Sean Casey Animal Rescue
4.9
(10)
"Sean Casey for sure! Got my pup here. They update their website daily with adoptable pets. Go there in person and be prepared to bring your best friend home with you. Super easy process in comparison to some of the other agencies in NY."
"Sean Casey Animal Rescue, ACC, or a local rescue in your neighborhood. If you go on Instagram, you should be able to find them."
"I'll add another vote for Sean Casey."
"Definitely Sean Casey."
"Sean Casey Animal Rescue
153 East 3rd Street
Brooklyn, N.Y.
(718) 436-5163"
"I got my kitty from Sean Casey as well. I think it was $150 for a kitten. I was going every week to see if anyone was up for adoption since they don’t hold. I recommend getting there a few minutes before they open so you have an early shot at adopting someone!"
"Another vote here for Sean Casey! Got my best boy there. They do move fast so be ready"
"Sean Casey is great. Also Itty Bitty City Kitties"
"Got my kitty from Sean Casey in Brooklyn. Saw him for the first time at the shelter, immediately completed an application on site, and took him home less than an hour later."
"My cat is also from Sean Casey. Their adoption process is super fast (like 45 minutes total). I honestly don’t think they screen people enough, but it gets the animals out fast."

Cat Adoption Team
5.0
(6)
"Cat adoption team in Sherwood was great! I’ve adopted 2 adult cats over the years and they have been great!"
"Seconding Cat Adoption Team, and applauding you for adopting adult cats! I adopted both my cats when they were 2-3 years old from CAT, and they are perfect."
"Cat Adoption Team in Sherwood! We have lots of adult cats and will take the time to answer your questions. Great organization that I’ve volunteered with for the last four years."
"Is worth the drive."
"We adopted a six-month-old kitten from Cat Adoption Team last December."
"They do good work."
#3
NYC ACC
5.0
(5)
"I got my furball from NYCACC and the only reason I wasn’t able to take him home the same day was because he was a newly acquired kitten who hadn’t been neutered yet. But they always have tons of cats."
"I fostered then adopted my cat from ACC. They were very helpful and I absolutely adore my cat!"
"+1 Go to NYC ACC to adopt. There are so many cats there that would love a home."
"Yes! Every cat I know in the city came from ACC!"
"Animal care centers of NYC! My sweet four-legged fuzzy brother came from the Manhattan branch. :) (There’s a Brooklyn branch as well.)"
#4

"RSPCA on Burwood road"
"Just read that RSPCA Burwood have $50 adoptions today only"
"We have just turned up at their Yagoona main shelter in the past, filled out a form, talked to a staff worker and taken home a new member of the family all in about 2 hours."
"In my experience, the RSPCA can hand out special needs cats to get rid of them - they adopted a cat to me and my partner and not disclosing it was deaf and had specific needs."
