My story

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

Handsome Dexter is a gorgeous all-black cat who was rescued in South Brooklyn. We can tell he someone's pet at some time, but either being outside for a long time or suffering abuse in his past has made him shy. He must start in a confined space where he can't hide and with a human who is willing to spend time petting him and building his confidence. You can see by the video, he is a sweet guy who loves petting and is just waiting for that moment to trust completely. He truly relishes the touch and loves having his butt skritched, too!

Dexter is about 4 years old and healthy. He is neutered, tested fiv/felv negative, up to date on vaccines and ready for a wonderful, kind furrever home.

If you would like to schedule a meet & greet, please go to our application here: https://brooklynanimalaction.org/adoption-forms/. Make sure you click on Dexter, then identify Claire as the RESCUER and fill out the form!

Thank you for thinking of a rescued angel. Every dime goes to saving the next homeless angel on the street.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Interested adopters first fill out an adoption application, after which they can visit our animals in their foster homes. If they would like to adopt and their application is approved, they then complete an adoption contract. We also ask for an adoption fee to help us continue our work.

Please email us at adopt@brooklynanimalaction.org or contact the e-mail in the individual listing if you are interested in meeting one of our rescued animals. We hold Saturday adoption events at Unleashed by Petco in Park Slope and Petsmart on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn (check our website and Facebook page for more information) and have cats at Bushy Tails pet store in Bushwick and Petsmart.
