Zani’s Furry Friends ZFF, Inc is a non-profit organization committed to rescuing companion animals from New York City shelters where, unfortunately, they are at significant risk for euthanasia due to overcrowding. Beyond directly helping the animals we save, their rescue creates space at the shelter - thus giving another shelter cat or dog an opportunity to await a chance for adoption or rescue and thereby potentially saving yet another life. We have expanded our rescue borders to welcoming immigrant cats and dogs needing help on the international front. Our mission is to help you find the perfect furry companion for your family and to help all our rescues find the forever home they deserve. Entirely funded by donations, we depend on our volunteers to continue our work. We do not have a shelter or boarding facility per se, but instead rely upon foster homes to shelter and nurture our furry friends until a loving forever home is found. Although not always sure of the pedigree or background of each cat or dog, those we place are generally well-socialized family pets who came to the city shelters and elsewhere through no fault of their own. We rescue kittens and puppies, nursing moms and litters, adults, seniors and special needs cats and dogs who deserve another chance for a loving home. Our foster home network allows us to become fully familiar with each of our available cats and available dogs and helps us ensure the best possible match with adoptive families
