  OCEAN COUNTY – Local volunteers run shelters for cats and kittens looking for a good home.

  Jennings, pictured here, is a precious girl good with other cats and dogs looking for her forever home. Please put an app on this beautiful girl! To start the application process, visit Calling All Cats on Facebook.

  Calling All Cats is a cat rescue group made up of volunteers, some of whom work at a spay and neuter clinic. People would drop off unwanted cats. As a group, they save the babies that are left alone, the countless mothers that have had numerous litters and those that are losing or have lost their home.

  To help humanely lower the feline population, they spay and neuter feral cats and then find homes for the friendly adults and the offspring that have been born. The rescue works extremely hard to find the best homes for cats of all shapes, sizes, colors and ages. While these cats wait, they are cared for in safe, loving, and nurturing foster homes.

  This is Sky, an older girl of about 10 years old who needs a forever home. She had a tooth removed, which makes her stick her tongue out in a cute way. She’s happy and sociable, and when she purrs you can hear it from across the room.

  She lives at an adoption center with a free roaming cat playroom that is open in downtown Toms River on Sundays from 1-4 p.m. and on Fridays from 6-8 p.m. and also by appointment.

  They are located at 34 Main Street (Route 9), Suite 1B. The shelter adheres to COVID-19 restrictions and is run by the group called Lawyers In Defense of Animals. They can be reached at 908-910-2522, or on Facebook at /lidarescue and on Instagram @lida_rescue.
