NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- CBSNewYork.com and 1010 WINS are teaming up with Animal Care & Control of New York City to let you know about some of the adoptable animals looking for loving homes in the city's shelters and where the AC&C's mobile adoption unit is headed with even more great pets.
This week, we're featuring Violet, Red Flyer and Hannah.

Red Flyer (ID#: A1027847) This handsome and friendly feline, approximately three years old, came to Animal Care & Control of NYC (AC&C) as a stray. Red Flyer is a calm, sweet cat who enjoys being pet. Meet him at AC&C's Brooklyn Care Center, at 2336 Linden Boulevard.
Hannah (ID#: A1027465) Hannah is a playful and gentle pup of about one year. An Animal Care & Control of NYC volunteer notes, "A bit shy at first meeting, she warms up quickly, happy to roll in for some hugs and kisses." Meet this sweetie at AC&C's Manhattan Care Center, at 326 E. 110th Street.
Animal Care & Control of NYC, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is the only open-admissions animal shelter in New York City and takes in approximately 30,000 animals every year.
