Gloucester County Animal Shelter Seeks Donations For Kittens

GLOUCESTER COUNTY, NJ — The Gloucester County Animal Shelter is asking for donations to help it take care of kittens that have come into the shelter.

“Between the kittens that come into the shelter and those that enter through foster care, the shelter runs out of supplies quickly,” Gloucester County Freeholder Director Robert M. Damminger said.

The shelter said it is in need of kitten formula, dry food, wet food, blankets and digital scales to help get the kittens ready for adoption.

“The kittens that come to the shelter need to be a certain size before we’re able to adopt them into loving homes,” Gloucester County Freeholder Deputy Director Frank J. DiMarco, liaison to the shelter, said. “These supplies assist in helping them grow to the required weight and also keep them comfortable while they’re at the shelter.”

Residents interested in adopting an animal from the shelter can fill out an application online at www.gloucestercountynj.com. Adoptions are only available to Gloucester County residents at this time.

The shelter is open Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Adoption hours are by appointment only Tuesday through Saturday noon to 4 p.m.

The shelter is still discounting adoption fees for the animals at the shelter. Animals 6 years old and younger will have their adoption fees reduced to $35. Dogs and cats 6 years and older will have their adoption fees completely waived.
