These are the cats that are on NYC ACC's "Emergency Cat Placement List" If not placed, it is highly likely the cats will be killed. Emergency placement animals are posted three times a week, on the evenings of Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday at 6:00PM and remain viewable for 42 hours. For more information and for more details on the cats listed, please visit https://newhope.shelterbuddy.com/Animal/List Status updates for previous emergency placement cats can be found here - https://www.nycacc.org/adoption/emergency-placement-outcomes/ Pledging - Rescues depend on donations to help animals in their care with medical and behavioral issues so your dollars support their ability to help ACC animals every day. Pledges are a promise that you will donate that amount if a cat is saved. You make a comment with your amount pledged - such as "$5" - and take note of the animal's location, A #, Kill list date (if there is one), and what you pledged. Then, if we receive any information from an approved rescue group that they have "pulled" (rescued) the cat from the ACC, we will post an update, along with a donation link, to fulfill your pledge.

Awesome, now please promote the cats more!😼

Whiplash was picked up by recently. We TNR'd him last year as part of a project with 10 other cats but he's been dealing with some dental issues. They got him into the this morning and the vets noticed he's also suffering from entropion, a painful condition in which the eyelids curl inward and scratch the corneas. Whiplash actually had entropion surgery back when we first trapped him but it looks like he needs another round. Entropion often needs multiple sessions; it's rare we get a chance to work on a feral a second time. It's great they can address both issues at once but it drives up the costs even more. We could really use some help paying off his bills (for the cat cafe clinic, plus the vet who initially diagnosed him and holding fees). Please check out his fundraiser and help him get to feeling better! The link is also in our bio.

**UPDATE** - Joey was pulled from the shelter by Frankie’s Fund For Feline Care and Rescue ❤️ You can honor your pledges and donate to Joey’s care at https://frankiesfund.org/donate/

Tragic and infuriating. If you want to make a pledge for Joey that will help his rescuer with follow up veterinary care, you can make a comment on the NYC Urgent Cats post. If they find out which rescue pulls him from the shelter they will post the contact there. If we find out we will post here as well.

***Pulled by Frankie's Fund For Feline Care and Rescue***

***RETURN*** Photos on thread from 2019 when he was adopted and now on return ☹

A volunteer Writes:
Joey looks like a stuffed toy eaten by moths….Joey is not a stuffed toy, he is a live senior who once upon a time was a handsome cat anyone would have loved to have as a pet. Joey was surrendered to us as he would not accept his family’s new arrival, a kitten, I bet quite cute like they usually are. Joey came massively underweight to the care center, utterly matted at a point that a decent grooming could not be done without hurting Joey’s skin (we did not do that….). Being a senior, he has medical issues like a heart murmur, serious dental disease, some visual problems and renal insufficiency. The good news is that he has a great appetite, is gaining weight and is not anymore the grumpy gpa he was understandably upon arrival. Yes, Joey is a very loveable chap who knows his friends! We are all rooting for him and hope for a safe, caring and loving home that will give him the peace, respect and love he so deserves. Joey would love to meet you!
Check out his lovely video.

Bushwick Bark does so much more for the community than host our weekly adoption events! 😻😻😻😻😻

As you all know we are HUGE animal rescue advocates. So today we just dropped off a big donation to the brand new rescue facility that just opened on the Ridgewood/Bushwock border! A shelter/resource like this is loooong overdue in our community, and the folks we met there today were so friendly and helpful. Please folks always remember there are SOOO many dogs and cats who need a loving home. Always
