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.

Max

Reserved

Max is at risk for behavior reasons. Max is dog reactive and was kept in a pop-up crate initially for space. When moved to the dog room, he began to deteriorate, jumping up and biting at the leash persistently making him a handling risk in care. We have been better able to manage him in a crate in an office which is not ideal living situation in the shelter. Medically, he is overweight.

Jujubee

Reserved

Jujubee is at risk for behavior reasons. Jujubee has begun to deteriorate in care, leash biting, helicoptering, and causing herself to faint when exiting the building. She has shown resource guarding with certain items such as the wobble wag ball, escalating to snapping when in an aroused state engaged with the toy. Jujubee loves to relax in the yard, laying across the bench with a tennis ball. When walked on her harness she is pulling hard at the end of the leash. Medically, she is apparently healthy.

Juno

Reserved

Juno is on the at risk list for medical reasons. He is a friendly senior cat who was diagnosed with diabetes at the shelter. Juno will require long-term medical management for this disease. Juno has allowed for all medical handling and solicits attention during his exams.
