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.

Merlin

Reserved

Merlin is being placed on the at-risk list for medical concerns. Merlin has had persistent CIRDC signs despite two courses of antibiotics. He also was recently diagnosed with a mild urethral prolapse. If that worsens, he may need surgery. Placement in calm, quiet environment to minimize arousal is ideal.

Dim Sum

Reserved

Dim Sum is on the at-risk list due to medical concerns. Dim Sum is a nervous but sweet cat that came in as a stray. We have assessed that Dim Sum is diabetic and have started her on a treatment plan. Dim Sum will need daily maintenance with their medical condition and further follow up with outside vet care. Diabetes in cats is not always permanent, and some cats can achieve diabetic remission with the appropriate management. Dim Sum has been tolerant of all medical handling.

Lightning Girl

Reserved

Lighting Girl is on the at-risk list for medical concerns. Lightning Girl is a very sweet 4 month old puppy who was exposed to parvovirus by her littermate. She is bright and alert and eating with a good appetite. Lightning Girl has received canine parvovirus monoclonal antibody out of caution and is currently receiving supportive care also out of an abundance of caution.

Ice

Reserved

Ice is on the at-risk list for medical concerns. Ice is a very sweet 4 month old puppy who has tested positive for parvovirus after having a bout of profuse diarrhea and lethargy. Ice has received canine parvovirus monoclonal antibody and is currently receiving supportive care. Ice needs more care than we can provide at the shelter.
