Story
as of 11/03/2026We're looking for a loving home for our 11-yr-old cat. We've had him since he was a tiny kitten, and he has been part of our family his whole life.He was recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism & since been diagnose with extreme anxiety around our kids, thats led to litter box issues. So for all of his life he has been going in the litter box except for the past few months due to this anxiety. He is on methimazole & prozac now.With a 3-yr-old & 1-year-old in a one-bedroom basement apartment, life is just really full & busy right now. We’ve realized we aren't able to give him the calm space, time, & attention he needs to work through his medical and behavioral challenges the way he deserves.He’s a sweet, sensitive boy who bonds closely with his people and does best in a quieter home. This decision is completely heartbreaking and made out of love for him. We just want to find the right person who can give him the patience and stability he needs in this next stage of life.

Story
Mickey had the same owner for nine years. She adopted him from a shelter, but now she is in a medical nursing home and cannot have pets. She doesn’t have siblings to adopt the cat, and I cannot because of medical reasons also having to do with cancer and my white blood cells. Please help us find Mickey up home even if he has to be put in Foster care first

Story
Got him at 6 months. He is now 3 years old (estimated birthday in August). He only has his right eye from a torn cornea that could g be repaired. He is better than ever with just one eye! He’s pretty long and weighs abt 17lbs. I try my best to make sure he was never overfed, he just has a lot of room for food! He loves to sprint, he only hardly talks when he’s hungry, he’s more of a calm soul most of the time except for when the zoomies hit. He likes to follow and mimic, but is not much of a cuddler. He doesnt mind being picked up. He is not violent, does not attack, bite or scratch when approached. If he is uncomfortable or annoyed he would rather walk away and he loves his alone time too. He is perfectly healthy! Please reach out with any additional questions!

Meet Bradford! Bradford is a handsome tuxedo gentleman with an independent spirit and a very important mission in life: finding a barn to call home and keeping the mice on their toes!

He’d love a safe barn or farm setting where he can enjoy the outdoors and put his natural hunting instincts to good use.Bradford is an independent guy who knows what he likes, and what he likes is having a job to do! Give him a cozy place to shelter, a safe environment to explore, and some mice to chase, and he’ll be one happy barn cat.If you’re looking for a self-sufficient, handsome tuxedo boy to join your barn crew, Bradford might just be the perfect candidate!If you are interested in meeting Bradford, visit or call the shelter - or complete an online adoption questionnaire and a shelter team member will reach out to schedule and introduction! https://hamiltonmcnj.seamlessdocs.com/f/AdoptionApplicationHamilton Township Animal Shelter cannot offer any guarantees on the age, health, temperament, personality or mental disposition of any pet.
