🙏🏼🙏🏼A LITTLE HELP PLEASE 🙏🏼🙏🏼

We got a call today that these two adorable brothers are coming back to us 😔… They were adopted out from us when they were kittens but their human mom passed away and they now have nowhere to go… we are THANKFUL that we were contacted as we will ALWAYS take a C.L.A.W.S. animal back but of course we now have to find room for them…we are “foster home” based, meaning we have NO shelter or location and limited foster homes which are always full 😵‍💫.. we’re hoping with this post and plea for help maybe Cole and Tyson could find their new FOREVER home or at least someone willing to foster them while we work on finding them a permanent home… if you are interested in either FOSTERING or ADOPTING them PLEASE call us! 201-768-0200
🐱Cole & Tyson - 2 1/2 year old brothers 🐱

YOU CHOOSE! Pick a cat or dog and pick the medical treatment he or she needs! Anything from a vaccine to a spay or neuter surgery… YOU choose where YOUR money goes! On the first of each month we update the registry with the new cats and dogs that have come into our care. Each animal has a list of the vetting items needed… pick one OR more OR choose to cover ALL of the vetting for that animal 🐶🐱💕…
As you may know, as a non-profit organization, we have to raise ALL of the money needed to take care of the animals that come through our group… with YOUR help we can continue to help unwanted and abandoned animals get the medical care they need… help us to help them heal, feel better and to stay healthy and thrive!! THANK YOU for your past, present and future support for the animals of C.L.A.W.S.
