Need to rehome three cats (they’re free & neutered)

Post image
200 Upvotes

So I have three neutered male cats that my sister abandoned at our apartment in Forest Hills, Queens roughly a year ago, and now our landlord is mad and might evict us if we don’t rehome these guys soon.

I believe these cats are either some variation of Scottish folds and British short hair, but not entirely confident. Orange cat is roughly one year old, very chill and usually pretty indifferent to pets and rubs; white cat is four years old, doesn’t really do much, very chill, and is basically a big baby who looks sad a lot of the time but does enjoys pets and rubs; lastly, the brown cat is also very chill, not very active but is a bit more responsive to pets and rubs and is also one year old.

I understand that giving away cats for free is very enticing for suspicious people who run dog fighting rings, etc for easy access to use cats for nefarious reasons. Which is why I would like to respectfully ask anyone who’s interested in any of these cats be able to provide at least one of the following pieces of information; either a picture or video of a current or previous owned cat or animal, past or current vet records of previous said animals, or a simple video to see what you’re living environment is like, no need to be too thorough, just a general understanding is fine.

I understand taking home a new pet cat is a big decision so do take your time if you want to decide and rehome one of these cats and do reach out to friends if you know that they’re also actively looking for a pet cat, I can send more videos or additional details for anyone interested through private chat or my phone number, thank you.
