    Time Out New York / Issue 674 : Aug 28–Sep 3, 2008
    Cause of the week

    Kittens!

    The New York City Animal Care & Control Center thinks every New Yorker could use a little pussy—and we happen to agree. To help find homes for cats in need of a family, the AC&C has extended its special two-for-the-price-of-one kitty adoption rates through Labor Day. Twenty-five bucks buys microchips, spaying or neutering, one month of free pet-health insurance per cat, and a free vet visit for your newfound friends. To whet your appetite, we drummed up escort ads for some needy felines who’d love to be a part of your threesome.

    Rashim
    Single Manhattan male needs luv ’n’ affection! I’m a gorgeous, clean and parasite-free three-month-old kitty looking for a friend—and maybe more. My paws are like cotton candy. Wanna touch? Ask for A772285. TTYL.

    Charles
    Orange-and-black three-year-old in Brooklyn, lookin’ for love in all the wrong places. I need a master who’ll let me explore my submissive side (gentle play only!); I want to be trained to belong to you. I am caring, loyal and ready. Ask for shelter number A773256 if you’ve got what I need.

    Dalai
    One-year-old silky and petite (only 7lbs) Staten Island gal needs a man (or woman!) who knows how to use his/her hands—I’m a classy lady that demands nightly attention. I’ve been alone all my life, but I’m ready for a real playmate! Ask for A772763if you’re ready to roll. P.S. I love toys.

    To adopt one of these cats or to learn more about AC&C, call 212-788-4000 or go to nycacc.org

      The introduction to this article is degrading to women and pathetic: "The New York City Animal Care & Control Center thinks every New Yorker could use a little pussy—and we happen to agree" Get a life!

      i just got a kitten from AC & C a few weeks ago, and i can't say how much she's enriched our lives. she is so cute is almost unbearable, and at the end of the day i get to feel good because we gave her a good home. i highly recommend taking one of these babies home if you can. $25! Can't be beat. just prepare to sit around all day at the office. they are pretty busy and all sorts of colorful characters come in and out with animals.
