The mobile adoption program of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals will host several adoption events around New York City during the month of September. Adoption counselors will be on hand at the events to help all attendees find the perfect cat or dog for each person’s lifestyle. All available animals will be spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and tested for breed-specific illness and disease.
People who adopt a pet from one of the events will also receive:
- A certificate for 14 days of free follow-up veterinary care and medical support at the ASPCA’s Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital
- A leash and collar or pet carrier to help transport the new pet
- Literature explaining animal behavior and what a new owner can expect from a new pet.
Potential adopters should bring two forms of identification (one with a current address and picture ID), the names of two personal references available by phone, vaccination records for any pets already living in your home, and proof of income. Adoptions fees are:
- $75 for adult cats and most dogs
- $125 for one kitten; $150 for two
- $200 for puppies and small-breed dogs
