My story

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

This 6-year-old brown tabby has a heartbreaking story we hear all too often. Tessie's senior owner went into a nursing home, and sadly, no family members were able to take her in. After spending six years in a loving home, Tessie now finds herself in a shelter, waiting for someone to give her a second chance.
Tessie is the epitome of sweetness once she gets over her initial shyness. She has lived as an only pet but has been exposed to a small dog and was perfectly fine with them. Since she’s still new to our shelter, we’re still learning how she gets along with other cats.
It's so heartbreaking to see a cat who has known the comfort of a home now living in a cage. Let's change Tessie's story and find her the loving forever home she deserves.


*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.
