CBSNewYork And 1010 WINS Team With Animal Care Centers of NYC To Help Boost Pet Adoptions
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 Wysteria, Nala and Emmie!
Nala (A1057068 - photo above) "Nala is the quiet, mellow, shy type who just wants to cuddle and be near you," writes an ACC volunteer. "What an absolute sweetheart." Nala's previous owner says Nala has been around children and interacts with them in a gentle playful manner, and also acts the same around dogs. Meet Nala, who's about seven years old, at ACC's Staten Island Care Center, 3139 Veterans Road West.
Wysteria (A1058058) "Wysteria is a smart and curious cat who also loves petting and snuggles!" notes an ACC volunteer. Meet this affectionate and playful feline, who's approximately 13 months old, at ACC's Manhattan Care Center, at 326 E. 110th Street.
Emmie (A1054284) "This girl is truly stunning," writes an ACC volunteer, adding she's "a real sweetie too; she loves affection and has a clingy side to her." Meet approximately 13-month-old Emmie 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.

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.
