How Adoption Works

Every placement begins with learning, conversation, and an individual review—not a checkout button.

1

Find Your Pet

Browse currently available cats and birds and read the complete care and placement information.

2

Submit an Application

Tell us about your home, experience, care plan, and the companion you are considering.

3

Application Review

Adopt a Pet NY evaluates whether the potential home appears appropriate for the animal.

4

Meet Your Companion

Schedule a meeting, video call, or another introduction appropriate for the animal.

5

Complete the Adoption

Complete the agreement, applicable fee, documentation, and carefully planned transfer.

Submitting an application does not guarantee approval or placement of a particular animal.
