Meet Leomar & Leonel – The Ultimate Twin Duo!
Looking for instant love, entertainment, and a lifetime of affection? Look no further than twin brothers Leomar and Leonel with Zani's Furry Friends!
At 5 months old, this bonded pair is at the perfect age—full of fun, curiosity, and sweet kitten antics. They traveled all the way from Puerto Rico to find their happily ever after, and they want to make sure they stick together.
Leomar is the handsome boy with the slightly darker orange markings, and Leonel is his equally stunning, wide-eyed partner in crime. Together, they are unstoppable. They spend their days wrestling, exploring, and loudly purring the moment a human enters the room.
Best of all? They are proving to be highly adaptable and are already starting to play with dogs in their foster home!
They are fully vetted, up-to-date on vaccines, and ready to move into your heart.

Melina is about 5 months old. She was trapped at a construction site in the Bronx by the rescuer. She is already spayed, tested, and vaccinated. She lives other cats! Des and Brian will foster her.

Uptown Girl Needs a Home

Galen was found wandering alone on Nagle Avenue in Washington Heights. As it happened to be a spay/neuter day for us, she was quickly whisked off to be spayed, vaccinated, and tested for FIV/FeLV (she’s negative!). We named her Nagel at first, but soon jumbled the letters to make it sound prettier – Galen. Getting to know her has been exciting for her foster person, as she has slowly learned to trust. This one-year-old kitty might do well with another feline or maybe as your one-and-only cat friend. Please consider adopting her or taking her in as a foster-to-adopt. You’ll be glad you did!

Introducing Harbor & Mariner

These sweet kitties have sadly been returned to us after eight years, and Carol picked them up on September 22.

Mariner is the one with more white on his face. They’re both extremely shy right now, which is completely understandable after such a big change, but they are incredibly gentle and sweet.

After eight years in a home, they deserve another chance at the stability and love of a forever family. Please give Harbor & Mariner a chance to feel safe, loved, and at home again.

Spice up Your Life!

Meet Cinnamon! This beautiful girl was found living outside near Yankee Stadium. She quickly warmed up to the kind woman who took her in and brought her to us. Like most calicos, she can be a bit spicy until she feels comfortable in her surroundings. She’s only 7-8 months old, so she would need a kitty companion. Come and check her out!

He is FIV positive, but extremely sweet and gentle young boy.

Two Russian Blue Cats Need Safe Harbor!

When anyone adopts from The Animal Project, one of their main advantages is the ability to return the cats to us for any reason at any time. Most people see that as a huge safety net, but these misguided adopters decided to sell their cats online instead. Through a caper worthy of James Bond, we were able to retrieve the cats TODAY. Now Lady Jane and Poupon need a place to land! Could you open your heart and home to these sweet refugees?

Entrechat & Lenore, both former bottle babies, have never met a human they don't like! Be prepared for your lap to always be warm and cozy with these two in your home! As much as they will love you, these two ADORE one another. Out of their whole litter, these two could always be found snuggled up together. It's so sweet to watch. Consider opening your home to this perfect pair of tabby boys!

Buccal and Maxilla are a once shy pair of kittens who are getting braver every day! Maxilla is slightly shyer than his sister, but give some pets and he will warm right up! They both love to snuggle and play with one another, and have never met a toy they don't want to play with.

Pagoda is a beautiful sweet girl! Having come from a hoarding situation, she is very shy, but learning to come out of her shell. She’s most active and curious at night, exploring the whole apartment and leaving no corner un-sniffed. She’s very food-motivated, licking the plate clean every time and licking Churu off her foster's hand. Around humans, she still gets a little scared. But every night, she claims the pillow where her foster sits, a small sign she’s learning to love.

She’ll do the best with a patient adopter who is willing to take the time to let her blossom. She’s not the cuddliest (not yet!) but coming out of her shell day-by-day.

Venom was deceptively named, as there is nothing venomous about this sweet tabby boy. (Given his propensity to sit on his bum like a little old man, we often call him lil’ Vinny).
