Story

Jax is a handsome, stocky, brown tabby from Hackensack, NJ. He was living with his mother in the parking garage of a condo building. Permission was given to catch them and see if they could be adopted. Mom turned out to be not very nice at all and was TNR'd. Jax had some fire in him, but was deemed workable since he was still young. Jax is going to be a big boy! He has very large paws and a solid build. He has been coming along nicely. Will still hiss, but can be picked up and held. We think he will eventually become a "snuggle bug". He enjoys playing with foil crinkle balls and plastic springs. Approximate DOB - 05/02/22 Up to date on vaccinations, neutered and FIV/FeLV negative. You must be at least 18 years of age to adopt. If you live in a parent or guardian's home, they must complete the application. An application does not guarantee an adoption.

Story

Carly is a sweet and sassy brown tabby from Carlstadt, NJ. She was caught up in the mix of a TNR program and almost put back outside because she was "hissy" and scared but we stepped in and brought her into the Chance at Life family to be worked with. Carly is still a little untrusting but curious. She can be picked up and held, just needs a little time to get comfortable. She loves other cats and has become smitten with our boy "Jax" from Hackensack. She just loves to snuggle with him. We think Carly will continue to flourish with love and patience. Approximate DOB - 06/27/22 Up to date on vaccinations, spayed and FIV/FeLV negative. You must be at least 18 years of age to adopt.

Story

Carina is a beautiful Tabico aka Caliby (half Tabby half Calico). She was trapped as a stray in Bogota by another organization & deemed unadoptable so she was going to be TNR’d (Trap, Neuter, Release). We felt she had potential to be a loving pet/family member and decided to give her a Christmas present by taking her into our rescue on December 21, 2023. She is definitely a work in progress but was already letting us handle her (begrudgingly) 😹 after just a few days. After a week she started to purr. It's still going to take time for Carina to gain trust and get fully comfortable. An adult home would be best for her. Other cats in the home are fine. She does not actively play in front of us, but we know that she does play as she takes her toys into her bed with her and likes catnip. Carina is a good eater and enjoys treats. Approximate DOB 12/18/21. Up to date on vaccinations, spayed, FIV/FeLV negative and microchipped. You must be at least 18 years of age to adopt. If you live in a parent or guardian's home, they must complete the application. An application does not guarantee an adoption. Our cats and kittens are not adopted on a first come, first served basis, but whom we feel would be the best fit for our cats and kittens.

Story

Toulouse is a handsome orange tabby who was trapped on 12/15/23 in Closter as a TNR (Trap, Neuter, Release) but showed signs of being adoptable so we decided to give him a chance at a better life. Much like his namesake, he often tries to appear tough. He is known for puffing up and attempting to hiss when trying to show how tough he is although he is fairly laid-back and easygoing. Toulouse does not know how to play yet and does not have very much interest in treats. He does love his wet food though. Approximate DOB 12/31/22. Up to date on vaccinations, neutered, FIV/FeLV negative and microchipped. You must be at least 18 years of age to adopt. If you live in a parent or guardian's home, they must complete the application. An application does not guarantee an adoption.

Story

Maple is a short-haired Tortoishell. Maple and her brother Oakley were brought into a municipal shelter on July 8 by a Good Samaritan who claimed he found them in Fair Lawn while visiting family. Unfortunately, while on "stray hold" they became sick and had to be put in isolation for weeks while undergoing treatment, so they did not get socialized properly. Once it was determined they were well, it was also decided that they were not adoptable. We felt differently and took them into our rescue. Oakley has already been adopted but Maple is still looking for her furever home. She enjoys being brushed, scratched behind the ears, treats and spring toys. She can be shy but also mischievous. Approximate DOB 04/28/24. Up to date on vaccinations, FIV/FeLV negative, microchipped and spayed. You must be at least 18 years of age to adopt. If you live in a parent or guardian's home, they must complete the application. An application does not guarantee an adoption. Our cats and kittens are not adopted on a first come, first served basis, but whom we feel would be the best fit for our cats and kittens.

Not good with kids, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Fiorella is a beautiful brown/grey, long-haired tabby that joined the Chance at Life family with her sister Serena, at the end of March 2024 from a municipal shelter at the approximate age of 4-5 months young. There were deemed unadoptable due to their temperament and lack of staff to work with them and were going to be put back outside in Cresskill, as part of a TNR program. We felt they deserved a chance to be socialized in a foster home and hopefully find their furever families. We did have to separate Fiorella and Serena as Fiorella was feeding off her sister's negative and aggressive demeanor, making it hard to work with her. Once separated, Fiorella started to make progress. She still is a "work in progress" but has come a long way. She enjoys toys, treats and being brushed as well as scratches under the chin. Her foster mom can kiss her on the face (all this she accepts while still hissing, lol) Fiorella would do best in an adult-only home with someone who realizes she may never be a lap cat. She is fine with other cats and kittens. Approximate DOB 11/03/23. Up to date with vaccinations, spayed, microchipped and FIV/FeLV negative. You must be at least 18 years of age to adopt. If you live in a parent or guardian's home, they must complete the application. An application does not guarantee an adoption. Our cats and kittens are not adopted on a first come, first served basis, but whom we feel would be the best fit for our cats and kittens.
