Story
She’s adopted from a shelter when she was around 6 months old. She’s a shy cat and it takes some time to get close to. Once she’s comfortable, she’s friendly and sweet and likes to come cuddle with you on your lap. She does NOT like any other animals and gets very aggressive and scared. So you’d need to raise her alone in the household.

My son brought Sparkles home from the street. She is very friendly but unfortunately, he brought her home without my permission. She is extremely friendly, loves cuddles and likes to lounge around all day.

Story
My ex-husband and I found Sneaky in Murray Hill while she was still a baby. She had a home with us while we were still together, and once we separated she lived with me. She is very shy and calm. She prefers not to be petted but is very sweet and likes good company. I'd say it's better for people who are around most of the day at the house. Sneaky needs a kind of love that understands that she is low-key. She likes scratching more than playing so scratching posts are encouraged. Although I love her as my family, she indeed is mine, I'm unemployed and cannot keep my apartment or her any longer. I don't count on a large network here, so rehoming through friends has been impossible. I hope we get to find a loving family or individual who continues to take care of her as we did for the past 4 years.

Story
Hello, this is Leah. She was apparently born 08/02/2022. She is currently 2 years and 5 months . She was spayed 11/29/2024 This cat has been such a beautiful companion. She does not bother anyone unless its past her meal time, she will scratch the door until someone pays her attention. She is a lonely cat. Most of the time she is alone and at this time of the year she is very cold because the boiler in the building is not working properly. She barely ever takes her claws out to defend herself. I really fear she is too sweet and she will not survive outdoors. She does have her own space in my narrow little hallways where she has the smallest wall mount area and a cat rug to climb. She knows how to use her litter box but I keep it gated because she likes to roll in it when its clean.

Story
I have had Curtis for the last 7 years. He was found by the ASPCA hit by a car with a broken pelvis. He is frightened easily but once he trusts and warms up to you he is the most loving boy. He will need a dedicated adopter willing to be patient with him. Unfortunately, his mistrust of new surroundings is interfering with our new baby and we feel finding him a new home is the best option for everyone even though it breaks my heart.

Story
She's named Daisy. She is around 6 years old now. I've had her since she was 1, but I never got a real birth date/year. I have adopted her 5 and a half years ago, and ever since she's lived with me in my apartment. But sadly, I am moving out of the States, and I can't bring her with me for many reasons. Daisy is a very loving, calm and sleepy cat. She loves her bed, does not bother to wander around and cause a mess, but loves a good sofa where she can nap or observe from. She hasn't been around or played with many pets, but she has been quiet and calm in their presence when so. Eats both wet and dry food but wet is always her favorite. Loves head pets, and chin rubs. I have given her a lot of love during these years and she's become more loving herself every time. I just need her to be loved and taken care of the same way or better than I did. Daisy deserves a loving home.
