Dim Dim was found by a good samaritan outside. The finder took it upon herself to get Dim Dim fixed and vaccinated (we need more people like her in this world). However, she never had any intent on keeping Dim Dim.

Dim Dim is an 8 month old female (although she looks younger in this picture). If you can foster or adopt, please DM us. We will help transport so location doesn't matter.

Stevie Nyx is a survivor (Yes, we know wrong song and artist!) Stevie was found in a 1 bedroom apartment with 30+ cats living in deplorable conditions. All cats came in severely malnourished.

Thanks to our foster, Stevie's personality has bloomed and she has turned into the most perfect house cat anyone could ask for.

Stevie loves to be pet and demands to be the star of the show. She'll make a small chirping sound to remind you to pet her. She is a true black cat - chatty and super intelligent.

She would do best in a home without young rowdy kids and active dogs (she was dog tested with the foster's active dog.) She could use another calm cat as a playmate, and may get along with an old calmer dog.

Stevie's estimated to be 8 or 9 years old. She's spayed, up to date on her vaccines, FIV/FeLV negative, and microchipped.

Apply at gratefulpawsnj.com/adopt to bring this beauty home.

Thank you, Petco in Clark, NJ, and their customers for donating over 100 cans of cat wet food to our rescue! Our fosters and the cats we TNRed love them, and they helped us with the cost during this difficult time.

Make sure you stop at your local Petco store to help them help rescues like us! And if you're at the Clark location, thank them on our behalf and remind them of our good work.

This handsome boy is still looking for his furrever home. He would be an excellent companion for a high energy cat or kitten. He loves to play and chase his foster siblings around the house. He will cuddle up with you once he's done expending the energy. If your cat or kitten is in need of a play buddy to let out some extra energy, White Rabbit is your guy.

White Rabbit is the last of his litter to be adopted. Overlooked because he's not a tiny kitten, he still has some growing to do! He is neutered, vaccinated and FIV/FeLV negative.

To adopt White Rabbit, visit gratefulpawsnj.com/adopt

Anyone who can foster?

UPDATE —- sweet senior Lucy has found a wonderful home to join…we will get her on Tuesday. There are just four cats that are in limbo…rescues please, please step up to help get us to these cats out of the apartment asap! Thank you!!! Update on the cats Anna left behind. Several of us have been working all day to place the 12 cats Anna left behind with her passing. As of this post several rescues have stepped up to take these cats into safety but there are still four more that need placement. Rescues, please if you can take one or two that would be so helpful. There’s a real risk the cats will be put outside if we don’t get them out of there asap. Please text 732.850.0779 or message if you can help. Thank you and thank you Maria Meows , RESCUE RIDGE Grateful Paws NJ
Marissa Marie We are desperate to find a safe landing for Lucy who is a sweet senior who just lost her mom!

It is with a heavy heart I write this post! A fellow rescuer and friend, Anna Fiorelli has made her transition! Last week I asked for help with food for her colonies which a few fellow rescuers are caring for! It's a task alone taking on other colonies when you have many of your own but how could they not? Everyone would want to have their kitties attended to if they could not!
Sadly we received 2 cases of wet food who I believe was for Anna's colony! Miss Pat's Cats has donated food but as many kitties as we feed we cannot continue! So I'm asking for a few folks please donate in honor of Anna! I learned of her passing this morning but knowing her condition was getting grave, I was expecting the bad news! Each of us will leave this world, one way or another, I'm a true believer of "A closed hand and heart receives nothing" May Anna rest easy knowing her colonies are cared for.
Anna also leaves behind 12 indoor furbabies! I'm not sure of any of their medical needs but I'm sure there are people willing to donate to any vetting. Miss Pat's Cats will help if needed.
If any RESCUES ONLY, could take 1 or 2 of Anna's kitties please pm me!
Lastly, I would like to commend Julie Fuselli for one, (I don't know the name of the other loving soul helping with feeding) who stepped up to take on the job of feeding Anna's colonies! Thank you all & God bless!🙏😪
RIP Anna!🙏
Misspatscats.org in honor of Anna!

Munch and Crunch are kittens still in foster care from last season. Since adoptions are so slow they aged out of cute kittenhood and now are adults. We can’t rescue kittens this upcoming kitten season until we get the class of ‘24 adopted.

Look, you can even dress them up! Kitty cows are the best. They have very strong personalities. This duo is the purrfect convo of needs-to-be-in-the-middle-of-everything and I-rather-do-my-own-thing. Neutered, vaccinated and FeLV/FIV negative. They get along with kids and other cats.

Apply at gratefulpawsnj.com/adopt for this bonded brother duo

We are looking for a fospice for this guy. He is hyperthyroid so needs a pill every day in his food (NBD!). 13 years old found wandering the streets. Also partially deaf! He needs somewhere to go ASAP as he is in a holding space for feral cats. He has come so far since he was captured.

He needs a quiet home and to be the only cat or with a very calm cat. He gets easily spooked. If you can’t afford vet bills, fospice is a great way to have a cat. We will pay for his ongoing vet care.

Senior cats are great ESAs (kittens are not!). Trust us on this. DM us if you can help. Will transport anywhere in NJ, NY, CT, RI and MA. 13 years young means you will still have a cat for many years. Cats live up to 18-20.

Happy Sunday from Bluey! He is doing so well in foster care. He’s just a giant teddy bear. I don’t know how anybody could dump this guy.

Bluey is a real live teddy bear. How anyone can kick this guy to the curb is beyond us. Since we received so many donations for him, we bought him a fancy bed which he LOVES and a fancy cat scratcher.

Anything leftover goes right to other animals.
We don’t take a paycheck. We are all volunteers.

Fingers crossed based on his vet visit on Wednesday, we may have an adopter!

UPDATE: We found placement for all 6! They will be living in barns for the winter and when it gets warmer they will have acres of land to frolic on.

🚨🚨 6 CATS SLATED TO BE EUTHANIZED TUESDAY 🚨🚨

These guys came from a horrible hoarding situation and found themselves at a shelter in Northern New Jersey. They are feral and need outdoor homes. They are slated to be euthanized on Tuesday.

If you kare looking for an outdoor feral or have been thinking about it - save a life! Feral cats are great rodent control for gardens and barns. You need to live on a street with low vehicular traffic and in a town where it’s not illegal to have outdoor cats.

The fate of these cats is the fault of humans! They came into the shelter extremely emaciated. The shelter got them fixed and rabies vaccinated. They are ready to go!

DM us if you are interested and we will figure this out.

We are grateful for all the financial support we’ve received for this guy. Bluey (as we are calling him) is so grateful for being rescued.

Let this be a lesson for anyone who gives their pets away to random people. They will wind up on the streets abandoned.

We’ve been funding a lot of TNR in Newark. We really want to get to the source of homeless animals and there aren’t enough people doing that work. The cat population is out of control.

Our trapper trapped this guy today to get neutered and the vet called immediately saying he was friendly, microchipped, toothless and a senior. We called the number on the microchip and got the run around. “Oh, I haven’t had a cat in years. I gave my cats away when I moved. I’ll call you back though.” We know we’re not getting a call back. We also know we can’t put this guy back outside in the freezing temps.

We weren’t prepared for this and have no foster lined up. We also need money to get him to a vet and run a senior blood panel on him. We are told he is a very friendly, chatty guy and he was part of a cat colony and got along with other cats.

We need a foster and donations for this guy. DM us if you can help! He is a beautiful Russian Blue cat.

Ways to donate are in our bio.

He’s currently making biscuits in his crate.
