Cats for Adoption in Bergen County, NJ: 30 Cats Looking for a Home

Birthdate: 2/17/2021Breed: One of a kindGinger and cream and lovely to touch, FERGIE is turn key ready to love. With a dreamer's soft eyes and an open invitation to share her world with you, she just might be the easy button of cats! A real Southern girl, she is gentle and kind and will lay her head in your hands. Investigating you sweetly with her perfectly pink nose, don't be surprised if you get a small kiss when she claims you as her person. Expressive and loving, if you're late to work again because Fergie would like to snuggle for just five more minutes, don't say we didn't warn you!! The Rescue is open 7 days a week for you to come and meet our pets! Walk-ins are welcome! In order to interact with them, you’ll need a simple questionnaire filled out.

Entrechat & Lenore, both former bottle babies, have never met a human they don't like! Be prepared for your lap to always be warm and cozy with these two in your home! As much as they will love you, these two ADORE one another. Out of their whole litter, these two could always be found snuggled up together. It's so sweet to watch. Consider opening your home to this perfect pair of tabby boys!

Buccal and Maxilla are a once shy pair of kittens who are getting braver every day! Maxilla is slightly shyer than his sister, but give some pets and he will warm right up! They both love to snuggle and play with one another, and have never met a toy they don't want to play with.

Pagoda is a beautiful sweet girl! Having come from a hoarding situation, she is very shy, but learning to come out of her shell. She’s most active and curious at night, exploring the whole apartment and leaving no corner un-sniffed. She’s very food-motivated, licking the plate clean every time and licking Churu off her foster's hand. Around humans, she still gets a little scared. But every night, she claims the pillow where her foster sits, a small sign she’s learning to love.

She’ll do the best with a patient adopter who is willing to take the time to let her blossom. She’s not the cuddliest (not yet!) but coming out of her shell day-by-day.

Venom was deceptively named, as there is nothing venomous about this sweet tabby boy. (Given his propensity to sit on his bum like a little old man, we often call him lil’ Vinny).

Bomboloni is an adorable sweet and adventurous little kitten who loves to play, be pet and massaged, and is really chill as soon as she warms up to the environment. She is friendly and curious and amazing at catching any toy. She spends most of her day cuddled next to me, playing with her sister, discovering things, and purring a lot!

Affogato is an adorable sweet little kitten who loves to play as well! It takes her a little longer than Bomboloni to warm up to an environment but once she does she is just as fast and curious! She also loves to be pet and purrs a ton.

Meet Cannoli & Studio

Cannoli and Studio are a playful, affectionate seven-week-old bonded pair looking for a home together. Although they aren’t siblings, they’ve become a lovely little team and are ready to find a family of their own.

Cannoli is a beautiful white kitty with distinctive markings. She’s a little more cautious than Studio and likes to take her time getting comfortable, but she’s sweet, cuddly and loves affection once she feels safe.

Studio is a handsome tabby boy with plenty of playful energy. He’s curious, outgoing and always ready for a game, but he’s just as happy snuggling up for cuddles and climbing into a welcoming lap.

Cinder & Ash were born in the backyard of an apartment building. Some concerned residents rescued them and brought them to our rescue. A neighbor is currently fostering the two of them, and they are getting braver every day.

These two kittens are understandably terrified of people. Although they still have a long road ahead of them, they do now accept treats from their foster mom's hand. They require love and most importantly patience from a kind individual.

Please note they are too young to be altered. We will work with an adopter to schedule this when the time comes.

Cello is a loving sweet boy that values cuddles and taking cat naps. He’s super playful and great with kids, anyone who will play or snuggle him! He loves dropping down at your feet and playing with your toes (gently).

He’s very polite, and is more on the quiet side. He really only meows when he’s hungry or trying to go somewhere he can’t. He’s a very chill cat and he would be a great addition to any family.

This cat needs to be adopted with a friend -- applications for them as a single cat will not be answered.

This sweet girl is a young mama who had kittens while she was still a kitten herself. Now it’s her turn to be someone’s baby!

Double Dutch can be shy at first, but once she feels comfortable, her affectionate personality really shines. She’ll follow you around, looking for pets and scritches, and happily settle into your lap for some quality cuddle time.

She’s playful, too, but has left the extra-wild kitten stage behind. Double Dutch has the best of both worlds: a fun, playful side and a love for cozy time with her favorite people.

Give this lovely girl a little time to warm up, and you’ll have a devoted little best friend by your side.

Mandible is a graduate of our hissy kitten program - and he passed with flying colors! Once shy and shut down, he's blossomed into an incredibly loving boy, who loves to explore and interact with the world around him. Mandible can often be found at the front door of the cafe, exploring and helping to manage guests.

Pepper is a graduate of our hissy kitten program - and he passed with flying colors! Once shy and shut down, he's blossomed into an incredibly loving and tolerant boy, who loves nothing more than sitting with and getting pets from his people. Watch out though, he has a wild streak and likes to play with his feline friends!

Hubby is a total sweetheart who lives for cuddles and affection. He’s extremely loving, a very calming presence, and he loves people. He gets along great with strangers and is very friendly. He’s 11 years old, food-motivated, and low-key. He’s not a playful cat, so he’s best suited to a laid-back home rather than one with a lot of chaos or other high-energy pets.

Meet Joe Dirt!

Found hanging outside a pizza shop in Brooklyn Heights (a hankering we can all understand), Joe Dirt is ready to find his forever home. At around 1 year old, this handsome orange tuxedo boy has the serious, distinguished air of a much older gentleman.

