New York City is home to an estimated half million community cats living throughout the five boroughs. These cats include fearful to social Community Cats and indoor/outdoor pets. Though these cats adapt to the demands and challenges of living outside, the people who care for and encounter them often reach out to the Animal Care Centers of NYC for help and/or to better understand how to live harmoniously with outdoor cats. ACC strives to have open communication with the public, advocate for Community Cats both in and out of the shelter system, and find the best placement outcomes for all our animals in our care; for many of these Community Cats, preventing them from coming into a shelter through candid and open communication with the client in advance, or once in care, returning the cats to their original caretaker meets these goals. Leveraging surrender prevention resources along with appropriate placement options allows us to decrease shelter populations and increase our lifesaving capacities. The Community Cats Coordinator helps achieve our goals assisting with ACC’s Community Cats department by ensuring the smooth operation of our current protocols and driving the development of a more robust program that touches all five boroughs and includes communication with our community, Shelter/Neuter/Return (SNR) in conjunction with the cat’s caretaker, targeted TNR, and appropriate alternative placement for cats who cannot return to their outdoor homes.

Road Dogs & Rescue champions second chances for “underdogs” with a special focus on brachycephalic or special-needs pups often overlooked or facing medical obstacles. We balance honest storytelling (even the “graphic realities” of intense vet care or high bills) with humor, hope, and the unwavering belief in each dog’s inherent worth. Guided by this vision, the Rescue, Adoption & Foster Operations Coordinator (RAFOC) stands at the heart of our mission: uniting rescue operations, adoption pathways, and foster engagement into a single, compassionate pipeline. While the RAFOC does not make medical decisions, they work closely with the Medical Director to ensure timely evaluations and consistent care, empowering fosters with the resources they need to nurture our “Lovable Lemons.” By embracing empathy, transparency, urgency, hope, and collaboration, the RAFOC amplifies the spirit of Road Dogs & Rescue—showcasing that no dog should be left behind and that with community support, miraculous transformations can happen every day.
