Orphaned Dog & Cat in Brooklyn Need Your Help

TheCuteList.com's naming contest has come to the East Coast. Brooklyn Animal Resource Coalition (BARC) has two adorable animals who need good homes, and need sharp new names. They'll rename the following cat and dog whatever gets the most points in this thread for cat names and this thread for dog names.

As before, no profanity (this name will appear on the door for potential adopters to marvel at -- keep it family friendly). Submit your ideas and cast your votes before the deadline of Friday, March 6th at noon Pacific. Winners will receive a priceless warm & fuzzy feeling, a bobblehead, and may even save the world.

Kitty, as described by her friends:

Re-name this cat!

Kitty is nearly 11 years old domestic medium hair, about 6lbs. She was surrendered last year because her owner developed allergies. She is shy, and if adopted, she would probably hide for the first few weeks but will eventually come out of her shell. She is a lovely, sweet cat, and will be very grateful for a second chance at a happy home life and will thank you with lots of cuddles and purrs.


London, as described by his friends:

Re-name this dog!

London is an adorable male, 2 year old Chihuahua / Shih Tzu Mix. He came to BARC from the city shelter, where he was surrendered by his person. Right now he is understandably scared. He needs a patient person willing to give him the time and space to adjust to his new surroundings until he feels more secure. He guards his space and his food from people he doesn't know. He should not be in a home with children.

We're aiming to do this every month at cities across the U.S. If you've got an SPCA or other animal shelter in your hometown that you'd like to see featured on TheCuteList, message Erik.
