Rescue FAQs

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.
We're based in Manhattan, serving the NYC area.

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.
