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.

Meet River, the gentle giant with a heart as big as his paws!

At 6 years old and 20 pounds, River is currently on a weight-loss journey to help him live his best, healthiest life. He's making great progress with his diet food and loves staying active—whether that's chasing a wand toy, scratching on his scratcher, or showing off his zoomies when he gets a chance to stretch his legs. ‍â™‚ï¸

River is a social guy who seems to enjoy the company of other cats, especially calmer ones closer to his age. Life in a cage isn’t ideal for an active boy like him, though, and he’s dreaming of a forever home where he can run, play, and continue his fitness journey.

Before adoption, River will get a dental to ensure his smile is as charming as his personality. Could your home be the one to help River reach his goals and fill his days with love and fun?

Come meet River today and see if this big-hearted boy is your perfect match!

Contact us for more info or fill out an adoption application online. Let’s get River out of his cage and into your heart. â¤ï¸

*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.
