Winter Storm Notice
Due to inclement weather and road closures, please note the following changes to our Receiving Center and Care Center hours:
Receiving Centers in the Bronx and Queens are closed tonight (Jan. 26). We will re-open once the roads are open to the public.
Our Staten Island Care Center will close at 8 PM tonight. Both the Manhattan and Brooklyn Care Centers will remain open throughout the night, during this weather emergency.
If you find a stray animal that you are unable to bring to the shelter directly, we ask that you consider housing the animal until the roads are open. You can report the animal to 311 or email info@nycacc.org. If you are experiencing an animal emergency, please call 911 immediately.
Stay safe, and check out these cold weather tips for animal guardians.

 Happy Tail: Early
Early (fka Storm) arrived at AC&C's Brooklyn Care Center last fall as a stray, only about 5 weeks old and 1 pound. Not yet ready for adoption, this cutie was placed in an AC&C foster home to put on some muscle and get some TLC. In December, he was adopted at the Best Friends Animal Society Super Adoption event at the Brooklyn Expo Center! And it wasn't long before he had a feline best friend himself (seen hugging Early here). Read more » |

December and 2014 Statistics
In the last month of 2014 we took in 2,015 cats and dogs, and 616 were adopted. Another 1,131 were placed with our dedicated New Hope partners, and 138 cats and dogs were returned to their owners. 200 animals were in foster (some of them may also be counted in other categories).
In December, 87 percent of the cats and dogs AC&C cared for were adopted, reunited or transferred to placement partners.
In 2014, we had 6,184 cat and dog adoptions, and 80.7 percent of cats and dogs in our care were adopted, reunited or transferred to placement partners. Nearly 1,000 animals spent time in a foster home. Help us increase adoptions of cats, dogs, and rabbits in 2015 by adopting, fostering, or encouraging others to do so! Statistics for each month--cats, dogs, and other animals--are available online toward the end of the following month.
