Carina

Domestic Shorthair

Female, 3 yrs 11 mos

River Edge, NJ

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

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.

Jax

Domestic Shorthair

Details

Good with kids, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

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.

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.

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.

Maple

Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Maple is a short-haired Tortoishell. Maple and her brother Oakley were brought into a municipal shelter on July 8 by a Good Samaritan who claimed he found them in Fair Lawn while visiting family. Unfortunately, while on "stray hold" they became sick and had to be put in isolation for weeks while undergoing treatment, so they did not get socialized properly. Once it was determined they were well, it was also decided that they were not adoptable. We felt differently and took them into our rescue. Oakley has already been adopted but Maple is still looking for her furever home. She enjoys being brushed, scratched behind the ears, treats and spring toys. She can be shy but also mischievous. Approximate DOB 04/28/24. Up to date on vaccinations, FIV/FeLV negative, microchipped and spayed. 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.
