Sassy's Story

Meet Sassy, She was adopted from the Montville Animal Shelter in 2019 to a wonderful woman who took great care of her and kept in touch with us. Last year the owner was diagnosed with cancer and she asked one of the animal control officers to watch her for a few days while she went for surgery and of course the officer couldn’t say no. Fast forward to September 2026, Sassy’s owner reached out urgently and said she had to go for an emergency surgery, so the officer agreed to watch her again. Unfortunately her owner didn’t make it out of the hospital alive. Devastated the officer took Sassy in to her home because she felt horrible about putting her in the shelter and wanted to honor the previous owners wishes to find her a great home. So potential adopters can meet Sassy in the officers home which is a minute from the shelter. Sassy is a very sweet girl and loves to purr and rub on you. But she is shy and will run and hide when new people come over. I’ve never seen her hiss, scratch, or bite. She is feline friendly and doesn’t seem to mind calm respectful dogs. Sassy is approximately 9 years old, spayed, microchipped, up to date with vaccinations & parasite preventatives and tested negative for FIV/FeLV. If you would like to meet her please email lpersico@montvillenj.org or call the shelter and ask for Lindsay 973-334-6410 Adoption fee is $50 It would be best to fill out an application prior to coming to speed up the process. If your application is approved, you will be able to adopt the same day!
