Carmine will benefit from a very slow introduction to new places and people and a supportive approach to help her settle in. Treats and head pets are the way to her heart. She is gentle and very sweet but is fearful until she feels secure. She is good with other cats. She enjoys being pet and will follow you around and stay close once she settles in. She is very sweet and enjoys the company of other cats. Her foster says "She went from scared and jumpy all the time, to a very polite kitty who speaks to you with her big eyes. It is such a pleasure to watch Carmine melt the hearts of grumpy cats everywhere. Resident cat, who is notoriously possessive of his food, allows her to eat from his bowl while he's eating. That's insane, but she has that effect on other cats! She follows around resident cat - its extremely cute! Her tail goes up when she's next to him, and she likes doing things he does. She is still working on confidence with humans, but her fear is never aggressive." She loves to play and loves to be near and is social. She enjoys being pet and also likes her own space for rest and quiet. Carmine is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and had preventative treatments to ensure she is ready for her new home. Submit an adoption survey from above and our team will reach out via phone or email (check spam) to schedule a counseling call. For any additional questions, please contact fosternyc@bestfriends.org. Please remember, pets cannot be reserved.

About Best Friends Animal Society

Best Friends is working to end the killing of dogs and cats in U.S. shelters in part by getting more pets out of shelters and into loving homes.

We’ve come a long way since the first known city reached no-kill in 1994, and now we’re closer than ever to making the entire country no-kill. Of the roughly 3,900 shelters operating in America today, 1,300 of them are not yet no-kill, but nearly half are close with 100 or fewer additional pets to be saved, and we know what to do to get them there.

Best Friends is committed to working with passionate people like you to save homeless pets through adoption, volunteering, fostering, and advocacy. In addition to our lifesaving centers around the U.S, we also founded and run the nation's largest no-kill sanctuary for companion animals.

Working together, we can save homeless pets in our communities and secure a better future for our best friends. Together, we will bring the whole country to no-kill.
