Story
Nico is a beautiful black and white tuxedo girl. Born in mid July, 2022, her “half moustache” is only part of her cuteness. She loves to look at you with her soulful eyes and will even talk to you. She is full of life and full of personality. You could say that this little one wants to be your best friend. The perfect companion for those lazy nights on the couch. At first glance, Nico looks like any ordinary cat, but in fact she has something very special about her. Nico is paralyzed. Nico was found in the street, crying out for someone to come to her aid. A young girl picked her up and reached out to S.T.A.R.T. for guidance. We brought Nico in and immediately rushed her to the vet. The heart of a rescuer is strong but seeing any animal in a helpless state can break you. After an exam and x-rays, we received both good news and bad news. The good news was that nothing was broken. The bad news was ………. that nothing was broken. Nothing broken means there is nothing to repair. She most likely has suffered from a ruptured disk which has left her with no mobility or feeling in her back end. You may think that a cat in her condition will never live a full life. All you have to do is meet Nico and you realize just how full of life she is. She loves to play, she loves to eat, and she absolutely loves to be loved! Of course, her maintenance is a little more involved than a regular house cat. Her bladder needs to be expressed 3-4 times daily. A fairly easy task but keeping her on a schedule is key. We are looking to find her a forever home with someone who has experience in paralysis and what Nico’s limitations and capabilities may be. She has truly opened our eyes to what is important in life. Nico is vaccinated, altered, FeLV/FIV tested negative and microchipped.

Story
Grizzly and his siblings were born in early March, 2025. The family of four were yet more victims of someone’s ignorance to get their cats spayed and neutered. We were fortunate to rescue them from a situation that was not ideal. The family took a little time to adjust to new surroundings but all became very sweet, and all with the loudest purrs. Grizzly is a handsome mackerel tabby buff boy. He is the alpha of the family and can be a little untrusting. That is until you bring out the food! Then he realizes “you’re not so bad” and even lets you pick him up. And the purring never stops. Please consider adopting Grizzly with one of his litter mates, as a companion would definitely benefit him and you. Grizzly is vaccinated, altered, FeLV/FIV tested negative and microchipped.

Story
START was called to a local yard where a mother cat had given birth to six little ones. A very wise mom had made herself comfortable in a screened in porch. We brought the family in to safety and watched the kittens thrive. Born on March 7, 2023, Doyle is a beautiful brown tiger girl. Though still a youngster, Doyle has a very calming nature. She gets along well with other cats but just loves to relax in her cat tower. She would do great in a quiet home with a feline friend. Doyle is vaccinated, altered, FeLV/FIV tested negative and microchipped. If you are interested in adopting this pet, you can start the process and access our pre-adoption application which is located on our website at www.startpets.net, click on Pets for Adoption then application; complete the form, and submit/send.

Story
Tempe is a beautiful black and white tuxedo girl. Born in early September, 2024, she was a teenage mother before she was surrendered into our foster system. She came in with two of her boys, both of which she took great care of. Now Tempe is looking for someone to take care of her. She is a sweetheart who would do great with a family, with or without other cats. A petite little girl, her unique silhouette with her tall ears is reminiscent of a special breed. Regardless of what is in her DNA, Tempe deserves all the love she has shown to her own kids. Tempe is vaccinated, altered, FeLV/FIV tested negative and microchipped.

Story
Born in early June, 2025, Seeley is a solid black little girl. She was found abandoned alone outside a local church but didn’t stay alone for too long. Picked up by a good Samaritan, Seeley is a happy, playful baby. Sitting still is not in her makeup. Her activity level is enough to make anyone tired just watching her! She is a handful to pin down who has no problem entertaining herself or playing with others. Seeley can bring a smile to your face as she purrs in your arms. Seeley is vaccinated, altered, FeLV/FIV tested negative and microchipped.

Story
 ALL our cats and dogs are in the NY area but can be adopted out of state to the purrfect furever home.  In some cases, we can help transport.  Zani's al fresco Summer Adoptions  follow us on FB to find us this summer as we will try new locations to meet the needs of NYC and support the little stores:)     Kindly is so named for his being extraordinarily kind!  A 2.5y Purrsian mix, he arrives Jan 26th with his friends from Saudi Arabia.  He is very playful so must go to a home that enjoys his energy and ideally with another cat or to a cat home with another playful kitty.  He did have an eye injury but you'd never know it today as he had an eyelid flap operation and is now good as new: History: found abandoned in a garden and some kids were hitting him! Being a friendly house cat, he didn’t realize that they wanted to kick him which was a devastating thing to witness. I immediately took him in. He loves to play. I think he has a kitten spirit. Some of the cats are bothered by his energy so he is best suited with a cat that matches his energy. All kittens are adoptable in pairs only unless another age appropriate cat is in residence.  Most of our adult cats also like cat company (most fosters are multicat homes).  Please read the following article on cat food to see why no dry: www.catinfo.org Facebook:Zani's Furry Friends ZFF (weekly adoption event info posted there) Twitter: zanisff Instagram: zanisfurryfriends   All cats are in the NY area.  Cats are spayed/neutered, UTD on age appropriate vaccines, Rabies vaxed, and microchipped.  All are in the NY/NJ area but we will adopt out of state to the purrfect home and in some cases, we can arrange transport.  Please go to our site      https://zanisfurryfriends.org fill out an application and return to   cats@zanisfurryfriends.org   Please note: kittens must be adopted in pairs or to households with age appropriate cat(s) to ensure proper socialization and companionship. NO exceptions! If you would prefer a solo cat, we would be happy to recommend those cats who would do best as solo cats. All our cats are tested for feline leukemia and FIV, FVRCP and Rabies vaxed and also microchipped.   Many of us (cats/dogs) will be on display on Saturdays or Sundays, weather dependent.  Please ask by writing us at cats@zanisfurryfriends.org and following us on FB. If you are seriously interested in adopting one of us in particular, please fill out an application. Otherwise we decide based on other variables. Usually we are in our foster homes so this is a bit more stressful and a slightly artificial environment but we do want to be seen and find our furever homes too. Please come! And if you can't adopt, foster or volunteer, you can always donate!  If you want to know about cats/dogs specifically being shown at our adoption locations, please email us info@zanisfurryfriends.org closer to the date so we know your interest and will make every effort to have that pet at the event or let you know how and where you can meet.  It is extemely helpful and speeds up adoption if the application is filled out prior to visiting us so please do that before coming to our weekend events. Our weekend locations are: Saturdays or Sundays, weather dependent  Follow us on FB, Zani's Furry Friends ZFF, for latest updates. Usually we are in our foster homes so all this is a bit more stressful but we do want to be seen and find our furever homes. Please come!
