Cats for Adoption in New York City, NY: 30 Cats Looking for a Home

Move Out is an adorable, gentle girl who will lean into pets once she gets to know and trust you. She particularly likes scratches under her chin. She has come such a long way, from hiding behind furniture to happily taking naps right next to his foster. She is a very quiet and peaceful companion who loves simply being in your space, whether that means lounging on the couch or curling up in a chair next to you.

Tito is the sweetest cat you could find. He loves cuddles, and pets - and he will sit there and demand them! He is a very vocal cat with a quiet gentle voice, and if he needs food or a cleaned litter box, he will let you know. If you have children or young people in your home, Tito is your perfect kitty - he is kind and gentle, doesn’t scratch or bite, but isn’t shy - he will introduce himself to new people with no issue. He is like an animal best friend! If you want an adorable, gentle cat to keep you company, Tito is the way to go.

This cat can be adopted with a friend or as a single cat.

Mama Hellen is a total sweetheart, and she went from hiding behind the toilet to sprawling on the couch, napping next to her people, and leaning into cheek scratches. She loves catching rays in whatever sun spots she can find.

She is calm, quiet, and very well-behaved. She is just starting to work up the courage to swat at some toys. She is the most gentle girl, ready for someone to give her a chance.

Shaggy is such a sweet boy! He’s a pretty independent guy and generally spends most of the day doing his own thing. He loves to find a quiet spot to hide, but enjoys stealing the spotlight on a work call as well! He appreciates the company of people and often comes when called. If you pat the couch he will hop right up and wait expectantly for pets! He has absolutely no sense of personal space and will happily climb all over you on the couch, but is a respectful king at night and will sleep politely at the foot of the bed. He has a strong preference for catnip toys and is very treat motivated! He would probably do best with someone who works from home or is hybrid, as we get the sense he likes having people around.

Remus and Romulus are the sweetest brothers, they love to sleep cuddled up together. They enjoy pets and are picked up either no problem. They are kittens so of course they love to play and chase each other all over the fosters home!
they current live with a large dog, 4 resident cats and 4 kids! They are fine with them all!

both boys are neutered, up to date on vaccines and tested negative for felv/fiv

If you’d like to meet these handsome boys please complete our adoption application and indicate Tara as their rescuer. https://brooklynanimalaction.org/adoption-forms/

Meet Sid: the sweetest, most affectionate orange boy (with brains to match!)

Sid spent his early days exploring the great outdoors, and now he’s discovering all the good things indoor life has to offer. Case in point: he only recently met his first Churu. A week ago he wasn’t sure what to do with one; now he’s a certified fan. Similarly, he also just discovered what a reflection in the mirror is. His paws are still getting used to the soft life, and he’s loving every minute of it.

Machi Koro is the kitty of your dreams. He has had a tough start to life, so is extra ready for love, snuggles & belly rubs. He is a little uncertain because of his early experiences, but after getting comfortable with you, he will curl up beside you when you lay down, roll and flop all over the couch, bed, or your lap, purring the loudest purr. He also does the cutest thing: if you take your hand away from giving him scratches, he reaches out with both paws and gently puts your hand back where it was. He is a charmer with the softest heart, roundest eyes, and knows just how to make your heart melt! You will not regret giving Machi Koro a fresh start.

Meet Misky!

Misky is a handsome tuxedo boy, approximately 2 years old, with beautiful golden eyes, the cutest white markings, and lots of love to give! He is incredibly affectionate and loves receiving pets and being close to people. He has a sweet, loving personality, but he also has a playful side and gets the zoomies at night!

Misky enjoys having cozy places to relax and is sure to bring plenty of love, companionship, and entertainment into his future home. He is beyond excited to begin his next adventure. Misky deserves a safe, loving forever home where he can be cherished, spoiled, and loved every single day.

Lily is sharing a shelter cage with her 2 sisters, Poppy and Iris. She hides behind them, uncertain about interacting but we are sure that once she is in safety and security of a new forever home, her true personality will shine through!

Iris is a beautiful Torti girl currently at the shelter with her 2 sisters, Poppy and Lily. She is shy and sweet and hoping for a new forever family to help her blossom outside of a shelter cage!

Poppy is currently at the shelter with her 2 sisters Iris and Lily. She is the most outgoing of the siblings and super cute too!

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.

Pacino is a sweet, curious, and playful black kitten who loves being around people and exploring the world around him! Pacino enjoys following you from room to room, looking for pets, attention, and his favorite cheek rubs. As a rescue, he can be a little shy at first, but he warms up quickly and loves spending time with his people, whether he's enjoying some lap time or keeping you entertained with his kitten antics.

Rocco is a sweet, affectionate, and outgoing teen kitten who loves being around people. He has an almost dog-like loyalty, greeting you at the door every time you come home with a loud purr and plenty of enthusiasm. He loves attention and will eagerly climb into your lap, nuzzle your face when you pick him up, and follow your hand with his head to make sure the pets don't stop. He's also wonderfully confident and friendly with new people, greeting visitors without a hint of shyness.

Say hello to this beautiful 1-year-old tortie girl, Chica!

This lovely girl is as sweet as they come! She enjoys human company and has a friendly nature that makes her a wonderful little companion. She is always seeking love, attention and pets.

At just one year old, she’s still young and has a lifetime of love, companionship, and happy memories ahead of her. All she needs now is a forever home where she can feel safe, cherished, and loved just as much as she deserves. She would do fine with a playmate but would also be ok as your one and only!

This is Moniker. He’s about a year old, sleek black with a clean white tuxedo chest and four white socks. His foster says he has been one of the sweetest, most genuinely affectionate cats they've ever lived with.

