1. Meatloaf

Adult · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 4 mi from Point Pleasant Beach

We do not know his background as he was found roaming and begging for food. He finally found a family that fed him outside and cared for him. One day he showed up with an injured eye. The family reached out to Rescue Ridge and of course he was taken to the vet immediately. Unfortunately, he lost his eye. The one eyed wonder proved extremely friendly, loving and a purr machine. Meatloaf is FIV positive which is not contagious to humans or dogs. FIV is only spread through a deep penetrating bite.

20. Peaches

Senior (10 years) · Female · Dilute Calico / Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 4 mi from Point Pleasant Beach

Meet Peaches! Peaches is a beautiful 10 year old dilute calico who is looking for a warm, cozy and loving place to call home. This sweet senior girl was originally adopted from Rescue Ridge about 6 years ago, but sadly, her owner passed away. Peaches found her way back to us. Peaches is the definition of sweet, laid-back, loving, chill girl. When you approach her, she immediately rubs against your hand asking for pets, and sometimes she will even give you the cutest little crunch meow to let you know she would like some attention. Peaches tends to stick to herself, but we think she would not mind living with other laid-back kitties. Please consider giving this incredible sweet senior girl the warm, peaceful home she’s waiting for.

    Adoption Fees: Dogs $100.00 Cats $45.00 Puppies $75 plus $50 refundable spay/neuter deposit Kittens $30 plus $50 refundable spay/neuter deposit Rabbits $35 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. Please click here for our location and visiting hours. The JSAC has careful policies on the placement of young animals, dominant breed dogs (Rottweilers, Shepherds, Akitas, etc) and we give preference to homes in the Eastern PA, New Jersey, Southern New York and Northern Delaware region (please note: we do not ship animals). We prefer homes in the region so that we can be a resource for the animals and their 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.

Adopting a cat in Point Pleasant Beach

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.

Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
