If her photos didn’t make it clear enough, Miss Jade exudes queen energy!

Jade is 4½ years old with soft, grey fur and piercing golden eyes. She was brought to us when her family moved and couldn’t take her with them. Since then, she has been adjusting well and is ready to find her new home that is forever.

Jade has quite the personality! She is what we like to call a people-cat. She’s devoted, affectionate, and happiest when she’s the center of her human’s attention. Other cats? She says, “No, thank you.” She prefers to be the sole feline captor of your attention and will ensure you know it is well placed!

Jade is ready to grace your life with her glamour, companionship and beauty! Could you ask for more? Link to adopt:

We’re calling this one— Treat Yourself Tuesday! (Or at least, that’s what our adoptable dogs are calling it!)

While stretching their legs and having outdoor playtime, our adoptable pups also enjoy enrichment activities! These activities range from treat puzzles and balls, to lick mats and other toys that provide mental stimulation and engagement.

We love seeing these amazing dogs having fun and hope you do too!

Are you ready to make one of these treat-loving pups part of your family? Link to adoptions here:

This just in— your feed just got A LOT cuter!

Little Camilla is every bit as heart-melting as her photo shows, but her green eyes and soft grey and white fur are only part of what makes her so irresistible!

Camilla (who is the sibling of recently featured Bruno, Adrian, and Zoey) has all the makings of a lifelong companion! She is sweet, curious, and endlessly lovable. After her free-spirited playtime rounds, she loves to relax and unwind with you.

Camilla is ready to grow up with someone who adores her just as much as she’ll adore them! Is that you?

October is National Pet Wellness Month! 🐾

Regular veterinary care is one of the best gifts you can give your pet! This includes the topic of today’s video— vaccines.

Whether young or old, when you first bring home a new pet, it’s essential to schedule an initial visit with your veterinarian. This will help give you an understanding of where they are health-wise, in addition to establishing care.

Vaccine Schedule at a Glance:

🐾 Puppies & Kittens: Start at 6–8 weeks old, with boosters every 3–4 weeks until about 4 months of age.
🐾 1 Year & Older (Healthy Adults): Annual checkups + routine vaccines.
🐾 Senior Pets (10+ years): Increase visits to every 6 months with exams and bloodwork to catch issues early.

Depending on your pet’s lifestyle, your veterinarian may also recommend additional “non-core” vaccines, such as leptospirosis or kennel cough.

Preventive care is about more than vaccines; it’s about giving your pet the best chance at a long, happy, healthy life by your side!

✨ Ariel Update ✨

When we first introduced you to Ariel in June, the tiny 2-pound Yorkie-mix had just been diagnosed with a liver shunt after a sudden, unexplained illness. Weak, disoriented, and barely able to stand, she needed specialized treatment and time before she could undergo surgery.

Thanks to careful monitoring, daily care, a special diet and the dedication of our medical team, Ariel was finally ready for her procedure.

We are thrilled to share that her surgery was successful, and she has been making great progress ever since. Today, Ariel is at a normal weight, playful, and showing off her full-of-life personality as she continues to regain her strength.

While Ariel is on her way to accepting applications, we want to remind you that at HSNY, animals don’t leave our care until we are confident they’re healthy, well-adjusted and matched with the right family. Every pet deserves that chance, and we take that responsibility seriously.

Treatment for animals like Ariel requires extensive resources. If you would like to make a donation, of any amount, and be a part of her recovery journey, we will apply it directly towards her care. Thank you for following her story!

If you are interested in making a donation, please visit the link here: https://humanesocietyny.org/donate/

We would be very grateful for the support!

Finding the right vet can feel overwhelming, from rising costs to wondering if your pet will actually feel comfortable. For Kelsey and her senior pup, Dean, HSNY’s Animal Hospital was the answer.

From the convenience of being nearby to the warm welcome at the door, to the thoughtful and thorough care from our medical team, every step of their experience brought the necessary comfort and trust.

Creating this kind of environment is not something we take lightly, and thanks to our loyal clients is something we hope to continue to provide for years to come!

And the kitten fever continues! Meet Adrian!

Adrian is a handsome grey kitten with the prettiest grey-blue eyes! Like his siblings, Zoey and Bruno, whom we’ve been featuring, he is happiest when he’s getting attention, romping around, and playing with toys.

Adrian is friendly and social, but also appreciates a well-earned nap! His fun and bright personality precedes him, and he’s ready to find a great family who will continue to help him learn and grow!

Has Adrian won your heart?

How can you recognize anxiety in your dog or cat?

Our Director of Animal Behavior and Training, Bill Berloni, reminds us that the first step in recognizing abnormalities in your pet is to know their “normal.” If you notice changes in their baseline, it is important not to brush it off.

These changes could range from becoming extra quiet, unusually loud, destructive, restless, or just not themselves. These changes can signal anxiety or even an underlying medical issue.

You are the best judge of what’s outside of your pet’s typical behavior. When you see something that doesn’t align with their typical, reach out to your veterinary provider!

Who doesn’t love a nap with a view? Adoptable Casey and Jerry sure do!

Here’s to Window Watching Wednesday at HSNY! Our adoptable animals enjoy sunbeams, NYC skyline views, and enrichment spaces designed for play, socializing, rest, and relaxation.

Here’s to cat naps with a view, and to the hope that their next great napping spot is in a loving home of their own!

Little Bruno would like to introduce himself!

Bruno is a sweet and inquisitive grey and white kitten with mesmerizing blue eyes. And if his baby blues look a little familiar— it’s because he’s Zoey’s brother! (We shared Zoey on 9/9!)

Like his sister, Bruno is irresistible: full of bright personality, kitten curiosity, and a zest for fun. He’s learning the ropes of cathood one pounce at a time and is enjoying every bit of it!

Bruno is hoping for an engaging family that can continue to teach him as he grows. Most of all, he dreams of a lasting, loving home for a lifetime!

Is this sweet kitten the boy for you? (If you can’t adopt, feel free to share this sweet guy to your feed!)

On this Elephant Appreciation Day, we are inspired by their compassion and protective nature to those they are close to.

Video and caption below from

“In a touching moment caught on camera, elephants rush to protect their caregiver as rain begins to fall. These gentle giants show just how deeply they can bond with humans, standing close together and shielding the person who looks after them. It’s a reminder that animals, too, can express gratitude affection, and loyalty in ways that truly move us. Watching this scene feels like witnessing pure love in action.”

Pumpkin season is here! Many pet parents wonder— should you add pumpkin to your dog’s diet?

Pure, 100% pumpkin (in moderation) can sometimes support digestion thanks to its fiber and nutrients. But before scooping it into your dog’s bowl, it is important to check with your veterinarian. In many cases, your dog’s food may already provide everything they need nutritionally.

And a crucial distinction: please, never give pumpkin pie filling or pumpkin pie to your dogs. If you see the word “pie” on the can’s label, definitely avoid it.

These foods often contain milk, sugar, spices (like cloves and allspice), and even artificial sweeteners like xylitol, all of which can be very dangerous for dogs.

Stick to plain pumpkin only, and always ask your vet before making changes to your dog’s diet!
