Final Hope Animal Rescue - Jersey City

Final Hope is an animal rescue organization that strives to provide help to New Jersey’s feral cat colonies, as well as abandoned and neglected cats and dogs.

At the heart of our organization is a mission to give temporary shelter, socialization and medical care to homeless animals, and to place them in loving and secure FOREVER homes.

With countless feral cat colonies all across NJ and thousands of kittens born each year, most of whom die from hunger and disease, Final Hope is actively involved in Trap-Neuter-Release programs that are the only effective form of population control and contribute to the well-being of stray cats

Additional adoption info

To make sure our rescue pets find a permanent, loving homes and to facilitate good matches between adopters and their adopted companions, we ask you to follow our adoption procedures. It helps our animals and it protects you from a pet you cannot care for.

1. Once you have found the animal that you cannot resist, please complete the Pre-Adoption Application, which can be found on our website. Once completed, you may return it via email or fax, with a copy of your current photo ID (driver’s license or state ID card).

2. We will let you know within 48 hours that you’re application has been approved and it is under review by the Board of Directors. Since we often receive multiple applications for one animal, we strive to find the best match based on the animals personality & needs, as well as the potential adopters personality, wants, housing, etc…

3. Final Hope will call your vet to ensure that any current animals are kept up to date on all vaccinations and basic care. Final Hope will also call two personal references. If you are under-age, we will ask for references from your parents or guardians.

4. Final hope will perform a home check and recommend any necessary modifications to ensure the animal’s safety.

5. Once everything has been approved, Final Hope will call/email to let you know that you have been approved and a time and place for adoption will be set.

6. During the actual adoption, you will complete an Adoption Contract and make a small donation to the rescue, which is used to defray the costs of taking care of the animals’ daily needs (i.e. feeding, medical, toys, transportation, etc..).

7. Once the paperwork is completed, you will be given a copy of the animal’s medical records.

8. Within the first 1-2 weeks, Final Hope will call and check to see how your new pet is doing and will address any new pet parent concerns.
