3 To See At ACC: Meet Viva, Hazel & Cersei
New York (CBSNewYork) CBSNewYork.com and 1010 WINS have teamed up with Animal Care Centers of New York City to let you know about some of the adoptable animals looking for loving homes in the city's shelters, and, where ACC's mobile adoption units are headed with even more great pets.
This week, we're featuring Viva, Hazel & Cersei:
Viva (A1082417) Viva has purrsonality and a half! This wonderful young tortie loves to be loved, and will come right up to you and eat treats right out of your hand. She's also a super deep sleeper, which is so funny in a cat! Meet this approximately two-year-old feline at ACC's Manhattan Care Center, 326 E. 110th Street.
Hazel (A1086686) Looking for a sweetheart? Hazel is an adorable, friendly, approximately two-year-old girl. Meet this petite cutie (she's about 40 pounds) at ACC's Staten Island Care Center, 3139 Veterans Road West
Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is the only open-admissions animal shelter in New York City and takes in approximately 30,000 animals every year. ACC's three Care Centers in Manhattan (326 East 110th Street), Brooklyn (2336 Linden Boulevard), and Staten Island (3139 Veterans Road West) are open for adoptions 12pm-8pm Monday thru Friday, and 10am-6pm Saturdays and Sundays.
Cersei (A1071380) "This little guy is very well-mannered and well-socialized," notes an ACC volunteer. "He will sit perfectly still as you pet him, drinking in the affection. Cersei's tan and cream fur is very fluffy and particularly soft on his head and ears, and he has beautiful dark gray eyes." Meet Cersei, who's about fifteen months old, at ACC's Brooklyn Care Center, 2336 Linden Boulevard.
