Story
Oaxaca, adopted in May 2017 from Animal Care Centers of New York while being fostered in home by KittenBnB in Chelsea, NY (shelter name: Pear) is a 7 year old indoor cat that celebrates a birthday in February 2025. We have to rehome Oaxaca at the advice of my daughter's pulmonologist as her lungs are being compromised. Oaxaca will always come for butt scratches and enjoys hanging out on the back of your chair while you work at your desk or are on a Zoom call. He is very independent and entertains himself. His favorite is any small toy he can toss in the air with his mouth then bunny kick. Oaxaca enjoys glasses of ice water and burrowing under blankets. Oaxaca will roam the apartment after everyone is asleep to make sure were are safe before he settles down. He will never eat or beg for human food. He doesn't shed much and stands about 36-40 inches when on hind legs. He is bonded to his brother Agave and prefer they are rehomed together.

Story
Cedric's feeling sad because after 3 years living with a family--he was originally adopted as a kitten--he was returned when the daughter developed allergies. But this handsome tabby is keeping his paws crossed that he'll find a new, permanent home with someone who'll appreciate his funny, chill personality. His foster tells us he's  affectionate and patient by nature, and he absolutely adores water--he likes to sit in the shower after it’s been used (we suspect he's part seal) and when he's in the mood, he'll stop by to let you brush him and will snuggle up with you on the couch or bed. However, like so many cats, he does not like to be picked up. Cedric warms up to new people quickly and enjoys napping by his person, in sunny spots or curled up in the closet, and he'd do best in a quiet home as an only pet.   ##933908##

Story
Before he was rescued, Clyde was struggling to survive on the street in the Bronx. Now that he's safe, this one-year-old is so grateful and he's just the sweetest guy! He's very smart and active--he needs to be played with at least twice a day and have lots of toys to stimulate him--and he also loves to look out the window and sunbathe. Even though he's not a huge cuddler, he will jump on the couch or bed to be near you. Because Clyde tested positive for FeLV (leukemia), he needs to be a solo cat or adopted into a home with another FeLV cat. He can also get a little rambunctious during playtime so we don't recommend a home with young children. ##2021465##
