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 Bruno, Mr Edgecomb & Cosmo.

Mr Edgecomb (A1109720) "With his soft gray and white fur and cute bobbed tail, this sweet boy is reminiscent of a bunny," writes an ACC volunteer. "The world's first bunny-cat! This adorable fluff face loves head rubs, cheek rubs, and don't forget the treats. He is gentle and playful, rolling around his condo while peeking up with green soulful eyes. And when play time is over, he reaches his paw outward for more and gives an extra meow as a reminder that he prefers company." Meet "this affectionate mister" at ACC's mobile adoption event outside Petco Union Square on May 26, or (if not adopted there!) 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.

Cosmo (A1040750) "This handsome guy has a very high energy level, and is physically very strong," notes an ACC volunteer. "Cosmo loves to run and play, and is an Olympic-level jumper, so he'll need lots of highly supervised playtime. Adopting Cosmo will be a bit like adopting a puppy!" Meet this enthusiastic, approximately three-year-old athlete at ACC's Brooklyn Care Center, 2336 Linden Boulevard.

If you're interested in one of the animals featured here, email ACC's Adoption team at adopt@nycacc.org with the animal's name and "A#", or head directly to the Care Center where the animal is located.
