DO NOT call and say you are adopting unless you truly intend on physically going to the shelter to adopt the cat. It ties up phones lines and is a waste of the staff's time to explain the adoption procedure over the phone for someone who is purposely not going to show up. They need every free second of their time to answer calls, assist actual adopters, process intakes, and care for the animals. More importantly, they will note the cat’s file that an adopter is en route which will prevent an actual adopter from saving the cat. This is considered a "fake adoption" hold and that is how cats fall through the cracks and end up being killed.

Manhattan - 311 (212-639-9675 if outside of NYC) (hit 0 for operator, do not leave a message. May need to hit 0 a few times at the end of each cycle to keep their phone ringing)! Also email [email protected] but ONLY if serious about adopting and ONLY if you are able to GO TO the shelter in-person. Please do not email for status updates... the only thing you will accomplish is spamming their in boxes and causing REAL adopter emails to go un-noticed.

ONLY EMAIL IF YOU CAN GO AND ADOPT IN PERSON. Include the following on you email as well:

Oh Dear! This story breaks my heart!!!

***URGENT***

This poor kitty fell from a fourth floor window!! He suffered some scrapes and bruises, but is not seriously injured. He is SO SWEET! His previous owners brought him here as they have a new baby and could not afford to take him to the vet after his fall. Please pull this very nice kitty and get him a loving home!!
