My story

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

Sparkles the sweetheart is a volunteer favorite. She will rub up against your legs and look to you longingly for a scritch on her cheek. And yet, she has been overlooked. Our girl has a food sensitivity and as a result, she has very itchy skin. She's scratching so much that it is causing sores on her face. We are stuck: It is impossible to regulate her food intake in our open environment, and it would break our hearts and Sparkles' spirit to cage her.

Might you consider opening your home to Sparkles as a foster? We will guide you with her very easy-to-manage dietary needs and she will be feeling better fast. Sparkles will do best as an only kitty. For more information about Sparkles, please visit our Adoption Process page (https://www.foranimalsinc.com/our-adoption-process/) and follow the instructions to complete and return an application.

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.
