Upper West Side Pets Who Need A Home: Henry, Hazelnut, Winston & More
Looking to add a furry friend to your family and give back to the world at the same time? Perhaps it’s the right time to adopt a pet! During the coronavirus pandemic, facilities in the Upper West Side area have dogs, cats and other animals ready and waiting to be adopted.
In the search for your new companion, consider beginning at a local adoption center like Paul The Cat Guy Inc, where Barry the cat is waiting patiently. If you aren’t sure if you have time to take care of a pet year round, many shelters also offer opportunities to foster pets until they are placed in appropriate homes.
Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, we round up a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you’re a cat person, meet Henry, a Domestic Short Hair up for adoption. Or if dogs are more your thing, there are several great dogs available, too. Click on any listing for more information, or to start the adoption process.
