To find out the status of at-risk animals, please visit the At-Risk Outcomes page.

If this is your first time visiting this site, please read the below information carefully.

For anyone who wishes to adopt, there is a mandatory deposit fee of $200 plus a transaction fee per animal to place an adoption reservation. The $200 covers $50 toward the adoption fee and $150 for the spay/neuter deposit. If the animal has already been spayed or neutered or is permanently waived by one of our veterinarians, the $150 deposit will be refunded at the time of the adoption. If the animal does need to leave without being spayed or neutered due to his/her medical condition, the $150 deposit will be refunded at the time they are brought back for the spay/neuter surgery or when proof of sterilization being done elsewhere is provided to ACC. If you do not follow through with the adoption, the entire $200 deposit will be considered a charitable donation to ACC's Special Treatment and Recovery Fund (STAR). Also, if the adoption fee for an animal is less than $50, the difference will be considered a charitable donation to the STAR Fund. Similarly, in-shelter pricing promotions do not apply to at-risk animals.

To complete an adoption, please click reserve on the animal of your choice. That animal will be loaded in your cart and you will have 15 minutes to complete the adoption process. In order to complete your reservation, you need to check out (top right corner). At this point, you will enter in your credit card information and a receipt will be emailed to you as confirmation of your reservation. If you have any issues, please email adopt@nycacc.org for help navigating the website.

Billy Jr

Reserved

Billy Jr is on the at-risk list due to behavior. He is not thriving in the care center and continues to display distance-increasing behavior when approached for interactions. He has not warmed up despite staff using treats to build a positive association. Due to his stress levels, it is in his best interest to move out of the kennel environment and into a stable home as quickly as possible. He would do best in a home with adopters who are willing to give him plenty of time and space to adjust, and who have experience with helping a fearful cat adjust to strangers. Medically, Billy Jr is FIV+ and has mild to moderate dental disease.

Fudge

Reserved

Fudge is on the at-risk list due to medical concerns. Fudge is a friendly kitten who came in as a stray. We have assessed that Fudge is missing part of his left hind leg and there is a wound present there that appears chronic. Fudge will need close monitoring of this wound to ensure it is healing appropriate and will require further follow up with outside vet care. If the wound does not heal and/or if Fudge is having trouble getting around, he may need the remainder of his limb amputated. Fudge has allowed all handling and seeks attention during their exams.

Yang

Reserved

Yang is on the at risk list for medical reasons. Yang is a kitten with chronic conjunctivitis who has now developed a corneal ulceration. She needs continued treatment with frequent medication administration, which we are unable to provide in shelter. If her ocular disease persists or if the damage to her eyes is severe, then she may need enucleation(s). Behaviorally, Yang is sweet and allows all handling.
