My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Update April 2024

Over the past few months we have made the determination that Tara and Scarlet would be fine on their own, they do not nee to be adopted together.

Scarlet is a beauty with her shiny black coat and gorgeous eyes. She's affectionate and enjoys petting and brushing. She just loves to be loved! Scarlet likes to lean into you and enjoys lap time as well. She's got the softest little meow. Scarlet is sweet and loving and has a fun, playful personality and she tested OK with dogs too! This girl has much love to give and cannot wait to find a home!

DEC 2023

Tara and Scarlet are two senior kitties adopted from us in 2013, whose world turned upside down when their loving owner passed away.

These precious souls find themselves in a shelter, facing the cold reality of life without the person who meant everything to them. These sweet 9 1/2 girls are sweet but very scared and shy, understandably. They find solace in each other's company and dream of a second chance together. With a little time and patience they become more comfortable and like gentle pets and will seek out affection.

Share their story, spread the word, and let's make a difference in the lives of these two souls. Remember, the best homes are the ones filled with compassion and understanding. Let's find Tara and Scarlet the forever home they so desperately need.

Scarlet tested OK with a dog that is used to living with a cat and is respectful of them.

*Per JSAC policy, puppies and kittens under 6 months will not be adopted to families with children under the age of 6 years.

Adoption Process

Our friendly, knowledgable team of staff and volunteers would be glad to give you a tour of the shelter and discuss whether one of our furry friends is the right match for your home.

The JSAC has careful policies on the placement of young animals, dominant breed dogs (Rottweilers, Shepherds, Akitas, etc). Due to our lifelong return policy we prefer to adopt our pets locally, so we don't adopt out of state. We prefer homes in the region so that we can be a resource for the animals and their adopters. These policies and procedures are in place to protect everyone involved and are very common when rehoming animals, whether through a shelter or a rescue group.

We do not have "same day" adoptions. Rather, an application for an animal is reviewed to ensure that 1) the home has taken good care of their other animals * 2) The animal is permitted in the home and 3) that it is the right home for the right animal (choosing dog that likes cats if cats already in household, etc..). Typically this process takes 24-48 hours. If a dog application is approved and there are other dogs in the home, we have the two (or more) dogs meet; many times if necessary.

More about this shelter

Jersey Shore Animal Center is committed to the care of unwanted, abandoned, sick animals and to the adoption of these animals to responsible, loving homes. To that end, veterinary care is provided as needed, medication and inoculations are given and neutering/spaying is done prior to adoption unless the animal's health or age precludes this procedure.

In addition, a compassionate staff tends to providing for each animal's physical and emotional needs, taking care to keep each one sheltered, clean, well-fed and socialized.
