I adopted my cat, Luna, from PETCO in the Bronx and I am in love with her. It was the best Thanksgiving present to myself. I plan on adopting a brother or sister for her in the very near future. ❤️❤️❤️
I have adopted three cats over the past ten years from this organization. I am very happy with all my babies, and special thanks to Marina for making it happen.
I recently adopted two sweet, bonded kittens from Inky Blue Animal Rescue, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From start to finish, it was clear that the team at Inky Blue Animal Rescue (IBAR) is dedicated to the well-being of the animals they care for.
The kittens were a gift for my 8-year-old daughter, who has been a cat lover since birth. I had been struggling to connect with other rescues and cat cafes, often feeling frustrated and discouraged, until I met Delila, the co-founder of IBAR. She completely changed our experience. We spoke on the phone for over an hour, and she made me feel understood and supported right away. Over the course of two months, we stayed in close communication as she helped me find the perfect kittens for our family. Her dedication, patience, and willingness to work through every detail truly made all the difference.
The Inky Blue volunteers at the Petco were also wonderful—friendly and clearly passionate about the animals. They made meeting the kittens and learning about their personalities such a positive experience.
As for the kittens, they are healthy, happy, and thriving in their new home. It’s clear they received excellent care at Inky Blue Animal Rescue, and I’m incredibly grateful for everything Delila and her team did to make this adoption possible. These kittens were meant to be part of our family, and I can’t thank Inky Blue Animal Rescue enough for bringing them into our lives!
I adopted two beautiful stray kittens from this rescue group and my expectations of the adoption process went above and beyond. Happy pet parent. Shout out to the people who run this organization
Beautiful cats and kittens up for adoption inside PETCO ON East 53rd street and second avenue. Loved meeting Delilah, the adoption representative there.
This is a good animal rescue organization. Me and my wife adopted a wonderful pup from them. Very happy. Exceeded our expectations.
I am the lucky recipient of the cutest chihuahua mix ever. As a result of contacting this animal rescue, I have officially become infatuated with bringing her to socialite events where many wealthy people carry around and show off their toy dogs.
My family two cats from inky Blue and we absolutely love them to bits. Marina, the adoption supervisor is very sweet and knowledgeable. Thank you!
I adopted the greatest dog at this rescue organization.
Definitely surpassed my expectations. No BS.
I appreciated the non-intrusive, pleasant way.of being screened and Evaluated to be able two adopt two cats. The grilling at other organizations was frustrating and exhausting.
I adopted two kittens for my girls from this rescue group. They are beyond adorable, and in great shape. A friend referred me, and that's always a good sign. As an added bonus, our kittens, Sonia and Carly were rescued in Puerto Rico. A "10" for satisfaction.
I adopted a beautiful , 4-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier from this organization. Christine has a beautiful temperament that dogs of this breed naturally possess , She's not the vicious stereotype that mankind has branded, and trained so many countless others to be for their own selfish purposes, So happy with the outcome!
THANK YOU WILLIAM FOR MY BEAUTIFUL DOG, KYLIE. I looked everywhere. The process was so involved and difficult at the ASPCA and ANIMAL CONTROL. INKY BLUE was the opposite in every good way. I highly recommend this organization for anyone looking to adopt a dog!
Me and my brother adopted two kittens named Gwen and Paisley from Marina at PETCO iin Riverdale, (237th and Broadway) in NYC. Marina was a straight-forward, sincere adoptions counselor. Especially important to us, since we were making a first time cat adoption. We couldn't have had a more pleasant experience, and we are in love with our girls.
I chose this organization to adopt my two cats based on a recommendation from a friend, and I made the right decision.
I had a remarkable experience adopting my dog, Barclay, from this organization. A Professional and compassionate adoptions team. I certainly urge anyone looking to adopt to go with this organization.
I adopted a Lab mix puppy that this group rescued in Puerto Rico. He came up to me fully vetted- neutered, vaccinated, and healthy. Quality rescue group. Defintely recommend them.
