New Video: Meet Monty!

Monty came to us with a bad tail injury that required surgical amputation—but as you can see in the video, it didn't dampen his playful, loving spirit. Want to adopt Monty? Please call the Animal Placement department at (212) 876-7700, ext. 4120, and come on down to meet him.

A special thanks to ASPCA volunteer Debbie Rodriguez for making us this cute video!

New Cat Videos: Meet Pebbles and Princess

Pebbles is a 3-1/2 year old male cat -- handsome with his gray body and white markings. Pebbles can occasionally be a little feisty, but he loves people. He is looking for an adopter who has had cats before and can read feline body language. Pebbles would do best in a household with kids 13 years and up. To learn how to adopt Pebbles, visit www.aspca.org/animals.



Princess is a gorgeous long-haired black and white cat. This eight year old cat is a very loving girl and very much enjoys petting and stroking. Ear scratches are of course also most welcome. She enjoys playing with dangling toys, especially cat dancers and toy mice. Princess is a little tired of being passed by because of her age, since she knows she is hardly even middle aged yet and has many affectionate years ahead of her. To learn how to adopt Princess, visit www.aspca.org/animals.

New Video: Meet Reese

Reese is a 1 1/2-year-old Rottie who was rescued by our Humane Law Enforcement agents from a dreadful situation. But this young gal doesn't hold any grudges. She loves everyone she meets. Reese is very energetic. She needs lots of exercise, and adores jumping up and mouthing people. (She needs an owner who will teach her that this puppy-like behavior is not appropriate.) And Reese is very, very eager to learn! She knows sit, down, stay and rollover. She needs to continue her training classes, so that she can mature into an upstanding canine citizen. Reese is quite the busy body--always very curious about everything. She needs a very active, experienced owner who will give her lots of exercise and who wants to train her.

New Video: Meet Seneca

The Roman philosopher and playwright Seneca (4 B.C.-31 A.D.) believed that reason and virtue, in accordance with the properties of nature, are the basis for a good life.

The New York City cat Seneca (born 1996) believes that back scratches and head rubs, in accordance with the properties of falling asleep in your lap, are the basis for a good life....

“It’s safe to say that the only thing these two have in common is the name,” says David Benson, ASPCA Cares, of the beautiful creamsicle-colored male cat who was brought to our 92nd Street headquarters by a Humane Law Enforcement officer. “Still, we can call Seneca a thinking person’s cat, as he is more than willing to fall sound asleep in your lap while you work diligently away at great matters of philosophy and art.”

New Video: Meet Sweet Pea

TWO-LEGGED WONDER YEARNS FOR A LOVING HOME!!!! Here at the ASPCA, we all agree that Sweet Pea is an absolute doll. This 4-year old pit mix was part of a cruelty investigation by the Humane Law Enforcement department. When her owners dropped Sweet Pea off at a shelter, she was thin, filthy, and unable to walk on her hind legs. HLE officers heard about her, and brought Sweet Pea to the ASPCA, where our wonderful vets could attend to her needs. As a result of her sad past, Sweet Pea suffers from hind leg paralysis, causing her to walk mainly on her front legs. (Oh, but she has strong front legs and loves to drag herself around!) Because of her strong will to live...and love...she was custom-fitted with a cart (donated by Eddie's Wheels of Shelbourne, MA). Watch the video to see Sweet Pea zoom around!

New Video: Meet Isabella

Isabella was abandoned at a city shelter, and now faces more challenges.

Isabella is a 12-year old gorgeous Shetland Sheepdog mix. She was adopted from the ASPCA back in 1995. We recently discovered that she'd been abandoned at the city shelter. The ASPCA never abandons the animals we adopt out, so we brought Isabella back to us.

Isabella has a small malignant tumor in the back of her throat—fortunately, radiographs did not reveal that the disease has metastisized. As surgery or other treatment is not available, her cancer is likely to recur in as little as 3-6 months.

Isabella needs a special home to help her through her difficult time. We hope that some good soul will give Isabella a loving home for whatever amount of time is left to her.
