ACC Pet Post: Meet Cindy, Evelyn And Tiger

New York (CBSNewYork) CBSNewYork.com and 1010 WINS have teamed up with the newly renamed Animal Care Centers 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 ACC's mobile adoption units are headed with even more great pets.

This week, we're featuring Cindy, Evelyn and Tiger.

Tiger (ID# A0965957 - photo above) This Tiger is a sweetie! She used to live in a home with another cat, whom she got along with. Her previous owner says she loves to play and be cuddled and picked up. Meet this friendly, affectionate feline, who's about seven years old, at ACC's Staten Island Care Center (3139 Veterans Road West).

Cindy (ID# A1030991) "Cindy is as sweet as they come," a volunteer says, adding that this approximately four-year-old beauty "loves back scratches and ear scratches. The smile it puts on her face is just infectious!" Meet Cindy at ACC's Staten Island Care Center (3139 Veterans Road West).

Evelyn (ID# A1034139) This petite bunny, about seven months old, was brought to ACC as a stray found in a park. "Her big round eyes seem to take up the entirety of her diminutive face," a volunteer notes, adding "The Dutch triangle on her face is cutely off center!" Meet Evelyn at ACC's Manhattan Care Center (326 E. 110th Street).

Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC), 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. AC&C's  three Care Centers in Manhattan (326 East 110th Street), Brooklyn (2336 Linden Boulevard), and Staten Island (3139 Veterans Road West) are open for adoptions 12pm-8pm Monday thru Friday, and 10am-6pm Saturdays and Sundays.

If you're interested in one of the animals featured here, email ACC's Adoption team at adoption@nycacc.org with the animal's name and "A#", or head directly to the Care Center where the animal is located. Please note, animals featured here may already be placed by the time you arrive, but there are hundreds of great cats, dogs, and rabbits looking for loving homes every day! You can view available animals online, and at the Care Centers, ACC Adoption Counselors will help you find the best match.

You can also meet your new best friend at ACC's Mobile Adoption Center, which travels throughout the city. (Note: dates and locations are subject to change. Information will be updated as quickly as possible.  Also check http://nycacc.org/Events.htm)
