Not a Disney villain - but Jafar is still looking for his happily every after 🥰

Jafar is a gorgeous husky that came to us as a lost pet and was sadly never claimed ☹️ This handsome a playful boy is always ready to GO GO GO - toys, hikes, zoomies are all a big yes for this boy ❤️ Jafar is around 1 & 1/2 years young and is friendly with people and likes gentle pets and belly rubs - he’s an all around happy, bouncy boy 🫶🏻 Jafar would love an active family to keep him busy and give him lots of time exercise and enrichment ✅ Jafar could possibly share his home with another well-matched canine companion 🐶

We’re open today through Friday from 12-7pm and then all weekend from 12-5pm so stop in to meet Jafar and all of the other dogs we have waiting for homes 🎉 See more here: bit.ly/3l9EtmZ

A few weeks ago, these babies showed up on a local farm with their momma. We TNR’d momma and the kittens went to a rescue friend of ours (we’re on an intake break) with hopes to socialize them. They’ve been in foster for about two weeks and are as spicy as can be (we’ve socialized many spicy kittens and they’re tough ones). At this time we believe the best thing to do is to TNR them as well, but we hate to do it since they’re only about 10-ish weeks old. They are being spayed and neutered later this week and will go back to their current foster to recover. We would love the happiest ending (a loving family in a home) for these babies, but unfortunately that’s not always the way it goes.

If anyone has experience with super spicy kittens and wants to take them on, please reach out. Also, if you’re able to take them on as working cats and willing to do a proper acclimation, please let us know.

If you are interested in working cats for your barn, garden, garage, greenhouse, etc., please PM me!

There are so many at risk of euthanasia simply because they aren’t socialized enough for indoor homes and can’t be released to where they were trapped.

They are vetted and we help with the relocation process!

If you can’t adopt, please share - their lives depend on it.

Barn home needed!

Update: Barn home found but there are SO many in need so if you’re interested fill out an application at gratefulpawsnj.com/adopt and we’ll be in touch!

This poor guy has been living in a crate for YEARS with absolutely no socialization. Let’s find him his own barn home so he can live the rest of his life FREE and happy.

Willing to transport. Our Feral Cat Relocation program helps support homeowners who live on quiet streets who want to save a feral cat. We’ll guide you along the way and help with vet expenses if anything happens to the cat.

All barn cats are neutered and rabies and distemper vaccinated. There is NO adoption fee for feral cats. However, you will need to feed them and give them fresh water daily and put a winter shelter on your property (if no other place for them to take shelter) - rescue will provide if needed.

We just need your info. Please fill out the application at gratefulpawsnj.com/adopt and put BARN CAT in animal name.

Three lucky semi-feral cats got setup at their new farm home today! 🐈

After several weeks, their crates will be opened to an enclosed room in the barn and a few weeks after that they will have full run of the entire barn and 25 acre farm.

PM us if you’re interested in garden/barn cats! We setup everything you’ll need for the acclimation period, you provide the home and care.

You save their lives and they take care of the mice - win/win! 🐀

Senior Sunday with our sweet boy Rudy 🫶

Rudy is a 14-year-young sweetheart who came to us when his owner went to a nursing home 😓 It’s a big life change for such a loving and loyal boy, but Rudy has adjusted well and is ready for his next chapter ❤️ Rudy is a low-key, quiet, and gentle kitty who loves to lounge around, cuddle up close with his humans, and get lots of soft pets - he also has some playful spurts so you get the best of both words 🎉 Rudy has hyperthyroidism and takes his meds easily in his food, they are inexpensive and we’ll also send him home with some to start ✅

Who’s ready to take a chance on this PURRfect orange dreamsicle? We’re open Monday/Tuesday from 12-5pm and then Wednesday through Friday from 12-7pm. No appointments or applications are needed to visit our shelter - so come on in 😄🐾
