Breed: Domestic Shorthair Color: Tiger Striped Age: Young

Hero: Gave a Foster Child Hope's Story...
This very laid back kitty loves to be pet pretty much everywhere including his tummy and paws. He will curl up next to you while you watch a movie (or Dr. Who), or follow you around the house curiously while you do chores. He enjoys playing with his feline flyer, but will also curl up by your feet as you sleep. He started out a little shy when he first moved homes, but after a couple days has become one of the most loving, sweet kitties you could ever hope to meet! Here are two movies of him, the first is learning how to shake hands, the second simply being pet:

Hero is a very playful, loving kitty! He originally belonged to a foster child who aged out of foster care. He was her only true family and her kind social worker asked us to help him find a home before she had to move to "no-pet" housing. She was devastated to give him up as she slept with him every night. All she wanted was for him to find a loving home! We want to make sure that happens. We are calling him Hero, though she named him Zero after the ghost dog in "A Nightmare Before Christmas", the foster child's favorite movie.

He is about 1 to 1 1/2 years old and fully vetted (neutered, tested neg for fiv/leuk, dewormed, defleaed, etc).

If you would like to meet this amazing cat, who truly gave his foster child hope, please contact Claire at brooklynanimalaction(at)gmail.com

Thank you for thinking of a rescued angel. Every dime we take in helps us save another homeless pet.

Why Adoption is a Great Option

Hero: Gave a Foster Child Hope, a Brooklyn Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Brooklyn, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Brooklyn.

  1. Rescues and shelter volunteers in Brooklyn already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
  2. On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Brooklyn breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
  3. You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Brooklyn paves the way for another one to be saved.
