Nylar, tortoiseshell and domestic shorthair mix

Nylar is a female tortoiseshell and domestic shorthair mix being cared for at NYC Animal Rescue Girls (NYCARG).

Nylar is the life of the party — she gets along well with dogs, cats and kids. Good news: She has already been house-trained. She's vaccinated and spayed.

Notes from Nylar's caretakers:

Nylar was rescued from a very dangerous area in Crown Heights. While shy at first, she has really come out of her shell. She loves to play, loves her catnip and loves to be petted. She's very affectionate and gets along well with other cats. We also think she could be fine adopted as a single cat.

Toby, tabby

Toby is a male tabby cat in the care of Ready For Rescue.

Toby likes to socialize, and he gets along well with other cats. He's already house-trained. Toby is already neutered and vaccinated.

Toby's current caretakers say:

Toby is an adorable, super-friendly eight-year-old silver tabby. He's cuddly and curious, and his tail is always up as he struts around the house. He purrs often. He loves playing with his catnip fish toy and loves it even more when you watch him.

Miette, Chartreux

Miette is a female Chartreux cat staying at Zanis Furry Friends ZFF, Inc.

She has mastered her house-training etiquette. She has been vaccinated and spayed.

From Miette's current caretaker:

Miette is a sophisticated lady that equally loves playtime and lounging around just looking chic. She loves meeting new people. Energetic and chill, there is no string (strap, rope, belt, power cord) she won't chase and no window she won't gaze through.

Zima, Persian

Zima is a female Persian cat in the care of Fur Real.

Zima will do best with an owner who has time to bond with her. She'll need a home free of other cats. She is sweet with small children. She's already house-trained. Zima is already spayed and vaccinated.

From Zima's current caretaker:

Meet lovely Zima, a mother cat from the streets of Qatar, who was thrown out in the rain in March 2019 with her three little kittens. She has a very laid-back personality and loves humans. She would probably be best as an only cat, so that she can focus on spending time with her humans and just chilling.
