My story

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

Benjamin came to us nervous and confused, clinging to his cage mate that he was surrendered with. With his long hair that needs more regular grooming, we found a very large mat of hair on his rear end that was the size of a golf ball! We removed it and he feels so much more comfortable.

Benjamin seems that he was not regularly given veggies so we are starting to have him learn that they are a great and tasty part of his diet and he is slowly coming out of his shell!

He is looking for a deserving and patient home who will continue to get him on the right track and continue to care for his specific needs. In addition to someone who can keep his beautiful coat healthy and tangle free.

Benjamin and Dimitri are 2 bonded boys together, so they would need to go home together, but that just means double the love!

More about this shelter

Ramapo-Bergen Animal Refuge, Inc. is founded on the belief that all animals have a natural right to humane treatment including proper care and safe shelter. Due to overpopulation, there are insufficient homes for most cats and dogs. Some are lucky enough to find temporary shelter and a few even find permanent homes. However it is a devastating fact that the majority are either euthanized or forced to chance life without shelter.

To support our belief and to relieve the unnecessary suffering of animals, we shall:
1.Extend every effort to find, evaluate, and secure good adoptive homes for animals in our care.
2.Provide animals with medical services and behavior therapy to the extent of our ability.
3.Adhere to a “no-kill” policy: animals shall not be euthanized for the purpose of providing space for new animals.
4.Adhere to a 100% spay and neuter policy.
5.Maintain continuing humane education programs and in particular to schools.
