My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This cat is part of our shelter outreach program where we take pets from overcrowded shelters in hopes of finding them a forever home here! We generally do not have much background info on them. They are all up to date on vaccines, spayed/neutered and microchipped. FIV/Felv negative.

Rudy came to us from an overcrowded NJ shelter where he was he was found as a sickly, neglected stray back in January. Now we know why he's so sweet, mellow, happy and content these days, he's nearly doubled in weight, he's healthy, well-fed, warm and cared for. That was not at all the case when he was found and we can't imagine how this super sweet guy was ever out on the streets, all alone. Rudy is only about a year old and he's full of personality and he positively loves everyone he meets. Rudy has zero shyness about him and he's always ready to get up, get going, and check out new things. While he welcomes all of the attention you'll give him, he will definitely let you know when he's had enough, or even when he hears a noise that startles him. Due to this, he's best in a home with no young kids. He also seems to have an aversion to other cats as well. The good news is, he'll love you as much as a dozen cats would if you give him the great home he's been dreaming of!

*Per JSAC policy, puppies and kittens under 6 months will not be adopted to families with children under the age of 6 years.

Adoption Process

Our friendly, knowledgable team of staff and volunteers would be glad to give you a tour of the shelter and discuss whether one of our furry friends is the right match for your home.

The JSAC has careful policies on the placement of young animals, dominant breed dogs (Rottweilers, Shepherds, Akitas, etc). We have a lifelong return policy for all our pets. We prefer homes in the region so that we can be a resource for the animals and their adopters, however we will adopt out of state to approved adopters. These policies and procedures are in place to protect everyone involved and are very common when rehoming animals, whether through a shelter or a rescue group.

We do not have "same day" adoptions. Rather, an application for an animal is reviewed to ensure that 1) the home has taken good care of their other animals * 2) The animal is permitted in the home and 3) that it is the right home for the right animal (choosing dog that likes cats if cats already in household, etc..). Typically this process takes 24-48 hours. If a dog application is approved and there are other dogs in the home, we have the two (or more) dogs meet; many times if necessary.

More about this shelter

Jersey Shore Animal Center is committed to the care of unwanted, abandoned, sick animals and to the adoption of these animals to responsible, loving homes. To that end, veterinary care is provided as needed, medication and inoculations are given and neutering/spaying is done prior to adoption unless the animal's health or age precludes this procedure.

In addition, a compassionate staff tends to providing for each animal's physical and emotional needs, taking care to keep each one sheltered, clean, well-fed and socialized.
