Founded in 2010, Brooklyn Animal Action Inc is an all-volunteer, foster-based rescue network dedicated to improving the lives of animals in New York City. The organization rescues and rehomes adoptable cats, facilitates Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs, and provides community outreach, education, and advocacy. Operating without a physical shelter, they have placed thousands of cats into permanent homes.
Brooklyn Animal Action Inc serves Brooklyn, New York City, and the NY/NJ/CT tri-state area and has adoption fees starting from $200.
Applicants must be at least 18, be the primary caregiver, and live in or near New York, New Jersey or Connecticut. Kittens under one year must be adopted in pairs or into a home with a young, playful cat or dog. Applicants must provide personal, professional and veterinary references, along with proof that existing pets are spayed or neutered and vaccinated. A virtual home visit checks for secure window screens and toxic plants.
Submit an online adoption application, complete personal and professional reference checks (including a vet reference for current or recent pet owners), undergo a brief virtual home visit to ensure window screens and pet safety, and arrange to pick up the cat within one week of approval.
Adoption fees are $200 for adult cats, $225 for kittens, and $250+ for special breeds, which covers vetting such as spaying/neutering, vaccinations, microchipping, flea treatment, deworming, and FIV/FeLV testing.
No, Brooklyn Animal Action Inc is a foster and volunteer network without a physical facility, caring for animals in foster homes throughout the community.
Kittens under one year of age must be adopted with another kitten unless the adopter already has a young, playful cat or dog at home.
Applicants must live in or near the New York, New Jersey, or Connecticut tri-state area and arrange pickup within one week of approval.
Brooklyn Animal Action does not take direct owner surrenders as rescues are overextended, but offers guidance and resources to help owners safely rehome their cats independently rather than surrendering or abandoning them.
