Dogs in Cars: So Hot Right Now
We all know that we should not leave living things we love in a parked car during the summer, even if it isn’t THAT hot. Many studies have been done on how fast and how hot a car can get. The studies vary slightly in terms of the exact temperature but the consensus is that […]
Happy Tails: Rex – a TRUE Inspiration
No one could fail to recognize the fact that REX was special! Fka Wyatt, he was our one and only biped rescue from Nepal. Even from the low-rez pictures and videos we received from our rescue partners overseas, we could tell that his zest for life was something to behold. The stars aligned for this […]

The ACC of NYC received more funding from the city and won grants enabling them to have more outreach programs to help people keep their cats and […]
Happy Tails: Toth – a Brave Survivor
Toth’s origin story is harrowing one yet heartwarming one. Toth is a Baladi dog from the streets of Egypt where someone deliberately doused him with acid. It was difficult to post pictures of Toth without a “Graphic Content” warning. It had to be fate that Sara came across a video of him and couldn’t help […]
Happy Tails: Girthie Gertie – Journey to Love and Weight Loss
Simone, now called Gertie, came to us from an elderly couple who could no longer care for her. She was extremely overweight. We lovingly called her “our seal.” She was so overweight it was not like a “Awww, a cute fat cat” but “OMG that can’t be good.” We were so lucky that Robin came […]
The Gift of (Cat) Fostering
Fostering a cat is a great way to give back to those in need of some help. We had adopted 2 cats from ZFF, and last year we decided to give back by fostering. Fostering cats is both challenging and rewarding. The rewards received are not financial but come in the form of snuggles from […]
