Local residents can help by contacting the group at cpawnj@gmail.com if you know of an outdoor cat who may need to be spayed. (Note: If it’s “ear tipped,” it’s fixed). Volunteers are also needed for transport; some people do not have transportation but would greatly benefit from these services. CPAW NJ can also help with trapping outdoor cats and providing food and shelter. Learn more here.
To register, send your name, address, and contact information (both email and telephone number) to cpawnj@gmail.com or call 201-970-8115. You will be contacted to register your animal. Cats must be dropped off by 7 am and picked up by 3 pm on January 31. We encourage Montclair residents to take advantage of this service, but you do not have to be from Montclair to register.
