Garrett is currently in foster care and ready for adoption via our virtual process! Garrett, a two-year-old male, just arrived and is still getting settled in, so we’re just beginning to learn who they are. Right now, everything is new—new people, new sounds, new routines—and we’re giving them time to relax, decompress, and show us their true personality at their own pace. Here’s what we know so far about his time in foster care: https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:VA6C2:05e25105-f688-4e5d-af67-… Garrett is affectionate and playful. His foster says "he is a very social cat, who has been showing a nice balance of following us from room to room while still exploring the whole of our apartment, and enjoying areas he deems “safe.” Additionally, he has not attempted to hide from us, and has been eating regularly, and frequently. With each day, he is slowing opening up to us, and allowing us to pet him with our whole hands, for longer periods. He loves to snuggle up next to people if they are in bed or sitting on the couch, and almost always rubs against peoples legs who are standing in all areas of the apartment. He LOVES breakfast & dinner. Although my roommate has a cat, he has been having a hard time getting warmed up to Garrett’s presence. However, Garrett really wants to play with him, and he is not too in the face of the other cat in our home while they take the time to warm up to each other. While he is not the biggest fan of our dog, he does a wonderful job of coexisting, and setting boundaries with him." He is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and has had preventative treatments to ensure he is ready for his next steps. 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 held or 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.
