Animal Care & Control of NYC
Animal Care & Control of NYC (AC&C) is one of the largest animal welfare organizations in the country, taking in approximately 30,000 animals each year. AC&C is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that rescues, cares for and finds loving homes for animals throughout the five boroughs of NYC. AC&C has a contract with the City of New York to be an open-admissions organization, which means it never turns away any homeless, abandoned, injured or sick animal in need of help, including cats, dogs, rabbits, small mammals, reptiles, birds, farm animals and wildlife. AC&C is a full-service animal organization that takes in any animal in need in NYC. (See the definition of a Full-Service Shelter.)

Animal Care Centers
Animal Care & Control of NYC (AC&C) has three full-service Animal Care Centers located in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Staten Island, as well as two Receiving Centers located in the Bronx and Queens. Whether arriving at our shelters due to homelessness, family crisis or abuse, we do not turn away any animal in need.

Adoption Services
AC&C is a great place to find a wonderful cat, dog or rabbit to join your loving family. Open seven days a week, we can help you find the perfect pet for your home. If you are not able to visit our Care Centers, you may also find a pet from AC&C at one of our off-site adoption events. For your convenience, you can also find a pet online through our Adoption Search where you may view pictures of the animals we have available for adoption on any given day. Additionally, AC&C partners with over 150 animal welfare and veterinary groups in the community through our New Hope Program as an alternative outlet for animal adoptions.
