10. Chirop

Young (3 years 3 months) · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 6 mi from South Floral Park

Male/DOB 4/5/2023

Read more about Chirop

Chirop is a sweetheart with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He came to ACC after being found abandoned in an apartment building hallway. The shelter environment was overwhelming for him, and he was quickly placed on the at-risk list for euthanasia. Since being rescued, he's blossomed into the sweetest, most affectionate boy and is learning every day that people can be trusted. Chirop is a world-class cuddle bug who loves curling up on your lap or stretching out on your chest for a nap. Because he was neutered later in life, he sometimes shows his affection by humping soft blankets or pillows. It's simply one of his quirky habits and is not associated with aggression. When he's not snuggling, Chirop is all about playtime! He'll happily chase his favorite spring toy across the room or go into full hunter mode with a ⁰wand toy. He's endlessly curious, loves following his people from room to room, and will greet you at the door with an enthusiastic chorus of meows after you've been away. Chirop would thrive in a calm, patient home with someone who is around often and willing to let him settle in at his own pace. He can be a little shy when meeting new people and is still learning that hands are friends, not something to swat at. While he enjoys affection, he prefers not to be held for long periods and is happiest when he can choose when to cuddle. Although he hasn't been tested with other cats, we think he could do well in a home with a feline companion if given a slow, proper introduction. If you're looking for a playful, chatty, affectionate companion who just needs a little time to show his true self, Chirop may be your perfect match.

11. Nori

Kitten (7 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 6 mi from South Floral Park

Hi, I'm Nori!

My foster mom says I'm the sweetest little soul you'll ever meet. I'm a gentle tuxedo girl with a heart as soft as my fur. I may not be the loudest kitten in the room, but I have a special way of making people feel loved.

One of my favorite things to do is quietly curl up beside my foster mom. I don't need to be in the spotlight—I just love being close to my people, purring away to let them know how happy I am. If you're looking for a calm, affectionate companion who will melt your heart with quiet cuddles, I might be your perfect match.

Read more about Nori

Don't let my angelic personality fool you—I still have plenty of playful kitten energy! Wave a wand toy in front of me, and I'll happily chase, leap, and pounce until it's time for my next cuddle session.

I'm the perfect mix of gentle, playful, and loving. All I need now is a forever family with whom I can share my purrs, cuddles, and sweet little heart. Female/DOB: 3/5/26

13. Newton

Male · Tabby · 6 mi from South Floral Park

DOB: 12/31/25. Male

Read more about Newton

Newton is a “Happy Wobbler”! He is a little cautious but very playful. He was born with a condition called Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH) which is known as “Wobbly Cat Syndrome”. He has a very mild case; it is a non-progressive neurological condition that affects his balance. It isn’t an illness, does not cause Newton pain, and is not contagious. He is just a little off-balance sometimes! Because of his CH, certain concessions need to be made in the home - no stairs , sharp edges, leaving Newton on a bed which he may jump off and get hurt. His foster mom will be able to tell you more and answer any questions! Newton would love a home with lots of rugs/carpets to help Newton keep his grip. We hope to find a family who sees that being “wobbly” just means having a little extra character! An ideal family for Newton would have experience with special needs cats and perhaps have a playful, young cat already in the home.

***Newton is a Broadway SUPERSTAR! Bebe Neuwirth fell in love with him at NYC's Broadway Barks this weekend and brought him onstage!! He did great!!

14. Kimchi

Kitten (4 months 3 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 6 mi from South Floral Park

Male/DOB: 3/5/26

Hi, I'm Kimchi, a sweet gray and white lovebug with the cutest little gray spot under my chin—it's my signature look!

I'm an affectionate kitten who loves spending time with my people, but I'm also always ready for playtime. My favorite toys are wand toys, and I can leap, pounce, and chase them for hours. When I'm not busy showing off my acrobatic skills, you'll probably find me wrestling and playing tag with my sisters, Nori, Tofu, Miso, and Boba.

Read more about Kimchi

Because I've grown up surrounded by my siblings, I'd love a home with another playful feline friend to keep me company. If you don't already have a kitty at home, one of my sisters would make the perfect partner for me!

If you're looking for a kitten who's equal parts cuddly, playful, and adorable, I just might be your perfect match. I can't wait to meet my forever family!

17. Pagoda

Adult (2 years 1 month) · Female · Domestic Short Hair · 13 mi from South Floral Park

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.

Read more about Pagoda

Pagoda is FeLV+ and needs to be adopted as a single cat or with another feline leukemia positive companion. Cats that are FeLV+ can live normal and healthy lives when provided with quality care such as a balanced diet and yearly wellness exam, however most likely their lifespans will be shorter than other cats. We’d be happy to talk more about this!

18. Venom

Adult (1 year) · Male · Domestic Short Hair · 13 mi from South Floral Park

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).

Read more about Venom

Venom started out shy and nervous about his new surroundings, but never hissed or bit. We quickly learned he is motivated by Churu treats and chin scratches. He can still be a bit skittish around loud sounds (and he is deeply distrusting of our ceiling fan), but with time to explore he has now settled into life as a very cozy couch cat. Venom loves to spend his days napping in the sun, meowing at mealtime, annihilating his mouse toy, and requesting head rubs. He will gladly follow you all around the house just to hang out.

Venom is comfy around new adults, he would definitely be happy in a quiet, calm, and loving home.

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

19. Affogato & Bomboloni

Kitten (2 months 24 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair · 13 mi from South Floral Park

Bomboloni is an adorable sweet and adventurous little kitten who loves to play, be pet and massaged, and is really chill as soon as she warms up to the environment. She is friendly and curious and amazing at catching any toy. She spends most of her day cuddled next to me, playing with her sister, discovering things, and purring a lot!

Affogato is an adorable sweet little kitten who loves to play as well! It takes her a little longer than Bomboloni to warm up to an environment but once she does she is just as fast and curious! She also loves to be pet and purrs a ton.

They both are the cutest little pair! They eat and drink very well, are always super clean, litter box trained 100%, and play together really well. They are both very happy cats.

Please note they are too young to be altered. We will schedule this with an adopter when the time comes.

20. Cannoli & Studio

Kitten (2 months 29 days) · Domestic Short Hair · 13 mi from South Floral Park

Meet Cannoli & Studio

Cannoli and Studio are a playful, affectionate seven-week-old bonded pair looking for a home together. Although they aren’t siblings, they’ve become a lovely little team and are ready to find a family of their own.

Cannoli is a beautiful white kitty with distinctive markings. She’s a little more cautious than Studio and likes to take her time getting comfortable, but she’s sweet, cuddly and loves affection once she feels safe.

Studio is a handsome tabby boy with plenty of playful energy. He’s curious, outgoing and always ready for a game, but he’s just as happy snuggling up for cuddles and climbing into a welcoming lap.

Read more about Cannoli & Studio

Both kittens are super playful and affectionate, with a lovely mix of kitten mischief and cuddly moments. They enjoy each other’s company and are just as happy playing together as they are settling in for some lap time.

At just twelve weeks old, they have plenty of growing and learning ahead of them. They’ll thrive with a loving adopter who can give them a safe environment, lots of playtime and the patience to let their personalities develop.

Adopting a cat in South Floral Park

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.
