    I am so happy with the adoption services at Brooklyn Animal Action. It was my first experience adopting, and Claire was so helpful with providing all the required information necessary and guiding me through the process. The process was seamless, and very simple. The kittens were fully vaccinated, microchipped, and they were Spay/Neutered. The spay/neuter is worked into the adoption fee, so there was no stress in working out the logistics of finding a location to offer that service. We are in love with our kittens, and they have made such a great addition to our home. They were fostered by a lovely family who cared for them very well, and that has made their transition into our home that much easier. If you are looking to adopt an animal, I would highly recommend going through Brooklyn Animal Action! They were truly great.

    Do you want to get this kind of email for absolutely no reason?

    You do NOT want to deal with these people. They lied to us about the age of the cat we adopted, saying she was 1 when she was 7. Claire, who dropped her off, is extremely rude and aggressive. She has sent us continuous rude, harassing emails when we had extreme issues with the cat, even though they say they will help if owners need it. Then, for absolutely no reason at all, Claire sent us two emails accusing us of abandoning the cat (which we still have) on the street--see photo. They adopted out a sick, older cat who they pretended was a healthy kitten. The cat is sick, but the people at BAA are worse.

    I first adopted from BAA over two years ago to add a sweet tabby kitten to our home. Since Covid-19 hit, I noticed my tabby was getting bored of me so I decided to reach out to BAA to see about potentially fostering cats to see if she would be open to friends. Long story short, our foster tuxedo kitten quickly turned into an adoption. Claire made the adoption easy because she recommended to us a tuxedo kitten based on his personality, knowing that my tabby is playful but sensitive to change. Claire was so thoughtful about making sure my home was safe and welcoming to my cats. I would 100% recommend Brooklyn Animal Action to anyone looking to adopt or foster, knowing that they are going to get a serious, thoughtful experience to make sure that potential pet-owners are not only ready to adopt but also have their animal thrive in their new home.

    Email from Claire Pt 1

    PLEASE be careful when you adopt from this group OR GO ELSEWHERE :( I am usually not one to write reviews and generally give the benefit of the doubt, but this upset me so much that I need others to know what happened. Long story short, they "forgot" to include health information about the cat I was given and I had to look through the (sparse) vet info myself to find it, and was then guilted about returning a cat that I was not ready to care for. I saw one of their cats online and thought he was really cute, so I applied for him. It's worth noting that this cat was listed as Felv/FIV negative. Also relevant is that a cat of mine passed away recently. I got through the whole process (to which they were very nice, albeit a little scattered) which included a virtual home visit in which I had to open all my closets + show screens on windows, and reference calls that included asking about my financial situation and general ability to care for cats. A little invasive, I thought, but worth it if I'm getting a cute cat, right? I was also reminded throughout this process that he was FIV/FELV negative. While in conversation, I was told that the cat had a chicken allergy, which was also not listed on his listing (only that he was on specialized food). I signed the contract, paid $200, and went to go get the cat (because his allergies wouldn't bother me! ). The next day, when planning to take him to my vet to get him situated with me, I finally had a chance to look at BAA's provided vet document (which was sent AFTER I paid/signed the contract). It was very sparse with no indication of age despite the listing stating he was 'young', which concerned me. I then noticed he was actually FIV positive! I asked his foster if she knew about this, and it turns out she did not and BAA did not tell her. I asked the rescue group via e-mail, and was told by Claire, that she "FORGOT" to include that information, but that, quote "It wasn't actually a big deal, more of a stigma than anything," sending me a resource. This and the subsequent conversation I had with her on the phone, however intentioned, came off both patronizing (as If I don't truly understand the nature of FIV) and guilting. Included in this conversation was her stating that "other vets are jerks" and "the only real risk for FIV+ cats is that they are a little more susceptible to dental disease." I wanted to return the cat given that I had stated multiple times to people in the organization that I just lost a cat and I am not currently emotionally prepared to take on one with a known health issue that I WAS NOT TOLD ABOUT PRIOR TO ADOPTION. *Note: The listing of the cat is now updated but I do have proof of it beforehand along with all documents provided to me. UPDATE. They changed his name to Pancake, which is the name I gave him (Pan when I got him, Mr. Limpy before that). This will be the third name change for him to date. That is VERY suspicious.

