are encouraged to info@theladewcatsanctuary.org.
Benefits of pet companionship for seniors include improved physical and mental health, improved quality of life, and longer lifespan. In recognition of this:
The Bristal Senior Living Community allows residents to have cats and small dogs (conditions apply) and
The Ladew Foundation eliminates the two major barriers to seniors adopting pets -- the potential cost of medical care for the cat and worry about what if something happens to the adopter -- through its Seniors for Seniors Program.
Hope to see you there!

We are pleased to present our updated look! Beginning in summer 2021, we hired the Square Paws design team and Gerwald Construction to make PHLF even better for the cats and kittens in our care. With the installation of custom sustainable cat trees and a brand new 150 foot indoor run, the cats will have more to explore and the surfaces will be easier for our staff to clean.

Mission Statement
Reducing feline suffering by providing housing for homeless cats rescued from municipal shelters, sterilizing those stray and feral cats to reduce overpopulation and by providing necessary medical treatment.
The house in Oyster Bay is a closed–admission sanctuary for homeless cats that are rescued primarily from Animal Care and Control and Long Island municipal shelters. It features outdoor enclosed runs and offers a home–like atmosphere where the cats live uncaged (unless illness necessitates temporary caging). Caretakers live on the premises to accommodate daily care for the cats. Our on-site staff veterinarian checks each cat on a regular basis and provides any medical treatment necessary. All cats are vaccinated, tested for FELV/FIV, sterilized and microchipped. New cats are quarantined for 30 days prior to introduction to the resident cats. Due to our small size, we are unable to accept cats from the public. When space allows, we rescue and provide medical care for cats slated for euthanasia from overcrowded city shelters. The New Hope Fund was started through a generous donation from Sandra Atlas Bass and has been renamed to the Sandra Atlas Bass New Hope Fund.
Our Seniors for Seniors Program was designed to help senior cats find homes while relieving senior adopters of the financial burden of adopting a senior cat.
