NORTHPORT, NY — Mimi and her one-and-only child, her son Stormy, are this week’s featured pets from the Northport Cat Rescue Association.

Mimi is estimated to have been born in March 2024. Stormy was born nearly a year later, on March 27, 2025.

Mimi was found wandering the streets of Queens, bravely approaching people and crying out for food — and for help. A young woman noticed her and brought her to safety, reaching out to the Northport Cat Rescue Association when it became clear Mimi needed assistance. Once in rescue, it was discovered that Mimi was pregnant.

She was placed into a warm, loving foster home, where she gave birth to her one and only kitten, Stormy — an adorable, long-haired baby boy. Cats rarely have just a single kitten, making Stormy especially unique. Throughout it all, Mimi proved to be a devoted and protective mother, while still allowing her foster family to lovingly help care for both her and her baby.

As time has gone on, their bond has only grown stronger.

Stormy has blossomed into a sweet, affectionate kitten who enjoys being held, petted, and showered with attention by everyone he meets. Mimi is also affectionate, though more selective, and prefers a calm environment. She would do best as the only cat in the home, alongside her beloved son.

Both Mimi and Stormy get along well with dogs, and Stormy is often found happily playing with the foster family’s dog.

The rescue hopes Mimi and Stormy can find their forever home directly from foster care — and ideally, together. Mimi enjoys being near her people and often watches over Stormy from a distance, while Stormy actively seeks out cuddles, companionship, and constant affection.

Mimi and Stormy are spayed and neutered, fully vaccinated, litter-box trained, microchipped, and have tested negative for FIV and FeLV.

Those interested in meeting Mimi and Stormy, or any of the Northport Cat Rescue Association’s adoptable cats and kittens, can visit the rescue’s website to complete an adoption application, call 631-606-2631, or email info@northportcatrescue.org.
