I went to the ASPCA - NYC to adopt a cat and it was the most wonderful experience. The Volunteers are caring and knowledgeable. Judith introduced me to several cats. In addition to the wonderful write-ups about each cat, Judith knew their personalities as well. She guided me to several that were a match for my personality. The behavior tests that ASPCA performs are informative and helpful. The cats are extremely well-cared for and in a clean and playful environment. I was never rushed. I played with a couple of cats and then realized that "Leaf" owned me. I loved everything about "Leaf" except the name so I changed it. She is now "Cagney." Several staff and volunteers were very happy that she was going to a new home. Stacy handled all the paperwork and could not have been nicer. I am so happy that I came here and very proud that I am a "Guardian" aka give a set monthly donation. You could not ask for a better adoption experience. Cagney and I are very lucky, indeed.
