Story
Hi my name is Bex. I am looking for a new forever home. I love to be cuddled and show affection, but I also like my alone time at times. Trust though, when I need affection I love it. I don’t mind when you’re away for a little bit when you’re back I need attention, affection, and special time. I am not too picky with food. I need a lot of patience because I can be very timid at times especially by loud tones or sounds, fast moving big objects, and just new things. Once I get comfortable though I look up to you as family so please be a kind leader.

Story
When he’s not making crisps or solving crimes, Pringles aka Pringles Poirot is a world renowned conversationalist. He’s super chirpy and chatty and has decided that the indoor life is for him. He loves: head rubs chin rubs rubbing up on your legs dinner Very playful, he goes nuts for a cat dancer or bird toy. He will do anything for treats, and thinks all trips to the kitchen are about him. After being left outside to fend for himself during the blizzards of 2026, he's still working a bit on his trust in humans, but he's made amazing progress and is getting more trusting by the day! Pringles ADORES other cats. While he can be adopted as a solo, he really shines when he has a friend. He's made immediate friends with (or rather forced his friendship on) the two other cats in his foster home. Pringles is about 2 years old, neutered, vaccinated, free of fleas and parasites, and negative for FIV and FeLV. To apply to adopt, please fill out our adoption application here: https://brooklynanimalaction.org/adoption-forms/ Mention Pringles as the cat and Suse as the rescuer! April 3, 2026, 11:04 pm

Story
I’ve had kitty for 7 years. I got him from his mom when he was only 1 week old. I had to use a wet napkin to remove his poop because he still didn’t know how to pee or poop. I love this cat so much. Then I got another cat but they didn’t get alone well at the beginning but then he opened up to the new cat with no problem. Both boys. I had to give up the second cat because he wasn’t getting alone with my kitty. Now 4 uears have gone by after that. I now have a one year old and a 6 month old baby. After the kids got here, he has become very aggressive towards from but not towards me and my wife. It saddens me that I have to give him up but my kids safety means the world to me. He’s littered train, on a rare occasion he sprays outside he litter but that’s rare. He will definitely warm up to anyone who has the patience for him. He’s 7 years old
