‼️DONATIONS NEEDED FOR OPHELIA - PLEASE HELP US SAVE HER LIFE‼️
Ophelia was transferred a little over a week ago from the Trenton Animal Shelter and was placed in a foster home. Unfortunately just a few short days later she began to show symptoms of illness and was moved to a medical foster. Despite our best efforts she had to be relocated once again and has been at Blue Pearl in Levittown since yesterday. This little girl is SO sweet and is defying odds and has already improved, but needs more time in hospital. She was diagnosed with panleukopenia, a virus that cats receive protection for in the FVRCP (distemper) vaccine. Unfortunately she received a vaccine on intake but it wasn’t enough to give her enough immunity. Her estimate (included in this post) can be anywhere from $4400-6500. We know it’s a lot, but if you met her you’d see an adorably sweet kitten who loves to cuddle and receive affection. She’s only three months old and has so much life to live, she just needs a little more time to recover. PLEASE consider donating to her care so we can continue to give her a chance! Please share if you can, Ophelia needs us!

Rhett and Melanie are a 14 week old brother-sister duo that were bottle fed by our amazing assistant shelter manager and bottle baby extraordinaire, Kim, after they were born and their mom, Scarlett, became sick. They had a tough uphill battle, but with the care and nurturing of Kim, these two are ready to find their forever home. Being bottle fed makes them endearing in that they have a special bond with their human. They are also dog friendly. They are super cuddly and sweet, yet playful and full of spirit. If interested in meeting them, please go to www.easelnj.org/application-cat/

And single kitten, Cuddles, will join an Easel alumni cat. Also another of our hoarding cats, Wilameana, found a wonderful home. Happy Tails to all. - Cat Momma❤️😻🐾

Niecy Nash just returned from foster and is ready to find a forever home! This sweet and beautiful girl arrived at EASEL back in mid November from the hoarding case and was one of the last cats we received. She wasn’t in great condition when she arrived but with some TLC in her foster she has come out of her shell and is thriving. She is estimated to be about three years old and has a petite frame. She is very friendly and enjoys the company of humans, especially if there’s petting involved. She will twirl around and solicit as much attention as she can get! She will make an excellent companion in many different homes if she’s just given a chance. To adopt Niecy Nash or any of our wonderful cats please apply here! —> www.easelnj.org/application-cat/

This sweet pair is part of our hoarding case and they’ve been patiently waiting at the shelter for someone to scoop them up! Gracie is a playful, spry young girl who enjoyed toys and affection. Palmer is friendly and loves to be pet and cuddle Gracie whenever he can. They are both beautiful, social, and ready to meet you! They’re so deserving of a great home!

Eddie is our this week and we’d love to find this boy a wonderful home. Eddie was adopted a few months ago but sadly is being returned. This sweet and handsome guy is looking for new digs with a fenced in yard where he can run around and play freely. He walks VERY well on leash but he has more energy than leash walks can handle. He is obedient, housebroken, crate trained and knows many basic commands. He is about 1.5-2 years old and is ready to start the next chapter of his life! To adopt Eddie please apply here —> www.easelnj.org/application-dog/

Gilbert crossed the Rainbow Bridge yesterday surrounded by his loving foster family. He had been in a doting foster home for the last year where he enjoyed home cooked meals, dog and feline companions and all the love he could receive. Since April he has been battling ongoing kidney and urinary issues and underwent several different treatments and procedures including ultrasounds, X-rays, several rounds of bloodwork, medications, bi-weekly to weekly fluids, diet changes and even surgery. A suspected kidney cancer diagnosis is what we were up against and we tried to make him as comfortable as we could for as long as he was willing to fight. Over the last week he drastically slowed down, had no appetite and what he did eat he had a difficult time keeping down. We tried to give him comfort but eventually his discomfort began to far outweigh his happiness. We made the difficult decision to let him go before his suffering continued. He spent his last night snuggled up to his foster mom and was comforted in his last moments which were peaceful. We want to thank volunteer Lauren for her unwavering commitment to Gilbert as she traveled weekly to administer fluids, drive him to appointments and show him extra love every time she visited. We want to thank his foster mom for opening her heart and home to Gilbert for the last year. Surely this was the most love he’s ever experienced and he wouldn’t have been able to experience any of it without her. We find comfort knowing he was spoiled with human food and daily outings, a warm couch to snooze on, plenty of blankets, sweaters and coats to keep him toasty, and most importantly love. We are so sad, but find peace knowing he is free of pain and discomfort and enjoyed his life until the end. He will be greatly missed by the staff, volunteers and his foster family but will always be remembered for the Good Boy that he was. He had a giant smile with a twinkle in his eye, a love for treats like no other and a wonderful heart that we will all miss. We’ll see you at the rainbow bridge Buddy and we’ll always keep these memories close to us.

We started off the New Year with 23 adoptions!! The last of our Florida cats, Raven, was adopted and went home to another feline friend. Many of our hoarding cats, Kaden, Jace, Aaron, Xavier, Ivy, Vee, and Jimmie Johnson found homes. Two of our older kittens, Stormy and Sidney, finally won their freedom. Bottle baby kittens, Mack and Grayson, won over their new family with their charm and cuteness, as did Merlin, Arthur, and Guinevere. Sparky (originally called Sparkplug) became a foster fail and will be joined by shelter favorite, Tang in his foster home. Sweet Sarabi went to a wonderful home and will get all the love and attention that she deserves. Polly and Dak will be part of the foster’s immediate family and Penny and Archie will also stay with the family who trapped them. It was a great start to the New Year.

We are raising money for GivingTuesday - a global day of giving! Please donate if you can - no amount is too small. Our animals appreciate your love and support!

Okrah enjoyed soaking up the last nice fall days with her foster dad! She’s ready to find her forever home after spending much needed time in a foster home with a little extra TLC. If you remember her story, Okrah was found as a stray running with another dog (Glo) and it took several days before she could be captured. She started off in our care fearful, nervous and lacking confidence. She was emaciated with terrible skin, over bred and discarded like trash. She is a completely different dog now with confidence, energy and spunk! There is both love and hope in her eyes and she greets everyone with an open heart. She is about 6 years old and would love a relaxed home where she can hangout on the couch (or your lap) and go on leisurely adventures. She is crate trained, house broken and has many good years ahead of her. If interested in adopting Okrah please apply here! —> www.easelnj.org/application-dog/

This #tongueouttuesday we are featuring Betty with the hopes of finding her a foster family so she can enjoy the comforts of a home instead of living at the shelter. She has been in our care for 6 weeks and during that time has only been shown love and affection but it’s not the same as an actual home. Betty came to us as a stray, emaciated and confused. Two days after her arrival she suffered a Grand Mal seizure and we did not know if she was going to be able to recover due to the severity of it. Resilience in Betty won and she has been thriving on anti-seizure medication (twice daily) and steroids (once daily). She has been seizure free since starting her medication and has gained weight, regained energy and is quite the happy dog. She very happily takes her medication in hot dogs and throughly enjoys going for casual walks. She has met other dogs and existed well with them. She is a very sweet girl who deserves to be pampered in her Golden Years. We understand expecting someone to adopt her knowing her medical issues may be difficult, and we don’t know what sort of timeline she has so we are on the lookout for a foster home who can at least provide love and comfort for her. If interested in helping Betty or fostering any of the other dogs at the shelter please apply here —> www.easelnj.org/application-dog/

Happy Halloween to all from the cats, dogs, volunteers and staff at EASEL! We hope everyone has a fun and safe day!
