Brooklyn Pet Adoption Agencies and Rescue Organizations All of the agencies below are part of the Mayor's Alliance for New York City's Animals (www.animalalliancenyc.org.) If you've adopted an animal from any of these organizations, volunteer at any of these organizations or just want to give a "shout out" to them, please tell us your story by emailing us at newyorktails@aol.com or sending it to New York Tails/Staten Island Tails, P.O. Box 287414, New York, NY 10128-0024. An important reminder-adopting a pet is a big decision, and so is surrendering one. Many of the agencies listed below are, unfortunately, often filled to capacity and there are times they simply do not have any space to take more surrendered pets. But all of the agencies below, however, can always use your help-and there are lots of ways to help! Volunteering your time on adoption days, providing a temporary foster home for a pet waiting for placement, donations of towels and other gently-used household items-all always welcome! (And, for those who are able to donate money, donations are usually are tax-deductible. Animal Care & Control of New York City (AC&C)

Barbara the Cat Lady is an independent rescuer working out of her apartment in Brooklyn. She has been working with abandoned animals - mostly cats - for over 40 years, doing the work and paying the expenses herself. She knows her cats very well and makes every effort to place them with people looking for just that personality. Barbara usually has between 40 and 50 cats at any one time; she hopes that her new website will result in more adoptive homes. She is working at capacity and is not looking for more cats to take in!
