3. Pearl
Name: PearlAge: about 5 years old*Adoption Fee: $200Meet Pearl, a sweet and charming girl with a story that deserves a happy ending. When her previous owners moved away, they sadly left her behind in their apartment building to fend for herself. Although they left her behind, they did leave her wearing a pretty pearl collar, which inspired us to give her the name Pearl. Now, she is safe, loved, and ready to find someone who will never leave her behind again. Pearl has been an absolute pleasure to have around! She is a loving, affectionate girl who enjoys all the little things that make a cat happy.
Read more about Pearl
She adores head rubbies, ear rubbies, catnip, and giving sweet little head butts to show you just how much she likes you. She is also quite the talker and loves to share her thoughts with you, so you'll never have to wonder what's on her mind! Pearl has a few preferences that make her personality even more endearing. She loves her special chair and firmly believes it belongs to her and her alone! Try to sit in it, and she'll be sure to let you know that you've made a terrible mistake. She also loves affection, but belly rubs are definitely not on her list of favorite things. And while she enjoys being close to her people and sharing love, she's not much of a lap cat. She's more of a "I'll sit near you, give you head butts, and accept all the attention I want, thank you very much!" kind of girl.After being left behind by the people she depended on, Pearl deserves a forever home where she will always feel safe, cherished, and wanted. She has so much love to give and a wonderful personality to share with someone special. If you're looking for a sweet, vocal, affectionate companion with a little sass and a whole lot of heart, Pearl may just be your girl. Pearl is ready for her next chapter — one filled with love, comfort, and a family who will always choose her.

9. Honey & Buns
Meet Honey & Buns! Honey and Buns are a brother-and-sister duo who are as sweet as they come! These social, friendly kittens are full of playful energy and always seem to be on the move. One minute they are zooming around the house chasing toys, and the next they are completely passed out together for a cozy kitten nap. There is truly no in-between!
These two also absolutely love other cats and would thrive in a home with feline friends. Honey and Buns share a special bond, and we would love to see them adopted together so they can continue growing up side by side.
Read more about Honey & Buns
For the right home, they can be adopted separately as long as each has another friendly, playful cat companion. Whether they stay together or find feline friends of their own, these kittens are happiest when they have a buddy to play and cuddle with.
If a home filled with purrs, playtime, cuddles, and just the right amount of kitten chaos sounds perfect, Honey and Buns may be the pair to make it happen!
Honey and Buns have been flea-treated, dewormed, vaccinated, and tested negative for FIV and FeLV. They will be spayed/neutered at the appropriate age in coordination with their adopters.
To learn more or apply to adopt Honey and/or Buns, please email nycatcoaladopt@yahoo.com or call Joan at (718) 671-1695. An online adoption form is also available - click here to apply.

10. Rue
Birthdate: 02/16/2023Breed: One of a kindRUE would like to thank you all for your patience, but wants you to know....she's ready to love again!! Coming a long way from Puerto Rico to find her forever home, she had the toughest time of all her El Faro friends at feeling at home here. Perhaps because she's a sensitive, gentle girl, the transition from the only home she'd ever known proved to be a difficult one. We all know that fear even for humans can leave us emotionally on shaky ground, and it's really no different for cats. So we waited. Rue went to a foster home briefly that we think jump started some changes.

Since her return to our cat room, we've watched her watching us in a different way. We held our breath. We hoped.Just the other day, the inner Rue (who we knew was just below the surface) emerged in a way that fills our hearts. She is flirty, she is chatty (chirping up a storm) and she insists that you pet her! It's as if her heart and soul are finally feeling safe enough to show us her love! We celebrate it all! This is why we never give up on an animal. Our show-stopping beauty queen has been so worth the wait! The Rescue is open 7 days a week for you to come and meet our pets! Walk-ins are welcome!

11. Polly Pocket
Birthdate: 11/17/2025Breed: One of a kindPolly Pocket is one of a kind! She will quickly steal the heart of anyone that meets her. She is a chatty little girl who will chirp when you come in the room - her way of saying hi! She might not come up to you right away, but give her a second and she'll be rolling over ready for pets and love. Sweet Polly was born outside and cared for by a good samaritan who realized that it was time for her and her siblings to find their forever homes. We are so grateful that we get to be part of this special kitty's life.Polly has tested positive for FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus).
Read more about Polly Pocket
FeLV cats have a virus that causes a weaker immune system! For the most part, felvies are just like any other cat. You could not pick one out of the crowd, and they generally do not require much additional care. As a bonus, PCAR provides full coverage and treatment for any FeLV-related issues that arise after the time of adoption. Cats with FeLV typically have a shortened lifespan - we like to compare it to the lifespan of adopting a senior kitty, with the added benefit that FeLV-related medical care is covered. Polly is not contagious to people, dogs or other animals, but should live only with other FeLV+ cats. For more information, please contact us.Polly Pocket is currently in a foster home. Please email adoptions@pawscrossedny.org if you'd like to meet her!The Rescue is open 7 days a week for you to come and meet our pets! Walk-ins are welcome!

Bringing a cat home to your dog
Tell the rescue about your dog: their size, age and energy. A cat who has lived with a calm dog may still be nervous around a bouncy puppy.
Introduce them slowly. Keep the cat in a room of their own for the first few days, swap bedding so they get used to each other's scent, and then let them meet with the dog on a leash.
Make sure the cat can always get somewhere the dog can't reach, and keep the litter box and food bowls out of the dog's way.
