More babies! 🥰 Finnegan (tabby with green bandana), Sebastian (black), and Elliot (tabby with blue bandana) are looking for homes!

Finnegan is a thinker, a *little* more reserved than his brothers (but still loves to play!), and a sweet little mama's boy.

Sebastian is so silly and super social. He was the hardest to take pictures of because he was too busy playing, exploring, climbing, and being the cutest baby panther in the world.

Elliot is a tiny peanut who makes up for his little size with his big personality! He's so much fun, loves his brothers, and loves hanging with his people.

Please reach out to Grateful Paws NJ for more information! ❤️❤️❤️

There has to be someone out there for sweet Sara! She was adopted as a puppy and then returned years later to NJSH Pet Rescue (a rescue that *always* takes their dogs back if need be). Sara loves people, she's house trained, she's lovely in a home and on walks. Being 4 years old means she's through adolescense and you really know what you're going to get with her and that is a fabulous dog! I've met her - I can vouch!

Sara is searching for a home where she is the only dog. She's been able to walk and interact with a few others but she had minimal exposure growing up so her social skills are a little rusty. She's available through NJSH Pet Rescue to foster or adopt within 60 miles of Chester, NJ. And if you don't have room in your home for Sara, please share her post! 💗

👉🏻 ALL have been adopted! 🎉

KITTENS! 😻 Unfortunately, mild winters mean kitten season comes early. Fortunately, I have a fabulous friend that’s tnr’ing a whole colony in her apartment complex and helping these babies find homes! They were born indoors and mama’s already been spayed and happily returned outside. These little ones are available through Grateful Paws NJ and they’re searching for forever homes! Penelope (female tabby), Tommy (male tuxedo), Poppy (female all black), and Toby (male tabby with white) are adorable, sweet, learning about the world, and ready to find their people. Did you know kittens are best adopted in pairs or to homes with other young, playful kitties? Who wouldn’t want a sister pair or a brother pair? Maybe a set of cute tabby’s? Or a tiny panther and her brother in a tux? Please reach out to foster mom Lauren Irshad or Grateful Paws NJ for more info! 💓

Our sweetest, most perfect, loviest, snuggliest Pine kitty was adopted! He’s been in his new home for about a month and everyone has fallen in love with him. His new mom and dad have a cat, Niko, that’s playful, affectionate, and similar in age to Pine. They were searching for a buddy that would be a good match for Niko and Pine checked all the boxes. It might have taken him a year but our Piney did it- he found the perfect home and I am so, so happy for him! 🥹❤️

Forever grateful for NJSH Pet Rescue saying yes when I asked if I could bring Pine home from the shelter!

Do you all know Maxine? Our very old, semi feral barn cat? She’s been here for 2.5 years and prefers to keep her distance from humans.

I had friends here helping with the animals recently and we noticed that Maxine had blood on her. We lured her into a puppy crate with tuna and off to the ER we went. She has a mass on her belly (that we knew about but she’s a very old lady and the goal was to let her live out her days in peace in the barn) that has a tiny ulceration and she must’ve nicked it on something. She got antibiotics, her nails cut, a couple mats shaved, and flea/tick treatment all while sedated. The vet said as long as she’s eating, drinking, and going to the bathroom, it wasn’t *totally* nuts to bring her home.

So here she is! She’s been hanging in the foster room. If this ends up being too stressful for her, I’ll move her back to the barn. If she’d like to stay in this room, she can do that too. Right now I’m working on finding a food that she loves- seniors are tough but I’m happy to be able to keep a closer eye on her and feed her all the treats she’d like for as long as she has 💗💗💗

I’ve met Sara and she is so, so lovely. Going from a home to a kennel must be so confusing for her. She desperately needs a foster. Please reach out to NJSH Pet Rescue if you can help ❤️

We are heartbroken 💔 for sweet Sara !! Yesterday she had a home - today she is homeless - we need a foster or adopter.

I've met Cinnamon and she's an absolute doll! She's hoping someone will take her home for her golden years 💛

The start of September marked 2 years that these two have been in the backyard! We've had a few health issues with Mel that are now under control and a few diet changes for Marble with the help of a nutritionist (doesn't he look great! still a pony belly but not as ginormous 😅). They're great with the dogs, they're happy to take treats from anyone that comes to visit, and I still am the luckiest that I get to see Mel every day as he gets older - he turned 30 in June! ❤️

My morning was so well spent with these three! Hunter, Duke, and Cooper are all available for adoption through NJSH Pet Rescue. Please check out their Facebook, instagram, and Petfinder for more info on these boys! ❤️❤️❤️

Here is 12 seconds of Pine asking everyone how he, the most 🌟perfect🌟 cat in all of the world, is STILL waiting for a home! Pine has been with us for 7 months and not one person has considered adding him to their family. Please, please share this special boy- he deserves to find his forever home ❤️

Pine is available through NJSH Pet Rescue and can be adopted within 60 miles of Chester, NJ!

A few minutes after I took this picture last week the mailman came and all three dogs ran to the fence. Peach cried out and hobbled back to us after fully tearing what we believe was already a partially torn ACL. Luckily, a hospital in PA was able to get her in this morning for a quick consult and then right into surgery. She’s out of surgery now and did great! The vet and I both agreed that my sensitive girl would prefer to not spend the night at the hospital so we’ll be picking her up in a few hours. We’re ready for some good rest and recovery! 💕

I'm always so busy with the animals over here but I can't forget to tell the world that Mel turned 30 in June! 🥳 He's doing so well on a brand new diet and everything was totally normal in his most recent bloodwork. After 22 years together, I feel so lucky to be celebrating his 30th in our own backyard. Every night before bed I give him a soft peppermint treat (hard treats are tough on his old teeth) and thank him for being the best boy in the world. ❤️❤️❤️

Happy 4th! Stay safe! Always comfort your animals if they’re scared! 💗🎆

Pine had a fun weekend! On Sunday we had friends over with little ones- ages 2,3, and 4. He is always so happy to greet everyone. I picked him up for a snuggle on Monday and he smelled like sunscreen from all of their little hands 🥰

He’s still waiting to find a forever home! All he asks for is lots of love, people to cuddle, and another young, playful cat to pal around with. NJSH Pet Rescue adopts out within 60 miles of Chester, NJ! ❤️ 🌲

Here he is having a morning sunbathe with his mouse!
