OG Anunoby is using his championship spotlight to help some local cats get noticed.

Fresh off helping lead the New York Knicks to an NBA title, Anunoby has partnered with Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC), Royal Canin, and VCA Animal Hospitals to spotlight five adoptable shelter cats. The campaign, called "OG's Starting Five," highlights cats currently waiting for homes in New York City's largest shelter system.

To encourage adoptions, the campaign is offering a year of free cat food and veterinary care for adopters. Royal Canin is also donating $300,000 worth of pet food to animal shelters across the U.S. Animal advocates hope the effort will help more shelter cats find loving families.

You can visit Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC) for more adoptable animals here: https://www.nycacc.org/.

Team Member Spotlight 💥
Dr Negus joined us at the end of 2025 and we have loved having her as part of the team! She earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Western University of Health Sciences and has expansive knowledge on small animal nutrition.

Like any true pet parent, she provided us with more pictures of her dog, Dude, than herself 😍

If you haven't met Dr. Negus yet, you are going to love her ability to explain her patient's health needs in an easy and understandable way. And your pet will love her caring and calm demeanor 🐕 🐈 ❤️
