Who We Are

For Animals, Inc. is a local TNR (trap, neuter, return) group. We are a New York State not for profit Corporation with (501) C-3 status, staffed and operated by people with many years of experience rescuing and taking care of abandoned animals. We exist through voluntary donations and the collection of a modest adoption donation. Please consider making a donation.

What we do

The focus of our operation is a TNR program. For Animals, Inc. rescues stray and abandoned dogs and cats and then transports them to a veterinarian office where they are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, dewormed and checked for general health. Afterwards, they are fostered in a cage free environment until they are adopted into safe, loving homes.

Note: For Animals does not take in animals from the public; we are strictly a rescue organization.

Why we do it

With tens of thousands of feral cats on the streets of NYC, our focus is on TNR as an effort to humanely reduce the overall population, one colony at a time. By neutering & spaying the feral cats in the colony and adopting out friendly strays and kittens, the colony stabilizes and begins to shrink over time.

Our adoption process

To adopt one of our amazing animals, all potential adopters must follow this process:
  1. Fill out an adoption application
    2. All potential adopters must complete the application in order to ensure that we can help you find the best match for your home.
  2. Meet the Animals
    3. Once your application is approved, we will invite you to meet the animal(s) you are interested in at our shelter or foster home, or at our next adoption event.
  3. Sign the Adoption Contract and Pay the Adoption Fee
    4. There is a $100 adoption fee per animal, which covers the spay/neuter cost of your pet and allows the shelter to continue rescuing animals in need.
  4. Take Your Newly Adopted Pet Home
    5. If you hit it off, you will be able to take your new pet home at your earliest convenience. We will provide you with fact sheets about caring for your new pet and facilitating introductions with other animals in your home.
