Originally a victim of the pet trade, Sam was bought as an inch-long baby by someone unprepared for her life-long care. As she grew and reached over a foot in length, her tank remained small and soon she could barely turn around. Void of enrichment, the floor of her tank was covered in her own excrement. Today, Sam enjoys shoveling sand, rearranging her tank decor, bopping her toy octopus, and observing all the goings-on at NYCAS. Sam is an Oscar Fish, a cichlid common in the pet trade and hunted and eaten in many parts of the world. She is about eight years old and joined the sanctuary in September 2017. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4c77a12421332835179923/1610158794565-3BQABMLCPS4D4TEOWE9S/Stella+Bantam+Hen Home - Stella Don’t be deceived by Stella’s small size and low position, as she is a fiery, assertive, and sometimes yelly member of the family. Stella likely came from a backyard chicken flock before she was found running through a Newark park in the summer of 2019. She came to the sanctuary with a bad case of the parasite Scaly Leg Mites and a big personality and quickly stole our hearts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4c77a12421332835179923/1615735260171-W3VQW9IBBLBBKH9XUP9N/Resized_20210213_093107.jpg Home Coral In November 2020, a Sunset Park, Brooklyn slaughterhouse employee spared four birds, including Coral. Coralis a red star hen, the top breed used in the egg industry for brown eggs, and she would have spent 18 months - 2 years in an egg farm before being shipped for slaughter. She is incredibly sweet, sometimes timid, and happy to be alive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4c77a12421332835179923/1615735143877-V0K7IO8QL2016R43804Y/20210211_212126_capture%2B%25281%2529.jpg Home Sally Sally and the rest of the neocaridina shrimp crew joined the sanctuary in January 2021 when their human was moving. Surprisingly graceful, always busy, and oddly whimsical, Sally and her friends are among the most entertaining residents at NYC, and the smallest at just a centimeter in length! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4c77a12421332835179923/1615735171395-0HG14RBDRLB2TS9SF0PM/Resized_20210219_172808.jpg Home Linda Linda is an incredible little quail! She came our way via Manhattan’s Wild Bird Fund, where they determined she is almost fully blind and slightly neurological. We were unsure if she would integrate with the rest of the quail flock, but Linda surprised us and immediately fit right in, doing a superb job navigating the quail enclosure! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4c77a12421332835179923/1610158693092-1RAA5WHU3V0PVFSUJ3EN/Stefanie+Crayfish Home - Stefanie Stefanie is one of the shyest residents at the sanctuary and spends a lot of her day in the rocky structures of her tank, emerging for food. Another victim of the pet trade, Stefanie is a crayfish who joined the sanctuary in December 2020 and she is able a year old. 43-75 billion crayfish, crabs and lobsters are farmed and slaughtered each year and we’re grateful Stefanie is safe and sound here at NYCAS. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4c77a12421332835179923/1610161931601-SYOM9BHTGAY9RCI91CHF/Best+Friends+Furever+with+Kel+Mitchell Home - Best Friends Furever on CBS After first broadcasting on Animal Planet Canada, the story of the unexpected friendship between chicken Rose and late chihuahua Biscuit aired in the US on Best Friends Furever with Kel Mitchell (of Kenan & Kel fame) and broad the individuality of chickens to an international audience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4c77a12421332835179923/1610159931118-8H9Q8ZKMFMOU1886M3IN/Watch+Mary+on+The+Drew+Barrymore+Show%21 Home - The Drew Barrymore Show on CBS The Wednesday before Thanksgiving 2020, Mary Turkey was the opening guest on The Drew Barrymore Show on CBS, reminding a national television audience the morning before the largest turkey-eating day in the US that turkeys are individuals. https://www.animalsanctuary.nyc/about daily 0.75 2021-01-08 https://www.animalsanctuary.nyc/contact-us daily 0.75 2025-06-17 https://www.animalsanctuary.nyc/in-memoriam