13. Melina
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.
14. Galen
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!
15. Harbor & Mariner
Introducing Harbor & Mariner
These sweet kitties have sadly been returned to us after eight years, and Carol picked them up on September 22.
Mariner is the one with more white on his face. They’re both extremely shy right now, which is completely understandable after such a big change, but they are incredibly gentle and sweet.
After eight years in a home, they deserve another chance at the stability and love of a forever family. Please give Harbor & Mariner a chance to feel safe, loved, and at home again.

16. Cinnamon
Spice up Your Life!
Meet Cinnamon! This beautiful girl was found living outside near Yankee Stadium. She quickly warmed up to the kind woman who took her in and brought her to us. Like most calicos, she can be a bit spicy until she feels comfortable in her surroundings. She’s only 7-8 months old, so she would need a kitty companion. Come and check her out!
17. Cabbie
He is FIV positive, but extremely sweet and gentle young boy.
18. Lady Jane & Poupon
Two Russian Blue Cats Need Safe Harbor!
When anyone adopts from The Animal Project, one of their main advantages is the ability to return the cats to us for any reason at any time. Most people see that as a huge safety net, but these misguided adopters decided to sell their cats online instead. Through a caper worthy of James Bond, we were able to retrieve the cats TODAY. Now Lady Jane and Poupon need a place to land! Could you open your heart and home to these sweet refugees?

That donation can be in the form of healthy treats, quality pet food, crates, blankets, new leashes and collars, toys, gift certificates to pet supply stores, kitty litter, etc. -all are gratefully accepted!

Adopting a cat in Saddle River
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.
