City Critters's adoption process

Additional adoption info

You fill out an adoption application, we discuss it with you, and check personal references. If everything checks out, there's a $100 adoption fee per cat, and we deliver the cat(s) to the home as part of a home check.

About City Critters

City Critters, Inc. is a small 501(c)(3) in Manhattan that performs local cat (and some dog) rescue, adoptions, and trap-neuter-release for community cats. We take in animals from the streets, or from homes that can’t keep them any more. Many come from our overwhelmed city shelter system (Animal Care & Control of NYC), which must accept any
animal brought into its facilities and therefore has to euthanize thousands each year.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
