Meet Portico, our resident calico cutie! Get ready to fall in love at first sight with this independent beauty!
When Portico first arrives in a new home, she should be given space and time to get comfortable. Moving into new environments and meeting new people can initially be a little overwhelming for her. Portico has a strong sense of curiosity, but she can also be reserved, so offering her tasty treats and toys to play with can help build her confidence.
Once Portico settles in and gets to know you, she is simply the purr-fect companion who loves to be near her people! You will usually find her napping nearby or following you around the house. When you talk softly to her, she will even respond with cute little meows! Portico may always be a bit shy when meeting new people, but she’s a real sweetheart and will flourish in a loving and patient home.
- Portico would probably do best in a home with teens and up.
- Adopters should use a slow approach and avoid forced interactions with Portico.
- An Admissions and Placement Specialist can give you tips on how to set Portico up for success in your home!

*The ASPCA Adoption Center encourages a $150 suggested adoption fee when adopting an animal. This suggested adoption fee allows the ASPCA to continue our lifesaving work and help even more animals in need. We are grateful for any and all amounts given at the time of adoption.*
For more information on adopting from the ASPCA, please visit www.aspca.org/adoptionsteps.

**The ASPCA is committed to prioritizing the health and safety of the community, the animals in our care and our staff, and we are keeping a close eye on developments related to the COVID-19 crisis as they evolve. As such, the ASPCA Adoption Center in New York City is currently closed for in-person visitors. However, we are excited to offer remote adoptions using video conferencing! In-person meet-and-greets are also sometimes available or required for specific animals. Please check out our available cats and dogs above, and if one catches your eye, apply directly for him or her. An ASPCA Matchmaker will let you know if the animal you are interested in adopting is eligible for or requires an in-person meet-and-greet.
Please note: Adoption applications are handled in the order they are received and submitting an adoption survey does not constitute a hold or guaranteed adoption. You can expect to receive automated emails updating you on your adoption status as our Matchmakers go through applications. Thank you for your patience, and we hope you find your match!**
