My story

I am a SUN cat because I require a special diet. I had PU surgery (perineal urethrostomy) and I’m doing great but I need prescription food. As long as I have proper preventive care, I can live a happy, healthy, blockage-free life. I am very sweet and love affection. I am a little shy at first and would need a little time to adjust before you see the truly wonderful boy that I am.

Why adoption is a great option

Tonka, a New York 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 New York, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in New York.

  1. Rescues and shelter volunteers in New York 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 New York 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 New York paves the way for another one to be saved.
