Story
Carina is a beautiful Tabico aka Caliby (half Tabby half Calico). She was trapped as a stray in Bogota by another organization & deemed unadoptable so she was going to be TNR’d (Trap, Neuter, Release). We felt she had potential to be a loving pet/family member and decided to give her a Christmas present by taking her into our rescue on December 21, 2023. She is definitely a work in progress but was already letting us handle her (begrudgingly) 😹 after just a few days. After a week she started to purr. It's still going to take time for Carina to gain trust and get fully comfortable. An adult home would be best for her. Other cats in the home are fine. She does not actively play in front of us, but we know that she does play as she takes her toys into her bed with her and likes catnip. Carina is a good eater and enjoys treats. Approximate DOB 12/18/21. Up to date on vaccinations, spayed, FIV/FeLV negative and microchipped. You must be at least 18 years of age to adopt. If you live in a parent or guardian's home, they must complete the application. An application does not guarantee an adoption. Our cats and kittens are not adopted on a first come, first served basis, but whom we feel would be the best fit for our cats and kittens.

Story
Jax is a handsome, stocky, brown tabby from Hackensack, NJ. He was living with his mother in the parking garage of a condo building. Permission was given to catch them and see if they could be adopted. Mom turned out to be not very nice at all and was TNR'd. Jax had some fire in him, but was deemed workable since he was still young. Jax is going to be a big boy! He has very large paws and a solid build. He has been coming along nicely. Will still hiss, but can be picked up and held. We think he will eventually become a "snuggle bug". He enjoys playing with foil crinkle balls and plastic springs. Approximate DOB - 05/02/22 Up to date on vaccinations, neutered and FIV/FeLV negative. You must be at least 18 years of age to adopt. If you live in a parent or guardian's home, they must complete the application. An application does not guarantee an adoption.

Story
Fiorella is a beautiful brown/grey, long-haired tabby that joined the Chance at Life family with her sister Serena, at the end of March 2024 from a municipal shelter at the approximate age of 4-5 months young. There were deemed unadoptable due to their temperament and lack of staff to work with them and were going to be put back outside in Cresskill, as part of a TNR program. We felt they deserved a chance to be socialized in a foster home and hopefully find their furever families. We did have to separate Fiorella and Serena as Fiorella was feeding off her sister's negative and aggressive demeanor, making it hard to work with her. Once separated, Fiorella started to make progress. She still is a "work in progress" but has come a long way. She enjoys toys, treats and being brushed as well as scratches under the chin. Her foster mom can kiss her on the face (all this she accepts while still hissing, lol) Fiorella would do best in an adult-only home with someone who realizes she may never be a lap cat. She is fine with other cats and kittens. Approximate DOB 11/03/23. Up to date with vaccinations, spayed, microchipped and FIV/FeLV negative. You must be at least 18 years of age to adopt. If you live in a parent or guardian's home, they must complete the application. An application does not guarantee an adoption.

Story
7 precious kittens were all born on April 23, 2025 to our beautiful Mothers, Skittles and Trinity. Yes, they gave birth at the same time which is why we do not know who belongs to whom. We have brothers, sisters and cousins all together. 4 girls and 3 boys. Skittles and Trinity did a wonderful job at co-parenting. Only 2 are still looking for their furever homes. Aria is a short-haired dilute calico. Maverick is a short-haired grey and white tabby. Both are playful, adventurous and love to climb cat trees. They have lots of energy and love to wrestle with each other. Date of Birth: 04/23/25 Up to date on vaccinations, spayed and FIV/FeLV negative. You must be at least 18 years of age to adopt. If you live in a parent or guardian's home, they must complete the application. An application does not guarantee an adoption.
