'Cat Friday' at the ASPCA
Wow, check out this Cat Friday deal. Forget Black Friday. Why not get a black cat? Or, any other color cat. You will be grateful you did. )
Check out this deal from the ASPCA
During the time-honored tradition of Black Friday, bargain shoppers will be on the hunt for great deals galore, but New Yorkers might be overlooking the best Black Friday deal of them all: ‘Cat Friday’ at the ASPCA Adoption Center, where all felines over one year of age will have their adoption fees waived! While a new TV or the latest kid’s toy might provide hours entertainment, a pet will bring your family a lifetime of happiness and create lasting memories. Is there really any better way to celebrate the spirit of the holidays than giving a homeless cat a place to call their own?
Here are the details on this event:
ASPCA’s ‘Cat Friday’
Friday, November 25th during the extended hours of 10 a.m. – 10 p.m.
ASPCA Adoption Center - 424 E 92nd Street (between 1st and York Avenues) on the Upper East Side of Manhattan
Additional details for adopters:
This deep discount on adoption fees is just one great deal that the ASPCA is offering. With each of these special adoptions, adopters will receive additional goodies, including a free cat collar and ID tag, a cardboard carrier for safe travels home and a surprise gift to help get the holidays started with their new family. All ASPCA pets are spayed and neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and even microchipped! Plus, adopters will receive a certificate for a free vet visit within 2 weeks of adoption at our Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital.
There are so many wonderful cats and dogs in shelters throughout New York City – including at the ASPCA Adoption Center – who would love to find a home for the holidays.
Happy Thanksgiving.

ASPCA Celebrates First Anniversary of 'Operation Pit'
Campaign extends free spay/neuter services for pit bulls, pit bull mixes on Friday, July 15; Nearly 600 surgeries performed in first year
The ASPCA® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®) is celebrating the one year anniversary of “Operation Pit,” the program that offers free spay/neuter or vasectomy surgeries to all healthy pit bulls and pit bull mixes between the ages of three months and six years, along with free vaccinations and micro-chipping. Throughout the year, “Operation Pit” procedures take place every Tuesday and Thursday at the ASPCA’s Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital in Manhattan. To mark this milestone and to encourage continued participation, appointments for “Operation Pit” will also be available for Friday, July 15.
Since its launch on July 15, 2010, 583 surgeries have already been performed through “Operation Pit.” “I am very pleased by the success that we’ve had thus far,” said Dr. Louise Murray, vice president of Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital. “Outside of ‘Operation Pit,’ pit bulls and pit bull mixes make up a very small percentage of dogs that are brought in for routine spay/neuter procedures at Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital. Pit bulls also have large litters compared to other breeds, so it comes as no surprise that they make up a vast majority of homeless dogs found in city shelters. One of the most effective ways to manage this overpopulation is to provide free spay/neuter services.”
More than 50,000 homeless pets enter city shelters each year. Reducing this number depends on increasing adoptions and decreasing overpopulation. The ASPCA Mobile Spay/Neuter Clinics spayed and neutered close to 30,000 cats and dogs in 2010. However, the vast majority of dogs that are still euthanized due to lack of homes are pit bulls and pit bull mixes. With programs such as “Operation Pit” the ASPCA hopes to reduce this number.
In addition to a free spay/neuter or vasectomy surgery, vaccinations and micro-chipping, dogs who have the surgery will also receive free K9 camouflage “doggie gear” and a post-operative “honorable discharge” for completing the mission.
All appointments for “Operation Pit,” including those for Friday, July 15, must be scheduled prior to the surgery date. All procedures are completed the same day, and owners can drop off and pick up their pets at scheduled times. For more information and to schedule an appointment, owners can call the ASPCA’s Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital at 877-900-PITS (7487). Details can also be found online at www.aspca.org/aspca-nyc/operation-pit.aspx.
Appointments can also be scheduled for select Sundays at the ASPCA’s new spay/neuter clinic in Glendale, Queens by calling 877-SPAY-NYC (7729-692).

