3 To See At ACC: Meet Cammy, Gesture & Twist!

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 Cammy, Gesture & Twist!

Cammy (A1081472 - photo above) "Cammy is stunning with her green and yellow eyes," notes an ACC volunteer. "She has a personality to match, and is as friendly as she is beautiful. As soon as I opened her kitty condo door, she began purring and kneading in place, eagerly welcoming me to visit with her. Cammy was so excited to make a new friend that she got up and began head-butting and kissing my face. I fell instantly in love with Cammy -- she's so calm and sweet that it's hard not to fall for this one!" Meet Cammy, who's about one year old, at ACC's Manhattan Care Center, 326 E. 110th Street. Through July 31, ACC is waiving the adoption fees for all cats one year and older.

Twist (A1071151) "This girl is a real love sponge - she stretches right out for petting as soon as she sees you coming," writes an ACC volunteer. "She's very bright, too - if you divert your attention, she'll sit up, look at you, licking her chops and wiggling her nose, then stretch out again as if to remind you of your responsibilities." Meet adorable, approximately two-year-old Twist at ACC's Brooklyn Care Center, 2336 Linden Boulevard.

Gesture (A1076233) Gesture, about 13 months old, may take a day or two to warm up to people, but there's not a person she's gotten to know that doesn't adore her!  This pretty girl has the widest smile you'll ever see and a personality to match.  She lights up any room she walks into, and this big sweetheart would be a huge addition to any family that would have her. Bringing this sweet girl into your home is the kindest gesture you can make! Meet her at ACC's Brooklyn Care Center, 2336 Linden Boulevard.

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)