Marina and William were so sweet taking me through the adoption process. We adopted two cats that we love so much. If you want to adopt cats or dogs from GENUINE rescuers, look not further. My kids are so happy.
I was looking everywhere for a cat that would be a rescue and hypoallergenic. I saw George (then named Lucas) on the Inky Blue web site and he looked just like a Russian Blue but I didn't realize he was really half siamese - also a hypoallergenic breed. I went to see him and knew he was THE ONE. William was so enthusiastic about the cats and helped make the process easy. He set us up with food, a carrier and litter box and toys right on the spot since we were at a kennel connected to Petco.
I adopted two beautiful, sweet cats from inky Blue Animal Rescue one week ago, and the experience was above and beyond my expectations.
Inky Blue is the rescue that made my dream of having a cat come true. It took me many attempts and rejections from other rescues and finally I came across these very cute black kittens at the Bronx Petco. I always had a soft spot for black cats. The manager of Inky Blue, Marina, was extremely helpful and gave me a lot of advise and links to useful products for kittens, especially since these are my first pets ever. I can tell that she really cares about each cat and she meets potential adopters in person and by talking to them she determines a good fit. She also kept in touch with me after adoption and gave even more useful advice. I am really happy that Onyx and Twix became my new family members - they are really adorable and funny and of course crazy like all kittens:) Thank you very much Marina and Inky Blue for giving me this wonderful opportunity!
They really take good care of the cats they rescue. The process was simple and easy I’m glad me and my girlfriend adopted one of the cats they rescued.
08/30/2020 My Mandela was a rescue and had been fostered by Inky Blue, they had him for 5 months before I adopted him. They brought Mandela back from the jaws of death with much needed medical help at their own expense. Now I have a wonderful companion, thank you Inky Blue for bringing him to me. My gratitude extended into becoming a volunteer caring for the kitties.

I adopted a kitten named Silvester. Marina was so courteous and knowledgeable regarding cat health and care. He was the cutest thing ever, im so happy I got a chance to meet Marina and adopt from her. I would recommend Inky Blue a million times over!
Our experience was excellent! The adoption process was quick and Marina was especially very helpful. We received all the information needed including medical papers, basic info on how to care for a cat (helpful for a newbie like me) etc. We're very happy to have our cute little baby Jack! He's the sweetest cuddle monster and never fails to put a smile on my face. I highly recommend adopting from Inky Blue.
I loved my new cat from the moment we met, and she felt at home within half an hour of hopping out of her carrier: nosing around, popping in and out from under furniture, and helping herself to a snack. By the end of the day, we had totally bonded and she was a glutton for affection, giving me headbutts and weaving between my legs as we went from room to room together. She is super healthy and well-adjusted, and showed up right from the vet with her latest vaccination records. This is everything I could hope for from a companion adoption service. A+
My experience was great! The help I got to see what was best for my kitten was so appreciated. She was so nice to me with everything and helped me adopt my kitten that I love so much. She checks up to see if the kitten is doing well which shows how much they care for their animals. Love my experience 100%
I adopted my sweet girl Sheena about 3 months ago. There were many cats available. I wanted a nice, mellow lap cat that would be happy just with me. I asked endless questions and was given great advice. Sheena and I are perfect for each other! Thank you!
Really appreciated the fact that the cats were able to wander and play inside the room with the glass door. They are not cooped up in a cage 24/7.
i enthusiastically recommend adopting a companion from this rescue for so many reasons. count on me when I tell you that i rarely give a great review online.
After weeks of searching for the right kitty kat, I proceeded to find two amazing cats (brothers) at this group's adoption center in East River Plaza in NYC that I love and adore! The adoption counselor I worked with was wonderful, thanks again!
I will admit that i was super negative when my fiance proposed that we open our heart and home to a sheleter/rescue dog, but
6 months have have passed and i have done a major 180 in my way of thinking. We are in love with our German shepard girl.