Dixie is a little social butterfly who absolutely loves attention. The moment she sees someone, she comes right up to greet them, hoping for pets, affection, and a little one-on-one time. She isn’t shy about letting you know she wants some love, and her friendly, people-loving personality makes her impossible not to adore!

This beautiful girl has so much love to give and would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a kitty who genuinely enjoys human interaction. At her young age, she still has plenty of kittenhood ahead of her, with lots of time to grow, play, and build a special bond with her forever family.

Soca is the sweetest large angel!!

She is a very chill, 4-year-old gal who wants to play (mostly while laying) and wants to curl up near you all day! She has a big purr that starts up the second you pet her or start talking to her. She is so goofy because if you pet her face too long, she starts to grab your arm to wrestle and give love bites. We think she gets quickly overstimulated which is why the big loving purr turns to attack mode.

She sleeps extremely deeply and twitches a lot in her sleep. When she wakes up, she meows loudly until she figures out where you are. Then it is back to sleep!

Chips is a fun, loving, chonky 1-year old kitten! She does it all: non-stop play, holds your hand, pats you, flops, sleeps on your lap, you name it! This is the perfect calico girl looking for her perfect home.

Chips would be happy for playtime to go on forever. Give her a kick toy and she’ll kick it (or any toy really). Give her a wand toy and she’ll jump around chasing it. Don’t even get me started with the laser pointer (but do get Chips started, she loves it!).

Meet Maggie, she is a beautiful & fluffy tabby girl. Maggie is a very sweet kitty who is rather chatty, she always responds when you call or speak to her. She goes crazy for Churu treats and has a great appetite. Maggie loves her play time, especially if you join in, yet she can be very independent and go exploring on her own. She will take a moment to get to know any new friends, Maggie will require a patient and loving person to gain her trust. You will, however, shortly be rewarded with a very affectionate kitty, who becomes a purring machine the moment you’re nearby and loves to be with her person. This gorgeous cat is just ready to meet her future forever family.

9/15/2026 a Colonia resident had a stray cat show up in her yard. He is very friendly and she came to AP for help. She agreed to foster him for a month until we could test and vet him. Dr Deb said he was very friendly but was not a fan of the other cats in the van.

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!

Meet Pixie, an adorable, mostly black kitten and her cute tabby sister Dixie. They are inseparable siblings ready for their forever home.

These two sweet girls are 7 months old and do almost everything side by side. They are super cuddly, affectionate, and full of playful energy. The moment you pick them up, their loud purr engines start revving! If they ever feel lonely, they’ll happily jump onto your legs and wrap you in a big, loving hug with all four paws.

Pixie and Dixie love being around people and especially enjoy sleeping right next to (or on top of) their human friends.

Meet Bruno! This super sweet, fluffy boy is gorgeous and easygoing. He is a chill dude who loves to be brushed and is ready for a wonderful home where he can be your BFF. Bruno followed someone home and at first lived on their porch, then graduated to their office. He likes to claim his human and will swat or hiss if he sees another cat or dog as competition but then backs down if they stand up to him. As we believe Bruno is a Tiffany mix, his adoption fee is $300.

Bruno is 2-3 years old and healthy. He is neutered, tested FIV+-/FeLV-, microchipped, up to date on vaccines and ready for his furrrever home.

Meet Aldric! This super sweet boy is amazing, very loving and very happy to be inside after being rescued on the street starving and friendly. Thankfully he is getting regular meals now and he is loving life and loves humans. He is happy to be held and loves being pet. He is a beginner cat, very easy and chill.

Aldric is neutered, tested fiv-/felv-, microchipped, up-to-date on vaccines and ready for his forever home.

Warwick is a playful, loving, and energetic little lady. She loves snuggles and being in the center of any action. A total lap cat, she'd be a fit in any household. Her favorite toys are wands and tiny mice. After enough time playing and exploring, she loves to take long naps in the sun with her best friend Coco.

She has some stomach/absorption issues so is on a special diet. We'd be happy to speak with a potential adopter about this! Her best friend Coco is also on the same diet.

Meet Backwards Oreo (aka Oero!). This sweet girl came to us in rough shape, as an older dumped pet who clearly spent way too long fending for herself outside. We were able to nurse her back to health, and are so happy she's thriving. She loves a lap, and loves to just hang out near her people. She's a very chill girl, but does sometimes get a tiny burst of energy (especially if there's catnip involved!). We haven't observed her around kids but think she'd do very well in pretty much any household.

Meet Banjo! A rare orange girl kitty!

Banjo is a sweet, affectionate girl who's ready to be your shadow. She'll greet you at the door with meows and follow you from room to room until you give her the pets she so clearly deserves. And she loves her pets: she'll ploop onto her side, then flip over to offer you the other side.

When it's playtime, wand toys are her thing. Move one fast and watch her chase it. She's also easy to pick up, so cuddles are always an option.

If you want a sweet, chatty buddy to come home to, Banjo's your girl.

This cat would prefer to be adopted alone and be the only cat in the home.

Cosette is super sweet and so ready to snuggle up for the chilly seasons!
She was found abandoned outside, but clearly knew humans already. She loves to be pet, to be held, and to play!

Cosette is approximately 5 months old, spayed, microchipped, negative for FIV and FeLV, treated for parasites, and ready for her forever home! She must go to a home with another young cat.

If you’re interested in meeting Cosette, fill out an application at www.brooklynanimalaction.org/adoption-forms and designate Dana H as the rescuer.

Bell Pepper is an adorable 4-month-old calico baby looking for her forever home! When she first arrived, she was a spicy and timid little kitten, but she has since blossomed into such an affectionate little girl. Once she feels comfortable around you, she’ll happily follow you around the room, lovingly brush against your legs, and seek out attention. Bell Pepper absolutely loves chin scratches and scritches behind her ears. Once you get started, she turns into a little purring machine!
