RIP George Politis, Bay Ridge’s Cat Protector
I was sad to hear the news that George Politis, co-founder of Itty Bitty Cat Rescue in Bay Ridge died this morning.
George’s memorial will be held on June 9th from 10 am – 1pm at Clavin Funeral Home.
George trapped cats for TNR in South Brooklyn for many years. TNR stands for trap, neuter and release. A group of good people in Bay Ridge try to keep the community cats population under control by neutering them.
George even took the cats with felv.
George took care of community cats that no one was taking care of, and he helped these cats find homes.
I imagine George was welcomed at Heaven’s gate by all the cats he was kind to and all the cats he rescued.
There are eight cats at the Itty Bitty Cat Rescue that need fosters or to be adopted. You can see them here.
RIP George, South Brooklyn’s Cat Protector.
A Go Fund Me was set up – see here.

So sad. I adopted my two cats, who are brothers, from George. He was such a kind and caring person. He brought my wife and me so much happiness through the two cats we adopted from him.
Rest in Peace, George!

I texted George a few times recently to get together, having no idea that he passed away. Very sad news indeed as he dedicated his time to helping animals in need. I adopted my 2 cats who are brothers, Seamus and Finnbar from him in 2016. He was a great man. Thanks George. RIP. You aren’t forgotten.
