Animal Welfare Association South Jersey's oldest and largest animal shelter, low-cost pet clinic and much, much more! NOTE: Our Clinic and Adoption Center have different hours.

AWA was founded in 1948 by a small group of community activists who wanted to address and help the issue of unwanted pets in our community. In our adoption program, we have dogs and puppies, cats and kittens, rabbits, guinea pigs and other small animals. We also have a pet clinic that allows us to further our mission to provide affordable, high-quality healthcare to pets in our community. You can

bring your pet in for routine exams, vaccines, spaying/neutering and more. For more information, please visit https://www.awanj.org/pet-clinic/

It's Tuxedo Tuesday!
Hello, I'm Havarti, the queen of mischief! I'm a cuddle bug with a knack for playfulness. My sweetness is as rich as the cheese I'm named after. I'll make your life a comedy show, filled with purrs and paws. I believe in playing hard and napping harder. Adopt me and we can nap the day away, together of course!

✨ Foster Friday Feature! Meet Puddles, Trixie, Rain, and Felix! ✨

It looks like "Kitten Season" is turning into "Kitten Year" here at AWA—maybe it never really ends? Either way, these four sweet kittens are proof that kittens are always in season!

Puddles, Trixie, Rain, and Felix came to us as tiny 3 ½-week-old babies, still figuring out bottle feedings and slowly transitioning to solid food. Found outside in a backyard, they needed immediate help—and thankfully, they found a loving foster family to give them the care they needed. Their foster family shares: “Bottle feeding every 4 hours was a lot of work, but we loved every second of it! Puddles had a rough start with an abscess on her neck, but thanks to the amazing AWA medical team, she’s doing much better now! These four have loved playing with our foster dog sister, Baby, and zooming around the room. It’s going to be hard to say goodbye, but we know they’re ready for their forever homes!"

These playful, purring kittens are now ready to find their forever families! If you're interested in fostering or adopting, please reach out to Cole at [email protected].

A huge thank you to our incredible foster families for all the love and care you give. Kitten Year is in full swing—let's make sure these little ones find the perfect home! 🐾

Get your bids in! 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 is activated for the 𝕂𝕚𝕓𝕓𝕝𝕖𝕤 & 𝔹𝕚𝕕𝕤 𝕆𝕟𝕝𝕚𝕟𝕖 𝔸𝕦𝕔𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟. Here’s what that means:

If someone places a bid on an item within the final 3 minutes of the auction (6:57 – 7:00 PM), bidding 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙢 will be extended for another 3 minutes. This continues until there are no more bids placed during the 3-minute extension period, or we hit 7:30 PM.

In other words, “it’s not over till it’s over!” So decide which item you’re willing to fight for, grab your favorite beverage, and settle in for a friendly bidding war… maybe.
Our AWA animals are the big winners in this auction, but we hope YOU win, too!

Remember shipping is not available for auction items, so make sure you have a plan for pickup at the shelter this Sunday or Monday. See you then!

Teen Cat Tuesday
Featuring our community room of young adults y’know teens, not quite kittens and not quite adults.
Our community cat room is now the place where all the cool kids hang. It is full of so much energy and fun with the kittens who are growing into adult cathood here. They are not quite babies anymore and not quite yet adults. This space is like sleep away camp or your buddy’s dorm room where everyone comes to hang out.
Meet the crew:
*Pooh: male 3.5 m old; his teen trait is he gets angry when his kibble bowl is empty
*Alexandria: female 5.5m old; she’s never in a bad mood because she never has a bad hair day
*Tony: male 5.5m old; he has selective hearing syndrome, you call him – he doesn’t hear you, you open a can all of a sudden he has bionic hearing and comes running
*Casey: male 6m; forever meowing feed me and at the fridge with the door open or in his case the food bowl
*Brad: male 6m; he doesn’t leave his clothes lying all over his room but his toys sure are
These teens don’t come with cell phones, they don’t talk back and being grounded and stuck out home with you is what they are hoping for. If their pictures don’t entice you, their teenage antics sure will. Come adopt one or two!!

AWA Alumni Duey and Sutton know all about how much it means to find a happy home through AWA. Let's eavesdrop on their conversation about the 𝗞𝗶𝗯𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗶𝗱𝘀 𝗢𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗔𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. Every bid helps care for a homeless pet until their forever family finds them!

The auction is open until November 7. Winning bidders can pick up their items at AWA on Nov. 10 and 11. (Sorry, shipping is not available).

Remember, you're not really paying $100 for a mug (or whatever)... you're making a generous donation and getting a cool item for free!

It’s “Invite a Bidder to the Auction” Day! Yes, we just made that up, but we’re serious about asking you to tell all your local friends about our online auction to benefit AWA’s animals. Can our animals count on you?

Every winning bid represents a donation to AWA; sharing costs nothing. https://www.32auctions.com/awanj2024

Thank you from Team Kibbles and Bits and all our shelter animals!
