Cape May County Animal Shelter and Adoption Center
Our Mission
The Cape May County Animal Shelter and Adoption Center is dedicated to ensuring the humane treatment of all animals in our care while fostering a spirit of cooperation within our local community. We believe in providing every animal with a safe environment and a hopeful path toward a loving forever home.
Serving Our Community
Communities across the nation face the challenge of finding solutions for homeless pets, and our region faces unique demands as both a popular tourist and retirement destination. We are proud to serve as a vital resource in Cape May County, working to address these challenges with compassion and professional care for every animal that comes through our doors.
How We Care
Our shelter operates as a central hub of activity, providing comprehensive care to ensure our animals are healthy and ready for their new families. From daily kennel and cage cleaning to exercise and socialization provided by our dedicated volunteer team, we strive to maintain a high standard of living for our residents. We also serve as an official adoption partner of PetSmart Charities to help our animals reach even more potential adopters.
A Meaningful Partnership
We believe that successful adoptions are built on thoughtful connections, which is why we guide every potential adopter through an application and approval process. By taking the time to understand your home environment, we ensure a perfect match that benefits both the pet and your family. We look forward to helping you find your new best friend.
