Had the best time spending a “Whimsical Wednesday” (if you don’t know what that is, be sure to follow Jessie!) with the wonderfully funny and endlessly delightful Jessie Jolles, who gave our pups a lesson in the art of dressing for joy—and everyone felt a little more fabulous for it. ✨🐶

Keema (AKA) Nala 😄 was recently adopted, but Linda is currently available, and Kima will be available shortly. Both are located at our Chelsea location!. ❤️

Meet Mitatsu, a 9-year-old former bodega manager who has traded inventory counts and customer relations for a life of luxury.

Her résumé includes:
✔️ Managing humans
✔️ Monitoring all household activity
✔️ Maintaining order
✔️ Looking fabulous while doing absolutely nothing

Mitatsu is independent, confident, and knows exactly what she wants. She’s not the clingy type, but she’ll happily keep you company from the couch, desk chair, or nearest sunbeam while quietly judging your life choices.

Think of her as a roommate rather than a pet.

Mitatsu has FLUTD (Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease), which is well-managed with a prescription urinary diet. As long as she stays on her food, she can continue living her best retired-manager life.

✨ Looking for:
• A calm home
• Humans who respect boundaries
• Someone who appreciates a cat with personality
• A household worthy of her supervision

After years of dedicated service, Mitatsu is ready to spend her retirement lounging, observing, and being adored.

This sweet and rambunctious girl is Oreo, and she can’t wait to meet you!

Oreo is a loving, playful pup who loves to be around her people friends. She’s happiest playing fetch, getting belly rubs, and just being the fun-loving girl she is. Eager to please her people, he’s already learning commands and has totally mastered sit! She recently made besties with Kathryn Gallagher and showed off just how sweet and smart she is!

Oreo likes some dogs more than others, so a meet and greet would be necessary for a potential sibling. She’d also do best in a home with older children.

Meet Oreo at our Chelsea adoption center and go to www.bideawee.org for more information.

Beautiful Taffy is coming up on her year anniversary in the shelter. That’s one full year of walking up and going to sleep alone in a kennel instead of beside someone who loves her, and she deserves so much better. 😔

Everyone who meets Taffy falls in love with her. She’s been going for walks in town out east (she currently resides at our Westhampton location) and she does so well with meeting new people and greets everyone as if she’s known them forever. She’s great on car rides, loves playing out doors in all kinds of weather (she’s as comfortable splashing in a kiddie pool as she is romping through a snowdrift), and she’s a constant reminder to squeeze every last drop of joy out of life.

Since she’s coming up on a year at the shelter with no suitors in sight, we thought we’d let Dolly remind her to keep shining, and having faith that good things will come.
And if you’re reading this, and you’re going through a tough time, let this be a reminder to you too. ❤️

Meet Taffy at our Westhampton location.

Bonded Brothers, Cooper and Milo definitely make loving fun! And they’ve been growing up at the shelter, which is shocking to all of us because they’re such wonderful kitties!

Cooper and Milo are outgoing, playful, affectionate, and pretty much everything you could want in a pair of kittens.

They love to play, climb into your lap for pets, and make biscuits with their little paws. They’re lively, silly, and always finding a way to keep themselves, and everyone around them, entertained. And that’s one of the best parts about adopting a pair: when you’re busy, they have each other to play with, snuggle with, and get into a little harmless trouble with.

Cooper and Milo are bonded and need to go home together. They’ve spent enough of their kittenhood at the shelter. Come meet them at our Manhattan Adoption Center and help these brothers finally grow up in a home of their own. Meet them in Chelsea!

Ziggy has been waiting for a home for more than four months, and everyone who knows him is hoping his turn comes soon. This sweet, playful boy is a staff and volunteer favorite who loves attention and is even happy to head out on little adventures in his harness. He’s just such a good boy.

Ziggy has allergic dermatitis, which may require ongoing medication to help manage occasional flare-ups, but it doesn’t slow him down one bit.

Ziggy is at our Wantagh location and so ready to be someone’s beloved cat. If you think that someone could be you, visit our website at www.bideawee.org and submit an adoption application.
