NYC kitten rescue defends ‘NO ----ING MAGA’ adoption policy as PETA calls for it to be abolished
Fox News ^ | September 23, 2026 | Jasmine Baehr

After posting an explicit warning that MAGA supporters, conservatives and apolitical applicants need not apply, a New York City kitten rescue is defending its screening process against mounting criticism, including from PETA, which called on the group to scrap the ideological ban.

"Homeless animals don’t care which side of abortion you are on or whether you believe in global warming or support Palestine or Israel or if you don’t vote at all, ever. They care if you love them and will give them a good home," PETA founder Ingrid Newkirk told Fox News Digital.

"We hope this policy, which is humancentric, is reconsidered and abolished."

....

In a social media post reviewed by Fox News Digital, the rescue laid out a series of political positions it said could disqualify prospective adopters.

"MAGA? Nope."

"Conservative? Nope."

"‘I’m not political’? Nice loophole. Still nope."

.....

On Sept. 10, Itty Bitty City Kitties posted an image of a kitten carrying the words, "Kittens. Don’t. Mourn. Nazis."

"For absolutely no reason at all on this day one year later..." text on the image stated.

"Just a little kitten making sure we all know where we stand," the accompanying caption read, followed by hashtags including "#kitten," "#cat," "#politics" and "#iykyk."

While the post did not name late conservative activist Charlie Kirk, it was published exactly one year after his assassination at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10, 2025.

They would rather make sausage than vote for Trump.

It's not just a question of political indoctrination to a point of view.
It's psychological conditioning to have panic attacks about the existence of opposition.

Peaceful coexistence has been taken off the table.

There is no upper limit to the repulsiveness of the left.

There is no bottom to the depth that the left will sink in order to bring themselves closer to their beloved excrement.

Their dream is explore the ‘Ultimate Awfulness’ and drench themselves in the sludge.

Sick the Daleks on them...”Exterminate, exterminate”.

>>Their 501-c3 is going to be rescinded

Should be. Does the IRS have a site to report violations of tax status? EIN 85-4284614, according to https://www.roundpaper.com/

The left pledges to kill kittens to spite MAGA. Noted.

Democrats are often foul-mouthed

Remember Democrat Chuck Schumer on Illegal Invaders?

Democrat James Carville? Carville Perpetually so

AI Overview:

The phrase “Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness” is found in Romans 3:14 on Bible Gateway.

That’s because they’re actually demons sent from hell itself.

‘Will social credit scores eventually become common in America, even for something seemingly nonpolitical, such as adopting a pet?’

It’s only a matter of time before we get to that point.

The leftist insanity only ratchets up. They are so tightly wound that I believe they would toss the kittens they “rescued” into a wood chipper, just to virtue signal their woke bonafides.

PETA is engaging in wishful thinking - the crazies have bottomless wells of hatred in their effing black souls... or they wouldn't have come up with these hate policy in the first place.

Maybe the crazies think we want to be friends with them and that taking a pet in might cause hard feelings to soften. That's not going to happen. After all these years of their hatred we know who they really are and we're not going to forget.

I didn’t read the whole article and just skimmed the comments, but it seems like by their standards, they ought to screen out democrats, liberals, socialists, etc., not MAGA, conservatives and the apolitical.

“We now live in a world where the Left has gone so far over the edge...”


This is the sort of thing I find so troubling. Celebration of assassination and attempted assassinations, abortion, murder of children by their ‘birthing person’, the embrace of socialism/communism...the list goes on and these beliefs are held by a significant percentage of the population. I just don’t see how this gets fixed.

Yeah, but they stayed true to their leftist roots by coining and employing the word “humancentric” in their statement

Imagine if somebody opened a pro-life customers only restaurant. Or pro-ICE, or Pro 2nd amendment...

........

No one would dare because the left would destroy it and hurt or kill the owners.

They is how you know who is really in power here.

And Red, you are all over this issue. It says in the article:

“They care if you love them...”

Cats don’t care if you love them. They only want what they want and whoever supplies it is used by them. Cats are independent animals that care about themselves. They go where they want and do what they want until they are restrained from it. And if they want it bad enough, they will go somewhere else to get it. That’s just cats.
