Adoptions - Success Stories
We've been adopted! Thank You!
I've found a home!: Rocky the JardineRocky is an adorable, 2 1/2 year old Jardine’s parrot. He was very sick when he first came to the Center and his owners could not take care of him. Rocky has been recuperating in the hospital for several weeks and he is feeling much better! He loves to have his head scratched and he makes cute kissing sounds. Rocky will be a great companion, he is looking for a new home with someone who has plenty of time to spend with him.
We've been adopted!: Thelmo and Louise
New in the hospital are Thelmo and Louise:Thelmo and Louise are approximately one-year old, brother and sister rabbits. They have been spayed and neutered and are in good health. We believe they are a mix of dwarf and lionhead rabbit breeds which explains their adorable, grey and white hairdos
I've been adopted!: Splenda the Budgie
Splenda is an approximately 3 month old budgie who was found flying around an Upper West Side park. He was born with a medical condition called “splay-leg” where his legs stick out to the sides and don’t support his entire body weight. Luckily, Splenda has no idea that he is handicapped, he spends his days happily flying around playing. He is otherwise in good health. Splenda will require a special cage set-up to keep him comfortable. If you are interested in adopting him, we will be happy to discuss his care requirements with you.
I've been adopted!: Juniper
Juniper is an adorable, 5 month old rat who loves napping in her fleece hammock and running through cardboard paper towel rolls. Her favorite snack is a slice of strawberry. She has been spayed and although she enjoys the excitement of the Center’s adoption window, she is ready to move to a permanent home.
Laurie and Linda
Laurie and Linda are two beautiful, lop-eared sisters who were abandoned at the local shelter. They have both been spayed and are in good health. These bunnies are completely bonded to each other, so we would like to find them a new home together. We've been adopted. Thank You!
Monk: Cockatiel
Monk was found wandering the streets of Riverdale, NY. When he was first brought to us he was thin, dehydrated, and very scared. We named him Monk because he is missing the feathers on the top of his head. After a few weeks of TLC, Monk has become one of the best singers in the hospital! His bloodwork shows that he is in good health, and although he will probably never regrow the feathers on his head, we think he is adorable.I've been adopted. Thanks!
Susie and Bettina
Bettina and Susie came to live at the Center when their owner could no longer care for them. Susie, the all white rabbit, has a badly fractured hind leg that required surgery to repair. She is learning how to get around with her splint and we are hopeful that she will make a full recovery. Bettina is black with tan markings, is in good health, and is very bonded with Susie. Both rabbits are 6-7 month old, spayed females who love to cuddle. We've been adopted. Thank You!
Lupe: the Jenday Conure
Lupe ended up here when someone found him on their balcony on the Upper West Side one morning a few months ago. He is colorful, playful and extremely vocal. Lupe gets along great with other small birds and people once he gets to know them. Sunflower seeds are his favorite, and he’ll do anything to get one. I've been adopted. Thank You!
LennyLenny came to us from Animal Care and Control with a broken back leg. We performed surgery and we are hopeful he will fully recover. He is brown and grey, and loves to eat a variety of greens and veggies. Lenny is extremely gentle and sweet; and is looking for a loving and caring home where he can recover and become a part of the family. I've been adopted. Thank You!
Peggy: BudgieI’m Peggy! I was brought here when my previous owners could no longer take care of me. I had a leg injury, and had to have it removed. It doesn’t slow me down at all! I am full of life, active and lovable. I love looking at myself in the mirror, and maybe could do well with a friend.Peggy has been adopted, thanks!
Muffin: The Guinea PigMuffin is an adorable 5 month old, spayed, female guinea pig with a great personality and an awesome hairdo. She is petite in size, but very outgoing and curious. Although Muffin does not mind the excitement of the hospital, she would prefer a nice home with a new family. Her favorite foods are dandelion leaves and romaine lettuce.
Muffin has been adopted. Thank you!
Akbar: canaryAkbar is a sweet 7 year old burgundy colored canary. He has a non-communicative hereditary disease called straw-feather disease which makes him look like he forgot to comb his feathers. He is accustomed to being handled. Akbar, named after the mogul ruler Akbar the Great, will sing on occasion and he has few vices. Sadly, he cannot move to Hong Kong with his human family so we must find him a new home. Akbar has been adopted. Thank you!
JadeJade has been adopted. Thank you!

Lexi and Baily - sisters
Cocoa - House RabbitCocoa is a male neutered house rabbit. He was rescued from Animal Care and Control in January. We do not know much about his history, but he appears to be young (less than 1 year) and is extremely friendly. He loves to run around the reception area soliciting attention, even if it means circling between our feet! He enjoys playing with toys and having a nice snooze in a warm lap.
Cocoa has found a new mom!

Paprika: - Bearded Dragon
Lucy: cockatielLucy. We believe that Lucy is a female cockatiel, approximately 1-3 years old. She was abandoned at a pet store and found her way to us in late February. Lucy is a beautiful bird who is extremely nervous. She has clearly never been handled before, and may do best either with another bird or in a home with somebody who is experienced with untamed birds. She has a beautiful whistle!
Reese: guinea pigReese is a male neutered guinea pig who is approximately 6 months old. He was rescued from a shelter in Brooklyn and has been in our care since January. He is a very social pig who will come right over to get a head or chin rub. He loves to run and hop all around his enclosure until he gets so exhausted that he collapses into his snuggling cup! He loves fresh veggies and will WHEEK until he gets what he wants! I've been adopted, thanks!
TribecaTribeca was found in… Tribeca! We believe she is a girl, although she is young and it is difficult to be sure. She was extremely thin and weak, had no tail, and a painful wound on her beak. She is on the road to recovery, but still very shaken from being on the streets of Manhattan! Even though she has been through a rough ordeal, she has not bitten anybody, and is gaining energy every day. I've been adopted, thanks!
