Cooper's Story

Meet Cooper — aka Coop. This gentle three-year-old tabby is searching for his forever home and a family to shower with love, head-butts, and constant companionship. I found Cooper living in a vacant lot around the corner from my home. He was clearly an indoor cat who had been dumped, with none of the skills needed to survive the harsh streets of New York. When I first saw him, he was skin and bones. But with time, patience, and lots of love, his true personality has come shining through — and he’s the sweetest boy you could ever meet.<br/><br/>According to his foster, Cooper is like her little shadow. He follows her from room to room, always wanting to be close. He curls up beside her on the sofa and gently stretches out a paw just to keep touching her. Like a dog, if she stops petting him, he nudges her hand with his head to ask for more. And at the end of each day, he hops into bed and sleeps right next to her, happy just to be near his person.<br/><br/>He gets along well with her two three-year-old cats, but he’d also be perfectly content as the only cat in a home where he can soak up all the attention.<br/><br/>It’s been so special watching Cooper go from a scared, starving street cat to this affectionate, trusting companion. He really just wants someone to love.<br/><br/>Don’t miss the chance to welcome this gentle boy into your heart and home. Cooper is neutered, vaccinated (including rabies), microchipped, tested negative for FIV/FeLV, and has been treated for fleas and worms. All medical paperwork will be provided upon adoption.<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting Cooper, please fill out our adoption application here https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/CCRN/Cat

The Cat Collective Rescue NY's Adoption Policy
All adopters complete an application, a short interview, a home check (virtual or in-person), and references so we can ensure the best possible match for both the cat and the family. We carefully consider household dynamics — including other pets, children, lifestyle, and experience — to help make placements that are safe, successful, and lasting. Adoption is a lifelong commitment (often 15–20 years), and if a match doesn’t work out, the cat must be returned to our rescue — never rehomed independently or surrendered elsewhere. Declawing is not permitted. The adoption fee helps cover spay/neuter, vaccinations, testing, microchipping, and medical care; it is a contribution toward the cat’s care, not a purchase. We believe normal cat behaviors like scratching, climbing, and adjustment periods are part of the journey, and we’re here to support you — including check-ins after adoption to help ensure a smooth transition.
