3 To See At ACC: Meet Riley, Ikea and Iglu
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.
And, during ACC's "Race to the Right House" adoption special, running through November 8, where, when you 'elect to adopt' the adoption fee for these and other animals six months and older is $20.16.
This week, we're featuring Riley, and Ikea and Iglu:
Iglu (A1089150) Looking for a cuddly cat? Iglu is a sweet, friendly boy who loves to snuggle. And he has the most adorable white-tipped paws to hug you with! Elect to adopt this fantastic feline, who's about four years old, 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. 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.
Riley "Riley is a sweet, affectionate and mellow fellow," writes his foster mom. "He loves nothing more than to hang out at home with you. If you wander off to another room for too long, he will join you. Didn't hear him come in? He is so quiet at home that his nickname is Ninja Puppy. But there is no hiding his love for attention, and he will occasionally come over just to say 'hi,' putting his head on your leg for a petting, or putting his front legs on either side of you for a giant hug. But watch out: sometimes he rolls on his back, letting you know that what he really wants is a belly rub." Riley also got along well with the two cats in his foster home! Meet and elect to adopt this adorable, approximately nine-month-old pup at ACC's Manhattan Care Center, 326 E. 110th Street.
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.

You can view available animals online, and at the Care Centers, ACC Adoption Counselors will help you find the best match.
