My story

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

Dixie can be adopted as a solo cat or with another gentle, friendly cat.

Dixie is a beautiful black panther with shiny, silky fur. This sweetheart was found abandoned and pregnant. She was hungry and super skinny, and unfortunately gave birth to two stillborn kittens. She was sad and heartbroken over their loss, and wasn't too sure about humans.

She came to her foster home after being spayed and spent the first few nights calling out to her missing babies. Then a tiny kitten came to the same foster home. Dixie cared for her as if she were her own. She groomed her, showed her how to play, played with her, and cuddled with her so she wasn't lonely.

Dixie's heart is healed, and she is ready for a forever home. Her favorite toy is a soft stuffed mouse that she can bat around and cuddle with. She also loves other cats. Dixie is a bit shy still but she will come for head scratches and pets, and she LOVES treats! With a bit more time and patience, Dixie seems destined to be a snuggly lap cat.

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.