Move Out is an adorable, gentle girl who will lean into pets once she gets to know and trust you. She particularly likes scratches under her chin. She has come such a long way, from hiding behind furniture to happily taking naps right next to his foster. She is a very quiet and peaceful companion who loves simply being in your space, whether that means lounging on the couch or curling up in a chair next to you.

Tito is the sweetest cat you could find. He loves cuddles, and pets - and he will sit there and demand them! He is a very vocal cat with a quiet gentle voice, and if he needs food or a cleaned litter box, he will let you know. If you have children or young people in your home, Tito is your perfect kitty - he is kind and gentle, doesn’t scratch or bite, but isn’t shy - he will introduce himself to new people with no issue. He is like an animal best friend! If you want an adorable, gentle cat to keep you company, Tito is the way to go.

This cat can be adopted with a friend or as a single cat.

Mama Hellen is a total sweetheart, and she went from hiding behind the toilet to sprawling on the couch, napping next to her people, and leaning into cheek scratches. She loves catching rays in whatever sun spots she can find.

She is calm, quiet, and very well-behaved. She is just starting to work up the courage to swat at some toys. She is the most gentle girl, ready for someone to give her a chance.

Shaggy is such a sweet boy! He’s a pretty independent guy and generally spends most of the day doing his own thing. He loves to find a quiet spot to hide, but enjoys stealing the spotlight on a work call as well! He appreciates the company of people and often comes when called. If you pat the couch he will hop right up and wait expectantly for pets! He has absolutely no sense of personal space and will happily climb all over you on the couch, but is a respectful king at night and will sleep politely at the foot of the bed. He has a strong preference for catnip toys and is very treat motivated! He would probably do best with someone who works from home or is hybrid, as we get the sense he likes having people around.

Meet Sid: the sweetest, most affectionate orange boy (with brains to match!)

Sid spent his early days exploring the great outdoors, and now he’s discovering all the good things indoor life has to offer. Case in point: he only recently met his first Churu. A week ago he wasn’t sure what to do with one; now he’s a certified fan. Similarly, he also just discovered what a reflection in the mirror is. His paws are still getting used to the soft life, and he’s loving every minute of it.

Meet Misky!

Misky is a handsome tuxedo boy, approximately 2 years old, with beautiful golden eyes, the cutest white markings, and lots of love to give! He is incredibly affectionate and loves receiving pets and being close to people. He has a sweet, loving personality, but he also has a playful side and gets the zoomies at night!

Misky enjoys having cozy places to relax and is sure to bring plenty of love, companionship, and entertainment into his future home. He is beyond excited to begin his next adventure. Misky deserves a safe, loving forever home where he can be cherished, spoiled, and loved every single day.

Melina is about 5 months old. She was trapped at a construction site in the Bronx by the rescuer. She is already spayed, tested, and vaccinated. She lives other cats! Des and Brian will foster her.

This is Moniker. He’s about a year old, sleek black with a clean white tuxedo chest and four white socks. His foster says he has been one of the sweetest, most genuinely affectionate cats they've ever lived with.

Birthdate: 9/16/24Breed: One of a kind* I'M PET OF THE WEEK!! *Are you looking for a gem of a cat? Meet Gemstone. This beautiful cat has spent the past few weeks working overtime to care for her precious kittens. Now, she is ready to shine as the center of someone's universe. She is a sweet soul, who will bring glamorous sparkle into your home. Like a true queen, she knows exactly what she wants. She likes routine and someone who appreciates her sophisticated preferences. She prefers to go at her own pace. After being in momma mode, she needs to decompress. But once she lets her guard down, she'll go right into nap mood in a sunny spot and enjoy some gentle scratches.

Soca is the sweetest large angel!!

She is a very chill, 4-year-old gal who wants to play (mostly while laying) and wants to curl up near you all day! She has a big purr that starts up the second you pet her or start talking to her. She is so goofy because if you pet her face too long, she starts to grab your arm to wrestle and give love bites. We think she gets quickly overstimulated which is why the big loving purr turns to attack mode.

She sleeps extremely deeply and twitches a lot in her sleep. When she wakes up, she meows loudly until she figures out where you are. Then it is back to sleep!

Uptown Girl Needs a Home

Galen was found wandering alone on Nagle Avenue in Washington Heights. As it happened to be a spay/neuter day for us, she was quickly whisked off to be spayed, vaccinated, and tested for FIV/FeLV (she’s negative!). We named her Nagel at first, but soon jumbled the letters to make it sound prettier – Galen. Getting to know her has been exciting for her foster person, as she has slowly learned to trust. This one-year-old kitty might do well with another feline or maybe as your one-and-only cat friend. Please consider adopting her or taking her in as a foster-to-adopt. You’ll be glad you did!

Warwick is a playful, loving, and energetic little lady. She loves snuggles and being in the center of any action. A total lap cat, she'd be a fit in any household. Her favorite toys are wands and tiny mice. After enough time playing and exploring, she loves to take long naps in the sun with her best friend Coco.

She has some stomach/absorption issues so is on a special diet. We'd be happy to speak with a potential adopter about this! Her best friend Coco is also on the same diet.

Meet Backwards Oreo (aka Oero!). This sweet girl came to us in rough shape, as an older dumped pet who clearly spent way too long fending for herself outside. We were able to nurse her back to health, and are so happy she's thriving. She loves a lap, and loves to just hang out near her people. She's a very chill girl, but does sometimes get a tiny burst of energy (especially if there's catnip involved!). We haven't observed her around kids but think she'd do very well in pretty much any household.
