Please help prevent killing of strays/ferals in southern NJ!

I've been working to help find new homes for about 50 stray and feral cats in southern NJ living near a wildlife preserve. If anyone wants details, please PM me. Apart from homes for the kitties, the project needs some financial support - anything will help!

Save the Animals Foundation, Inc. and the Animal Protection League of New Jersey — working closely with other cat rescue and wildlife groups—are relocating a colony of feral cats from their current South Jersey location to nearby farms, horse stables, wineries, and the like. (Both STAF and APLNJ support TNR as the most effective means to reduce the feral cat population, and use relocation only in very rare circumstances.)

These cats are currently being cared for by a community of fisherman and their families, but their proximity to a wildlife preserve requires that we move the cats onto private property. And as soon as possible! The preserve is home to several species of birds threatened or endangered in New Jersey, and the breeding/nesting season starts right about now! Any cats not relocated in time (the exact deadline remains unknown, but the pressure is on!) will be trapped and put down.

A donation page was put up: https://www.firstgiving.com/fundrais...lcatrelocation

If you can help - THANK YOU!

If you know of anyone in NJ, DE, MD, or eastern PA that might be able to provide a home for some of them (we want to move them in minimums of two), again, please PM me.

Just the standard rule we have to post, but good luck on saving the strays and ferals!!

We will help in every way possible with our knowledge and support, but as many of us have multi-cat households and work with local rescue groups, monetary support is not always possible to causes or people we do not personally know. Members are allowed one posting in the SOS forum for each organization. Repeated postings for the same cause or organization will be deleted.

Laurie, first of all, thank you for your passion for the ferals and strays. You are making a huge dent in the cat over-population in your area with all of the trapping you are doing and especially with this new huge undertaking. I certainly hope you, STAF and APLNJ can safely relocate these cats and pray that people out in NJ open up their hearts, homes or barns to these cats. Much luck and please keep updating here on the progress. You are a saint to the cats that they can all be saved

Laurie, many thanks for all your hard work on behal of the ferals. Your compassion and dedication are an inspiration! I'll definitely spread the word. Sending many vibes for the safe relocation and adoption of the cats.

Thanks Eileen!
