All around our state, we face an overwhelming issue: an excess of stray cats in need of homes. It’s a heartbreaking reality that many cats are left wandering the streets without care or shelter. This is why organizations like Loving Hands are so crucial for our townships. This shelter rescues cats from local shelters, with a strong focus on helping strays from central and northern New Jersey. The work they do is vital in addressing the overpopulation crisis right here in the Garden State.
Many of these cats come from South River, which makes their efforts even more meaningful, as this is the town in which the rescue is based. Loving Hands goes beyond just animal care; they’re deeply committed to the community. Through outreach events like hosting Girl Scout groups to teach kindness to animals and organizing gift donations for underprivileged children during the holidays, they have a positive impact on the local area.
With a dedicated team of 25 volunteers, each passionate about their work, Loving Hands provides personalized care for all the cats, knowing their unique personalities. Please consider adopting one of their beautiful but needy charges.
Jessie
Jessie is a six-and-a-half-month-old kitten. She’s vocal and sweet, adoring hugs, snuggles, and everyone she meets. Anyone she meets is greeted by her sweet and infectious energy. She’s also great with other cats. With such an adorable face and lovable personality, what more could you ask for?
Whopper
Whopper has a unique backstory that makes him truly special. One night, a woman came into the shelter and warned a volunteer that if they didn’t take him, he would be abandoned. Whopper was then left in the cold, and after a long search and rescue mission, he was finally found safe. With his beautiful white and gray fur coat, Whopper is a special and loving cat with a tragic yet hopeful past.
