🆘🆘 OCHO (ID 255081), 1 YO, FEMALE – IN QUEENS ACC - came into the shelter as an owner surrender on 5/21/2026, with the surrender reason stated as person circumstance- hoarding situation. 🆘🆘 😿 😿 😿 😿 ➡️TBD 7/14/26 ➡️ NEW HOPE PARTNER RESCUE ONLY ➡️ ONLY A BABY – JUST BEGINNING LIFE ➡️ 🆘🆘 1ST Chance on Emergency Placement List – VERY URGENT – 🆘🆘 😱🔥🔥😱 ➡️ 53 DAYS IN SHELTER – TOO LONG – TIME IS RUNNING OUT ➡️ OCHO IS ON THE EPL FOR BEHAVIORAL REASONS - She is not thriving in the care center and continues to display distance-increasing behavior when approached for interactions. She has not warmed up despite staff using treats to build a positive association. This designation often means that the cat will be given very little time for rescue/foster/adoption.🔥🔥🔥🔥 What my friends at ACC say about me: I have lived with cats in my previous home. I have potential behavior challenges that staff will address with you when you meet me. I'm an independent kitty who likes to do my own thing. I am looking for a home with a patient person. I can be slow to adjust to new environments. I prefer to take things at my own pace. I will flourish in a calm environment and a low-traffic home. I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe. I'm sensitive and shy. I'll need extra help from you. I would do best in a home with only adult humans. I'll need daily interaction with you as I get used to my new life. ❤️ 😻❤️ 😻❤️ 😻 NEEDS OUT OF SHELTER ASAP – Please RT or pledge, if you can, to save this little one. @AdamsPaulGrimke 💔😿🙏Thank you

🆘🆘 YOSEMITE (ID 250752), 2 YO, MALE – IN MANHATTAN ACC - came into the shelter as a stray on 3/28/2026. 🆘🆘 😿 😿 😿 😿 🆘🆘 UPDATE – UPDATE – WE HAVE JUST LEARNED THAT YOSEMITE CAME IN WITH HER BONDED HOUSEMATE AND FRIEND -EVERGLADES (ID 250751) – RECENTLY REMOVED FROM EPL - LET’S KEEP THEM TOGETHER🆘🆘 ➡️TBD 7/14/26 ➡️ TOO LOW ON PLEDGES TO STIMULATE RESCUE INTEREST ➡️🆘🆘 10TH Chance on Emergency Placement List – 10 TIMES IS ALMOST UNPRECEDENTED – AND SHELTER AT CAPACITY - ALL HANDS ON DECK - NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT/HELP YOSEMITE - HIGHEST EU/SILENT KILL RISK- VERY LIKELY LAST CALL🆘🆘 😱🔥🔥😱 ➡️ 107 DAYS IN SHELTER – TOO LONG – TIME IS RUNNING OUT ➡️ YOSEMITE IS ON THE EPL FOR BEHAVIORAL REASONS - He is not thriving in the care center and continues to display distance-increasing behavior when approached for interactions. He has not warmed up despite staff using treats to build a positive association. This designation often means that the cat will be given very little time for rescue/foster/adoption.🔥🔥🔥🔥 What my friends at ACC say about me:] I came in with my friend Everglades 250751 and would love to find a home with them! I'm an independent kitty who likes to do my own thing. I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe. I can be slow to adjust to new environments. I prefer to take things at my own pace. Yosemite tolerates attention and petting but appears fearful or stressed in the shelter. He may be a little more independent and may need time to warm up to his new home. We recommend this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents. Due to the behavior shown, he may not be a great fit for young children. Any home with older children prepared to adopt this cat should conduct a thorough interaction and endeavor to monitor this cat around their children to prevent these behaviors from being reinforced. A volunteer writes: Yosemite was found sitting frozen on a blanket with other cats in the park. Too scared to move or enjoy the food that had been left out for them, it seems like this group was all just hoping for the best but expecting much less. Fortunately for Yosemite and company, things started moving in the right direction when someone scooped them up and brought them to us. It's unlikely Yosemite interpreted this as a best case scenario because the shelter really does have quite a lot going on, maybe even too much for a quiet guy like Yosemite, but we've been working to convince him that sometimes the best comes in steps and even baby steps at that. Crouching in the back of his cubby, he didn't seem very interested in the toys, treats, or pets I had to offer, but I have to believe that Yosemite is only waiting for his chance. Another volunteer writes: Yosemite more recently decided to come out of his shell. He is sits more and more on his balcony or rests in his "living room". He is definitively interested in seeing people but has still a very hard time to trust us, even those he has seen the faces again and again. Yosemite likes to play though as you can see on his photos. He enjoys catnip toys and feather wands. He occasionally will accept a brief pet on his head when he samples treats. The Yosemite you see is likely not the real Mc Coy. The young guy needs to be given a chance and may be it could be with you!❤️ 😻❤️ 😻❤️ 😻 NEEDS OUT OF SHELTER ASAP – Please RT or pledge, if you can, to save this little one. @AdamsPaulGrimke @mehser12 💔😿🙏Thank you PIC – EVERGALDES, YOSEMITE






