Looking for a loyal and gentle feline companion? Shy cats might take a little extra time to warm up, but their love and trust are so worth it. Here are a few of our kitties who can be described as a bit on the shy side:

Button: Hey there, I’m Button (as in, cute as a button!). I’m a tiny tuxedo girl with little white paws and the sweetest white whiskers. I might look like I’m ready for a fancy party, but the truth is I’m a bit of a wallflower—I’ve always liked hiding behind my brother, Trumpet, and my sister, Truffles. Being brave on my own is something I’m still learning. If you give me a bit of time and patience, you’ll see my playful side start to peek out. I’m a champ with the litter box, I love batting at toys, and I’m always excited for dinner. I know it takes me a little while to trust, but I promise that once I do, I’ll be a loyal friend who’s ready to curl up next to you. If you think you’re the person who can help me come out of my shell, I’d love to be your little Button.

Miko: Meet Miko, a gentle, quiet kitty soul who finds comfort in the company of his brothers, Pluto and Cairo. Miko may be a bit shy at first, but once he feels safe, he melts for head scratches and can’t resist a tasty snack. He’s the kind of kitty who builds deep bonds and offers a unique kind of love and loyalty that’s truly special. Because Miko takes his time to open up, he’d do best in a calm, quiet home where he can settle in at his own pace. If you’re someone who appreciates a slow bloom and wants a loyal companion, Miko just might be the perfect match.

Juniper: Come meet sweet Juniper, affectionately known as “Junie”! This little cutie may be a bit shy at first, but once she feels comfortable, her gentle, laid-back nature shines through—and so does her steady purr! Juniper is currently being fostered with other cats and is learning the joys of companionship.

Meet Mikai, an 8-month-old Shepherd mix who’s looking for a home that understands the heart of a working dog. With the spirit and drive of a typical shepherd, Mikai is an energetic, intelligent, and loyal companion who’s ready to bond deeply with his person. He loves hard, forming strong attachments and giving his all to those he trusts. Mikai thrives on activity and will need a family who can keep up with his zest for life—whether that’s through training sessions, outdoor adventures, or learning new tricks.

True to his Shepherd roots, Mikai is quick to learn and eager to please, but he’ll need structure and consistent guidance as he grows. He’s the perfect match for an experienced dog owner who appreciates his breed’s remarkable qualities and can provide the mental and physical stimulation he craves. With a bit of training and a lot of love, Mikai will mature into an outstanding lifelong companion. If you’re ready to share your life with a smart, affectionate, and loyal buddy, Mikai can’t wait to meet you! He is up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and neutered.

⏳ We need to find Mikai the right home as soon as possible. Kennel life isn’t good for an active young shepherd like him, and he urgently needs a family who can offer him the stability and care he needs. His ideal home is one that understands shepherds and can give him a structured environment with plenty of activity. Mikai’s been waiting, and we believe there’s someone out there who’s the perfect match for this special dog. If that might be you, please fill out an application today at EHRdogs.org—Mikai’s forever home could be just one click away! 🐾

🐾 Friendly reminder: The cat donation bin at Eleventh Hour Rescue is for SUPPLIES, not cats! Recently, we found Pete and Petunia, two adorable kittens, left there with their liter. These little ones are now safe with us but still looking for a loving family!

Meet Petunia, the sweetest little chatterbox! This petite girl is full of personality—always ready to charm you with her affectionate nature and playful spirit. She’s as loving as she is talkative and would make the perfect snuggle buddy. 💕

And then there’s Pete! He may be a little shy at first, but once he warms up, he’s as sweet as can be. Pete loves gentle pets and would thrive in a home where he can open up at his own pace. 🥰

Our Kennel Manager is volunteering in Puerto Rico as we speak on a TNR (Trap, Neuter, Release) mission. It’s always difficult to release the dogs back once they are captured, but this sweet little Boxer girl is impossible to let go. Its not uncommon to find even pure bred “desirable” dogs on the streets here. We were told the locals throw rocks at her and abuse her, so she is understandably timid, but the cruelty doesn’t even end there. She is at the bottom of the pack she is with and they torture her as well with bite wounds and constantly dominating her. We can NOT leave her behind.

Flights back to NJ from PR are *extremely* expensive, and we have to consider vet costs as well. It is very possible she has heartworm, as many stray dogs do. She will also be in boarding with our rescuer friend until she can fly which is even more money. Please consider donating towards this girl’s care and transportation. She will be available for adoption through us soon and will be looking for a kind, loving forever home who will help her know she will never be harmed again.

We are also asking for your assistance in naming her, since this transportation would be impossible without our supporters. Please comment suggestions and share her. 🐶❤️🇵🇷

🌪⛈ Natural disasters like Hurricanes Helene and Milton that have ravaged southeastern states bring devastation to four legged creatures as well as two.

That’s why last month our brave volunteers put their lives on the line to deliver desperately needed supplies to shelters in the path of devastation and save as many furry friends as they could. 13 dogs were saved from harm’s way and brought to safety in New Jersey. 🚗

But, they haven’t all found their happy ending yet. Can you help us find their forever homes? Visit EHRdogs.org and submit your adoption application!

Meet Bruno, the happiest, goofiest puppy you could ever imagine! At around 8 months old and 45 lbs, Bruno’s loving personality shines with everyone he meets, from people to children to other dogs—he’s a true social butterfly who’s ready to make friends everywhere he goes.

Bruno may be missing part of his front paw, likely due to a birth deformity, but don’t let that fool you! It hasn’t slowed him down one bit. His playful spirit is unstoppable, and he tackles each day with boundless energy and enthusiasm. Bruno adores car rides, where he can stick his nose out the window and take in all the sights and smells, and he’s always up for an adventure at the beach, splashing in the water and running in the sand.

At the end of the day, Bruno’s favorite thing is to snuggle up with his people, melting into you with all the love and loyalty in his big puppy heart. If you’re ready to share your life with a playful, affectionate, and resilient companion, Bruno is waiting to meet his perfect match.
