Important Note:
NYC Urgent Cats is providing t
his prescreener as a courtesy to the rescue groups who participate on our page. By submitting this form, you authorize NYCUC to review your information and forward it to the rescue groups that are deemed appropriate for your situation. The prescreener is not an application to foster or adopt, and submitting it does not guarantee that you will be approved by a rescue group or that a particular cat will be pulled for you.
Our rescue partners will require you to fill out their own application and might want to speak with you on the phone.
Please make yourself available for the next 3-4 hours to answer requests over e-mail and phone. Tomorrow morning is too late!

If you are applying to foster or adopt, chances are greatest that a rescue group can work with you if you are in NYC or in the tri-state (NY/NJ/CT) area. If you are applying to adopt and are in the northeast (DC, DE, MA, MD, ME, NH, PA, RI, VA, VT), it will be more difficult—but might still be possible—for us to find a rescue group to work with you. If you are outside of these areas or are in another country, it is highly unlikely that you will be able to adopt a cat from NYCACC. We encourage you to adopt from your local shelter. There are animals in every state and country in need of homes.
