Adoption Caturday: Toms River Shelter Offers Cat Adoption Special

TOMS RIVER, NJ — If you've been considering adding a furry friend to your family, the Toms River Animal Facility is offering an adoption special to make that easier.

The township-run shelter is holding a special adoption event Saturday, June 24 — or maybe Caturday, is a better word for it — with kittens offered for an adoption fee of $10 and adult cats at no charge.

Dogs aren't left out of the festivities; the adoption fee for the canine friend you've been seeking is $40, the shelter said.

The reduced fees will be in place through the end of June. Same-day adoptions will be available, officials said. If you like one, fill out an application to meet your new friend. If you like him/her you can adopt them same day, or schedule an appointment for a better time.

All cats have been FIV/Felv tested, dewormed, and have received their first distemper vaccines, officials said.

The adoption event Catuday is from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Toms River Animal Facility, 235 Oak Ave., next to the police station. Call 732-341-1000, ext. 7300 for more information.
