New York (CBSNewYork)  CBSNewYork.com and 1010 WINS have teamed up with Animal Care Centers of New York City to let you know about some of the adoptable animals looking for loving homes in the city’s shelters, and, where ACC’s mobile adoption units are headed with even more great pets.

She will need plenty of rugs for traction so that she can show off her ‘Bunny 500s’ and binkies.” Meet Yuki at ACC’s Manhattan Care Center, 326 E. 110th Street. Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is the only open-admissions animal shelter in New York City and takes in approximately 30,000 animals every year. ACC’s  three Care Centers in Manhattan (326 East 110th Street), Brooklyn (2336 Linden Boulevard), and Staten Island (3139 Veterans Road West) are open for adoptions 12pm-8pm Monday thru Friday, and 10am-6pm Saturdays and Sundays.

Bino absolutely loves toys and really puts on a show when he plays with them. He blissfully hits himself in the face with stuffies as he shakes them, sometimes likes to carry a toy with him for our entire walk, and is known to do the froggie-legged sprawl with a tennis ball between his paws to admire.” Meet this approximately three-year-old cutie at ACC’s Brooklyn Care Center, 2336 Linden Boulevard. Alice (A1106095) available for adoption at ACC’s Manhattan Care Center, 326 E. 110th Street. (Photo Credit: Animal Care Centers of NYC) Alice (A1106095) “Alice’s personality is an open book,” notes Alice’s foster caregiver. “She is so very gentle…. a happy, outgoing cat who greets new people warmly, wants to be part of any group that congregates, and delights in a romp around the house for exercise every so often. It was a pleasure to be a grandma to her kittens, since she was a doting mom who couldn’t stop licking them and catered to their every need. With my dog, Alice was cautious at first, but easily came to accept her as a member of the family.” Meet Alice at ACC’s adoption event at the Hell’s Kitchen Flea Market on Saturday (details below) or, if she’s not adopted there, at ACC’s Manhattan Care Center, 326 E. 110th Street. If you’re interested in one of the animals featured here, email ACC’s Adoption team at adoption@nycacc.org with the animal’s name and “A#”, or head directly to the Care Center where the animal is located. Please note, animals featured here may already be placed by the time you arrive, but there are hundreds of great cats, dogs, and rabbits looking for loving homes every day!
