Tavi & Friends
About Our Rescue Group
Tavi & Friends is a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to helping special companion animals with unique challenges through public awareness, partnership and teamwork, TTouch therapy, training, TNR rescue and adoption. We are also a breed rescue for the American Curl cat.
We rescue cats and dogs from many situations, bring them into a foster care environment to help with needed rehabilitation, medical care, and socialization. We are members of the NYC Breed Network, the Mayor’s Alliance for NYC’s Animals, the Animal Alliance of Long Island, Tellington TTouch Int’l, and network with other animal welfare organizations. Come Meet our Pets
Tavi & Friends does not have a shelter facility at this time (although having the funds for a Sanctuary someday is one of our biggest dreams!) “Meeting” one of our cats or dogs is by appointment only, or you can see them at any of our adoption events throughout New York City and Long Island.
Call us or visit our website for listings of adoption events. www.TAVIandFRIENDS.org Our Adoption Process
Tavi & Friends is a small, limited intake organization. If you are interested in adopting one of our animals, you can contact us or download the adoption application from our website.
All of our cats and dogs are in foster homes and meeting one of them is by appointment only or at one of our adoption events around New York City & Long Island. The adoption process may take some time as we work hard to ensure that all of our animals go to the best forever home. References are checked, we required an on-site home visit prior to approval, spot checks after adoption, and all adopters are required to sign our adoption contract. There is an adoption fee for all of our animals and this will be discussed with the potential adopter. All animals will be spayed/neutered, vaccinated as appropriate, cats tested for FIV/FeLV, and we provide full disclosure of the animal’s condition prior to completion of the adoption process. We do, however, recommend that you see your own veterinarian after adoption, and at least yearly, to ensure the ongoing health and well-being of your new pet for many years to come! Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group. |
