FOSTERING KITTENS

We take in various ages of kittens during the spring and summer months. Sometimes we get called out on a daily basis by residents who find kittens on their property. We take in anything from newborn kittens that need regular bottle feeding, to older ones that primarily need socialization. We rely on dedicated and caring foster families to help us with the care of our young kittens. If you are interested in fostering, please contact us, as we are always looking to get more people involved.

Adopted!
Meet Maisie! She is a uniquely stunning girl with the biggest ears and the greatest personality! Maisie came to us as a stray and was sadly not reclaimed. We cant believe her owner's didn't come looking for her because she is such a great dog! Maisie is incredibly friendly, loves attention, and has been showing positive interest in both dogs and cats. Estimated to be 4 years old, Maisie is the perfect mix of playful and mature. She enjoys playing ball but is equally satisfied laying next to you for snuggles and chin scratches. Maisie weighs 60 pounds, is spayed and UTD on vaccines.

If you’re interested in meeting Maisie, please submit an adoption application via the link below. Applications will be processed and suitable homes will be contacted in a timely manner to schedule a meet and greet.

‼️RESCUE NEEDED‼️
We are looking for a rescue group willing to take on Cooper, a 5 year old Shih Tzu with some behavioral issues. He is not available for adoption at this time. Just hours before his family was moving out of state they surrendered him to us because they didn't want him any more. They told us he is not good with strangers, has bitten, and will bite for grooming. With time and patience, he has now allowed us to handle him and likes being petted. Please share this post. We are hopeful a rescue will be able to take him and work with him so that he can be placed in a new appropriate home. If your rescue group would like more infomation please call us 973-263-7083 or email us [email protected] .
