3 To See At ACC: Meet Thea, Honey And Carrots!
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 Thea, Honey And Carrots!
Thea (A1071860- photo above) "I found Thea sitting front and center in her kennel, and when I said hello, she began to dance and do the dolphin dive, rubbing up against the door in hopes of enticing me to pet her," writes an ACC volunteer. "So I did. She is just a lovely grey tabby with a pretty white neck, soft and sweet and just waiting for someone's lap to sit in." Meet Thea at ACC's Brooklyn Care Center, 2336 Linden Boulevard. At two years old, she qualifies for ACC's July cat adoption promotion – the adoption fee for all cats one year and older is waived!
Honey (A1080001) "Honey, appropriately named, is very sweet (pardon the pun)," notes an ACC volunteer. "She wags her tail non-stop, hopping up a little in the kennel while I try to wrangle her onto my leash. Once out, she's ready to explore. Honey wants to greet everyone that passes us by, and is particularly interested in the work being done on a nearby telephone pole. She watched so intently you would think she knew what they were doing!!! :) Honey is energetic and fun to spend time with." Meet this approximately four-year-old cutie at ACC's Staten Island Care Center, 3139 Veterans Road West.
Carrots (A1075776) "This girl is super smart and has a big, rather feisty personality," writes an ACC volunteer. Carrots, about 14 months old, "craves attention and adores affection, and will protest vigorously when you leave her, thumping and shoving her nose through her cage bars." Hop on over to ACC's Manhattan Care Center, 326 E. 110th Street, to meet her.
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)
