3 To See At ACC: Meet Sam, Mermaid and Minnie
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 Sam, Mermaid and Minnie.
Sam (A1055177 - photo above) Sam is "about the nicest bunny you'll ever meet," writes an ACC volunteer. "This guy has a gentle, sweet nature - he hunkers right down for affection when you visit with him, and if you stop he'll indicate very subtly that he'd really prefer if you continued. Sam's looks are pretty perfect too -- the gray fur of his coat is an indescribably yummy shade, and he has beautiful, shining grayish-brown eyes. This guy would be a great choice for a first-time bunny person." Meet approximately 13-month-old Sam at ACC's Manhattan Care Center, 326 E. 110th Street.
Mermaid (A1056979) This gorgeous calico kitty also has some tabby stripes, and her eyes are as striking as her coat. Mermaid is a beautiful girl with a winning purrsonality to match. Meet this approximately one-year-old lovebug at ACC's Staten Island Care Center, 3139 Veterans Road West.
Minnie (A1057148) Minnie is a very sweet, approximately two-year-old cutie who loves to give kisses! The person who'd found Minnie and brought her to ACC said she was very gentle with the children as well as the puppy in his home. Meet Minnie at ACC's Brooklyn Care Center, 2336 Linden Blvd.
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. ACC'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)
