AC&C Weekly Pet Post: Meet Simione, Coral and Prince Royce

New York (CBSNewYork) CBSNewYork.com and 1010 WINS have teamed up with Animal Care & Control 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 AC&C's mobile adoption unit is headed with even more great pets.

This week, we're featuring Simione, Coral and Prince Royce.

Simione (ID# A1031466 - photo above) This adorable rabbit used to live in a home with a Chihuahua and young children, and her previous owner notes she likes to be pet and held, and often sits in people's laps. Meet Simione, who's about 17 months old, at AC&C's Manhattan Care Center, 326 E. 110th Street.

Coral (ID# A1031659) Coral is a friendly, active, approximately 13-month-old pup. This sweetie was brought to Animal Care & Control of NYC (AC&C) as a stray, after she'd reportedly run into a local deli. Meet Coral at AC&C's Staten Island Care Center, 3139 Veterans Road West.

Prince Royce (ID# A1030191) "Handsome Prince Royce was a little shy at first, but quickly warmed up, and soon he was clamoring for some petting and head butting!" an AC&C volunteer notes. "He is a sweet kitty who is really friendly and calm and will make a great cuddle buddy." Meet this approximately two-year-old cutie at AC&C's Manhattan Care Center, at 326 E. 110th Street.

This week, AC&C's "Mad Men" themed adoption event continues, with the adoption fee for Coral, Prince Royce and other dogs and cats seven months and older, just $20!
