Our Mission

Brooklyn Animal Action is an all-volunteer organization dedicated to improving the lives of  animals in New York City.  We rescue and find homes for adoptable animals, facilitate Trap-Neuter-Release programs and perform community outreach and education. Since our founding in 2010, Brooklyn Animal Action has found homes for thousands of cats (and a few dogs) and TNR’d hundreds more. We believe in working together to create a better life for New York’s animals.