daily 0.75 2021-09-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4c77a12421332835179923/1598849972495-LHGSAWKP6056D9A5T2TJ/Prospect%2Bleghorn%2Bchicken%2Bhen In Memoriam - Prospect Prospect embodied elegance and poise and was one of the quiet leaders of the NYCAS crew. Wandering Mount Prospect Park next to the Brooklyn Museum for a solid scorching week in 2017, Prospect quickly settled into her new brownstone home upon rescue. She was a white leghorn, the top breed exploited in the egg industry, but she was found with a numbered metal band around her leg, indicating she may have actually begun her life in vivisection, where leghorns are among the most experimented on chickens. At NYCAS, she was so much more than a number and brought grace, calm, and a quiet ferocity to our home. She joined the sanctuary on June 13, 2017 and passed on July 21, 2021 at about six years of age. Prospect’s death was a true shock, as she experienced an abrupt aneurysm during a routine vet visit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4c77a12421332835179923/1598849414906-UJ7X7IBCLLHTWGMZDVX6/89277940_10157508428983074_2441126447448850432_o.jpg In Memoriam - Winslow Despite their desire to peck, Winslow was one of the sweetest little snugglers you’d ever meet! Once an NYC street pigeon, they were seemingly hit by a car and left with severe nerve damage down the entire left side of their body, creating chronic balance difficulties. Winslow’s life was saved by a well-meaning man who unfortunately exhibited hoarding tendencies and eventually surrendered Winslow to NYCAS. To compensate for their bad balance, Winslow relied heavily on their beak and they used it to cling to anything or anyone stabilizing. They loved face scratches, beak kisses, and hanging with the flock on sunny days in the yard. They joined the sanctuary in August 2019 and passed away on June 4, 2021 in a horrible freak accident during a storm. Winslow is mourned deeply and will forever have the honor of being the pigeon who made NYCAS start caring for pigeons. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4c77a12421332835179923/1610158872934-XVEPUF46XAD5ZGYCH1ZZ/Mary.jpg In Memoriam - Mary In the summer of 2020, a family bought several baby chickens and turkeys with the intent to slaughter them. Mary, born with a birth defect that made her unable to stand, was surrendered to our friend Justine (who later founded Mary and Boonter Aquarium Fish Sanctuary). Justine worked to rehabilitate Mary before Mary headed to the sanctuary. Mary loved her pigeon friend Winslow, her chicken friend Monica, and daily snuggles with her human. Mary passed away in bed in March 2021, likely as a result of her compromised immune system. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4c77a12421332835179923/1598850712349-UBOWG6I7X13QV68WB7LT/Cecilia+Quail+Coturnix In Memoriam - Cecilia Shy and reserved, Cecilia was a gentle soul. Just before a blizzard in February 2018, a well-meaning man bought Cecilia and several other domestic birds from a Queens slaughterhouse, then dumped them in a public park. Had they not been rescued, Cecilia and the other quails, Stanley and Bernard, would have perished in the storm. Cecilia was a coturnix quail, the type of quail used both in the quail egg industry and for slaughter. She was the life mate of Stanley, who was devastated by her passing in November 2020. https://www.animalsanctuary.nyc/support-the-sanctuary daily 0.75 2021-03-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4c77a12421332835179923/1615741255006-8ZW4EIK2IXSWR6RA5IHR/95130408_10157689232228074_8207906523855192064_o.jpg Support the Sanctuary https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4c77a12421332835179923/1615741516061-L1EUOAV734L1VVILDFRL/97433635_10157752921838074_8522297043295666176_o.jpg Support the Sanctuary https://www.animalsanctuary.nyc/adopt daily 0.75 2021-09-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4c77a12421332835179923/1631652080345-ZSFZGIJ7VXG3YT1QII4V/Blue+Green+and+Orange+Hand+Drawn+Biography+and+Process+Infographic+%284%29.jpg Adopt - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
