I know what you are thinking, "All cats think they are royalty..." Well that is true, the difference here is that I am right. I am the biggest princess here at the shelter. I love to be taken care of. I love warm and soft cozy beds. Chairs, tables, desks, clipboards, shoulders, etc are all close seconds. I like to be involved. I am very vocal cat who likes to boss people around. Most would call me a micromanager. But if everyone just did what they needed to, I wouldn't have to be so bossy... Makes sense, right?
I love to be pet, but when I am done being pet, I will let you know. I am a very funny with a "cattitude".
If you are interested in adopting me, give the shelter a call. They will schedule an appointment for you to come and meet me. I am normally in the lobby waiting to make people who visit pet me anyway. Managing is a hard job, but someone has to do it...

More about this shelter
OUR MISSION
To provide temporary shelter to stray, abandoned, rescued, and surrendered animals with the purpose of finding them permanent suitable new homes.
To facilitate the adoption of rescued abandoned, abused, and neglected animals into safe, loving furever homes. Our passion is to provide a safe and healthy transition into their new homes.
To serve our community and adopters by educating and encouraging responsible pet ownership with an emphasis on the need for spaying and neutering.
For your Information:
Toms River Animal Control can only remove sick or injured wildlife. We do not handle nesting wildlife or nuisance wildlife in or around residential homes. For this service, a licensed wildlife removal service will need to be contacted. You can find this information in your yellow pages under wildlife trappers, pest control or contact the facility at (732) 341-1000 Ext: 8450 for a reference. Please be aware this is a paid service.
We never euthanized animals due to space or time constraints, but we may elect to euthanize in the event of a severe, untreatable/debilitating illness, or extremely dangerous behavioral concerns.