New: ^..^ and :) art exhibit at Casita Maria in the Bronx
Kitty & Doggie News' featured art exhibit in the Bronx
Casita Maria Center for the Arts and Education
July 1– September 6, 2011
FREE! Opening reception: Friday, July 1, 6-8 pm FREE!
Curated by Brent Birnbaum, Fran Holstrom & Carolyn Salas
Ryan Sullivan, Miles and Me, Digital C-print, 2010
Casita Maria is proud to present two concurrent exhibits: one features artwork depicting animals, the other features artwork depicting humans. The work will cohabitate the same space and elucidates the complicated way we identify as individuals and social beings, once wild.
^..^
Someone let the dogs out in contemporary art! Brent Birnbaum presents a selection of New York City’s talented emerging artists, in a show aptly titled ^..^ which acts more as a symbol (think perky ears) than a slogan. The work of eight artists was chosen for its depiction of animals as vehicles for exploring the human condition, surrogates for human emotions, and/or factual explorations of our relationships with other species. From guard dogs to presidential dogs, and tattoo flash to anthropomorphized creatures, no one here is barking up the wrong tree.

Carolyn Salas and Fran Holstrom paired up to present a group exhibition titled, :) The work in this show ranges in its motivation, expression and interpretation of portraiture in contemporary art. Some of the artists included know the person they are depicting, some depict themselves from memory, while others create more open-ended documents or abstract figures meant to appeal to the “everyman”. Whether rendered with a careful hand or an expressive brush, the viewer is offered insight into the existence of others, which inevitably causes self-reflection, doubt and comparison, all of which are fundamental to our realization of “self” dependent on the pack for our individual identities.

Chinatown Manhattan’s Lunar New Year Parade, February 6, Features Adoptable Rabbits in Honor of the Chinese Year of the Rabbit
Around here we usually talk about kitties and doggies. But it is The Year of the Rabbit. We wanted to look out for our rabbit friends and share this press release with our readers. Happy I love NYC Pets Month!
First Rabbit Event in Mayor’s Alliance for NYC’s Animals’® Annual I Love NYC Pets Month
The colorful 12th Annual Lunar New Year Parade, which takes place in Manhattan ’s Chinatown on February 6th, will feature a special windowed vehicle showcasing over a dozen rabbits that can be adopted from Rabbit Rescue & Rehab at Animal Care and Control of NYC. This event is among the first of the Mayor’s Alliance for NYC’s Animals’ fifth I Love New York City Pets Month held each February to encourage New Yorkers to adopt a homeless pet. February is also Petfinders’ official Adopt a Rabbit month.
Most people are aware that cats and dogs are available for adoption but the national House Rabbit Society and New York’s Rabbit Rescue and Rehab want everyone to know that rabbits can also be adopted and that they can be loving pets, ideal for apartment living. Rabbits can be adopted at Animal Care and Control of NYC, 326 East 110th Street .
The Lunar New Year Parade is one of the highlights of NYC’s festival season – balconies and stores are festooned with colorful decorations, teams of youthful lion dancers perform throughout the day and floats wind their way through the streets. The Chinese Lunar New Year Parade is organized by the Better Chinatown Society. Rabbits are considered lucky by the Chinese, and particularly in the Year of the Rabbit, so the rabbits riding in the windowed van (provided by North Shore Animal League America , an Alliance Participating Organization), will be a popular attraction.
The Mayor’s Alliance for NYC’s Animals’ Fifth Annual I Love NYC Pets Month features numerous adoption events and other activities to support the organization’s goals of increasing pet adoptions and spay/neuter rates, and transforming New York City into a no-kill community. These events shine a spotlight on the NYC’s homeless pets and the fact that pets are family, too!
Another highlight of the month is a February 19th Spay Day event, jointly hosted by the Mayor’s Alliance , ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals), and the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS). The event will feature pet adoptions; free spay/neuter clinics, microchipping, dog licensing, and vaccinations; plus information from pet experts, exciting giveaways, and more.
On February 23, the Mark Garrison Salon at 108 East 60th Street will host a fundraiser for the Mayor’s Alliance , with participation by the “Doggie Moms,” a new reality television show of the same name, which will include important information about City resources for dog owners, premiering in mid-February on NYC life (channel 25).
For more information about I Love NYC Pets Month and the many upcoming events taking place in February, visit ILoveNYCPets.org.