I adopted a puppy that was in excellent health and temperament from a well-groomed Adoption counselor
Very happy with the health and temperament of the cats up for adoption. I adopted two beautiful cats from this organization. Thank you.
Helpful, sweet chelsea and founder, William Cassius are the good, honest people who held me and my husbands hand for the first week with a new cat that we adopted who is just lovely. First time, appreciative cat adopters here. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Reliable, easy, transparent adoption organization. After adopting my cat Chester thru inky Blue, I started volunteering here a year lated, and I love it. The Founder of this group is inspiring. He puts word to action.
An organization that truly cares about pets. Adopted a dog from inky blue and she's the sweetest puppy on the planet. Definitely an organization I would recommend to others.
I am a very straight-to-the point kind of guy. Great Animals. healthy. kudos to the Adoptions director for his generous time patience and keen advice we adopted two dogs.named Bradley and flannery and were nervous first time pet parents and we couldnt be happier. Aplus.

On July 11, 2013 I adopted a wonderful dilute calico cat who I named Delilah...she is such an angelic and affectionate cat...she will be 9 years old. She's great in every way and she gets along beautifully with our other cats...she loves everyone who enters our home and has brightened my life!!! William Divney is a fantastic and caring human being. He thought Delilah was the perfect cat for my household and he proved right..I would highly recommend his organization to my friends. What William Divney does in Puerto Rico is such a rewarding and giving thing to do!! It takes a unique person with a heart of gold to do this type of work.

Inky Blue Rescue is a wonderful organization. I found them at Petsmart in East Harlem. I was in Petsmart buying supplies for my fish tank. I always stop to look at the cats. A lovely young volunteer spoke to me about one of the cats, how sweet & lovely he was. She told me about the rescue group & how they bring the cats in from Puerto Rico. It's a beautiful thing that Inky Blue is doing. Within a day, this cat was in my home. He has brought me tremendous joy & happiness. The staff is highly professional. All questions are promptly answered. They are very experienced when dealing with any issues regarding the animals. Everyone I've told about Inky Blue has commented on the noble cause they are doing. My only wish is that this facility would be more recognized & visible.
My husband and I adopted our beautiful kitten from this organization. We couldn't be happier. They were so helpful and answered all of our questions even after we adopted our sweety. They really care about putting their animals in good homes, not just any home. When we adopt our next cat, we for sure will get him/her from Inky Blue. We have an amazing companion. She snuggles us all day and every day.
I adopted a young cat after fostering her for a couple months. I appreciate the organization's flexibility when it came to fostering as I was not sure I was ready to adopt. I am happy I did adopt though, as my kitty is healthy, beautiful and spunky! If you are looking to adopt from a small organization, Inky Blue is the way to go; they are compassionate and have truly special animals. Love the fact that my kitten was rescued from Puerto Rico!
adopted two.amazong kittens from this group after reaading the good. reviews. im So happy with the kittens i adopted!

Almost two years ago I decided to take the plunge and adopt a cat. I had been shopping around for good adoption agencies and settled on Inky Blue. A friend of mine highly recommended them. I was struck by their central mission to rescue cats and dogs from Puerto Rico, a place where the stray animal population is extremely high. I was blessed to meet an adorable and sweet little black kitten named Moca. She is my best friend and now has a new cat sister Sally that she adores. Moca is the most affectionate and sweet cat I've ever known and many others have said the same. She has her own unique personality and is the best cuddler. The folks at Inky Blue were very helpful in getting everything set up for me including vet recommendations, etc. they are a wonderful bunch of people. So great in fact that I volunteered with them for a year and had a splendid time with all the sweet animals. I can't recommend this organization highly enough. They have a wonderful staff/volunteers, a very genuine and relevant mission and the sweetest animals around for adoption. Doesn't get much better than that:)
