My story

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

Tom is a super friendly and gentle soul who greets his foster parents at the door when they get home each day and follows them all around the house. This handsome tabby boy even likes strangers—he welcomes them and promptly asks for pets!

Tom is a sweetheart with quite a backstory—one that has a happy ending. He was found in December thin, sick, and with tail injury. After having two tail surgeries, he has finally recovered and is as good as new! His missing tail doesn’t slow him down one bit. He spends his days chasing and playing with his cat foster brothers and lounging on the couch. He also loves hanging out by the windows watching the outside world.

Tom is super adaptable and can live as a solo cat or with a friendly cat companion. He is neutered and vaccinated. He is FIV+, but that shouldn't be a deterrent to adoption. FIV+ cats can live very long and healthy lives For more information see: https://resources.bestfriends.org/article/fiv-cats-faqs-feline-immunodeficiency-virus. A loving forever home would make his life complete, and your life filled with joy.

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.
