3 To See At ACC: Meet Angel, Dijon And Funyun!

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 Meet Angel, Dijon And Funyun.

Angel (A1067271 - photo above) An ACC volunteer describes this sweet, affectionate feline as "a real angel from heaven" who rolls on her side looking for chin rubs and purrs softly when you pet her. Meet Angel, who's approximately five years old, at ACC's Brooklyn Care Center, 2336 Linden Boulevard.

Funyun (A1065900) "Though she's on the small - and young - side, this girl has glamorous looks," notes an ACC volunteer. "She's white with black markings, including a pretty mottled pattern on her ears and a few stray beauty marks on her back. Funyun is very friendly and easy to handle. She has the curiosity and fearlessness of youth. When she's not busy exploring, she enjoys being petted." Meet this approximately 13-month-old cutie 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.
