Story
My name is Sara Sweet and I'm a beautiful old gray and white little girl. This is my story. When my family's living situation changed, they put me outside. I joined a colony, and a kind woman took care of me and the other cats. Then, she brought me to Rescue Ridge. At first, I was nervous, but as I got to know the volunteers my true personality came out. I am sweet, affectionate, and observant. I like to watch everything that is going on.   I like to play, and I enjoy the company of other cats. Therefore, I would do best in a home with another cat as a companion. My special wish is to join a family who will give me lots of love. In return, I will be your best friend and loyal companion. I am spayed and up to date with vaccines. So, I'm all ready to be yours. If you are interested in meeting me, please go to our website at rescueridge.com and fill out an adoption application.  1 Attached ImagesVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 28, 2024, 11:16 pm

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.wagoninn.rescuegroups.org    BOOST is a very pretty & sweet kitty  hoping to find her forever home!   She loves to be pet and loves to play with her toys.  She  also loves to hang out & is very chill.   Boost's foster parents say that another one of Boost's fav things is to join them in yoga ~ she loves to go in and out of poses!   Boost is really a great cat and has waited a very long time for her forever home.  She was surrendered by her owner over a year ago through no fault of her own.   Boost is currently in a foster home with 2 cats and doing very well.  She might do ok in a home w/other cats but adopter would need to be patient and do a slow intro.  Boost would probably do best as your one & only.     Boost is Spayed, Up to date w/Rabies & FVRCP & Microchipped.  She tested neg/neg re: FIV/FeLV.    Cat Adoption fee = $125 Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 28, 2024, 10:32 pm

Story
Ruby is sweet, loves attention and Ruby was adopted and returned because she didn't want to play. She's such a good girl and only wants to snuggle, get pet, have your attention, and relax in a soft bed. She never tires of you touching her. She is not a fan of being picked up and prefers you to be by her side. Although she is only about 2 years old, she's an old soul at heart. Ruby is not the cat for you if you want active. She is very calm and mellow and totally into relaxing and lounging. Ruby and her sister Emerald were rescued from a family's garage where they had both been living. The family fed them since they were kittens but didn't let them in the house. The inevitable happened and both had kittens. By the time we came along the daily had given away some of the babies even though there weren't eating on their own. We rescued the moms and remaining babies and this sweet gentle momma is the last one looking for her home! Apply today to take her home

Story
NOV 2023   This precious feline sadly just hit her 1 year anniversary at the shelter and has spent most of her life here. Despite her shy nature, Odalis has stolen our hearts with her gentle spirit. Let's give Odalis the loving home she truly deserves! Share your heart and make her dreams come true.  Adopt the quiet ones—they need your love the most.    Update 2-12-23 Beautiful Odalis with the prettiest eyes. Odalis is 8 months old, a bit shy and would benefit from a home with another cat and a family that is patient. Please consider the quiet shy ones, they need you most! Kids 7+   10-27-22 5-6 months old, she is the sister of Corbin.   This little girl and her brother were found outside as strays.  She's about 4-5 months old.  She is a little scared and will need a home with some patience to help bring her out of his shell.  Other cats in the home would be great as well.  Kids 7+  *Per JSAC policy, puppies and kittens under 6 months will not be adopted to families with children under the age of 6 years.April 28, 2024, 6:27 pm

