Adopt a Rikers Cat

Every day, we work to give the cats of Rikers Island a chance at a better life. In addition to caring for feral colonies, we rescue and socialize cats and kittens who are ready for loving homes.

When you adopt from Rikers Island Cat Rescue, you’re giving a cat not just a home, but a second chance to thrive.

What You’ll Find

We have many adoptable cats, each with their own personality and story, waiting to meet you. Whether you’re looking for a playful kitten, a quiet lap cat, or a quirky senior with character, we’d love to help you find your match.
