The Animal Care Centers of NYC says for the first time in the organization's history, it has more than 1,000 animals in its care, which has prompted the organization to suspend taking in anymore.

Because of this, local organizations came together to host a pop-up adoption event in Bushwick Saturday and Sunday to give these fur babies a home.

The Animal Care Centers of NYC's website says it posts animals at-risk of euthinization who have severe medical or behavioral issues that have not been able to find a home. But the ACC of NYC told News 12 as of Sunday night that it's not planning on doing euthanizations because of the capacity issues.

New Yorkers like Bella Schultz came to answer the call for help.

"I personally wish I could adopt every animal in the world but who doesn't feel that way? That's really sad news. We're just happy to help," Schultz said.

For people like Evan Hendrick, who adopted a cat, it was love at first sight.

“He’s 6 years old. And he wasn’t surrendered here. I'm sure that if his owner hadn't passed, he'd still be in his loving home. But unfortunately, they did. And that's why he's here," Hendrick said. "And I’m just excited to get him home and to settle him in with our other cats and show him the love and the care that he's missing from his previous owner as his new owner," said Hendrick.

News 12 spoke with the Director of Placement for Animal Care Centers of NYC Jessica Vaccaro, who said about 85 animals were adopted at the events this weekend. However, she added that more work needs to be done and more animals need a home.

"One out of every three pets being surrendered are due to housing insecurity. This was not a decision we made lightly to suspend intake but we need to find homes for the animals in our care as we don't have any open free kennels for animals coming in," Vaccaro said.

For those who missed the pop-up adoption events but are still interested in adopting or fostering, or learning about resources in case there is a need of surrendering a pet, visit the ACC of NYC's website.
