ACC Weekly Pet Post: Meet Pandita, Jack and Danny Tanner!

New York (CBSNewYork) CBSNewYork.com and 1010 WINS have teamed up with 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 Pandita, Jack and Danny Tanner, and letting you know about a special "Feline Frenzy" adoption weekend, in which adoption fees for cats over six month are being waived and the fee for kittens six months and under, is reduced to $50.

Danny Tanner (ID #: A1048217 - photo above) "This bright, confident boy is very curious and active -- he wants to explore and chin absolutely everything," writes an Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC) volunteer. "He's also very interested in other bunnies, and he arrived at the shelter along with another male, so he may make a good partner for another rabbit. This bold guy is 100% fun -- fun-looking, fun to be around, and fun to watch." Meet Danny Tanner at ACC's Manhattan Care Center, 326 E. 110th Street.

Jack (ID#: A1043577) "Jack, a very handsome young lad, has put on his best tuxedo (the one with the white stripe down his nose) just to meet you," writes an Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC) volunteer. "This sweet boy with the soulful eyes is friendly, fun and just eager to please his new best friend. Please come meet him, he will just knock you out with his great personality." Meet this friendly, approximately three-year-old feline at ACC's Manhattan Care Center, 326 E. 110th Street. During the "Feline Frenzy" adoption special, ACC is waiving the adoption fees for all cats over six months old!

Pandita (ID#: A1051164) Pandita has a sweet personality that matches her sweet face! This friendly, affectionate girl is approximately two years old and ready for a new home. Meet her today at ACC's Brooklyn Care Center, 2336 Linden Blvd.
