My personality

My story

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

Deegan is a very special girl. She is shy, but oh so sweet and resilient, too. Deegan was found in the median of I-87 aka the Major Deegan (hence, her name!) and survived for multiple hours before being rescued. It is suspected that she was tossed from a moving car. After all she has been through, she deserves the very best home.

Deegan loves to play, and she loves loves loves to cuddle. She has a huge purr that is ten times her size. She also loves other cats. She would do best with a buddy and can be paired with another kitten or cat from For Animals Inc., or she can be a loving companion to your resident cat.

Deegan will be shy at first, but once she feels safe, she will be happiest in your lap or snuggling on your chest. You will hear her playing with her toys even as she adjusts to a new environment.

Deegan has tested negative for FIV/FeLV, she is spayed, and is about 4-5 months old as of December 2025. She is located in Astoria.

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.
