A New York City-based kitten rescue, Itty Bitty City Kitties, is defending an adoption policy it publicizes online that excludes “MAGA.” The dispute follows public criticism from PETA, which is calling on the group to abolish the policy.
Itty Bitty City Kitties, based in Rockaway Beach and described as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, says it focuses on orphaned and neonatal kittens, feral cat welfare, and adoptions. Fox News and the New York Post both report that the controversy centers on the rescue’s social media use of the phrase “NO F—ING MAGA” in connection with adoptions.
While both outlets frame the issue as a confrontation between the rescue’s stated policy and PETA’s demand that it be removed, the outlets differ in tone and emphasis. Fox News highlights PETA’s call to abolish the policy, while the New York Post focuses on the rescue’s defense of its approach after the criticism.
