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!

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!

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.
13. Galen
Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 15 mi from Pearl River


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!
14. Harbor & Mariner
7 Years 11 Months · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 15 mi from Pearl River



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.

17. Lady Jane & Poupon
Female · Domestic Short Hair / Russian Blue · 15 mi from Pearl River


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?

Adopting a cat in Pearl River
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
