My story

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

Birthdate: 1/15/2025

Breed: One of a kind

No need to shudder under your covers with the lights out when you meet MR. BATES.  There's nothing scary about him, though we're certain he loved his mother, lol.  But he is keeping secrets.  Mysterious looking in elegant black, illuminated by moonlit eyes, there's a splash of soft white beneath that chin....but the plot thickens.  First glance reads cautious but first touch of his short, but luxurious coat flips the script.  This boy is an undiscovered lover, naive and still kittenish, completely unaware of the power he has over our fast beating hearts.  Almost into young adulthood he is still discovering how much he enjoys snuggling close, but once he knows your voice and your scent (don't turn your back...) you'll find him upside down being silly, just waiting for play or love or both.  So grab your popcorn and maybe a churu, but (spoiler alert) this story has a happy ending!  

The Rescue is open 7 days a week for you to come and meet our pets! Walk-ins are welcome! In order to interact with them, you’ll need a simple questionnaire filled out. You can fill this out at the Rescue or before you come in at: https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/36923/generic

If you have any questions, please email us at adoptions@pawscrossedny.org for more information. Please understand that we cannot hold pets for any reason. All adoptions are done on a first come, first adopt basis for pre-approved applicants.
