Adopt

Mickey was found in the streets of Kathmandu. When he was found, he seemed to have been tortured and his condition made it seem very unlikely that he would survive. He was found with the paw missing on one of his front legs and with a deep cut across his belly that left his entrails exposed. One cannot imagine who could’ve done such a thing to a poor cat. As soon as Mickey was found, he was taken to a vet. As his leg (with the missing paw) seemed to be getting infected, the entire leg was amputated to ensure that the infection would not spread further. The cut on his belly was stitched together as well. Following this harrowing surgery, he was fostered by Shreejana in Kathmandu for a year. During this time, many attempts were made to find an adopter for him in Kathmandu but with no avail. Consequently, he was brought to New York in February 2019. He is currently at our shelter. Mickey is an extremely lovable cat. But given his traumatic past, he takes some time to open up. Once he does, he loves belly rubs. He also likes to play with other cats, but he is easily intimidated by bully cats. He is not comfortable with men, so we think he would be best suited to an all-female household. He needs a calm, low-stress environment. In Nepal, he was around children and dogs, so he might adjust to a home with children, dogs, or cats who are not bullies.

Anita is a kitten at heart. She is very energetic and loves to play, but also entertains herself. She'll happily skid all across the apartment playing games by herself or trying to catch her own tail, but will never turn down a toy. She's looking for a home that is calm, preferably without children, and gives her safe places to lounge by herself. When people are around, Anita will never be far away and will always lounge or strut nearby. She’s curious and loves to greet you when you come home, or hang around where food might be involved. She loves to be petted when she's calm. If she's not in the mood, she'll let you know with a swipe and a pretend bite. She sleeps in bed with her foster mom. She is a sweet cat looking for a happy home!

Hi, My name is Ashton and I’m a 5 year old (as of April 2019) boy looking for my new home. I like, long walks on the carpet, scratching posts and lots of cans of wet foods. When I’m with my foster parents I prowl around my home looking for who’s leg I’m going to rub up against next. One of my favorite games is tag your foot is it! I’d like to think I’m quite handsome (like the Prince Harry of cats) at-least that’s what my foster mom thinks. Anyway hope to meet with you soon whoever you are -Ashton

Debbie is a very sweet kitty who likes people and other cats. She's petite and easy to handle. She's FIV+, but that shouldn't be a barrier to adoption. For information about FIV, please see: https://bestfriends.org/resources/fiv-cats-faqs-feline-immunodeficiency-virus

Bolt is a 3-4 year old gentleman that just wants to be treated right. He is shy at first and has a reserved, dare we say aristocatic (wink) air, but will make a sophisticated companion for the discerning individual - as you can see by his insistence on always wearing a tuxedo, he takes his formalwear very seriously. A responsible lover, Bolt is neutered and up to date on shots. He is currently lodging at Pet Supplies Plus Howard Beach, but is actively searching for a forever flat with well-curated kibble and the highest quality of canned pate.

Rocky is a beautiful boy with shiny coat and green eyes, he’s about 3 years old. One day he just showed up at the cat colony meowing for food, so it's likely he was someone's cat before. He has a great appetite, enjoys cheek scratching and is always greeting his visitors with welcome meow. Rocky is eager for human contact and what he needs now is new home where he sit on a windowsill, chase toys or just relax on a couch - he's already spent long 5 months in a boarding cage! If you want to meet Rocky, please email mshkrab@yandex.com.

Contact: Laurie 646-258-4477, Livy496@aol.com MamaKitty is a sweet girl who lives in a vacant lot. Unfortunately, construction is starting on the lot, and MamaKitty needs a new home. Her feeder, Laurie, will pay $500 for someone to foster her. Laurie says, "MamaKitty is 4-years-old, spayed, friendly to me, loves me to pet her, best ALONE or possibly with one other cat. Comes when I call her; wants petting before eating, rolls on the ground when sees me, so she really likes affection from me which could hopefully transition to someone else with some socializing.and trust. Lived outdoors her whole life, in an abandoned yard in back of a restaurant; the yard is being demolished and building being put up, and she is terrified, Hopefully she would transition to being indoors OR EVENTUALLY when acclimated, indoor outdoor as she loves the outdoors. Sweet, sweet, lovely cat. Raised a couple litters successfully. BEST MOTHER cat I have ever seen..... I would pay someone to foster her to see if she could be successfully, fully tamed and fully integrated into a loving home, OR as 2nd choice, outside living, as barn cat or protected outdoor cat, ONLY after full acclimation 3 weeks in following feral protocol so she doesn't get lost or run over."

