My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Please note: Lucia loves the company of other cats and would do best with another young, playful cat.

Lucia, the gorgeous tuxedo girl, has blossomed into a confident and energetic young cat in her foster home. She loves to play, with particular fondness for wand toys, feathers, and ping pong balls to chase around. She'll often play on her own with whatever toy is on hand, and cutely carry them around (sometimes even fetch!). She enjoys bird watching, chirping at them from the window, and adores a window perch to relax, sunbathe, and watch the world from.

Lucia listens and is well behaved, though will remind you when it's breakfast or dinner time; she loves food and is not picky. She will follow her human around the house, flopping down on the floor to watch you go about your chores and interjecting for pets or play time. While initially shy of new people, a toy or treat quickly warms her up. She is moderately vocal with a very cute "meep".

She eagerly enjoys head and body scratches and brushings, but prefers no belly rubs or being picked up. She will sit close on the couch, purring and kneading away at a blanket, and in time we’re sure she will become a cozy lap cat with a human she fully trusts. Lucia enjoys and is good with other cats.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

You can see our adoption process here: https://www.foranimalsinc.com/adopt

Prior to adopting one of our wonderful pets, you will be asked to fill out an adoption application. Upon approval, you will sign an adoption contract and pay the $150 adoption fee, which covers the cost of spay/neuter and vaccines for your new companion.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Most of our cats are in private foster homes, so an approved application is required to arrange a meeting. There is no fee for the application, and no obligation. We usually start with a virtual meet & greet, and most of our fosters also allow in-person meet & greets if one is desired after the virtual meet & greet.

More about this rescue

Who we are
For Animals, Inc. is a TNR (trap, neuter, return) group based in Queens, NY. We are a New York State not for profit Corporation with (501) C-3 status. We are an all volunteer organization that has been rescuing and caring for feral and abandoned cats since 2008.

What we do
The focus of our operation is a TNR program. For Animals, Inc. rescues stray and abandoned cats and then transports them to a veterinarian office where they are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, dewormed and checked for general health. Afterward, they are fostered in a cage free environment until they are adopted into safe, loving homes.

Why we do it
With tens of thousands of feral cats on the streets of NYC, our focus is on TNR as an effort to humanely reduce the overall population, one colony at a time. By neutering & spaying the feral cats in the colony and adopting out friendly strays and kittens, the colony stabilizes and begins to shrink over time.
