S.A.R.A. HOLDS PET ADOPTIONS AT PETCO EVERY SATURDAY FROM NOON - 5PM Petco is located in Blue Star Shopping Center In Watchung, NJ and at Route 9 South & Ernston Rd in Old Bridge, NJ!
WANTED - LOVING HOMES THAT WILL PROVIDE TLC, GOOD FOOD AND A WONDERFUL LIFE FOR THESE WONDERFUL CATS WHO TRULY NEED A BETTER LIFE!! CAN YOU PROVIDE THEM A HOME THEY CAN CALL THEIR OWN?
DUE TO THE KITTEN OVERFLOW THIS YEAR AND THE ECONOMY SADLY MORE CATS & KITTENS ARE LOSING HOMES. THUS THE KITTENS WHO ARE TAKEN IN ARE GROWING UP FAST DUE TO THE SLOW DOWN IN ADOPTIONS. THEY ARE BECOMING TEENS. WOULD YOU PLEASE CONSIDER GIVING THESE YOUNG KITTIES A GOOD HOME?
"BERT"
Bert is one lucky fella. He was found after he had been hit by a car and was taken to the vet where he had hip surgery and had half of his tail removed. He has made a full recovery and seems proud of his "half tail". Bert has made great strides since being in foster care, but he remains shy and timid around new humans. He is very cat friendly and does well with the big dogs in his foster home. He is healthy, neutered, current on his vaccinations, and tested negative for FIV/FeLV. He is a quiet, polite and well mannered kitty who probably won't be a lap cat, but would be so happy to have a nice warm bed in a spot that gets lots of sunshine where he can just relax and enjoy his second lease on life.
"LEOTA" Here is petite Leota Our ONE EYED WONDERGIRL, she is a sweetie but shy at first. Sadly the family who was caring for her fought us on her rescue and left these kittens out in the cold for several weeks knowing they were sick. Finally after much begging, they allowed us to remove the kittens. At which time they were immediately taken for treatment. All were cleared of the colds and thankfully all are doing very well. However Leota's colds was so severe that scaring had been left in her eye.
Leota was so bad her eye had to be removed. BUT she knows no different and gets along as if nothing is missing!! She'll never have another eye infection and is now in perfect health!!! She just has that tiny defect, but it makes her no less than a wonderful sweet girl who is in search of a family who will love her anyway.
She is a playful girl who loves her brother, loves other cats and is non aggressive. Once she warms up, she can't get enough of mushing into you. She is truly very loving and adores attention. She is great with our kitten fosters too! She is FIV/FELV negative, updated on all shots, spayed and is dewormed. approx 2 years as of 2/24/10.
"Tabetha, Cami & Lacy"
Three little sweethearts rescued from a condo complex in Florham Park. All three are female grey tigers with hints of brown. Captured at about 10 weeks old, they are now approaching 3 years old and are willing to make great companions. They were understandably shy at first, but are all playful, happy and affectionate little kitties. We are certain that if their new home gives them just a little time to settle in, they’ll soon be crawling in laps to take long cat naps!
Tabitha is the lighter of the three and has captivating eyes. She likes to hog all the attention and the food bowls. She tries to turn inside out and is a loud purr machine when you pet her. Cami & Lacy are almost identical in marking and very hard to tell apart (Cami- Red collar, Lacy – green collar) They are best buds and love to play together. They love to play with fake mice and hide them all over the house. They all love to be held close, cuddle and be petted.
These kittens are current on theirvaccinations, and have tested negative for FeLV and FIV and spayed. These kitties can be seen on adoption days at Petco, Rt. 9 and Ernston Rd in Old Bridge, Saturdays for 12-5.

Who We Are
SARA Inc. is a animal rescue and placement organization. We are a 501c(3) organization, so your donations are tax deductible. We are comprised of devoted volunteers, some with over thirty years of experience. We have a Board of Trustees and Officers who have hands-on knowledge of how to run an effective and efficient animal rescue organization. We are all actively involved and committed to helping as many cats and dogs as we can!
Our focus is cats and kittens. SARA's priority is to get as many rescued animals placed in good and caring homes. One of our main objectives is population control so we also manage feral colonies with a spay/neuter program.
We do not have a shelter. All our animals are fostered in homes and put on display at Petco in Blue Star Shopping Center in Watchung, NJ or Petco in Sayerville on Rt 9. When ready for adoption. If you are interested in adopting in the Watchung area, please call Betty 'B' at (908)464-1203 or contact Kathleen for the Sayerville/Old Bridge area at saracats@aol.com.

AS OF JAN 8 - GREAT NEWS- TABBY'S PLACE VET FEELS CHANCE WILL REGAIN MOST IF NOT ALL OF HIS SIGHT IN TIME-
We want to take this space to thank everyone for the outpouring of LOVE for "Chance" the over 10 year old BLIND cat who was stuck in a basement for the last 10 years! He is saved, rescued and vetted. Chance is doing well. He is FIV/FELV negative, updated on shots, fixed and now safely in his new temporary home at "TABBY'S PLACE" in Ringoe's NJ. When Tabby's Place heard Chance's story, they called and asked if Chance could reside with them. There Chance will be taken care of & they will be able to see how well he gets along with other animals. We already know he does well with people.
If you are interested in adoption of Chance, please contact Tabby's place directly at: http://www.tabbysplace.org/ or 908-237-5300.
Below are some pictures of Chance before and after he was shaved..
If you are interested in adoption of a special needs SARA Cat, we do have several, please take a look at our precious babies on our website, Sonny & Pepper and many others. Thank you!
"DONATION OF FOOD " Canned and dry cat food and litter is always appreciated as well as other items specified on our Wish List. These items can be handed to any of our official volunteers. Other arrangements for donations can be made by contacting the S.A.R.A. location near you.
At certain times of the year, S.A.R.A., Inc. also gathers donated items for garage sales as well as our ebay site.
If you have items that are in good condition and can be used for these occasions, please contact our Fundraising Chairperson at: saracats.julia@gmail.com.
Volunteer Your Time: Volunteers are always needed and very much welcome not only during our Pet Adoption Days on Saturdays, but also in the daily care of the cats and kittens being kept on display at Petco.
Volunteers are also needed for Petco in Old Bridge!
We have recently begun showing some of our cats and kittens at the Petco Gateway Shopping Center, on Rt. 9 in Old Bridge. We are in desperate need of capable volunteers to take one or two slots a week (mornings or evenings) to help with cage cleaning, feeding and caring for our cats and kittens. Please consider being part of a S.A.R.A.'s effort to place even more animals in good, stable homes. Contact Kathleen at 732-309-4089 (or e-mail SARACats@aol.com) if you can help in this area. Volunteers must be at least 18 years old and have dependable transportation.
Foster Homes: Being a foster home is a fantastic experience. Foster homes are always needed to work with cats, kittens for both long and short term periods, depending on the needs of the animal to groom them into adoptable pets.
Be an Angel: Desperately needed are people with big hearts willing to take in a blood positive (feline aids) cat or kitten. Many of these live long, healthy lives. As a note, FIV cannot be transmitted to humans.
