Less than 48 hours remain before loving housecats are taken from their home and euthanized.

Rescue Groups Needed

Foster Homes Needed

Individuals Needed

If several people take just one or two, they can be saved.

 

PLEASE CROSS POST TO ALL ANIMAL PEOPLE AND ORGANIZATIONS THAT YOU MAY BE IN CONTACT WITH.

 

Details:

 

An urgent situation has come up involving 36 cats in a Dunellen residence.  The woman who owns them, who has been on the fringe of rescue for a few years, has suffered an extreme mental breakdown.  This information just comes to us (friends who have worked with her in the past) and we are told that a distant family member has already stepped in and will be putting the woman in the hospital on Tuesday, September 26.  The relative has arranged for animal control to come to the house to take the animals on Wednesday morning, September 27. 

 

This is urgent—these animals are rescued, well-adjusted, loving, friendly pets who are used to being loved and cared for.  Used to sleeping in their owner’s bed, and used to giving and receiving affection.  The woman’s compromised state has just come to the attention of people who are willing to help; however, this news comes at the height of kitten season, where everyone who is capable is overextended without being allotted more time.

 

There is no time for photos right now—we have done the best we could to at least get descriptions of some of the most adoptable animals, which the woman was lucid enough to describe to us.  We are hoping that you can see thru the print on the page to the eyes and faces that need you to reach out to them.  They are as follows:

 

Gumby:  Female, light gray long-haired cat, very sweet—starts kneading her feet at the sight or voice of a visitor.  Age 7 or 8 years.

 

Honey—4 years old…just a kitten when rescued, and for her to endure such an end is unjust.  She is a lovely white patch calico cat, extremely sweet and affectionate…kisses her owner on the lips and nose.

 

Sugar—a tortie lapcat, age 3 to 4 years.

 

Red—DSH Orange male tabby cat—handsome lump of loving!

 

Brian—Orange cat with white bib and white feet…extremely friendly and lovable.

 

Another male orange tabby there, about 5 years old, who is a mushpot—I couldn’t get the name from the voice mail I received—super friendly and loves to headbutt.  5-years old and has crumpled ears from past neglected ear problems before rescue.

 

Midnight—Longhaired black cat rescued from a cruelty case in Dunellen a few years ago.  Age 4 to 5 years, friendly and so affectionate.  Female I think…

 

Itty-Bitty—Black and white female that has a tendency to be fearful of other animals, therefore inviting them to pick on her…she would be best suited for people only, and needs gentle reassurance and love—She doesn’t like to be picked up, but will come and purr and rub around your legs to give affection…she is primed to learn to trust someone who can take time with her. 

 

Blackie—Longhaired black male cat, again, rescued from the Dunellen nightmare.  Also shy, but well-mannered and keeps to himself.  Loves to sit in the window.

 

Benny, Willie and Muffin—siblings, all are gray/Russian-Blue type who are about 6 to 7 years old.  Extremely loveable and greet visitors—friendly sweet and playful—too good to be put to death!

 

Toby—Male, front declawed cat, extremely affectionate.

 

Rhett—Orange tabby, a little older than the rest at age 9 or 10.  SO loveable!

 

Angel—Longhaired black and white kitty, so loving, not shy at all, runs to the kitchen to greet her owner and anyone else who comes in. 

 

Molly—female kitty…no other info, the message cut off here. 

 

There are more, but these represent the greatest part of the animals—most are friendly and well-adjusted.  All are adults who are spayed and neutered.

 

This woman had a breakdown and has been unable to care for these kitties…they are desperate to find homes—permanent, foster, or rescue organization.  There is no alternative for these cats unless several groups or individuals can step in—and there is no time to wait it out and see how it goes….there is today, Monday, and tomorrow, Tuesday, that’s it.

 

If you can help with any of these animals, please contact Kathleen at [EMAIL PROTECTED] during the day, or call 908-233-1502 after 5 p.m. 

 

Time is truly of the essence—picture your own animals if something like this happened to you.
