I have a lovely cat who is calm and absolutely adores snacks! Unfortunately, I'm currently postpartum and facing some financial challenges, plus I'm moving from Jersey. I’m hoping to find someone special who can give him the love and attention he deserves.

Story
This little girl was adopted out by START several years ago. Now, as a senior, Nina is again looking for her forever home. Her “mom” recently passed away and there were no remaining family members to take her in. We welcomed her back as a foster but Nina deserves a family to call her own. She is a beautiful torbie who loves to be held and enjoys a comfortable lap. She has been an only cat for several years but would adapt to companions, given the proper introduction of course. Nina is vaccinated, altered, FeLV/FIV tested negative and microchipped.

Story
Berkeley and her family were rescued from a cat colony in the area. While we were focusing on reducing the overpopulation via TNR, several little guys showed up being all sweet. All seemed healthy with the exception of showing signs of upper respiratory infections. So these lucky ones will get a chance at a safe indoor life. Born in early June, 2021, Berkley is a mackerel tabby girl with a coat of incredible swirls. She definitely had the toughest reaction to adjusting to “life on the inside”. She needs a quiet place with minimal commotion to ease in her transition to a new home. Like her sister, Beck, once you pick Berkeley up she will sit with you comfortably. It may take a while for her to get to that feeling of trusting you. A companion would definitely do her good in a new environment. Please give this girl a chance and your patience is key. Berkeley is vaccinated, altered, FeLV/FIV tested negative and microchipped. If you are interested in adopting this pet, you can start the process and access our pre-adoption application which is located on our website at www.startpets.net, click on Pets for Adoptions then application; complete the form, and submit/send.

Story
S.T.A.R.T. received notification of several kittens romping around a back yard with their feline mother. It took several days of trapping but one by one the litter was rescued and mom was TNR’d. The kittens came in nervous and hissing, which of course was expected. Born in mid June, 2022, we knew they were young enough to acclimate to humans and life indoors. Melba is a grey and white girl who seems a little on guard. Being an active, fidgety kitten, she is not the holding type! Melba needs time to realize that she is safe with you and having a friend would really help in her acclimation. Melba is vaccinated, altered, FeLV/FIV tested negative and microchipped.

The kittens came in nervous and hissing, which of course was expected. Born in mid June, 2022, we knew they were young enough to acclimate to humans and life indoors. Fuzz is a grey and white boy who likes to make his presence known with a hiss! He is still slowly learning to trust and needs his space. He will give you a hard time, tracking him down, but he melts once you pick him up. You can actually feel the stress leave his body once he is in your arms. He really enjoys being held, he just doesn’t know it yet or at least he doesn’t want YOU to know it yet! A buddy would definitely help in his transition to a new home. Fuzz is vaccinated, altered, FeLV/FIV tested negative and microchipped.
