As Adopt a Shelter Cat Month rolls along, we are excited to shine a light on a few cats in our care in New York City, who are all ready to find their future families! This year, we are partnering with our friends at ARM & HAMMER™ Cat Litter to get even more cats adopted. Check out these fabulous felines who are thrilled to meet you and be your new BFF!

If these cats aren’t your purr-fect match, or you don’t live in the area, you can learn more about how to make a lifesaving impact for cats in need by visiting aspca.org/catmonth!


Yuzu

This independent guy loves to play! Yuzu is looking for an adopter who will provide him with toys and playtime, and who will give him some time and space to settle into his new home. As you get to know each other, he will let you know when he’d like some attention with a gentle meow! If you enjoy sharing your couch with a good friend, visit Yuzu’s profile to learn more!

Peach

Peach is a very active kitty, and he would love to run up and down your halls, chasing after his favorite toys! He is a cat who prefers to take his time getting to know a new friend, but once he is comfortable with someone, he becomes quite affectionate. When it’s not playtime, he enjoys relaxing on a windowsill or on the couch by his people. Would you like to meet sweet Peach? Learn how by checking out his profile!

Almond

Curious Almond is a very charming lady! She enjoys spending some time on her own, but as she settles into her new life, she’ll start following her new friends around to get to know them better. A great way to build a bond with her is through playtime, as she loves chasing after wand toys. She also won’t turn down a lickable treat! Visit Almond’s profile to learn more about this gorgeous companion.

Flamingo

Flamingo is sure to stand out from the pack! This handsome guy really blossoms after getting some time to settle into a new space. He really loves getting soft pets from his favorite people. With the help of some tasty treats, you’ll become a favorite of his in no time! He also enjoys burning some energy with playtime and will always be ready to chase after a wand toy. If you’d like Flamingo to make your home his new nest, visit his profile to apply!


If you don’t live near New York City but would still like to celebrate Adopt a Shelter Cat Month with us, you can meet more adoptable cats at your local shelter. You can also visit our friends at Animal Care Centers of NYC or the Los Angeles County’s Animal Care Centers!

If this isn’t the right time to adopt, you can still make an incredible impact by becoming a foster caregiver! Staying in a foster home helps animals like these open up and show off their true colors. You can foster for the ASPCA in Columbus, OhioNew York CityLos Angeles and Weaverville, North Carolina (dog fosters only)!
