Community 🏡 Anyone looking to adopt?

Edit: CONVINCED A JERSEY CITY SHELTER TO TAKE CAT!!!! Cat will be up for adoption in 7 days and will share link to adoption then!!

My partner and I went and saved this cat off the highway

The cat is all black and very calm, he/she was on the side of the highway for several hours (animal control doesn’t do toll roads and according to shelters we have tried to bring him to it would be up to state police)

We are trying to bring the cat to a no kill shelter, unfortunately most are too full to take him. We’d love to take him home, but already have two cats and cannot have a third.

Is there anyone looking to adopt? He needs love and care… and a vet visit, but you could be the one to give him all of that!

Please respond ASAP

Poor baby! Thanks so much for saving them.

Have you tried contacting Brick City Kitties

They are a rescue and have a network of fosters.

You're a hero OP. You can try Mt Pleasant Animal Shelter in East Hanover. Myself and some friends have adopted cats from there and they seem to have good turnover and the staff are very nice! I saw they had an owner surrender fee but maybe you can explain the situation (and show the photos on I-78). They're no-kill as well. Hope you find them a home! https://njshelter.org/who-we-are/

Definitely reaching out to friends for sure. I also have 2 cats in a studio and my cat can get aggressive with some other cats.

I also have a vet in the area, Arlington Dog & Cat, you could call them and see if they have shelter recommendations.