    Brooklyn Animal Action are absolutely fantastic and my experience with them has been nothing but positive. I've adopted three beautiful cats from them at this point, the last one just as recently as September (picture attached). The process of adoption was made incredibly simple but also there was always someone to talk through any questions I may have had. The support and care that Brooklyn Animal Action offer to both animal and prospective adopter is second to none. It can not be overstated how well run this volunteer organization is. Clare and the crew do exceptional and vital work in providing safety and wonderful lives for these cats at every stage of their rescue. They are making a huge difference every day for animals in our borough. It's remarkable and I highly recommend adopting through BAA

    I've had a wonderful experience adopting through Brooklyn Animal Action. Like many people, I decided to adopt cats during Covid and I was pretty nervous about how the process would work with every step having to be virtual. As it turns out, I shouldn't have been nervous at all - the home 'visit' was simple and informative - and pointed out some issues that I wouldn't have thought of. The foster was happy to answer all of my questions about the kittens and facetimed with me so I could see them 'in action'. The kittens are well socialized and healthy and BAA took care of scheduling their neutering appointments so all I had to do was show up. I take them to my own vet and BAA provided all of the documentation that I needed for proof of vaccination and their medical histories. My guys are the best thing that could have happened to me and I still shudder thinking about them out on the street trying to survive. Thank you BAA for saving them.

    I'm grateful for the doctors Silverman. Prospect Park Animal Clinic has handled my pets' needs for…read morealmost 20 years now. In that time, I've had five dogs and two cats.... This office is remarkably busy, which is not surprising...PPAC is a reputable veterinary office located on a beautiful brownstone block adjacent to Prospect park. Despite always being booked so far in advance, they always manage to somehow finagle us in, whenever my dogs need time sensitive care, versus some maintenance visit. These days, the office typically keep two competent receptionists on staff each day to manage the flow of appointments, both virtually and in person. I appreciate how Dr. Nick is willing to communicate with me after my visits and, sometimes when there is urgency, even before my visits. Times of illness, injury, and especially the passing of loved ones can be emotional Our pets all deserve responsive veterinarians who offer sound advice to their owners and communicate well about choices. Sadly however, this is not always the case. Whereas I might go somewhere else for a quicky vaxx visit, I would never go anywhere other than PPAC for my dogs' real care. Doctors Silverman always try their best. Also, the vet techs are fabulous and some seem to work there for years, thus creating a familiar family-doctors-office vibe. I highly recommend PPAC!

    We got Apollo, dachshund in 2013 and Valentino, American Stafford in 2016. I have taken them to…read morevets from Connecticut, Westchester NY, other local Brooklyn vets, to the VERG Hospital where Apollo was in ICU for 5 days, and I can say hands down our best experiences have been at Prospect Park Animal Clinic with Dr. Leonard Silverman and Dr. Nicholas Silverman. I have *never been treated rudely by any of the staff, they have always been professional and upfront and honest when we have medical questions. They call to check up on our pets post procedures, and if they are busy, I have found they always respond to emails. This is a mom and pop run vet clinic, I will always support the little family shop over a Banfield, Blue Peral, etc., but I would prefer and will always look for the smaller shop. And to the reviewer who called their clinic dingy, I dont know what he was expecting, they are pet Clinics not day spas.

Another time I was told that they don't have space. So they have space for new, name brand clothing but not for gently used? Doesn't make sense and something about this is really disturbing. Spin it any way you choose but it feels wrong. I donated everything to another pantry in Brooklyn and everything thing, shoes, clothing, bags, coats was gone in 30 minutes. I also had my daughter pack up all her gently used clothing, teaching her to help those in need but she learned another lesson and I will leave it there.

I absolutely LOVE to help others so this was definitely my kind of party. The staff was very friendly and nice. To be quite honest, I've never even heard of this place before this event but I'm so glad that I know about it now. I will definitely be back in the near future to volunteer again. CHIPS houses 9 young women who must be 21 years old and over and pregnant in their third trimester and allows them to have a place to stay for one year. They must go back to school and participate with in-house activities. CHIPS offers so much more programs as well. I spoke with Denise who is the executive director about the possibility of me coming back to volunteer with my church and she said that it was fine but I would have to participate in a training class which takes place the second Thursday of each month at 9 am and the last Thursday of the month at 6pm. I had a great time volunteering alongside my fellow Yelpers Peter D, William K, Aura B and Steven S. I'm looking forward to more opportunities like this in the future. Special thanks to Peter D for putting this together and allowing us to give back to the community. Life isn't just about receiving but also giving.