Remy is a sweet kitty who was a love when he lived outside, but once came to shelter became a bit shy. We think this is because of other cats. Remy is a wonderful kitty who needs love one-by-one! He is very pretty and would love to be your best friend! He should be ok with other kitties, as long as they don't bully him. Remy is about 4 years old and ready to be loved!

Gloria is a shy and independent girl. She is good with other cats but is not really a lap cat. She'd like to be around you though, and with time she might warm up a little. We'd like to find an experienced adopted for her, someone who can accept and love her the way she is.

Avery needs a nice gentle family that will be patient with her. No kids. She loves laying on the bed belly up and entices you to give tummy rubs. She is temperamental due to her former abuse but once she becomes your baby she is devoted. She gives long silent cries for attention which is absolutely adorable. She does not like other cats.

Zenia is sweet, wants attention and will seek it but any quick movements and she goes away. She will do fine with a mellow cat that won't bully her. She likes to sit by the window and look out, play with springs and balls. She is such a good girl, she deserves a forever home.

Lucy is such a friendly purr machine! She loves to sit on your lap and will follow you around the house. She doesn't like other cats, so she's best as an only cat. She was part of a TNR project in Lindenwood Queens, but she was so friendly that we couldn't put her back in the colony.

Summer is a sweet but very shy girl. She needs to go home with an experienced adopter who can work with her to help her get over her fears. In return you'll get the best and the most devoted furriend ever! Summer is about 1 year old (as of March '17).

Very healthy baby boy awaits your love and home! Please email his foster mom Vera at cappi517@aol.com if you wish to meet this sweetie! He's currently in Brooklyn.

George is a pretty 2.5 year old boy (as of April 2018). He's not super friendly, but not aggressive and great with other cats. We believe that with right people and with some quality time he will come out of his shell and become a wonderful friend! Needs experienced parents.

Here's the story of Tiger Lily: Theresa [the founder of our shelter] saw a cat galloping down Linden Blvd. She ran across streets without looking, she just was bolting. Theresa, with just pure luck was able to follow her. Once the kitty smelled the food she stopped running and came closer. Theresa sat under a truck for about half an hour to coxed cat to take bits of food, then she went back to her van and got a carrier. By only a miracle and lots of prays she was able to get kitty to follow the food inside the carrier and shut her in. She is around 6 months, terrified; we have no idea what happened to her but she is petrified with fear. She is obviously not feral just scared. She also is quite thin but looks healthy otherwise. She does have some scarring over one eye and a bit thin but otherwise seems healthy. Catching her, without a trap, on a busy street, was a tiny miracle. We called a kitty Tiger Lily, and now she was spayed and tested. She is looking for a good foster or forver home to help her overcome her fears and start trusting people again. She is not a lap cat and will probably need a lot of work to gain her trust, but if you do this, you will have the most loyal furfriend ever!

Mamacita is a sweet shy kitty who will become your dear friend if you just give her your love! She loves other cats and human attention, but is very shy at first. Once she gets to know you, she enjoys to be petted and to receive love (and treets! =)! She had a rough life on the streets. She was rescued together with her 2 sisters from a Junkyard on Liberty Ave in 2011. They were all in very bad shape: thin, covered in fleas, and had upper respiratory infections; each of the 3 had 5 to 6 kittens with them. Her two sisters were adopted so are all the surviving kittens. Mamacita was run over by a car at the junkyard so she limps on her hind leg. She was the most traumatized of the 3; this is why she is so shy. Right now she’s about 7 years old (as of Oct. '17)

Pete (around 3 years old as of April 2018) is a beautiful male tabby with white paws and chest. He is a sweet shy boy that loves to play with his foster siblings. He runs around chasing his friends or the red laser light. He would do best with another cat to show him to trust while getting acclimated to his new home. He's also good with small dogs. He craves attention and is looking for a family to call his own. He loves treats and will love you too. He just needs someone who will give him time to some out of his shell.

This handsome boy is Creamsicle, a gentle, sweet fellow who is looking for someone to adore (who will adore *him* right back). Would you like to meet him? Email adoptions@foranimalsinc.com to set up a time. Creamsicle is about 4 y.o. (as of March '17) and has been at the shelter since 6 months old.

Griffin is a handsome white and grey boy. He is independent, but still likes to be around and to be petted.
