 ALL our cats and dogs are in the NY area but can be adopted out of state to the purrfect furever home.  In some cases, we can help transport.  Zani's al fresco Summer Adoptions  follow us on FB to find us this summer as we will try new locations to meet the needs of NYC and support the little stores:)     Kai is known for being super affectionate, friendly, huggable, very playful and loves to cuddles with everyone--no shy kitty here! Dumped by his owner at the vet's office there...! This gorgeous 2y Turkish Angora arrives in Feb but is starting to make his future furever home known now (cat, dog, kids, snuggle bunny).  Please apply if you want to advance adopt.   Facebook: Zani's Furry Friends ZFF (weekly adoption event info posted there) Twitter: zanisff  Instagram: zanisfurryfriends   Cats are spayed/neutered, UTD on age appropriate vaccines, Rabies vaxed, and microchipped.  All are in the NY/NJ area but we will adopt out of state to the purrfect home and in some cases, we can arrange transport.  Please go to our site   https://zanisfurryfriends.org   fill out an application and return to  cats@zanisfurryfriends.org   Please note: kittens must be adopted in pairs or to households with age appropriate cat(s) to ensure proper socialization and companionship.

Story
She is very affectionate ,loves to cuddle. She's had kittens so I'm adopting off her kittens as well , they was born on Jan 15. I rescued her when people scared her off to take her first liter and left her alone and scared . I’ve had her for 3 years but unfortunately I can no longer keep her due to my daughter’s asthma getting bad .

Story
Columbo is an adaptable and vibrant adult cat of about 6 years. When I first met him in an animal shelter 4 years ago he was sitting in the corner, letting a kitten play with his tail, just taking it all in. He quickly found his place in my home. He proved to be equally happy to play and be goofy, or take a nap and cuddle, or wander off and entertain himself. Columbo's main fault is that he really, really likes food and needs to have his meals portioned out. He likes to eat from my dog's food dish too, so if you have a food-possessive animal they might need to be separated during meal time. Columbo got along well with cats at the animal shelter, quickly bonded with my large dog, and likes having people around. He would do best with another pet in the home or someone who is around a lot of the day as he can get nervous left alone. He's a sweetheart, and I wish rehoming him weren't necessary, but I know he'll fit in great with another home.
