10/9 - Did we mention these kittens just started eating wet food? 😅 These 3 kittens were found only a few days old and have spent time in a foster home receiving around the clock bottle feedings. They've now moved on to solid kitten foods, and can't get enough! Please consider donating both wet & dry kitten food to them, and those to come! Donations can be dropped off daily to the shelter between 9am-5pm or delivered directly to us through our Amazon Wishlist! Our address: 61 Bukowski Pl Bloomfield, NJ 07003 Thank you for helping our kittens grow strong & healthy!

10/8 - Update on the Daycare Dogs- These 3 dogs were found at a Bloomfield Daycare facility on Sunday, and we haven't received a single phone call from anyone missing them. They're older, crusty, yappy, and ADORABLE!! Their legal stray hold expires this weekend, and if they remain ours, they will be vetted next week and then made available for adoption or rescue organizations. Anyone with information is encouraged to call us at #973-748-0194.