🆘🆘 ELOISE (ID 257991), 1 YO, MALE – IN MANHATTAN ACC - came into the shelter as an agency on 6/24/2026. 🆘🆘 😿 😿 😿 😿 ➡️TBD 7/14/26 ➡️ ONLY A BABY – JUST BEGINNING LIFE ➡️ MEDICAL PRIORITY – NEEDS MORE CARE AND ATTENTION THAN THE SHELTER CAN PROVIDE – 😱😱😱 ➡️ TOO LOW ON PLEDGES TO STIMULATE RESCUE INTEREST 🆘🆘 7th Chance on Emergency Placement List – ON BORROWED TIME – SHELTER AT CAPACITY- NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT/HELP ELOISE - HIGHEST EU/SILENT KILL RISK –🆘🆘 😱🔥🔥😱 ➡️ 19 DAYS IN SHELTER – TOO LONG – TIME IS RUNNING OUT ➡️ ELOISE IS ON THE EPL FOR MEDICAL REASONS -He has very painful gum disease, and he gets agitated if you go near his mouth. He is eating some canned food, but he is underweight and unthrifty. He may need full-mouth, teeth extractions and anti-inflammatory medications. He needs care and attention that we cannot provide. EATING ISSUES ARE A DEATH SENTENCE IN SHELTER. This evaluation/diagnosis means that ELOISE will be given very little time for rescue/foster/adoption.🔥🔥🔥🔥 Eloise tolerates attention and petting but appears fearful or stressed in the shelter. He may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to his new home. ❤️ 😻❤️ 😻❤️ 😻 NEEDS OUT OF SHELTER ASAP – Please RT or pledge, if you can, to save this little one. @AdamsPaulGrimke @mehser12 💔😿🙏Thank you


🆘🆘 ANGEL (ID 256308), 5 YO, MALE – IN QUEENS ACC - came into the shelter as an owner surrender on 6/4/2026, with the surrender reason stated as animal health - will need ongoing vet care. 🆘🆘 😿 😿 😿 😿 ➡️TBD 7/14/26 ➡️ 🆘🆘 1ST Chance on Emergency Placement List – VERY URGENT – 🆘🆘 😱🔥🔥😱 ➡️ 39 DAYS IN SHELTER – TOO LONG – TIME IS RUNNING OUT ➡️ ANGEL IS ON THE EPL FOR BEHAVIORAL REASONS - He is not thriving in the care center and is deteriorating in the Adoptions room and no longer tolerates petting or handling, escalating very quickly when approached for socialization and during kennel cleaning. “Deteriorating in the Adoptions room” IS A DEATH SENTENCE IN SHELTER This designation often means that the cat will be given very little time for rescue/foster/adoption.🔥🔥🔥🔥 A volunteer writes: Collecting his information the best way he knows how, Angel tucks himself into a soft little loaf and tries to piece it all together. I commend him for his efforts and recognize their value, even if, maybe especially if, they fall on the quieter side of the spectrum. In Angel's life before the shelter, he took his time warming up to new people but would lay gently once he did. He looks like a big teddy bear, but please don't let those fluffy cheeks fool you as getting used to shelter life hasn't been easy with all the new sights and sounds. Angel is FIV+ and has some medical needs that will require follow up, but he hopes someone will notice him and share a little chance his way. ❤️ 😻❤️ 😻❤️ 😻 NEEDS OUT OF SHELTER ASAP – Please RT or pledge, if you can, to save this little one. @AdamsPaulGrimke 💔😿🙏Thank you



Last month, Susan Collins voted to hand ICE another $40 billion of your tax dollars. They just killed one of her constituents.
