Who We Are
We are a small group of volunteers that give a second chance to homeless and orphaned cats. We provide them with warmth, shelter, food, water, and love. We give them all the medical care they need. We keep them safe and prevent them from abuse. We work tirelessly to match each and every one of them with a loving and permanent home best suited for the animal and the pet owner.We are dedicated to educating the public concerning the issues of proper pet care and the importance of spaying and neutering.
To do all this and more, we need whatever help the public can provide to us so these unwanted kitties can live the happy and healthy lives they deserve. You'd be surprised how far even the smallest donation can go! If you cannot give them a home, offer them hope. Every donation helps us rescue and help one more animal, and we humbly accept any contribution you might be able to help us with.

Our Featured Pet...
This handsome boy is Cranky Pants!
Don't let his name fool you-- he is the SWEETEST cat ever. Cranky Pants was found outside on a cold winter day, without any front claws to defend himself. He is also a polydactyl cat, meaning he has an extra toe on each of his front paws. After being inside for a couple of months now, his personality is really shining. He is an extremely playful cat. Although he is 8-9 years old, he is a kitten at heart. Cranky Pants is full of energy and love. He adores being around people and enjoys getting attention. He would be the purrr-fect addition to your home! Come visit him in the adoption room!
News and Events
ADOPTION DAYS
An adoption representative will be available in our adoption room at Manalapan PETsMART at various times each Saturday and Sunday. If you are interested in adopting a cat or kitten, we strongly recommend that you make an appointment, so we can ensure that a representative will be available to meet with you. We have many cats/kittens available for adoption that are at PETsMART as well as living in foster homes that may not yet be listed on petfinder.com. To make an appointment or to find out about cats that are not yet listed, please call 732-549-1270.
WE URGENTLY NEED FOSTER HOMES!
This is a perfect opportunity to help if you've always wanted to make a difference but don't feel that you can make the long term commitment to adopt an animal. To foster means that you would temporarily house the animal for us. You provide housing, warmth, love, hugs & kisses while we provide food and any vet care needed. To foster a kitty in need truly saves a life and helps us immensely in our efforts. To inquire about fostering a cat or a kitten, please call 732-549-1270.
Adopting a Friend for Life
Saving one cat won't change the world, but surely the world will change for that one cat.
If you are looking to adopt a cat/kitten and there are no other cats in the house already, PLEASE consider adopting two together. Kittens and most cats want and need a playmate. This way, they have a friend to play with, to snuggle in their bed with, and a friend to keep them company when you are not home. Please don?t think that by adopting more than one, that the cats will bond with each other and not with you. They will still crave your attention. What?s better than having a kitty in your lap? -- Having two kitties!
If you have your mind set on adopting only one cat, please consider adopting a cat that would prefer to be the only cat. Some cats do not get along with other cats because they want all the attention for themselves. We have some kitties that need to be placed into a one cat only household. Please ask for guidance from your adoption counselor.
Do you consider yourself a true animal lover? If the answer is Yes, why not think about adopting a cat with a disability. These cats need and deserve a good home just as much, if not more than a cat without a disability. Please consider opening your heart and home to a kitty with special needs; the rewards are endless.
Lexus passed over the Rainbow Bridge on January 19, 2010. She was loved by all who had the pleasure of meeting her. She will be missed.
Diane Ketcham, one of our volunteers, took in little Georgie, our orange and white kitten, when she was only a bottle baby. The picture above shows Georgie sleeping on top of Diane's chocolate Lab, Lexus. When Georgie was 8 weeks old, we put her up for adoption and Diane would take her for the day to PetSmart so people could see her. Although Georgie is super sweet and adorable, she does have a slight neurological problem which causes her to walk a little funny, sort of like she's drunk. Many families were interested in adopting Georgie, but when we told them about her problem, no one wanted her. Isn't it a shame that everyone wants "pretty and perfect". Well Georgie lucked out, because Lexus, the Ketcham's family chocolate Lab has decided to adopt little Georgie. Georgie now has a permanent home with Diane and her husband, their Lab, two other adult cats and occasionally some foster kitties.
