Interrupting your regularly scheduled scrolling to bring you (drumroll please) … NENE! Nene is a sweet young tabby cat who knows exactly who she is and what she wants. She was living outside in a colony when she was rescued, and she made sure she chose the good life. She jumped into the car like she knew her indoor life was waiting for her and that she is someone’s forever cat. She isn’t shy about asking for attention and softly pats your arm when you are, she would say, slacking a bit. Since the colony, she has met a few other cats and could be a kitty companion with the right introduction! Despite her permanent resting grumpy face (the girlies understand the struggle), she’s VERY attached to her humans and is an adorable cuddle buddy. She is approximately between one and three years old, spayed, and vaccinated. Like any kitty, she is not the biggest fan of loud gatherings and would prefer if you met her in her foster home so she can show you who she really is. If interested, please fill out our adoption application at clawsadopt.org!

Welp… Mother Nature brought us this little fighter, and we couldn’t look away.

Gilly was found alone in the pouring rain, sitting in a puddle, crying and unable to use one of his front legs. Our volunteer rushed him to the emergency vet, where we learned just how serious it is—an open wound on his paw, swelling in another, severely underweight, and close to sepsis.

But here’s the part that gives us hope… he’s purring and making biscuits. This sweet boy is fighting.

Now we’re asking for your help. His care is extensive, and every donation makes a difference in giving him a chance to heal.

Please consider supporting Gilly here:

And when he’s ready, he’ll need a forever home. Could that be you?

Thank you for standing with Gilly. We’re so grateful.

At Closter Animal Welfare Society (CLAWS), the safety of our foster dogs is always our top priority. We use martingale collars to help prevent slipping and ensure our pups stay secure, and every dog wears identification tags so they can always find their way back to us if needed.

These small but essential items make a big difference in keeping our dogs safe while they wait for their forever homes. If you’d like to support our rescue, please consider purchasing from our Amazon wishlist. Every item helps us continue providing the care and protection our fosters deserve.

Thank you for helping us keep our pups safe!

Ho hum ☹️… poor LUNA is being given up AGAIN! She’s coming back from her SECOND home 🥲
Shes trying hard to fit in but she just can’t seem to get it right. She’s social, loves to bird watch, will keep your seat warm when you get up and loves to play with her little toy mouse! She has a little sassy side so she needs an all adult home and someone who has some time and patience to get to know her, love her and give her a FINAL forever home filled with stability and LOVE ❤️ Could that be you???
