Pet Adoption Guide
CBSNewYork.com has teamed up with the Mayor’s Alliance to feature a dozen of the top shelters and rescue groups in the city. City Critters is very pleased to be one of the rescue groups included.
Animal rescue is very expensive!
How much we can do depends on our immediate financial resources and, just as importantly, on finding excellent homes for the animals we have, in order to make room for more. If you think you can help us, please donate, volunteer or give us a call.
City Critters receives no government subsidies and no major corporate funding. We receive a few small foundation grants, but most of the high cost of rescuing, vetting and fostering our rescued animals is paid for through adoption fees and donations, and out of our own pockets.
We are a few volunteers with jobs, families, and otherwise ordinary lives. We have no office, no shelter, no paid staff. But with community support, our dedicated volunteers are still able to accomplish hundreds of miracles each year.
What we need
- Money to pay our huge bills. Any funds we receive are immediately spent on vet care, pet food, medicines and transportation. All your tax-deductible donations directly benefit animals in need.
- Adopters: We need lifelong, loving, responsible homes for our animals. We especially need adopters for adult, middle aged, older, shy, and disabled animals.
- Foster homes: Our animals live in foster care until permanent situations can be found. Can you care for one or more of our "clients" temporarily?
- Supplies: Carriers, humane traps, cages, towels, cat food, pet dishes, pet beds, scratching posts, etc.
- Volunteers to help maintain our adoption areas at PetCo and PetSmart, provide transportation, etc.
Please contact us if you can help with any of the above.
