Who we Are
Animal Care Council (ACC)
is a non-profit organization based in the Southern Tier of New York. We
are dedicated to animal rescue, spay/neuter, and the sheltering of
homeless pets. ACC is run by volunteers and receives no government
funding.
ACC began in 1978 as a
spay/neuter organization. Because there were so many requests for us to
help homeless animals, we broadened our focus to include animal rescue
and sheltering. In 1999, we were able to open our own adoption center,
a cat shelter on Washington Avenue in Endicott. We now also have an
auxiliary shelter/sanctuary in Johnson City. We adopt out an average of
30-40 cats and kittens each month.
Our adoption center in
Endicott is home to our spay/neuter clinic, which is where we provide
low cost
spays and neuters. We believe that the spaying/neutering of pets is a
way to
end the overpopulation problem and help ensure that fewer pets are left
homeless. In an effort to encourage people to alter their pets,
our services are open to everyone, regardless of income. ACC also
offers financial assistance for unusual cases. We currently spay/neuter
only cats at our clinic, but can provide referrals for dogs. Visit our
Endicott shelter for more information, or call us at (607)
786-5740 or 786-7729.

Adopting a cat or kitten
We always have many wonderful cats available for adoption in our two
mostly cage-free shelters. All of our cats and kittens have received
the
appropriate vaccinations and have been tested
for feline leukemia and FIV (feline HIV). They've also been wormed and,
if necessary, treated for
fleas and ear mites. All adults, as well as some of
our older kittens, have been spayed or neutered. Many of our adoptable
felines can be seen at our adoption center on Washington Avenue in
Endicott.
Our Johnson City auxiliary shelter/sanctuary has a mix of cats. This
shelter houses highly adoptable cats, as well as some of our "less
adoptable" wary, semi-feral, and special-needs cats. The sanctuary has
also become home to several healthy feline leukemia- and FIV-positive
cats.