Story
7-24-23  Updates from Gracie's foster mom.     'Gracie is meant for a home and not a shelter.  She is your typical older cat, she loves a routine.  After her morning brushing and being fed she can be found on top of her cat tree looking out the window, on the porch or sometimes she just hangs out under the bed and naps.  She will greet anyone who comes in but is also okay with time alone if I'm away for a few hours.  Her special diet has solved her digestive problems and she is very content.'   Gracie is 11 years old and available for adoption.  Gracie does need to be on a Rx diet of Hill's Gastrointestinal Biome Dry Cat Food.       5-12-23 Gracie is currently in foster care.  If interested in Gracie please call our shelter or fill out an online application.   Update:  Gracie has been making great strides in the last couple weeks.  She is affectionate and out exploring.   Gracie has been returned after being in a home since 2013.  Her senior owners were no longer able to care for her.  She is very overweight so we have her on diet food and trying to give her some more exercise so she gets back down to a healthy weight.  She is now almost 11 years old.  Its so sad when after living in a home, Gracie now has to get used to life in a cage.  She is nervous and scared which is easy to understand.  Please apply to adopt this sweet girl.  She lived her life as an only cat so we are unsure of her feelings towards other pets.  Better suited for a cat experienced home. Can live with a calm older dog that is used to cats.  *Per JSAC policy, puppies and kittens under 6 months will not be adopted to families with children under the age of 6 years.April 28, 2024, 6:27 pm

1-3-23   Midnight sadly has been with us for over a year.  Shelter life is getting tough for this boy, he needs out.  This little boy has spent most of his life in our Shelter. Midnight is 1 1/2 years old, loves to play, wand toys are his favorite and he is so eager to discover what a sunny window looks and feels like.  Happiest as the only pet, kids 10+.    12-15-22 Midnight was found outside as a stray kitten.  A good Samaritan took him in but unfortunately they were not able to keep him.  He is about 6 months old.  He is up to date on vaccines, FIV/Felv negative and we had him neutered.  He does have corneal scarring in one eye which impairs his vision.  There is no need for surgery, he is a healthy boy and can live a full life.  He is a very frisky boy and loves to play with his favorite wand toy.  Better suited in a cat savvy home that will give him a little time to settle in and get used you.  Kids 10+*Per JSAC policy, puppies and kittens under 6 months will not be adopted to families with children under the age of 6 years.April 28, 2024, 6:27 pm

Story
Pewter is affectionate and sweet, if a bit reserved at first. He loves to play with toys and is curious about dogs and other cats. He's fully vetted and ready to adopt. He was born in May 2022. He is super soft with a big, thick coat. Ok with dogs and cats but couldn't care less if they are around. Sometimes cuddles with brother and sister. He needs a nice calm environment with an adopter willing to give him time to adjust. Pewter is a bit shy. It takes time and patience for him to come to you but accepts pets and cuddles if you go to him. He has a lower activity level than most kitties his age and very serious look as he contemplates everything around him.

These pups are in Spring Lake, New Jersey too!

Story
timid, sweet tabby girlThis delightful kitty is a brown tabby named Paula! Paula was brought in as a kitten with her brother from the streets and he’s since been adopted. Paula is a bit timid yet super gentle. She really loves the laser pointer and once she’s comfy you can pet her whole body all over and she rolls all around and purrs and it’s the cutest thing ever. She’s truly hilarious and sweet and would make any family super happy. She gets along with other cats but could also be your one and only. She would be best in a quiet home.

Story
Shy beautiful pantherMontana was living on the street until his feeder and a volunteer with the rescue trapped him and brought him to the rescue. He is is shy at first but once you gain his trust he is very affectionate and loving. He loves to make biscuits, get pets, climb cat trees, and eat treats. He likes to play with teaser toys. He gets along with other cats and is not at all a dominant male. Montana is a lover, not a fighter. He still hides from people with loud voices and when more than a few people are in his living area. He would do best in a quiet home. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 28, 2024, 11:16 pm

Story
curious black catBeanie was an indoor/outdoor cat who had a few litters of kittens before her former owners asked the rescue for help. She is very curious. She loves to play as well as get pets on her face and under her chin. Sometimes she can be feisty and will bat you once she has had enough pets. However, the sassiness has diminished over time and she is very loving. She has been known to be an escape artist so caution going in and out of doors would be needed for her new family. She coexists with other cats but doesn't love them. She would do well as your only cat or with a mellow cat sibling.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 28, 2024, 11:16 pm
