EMERGENCY!
The shelter has reached emergency status and is in eminent danger of closing its doors without public support. Please stop by & help save the shelter, which houses 250+ cats and kittens.
CLAWS is a no-kill, 501(c)(3) non-profit cat rescue and adoption shelter located in Augusta, NJ.
Founded in 2002, our sole purpose is to rescue and house stray, abandoned, neglected, and abused cats.
Everyday, thousands of cats and kittens are left homeless, with no shelter or place to go. Most of them are abused. It seems to be a never ending problem. We cannot take them all, but the ones that we do are given proper veterinary care, a clean, comfortable place to stay, and the security of knowing they are being taken care of until they find a permanent loving, stable home.
CLAWS only operates on public donations and small adoption fees ($40/cat). We are a private shelter and do not get state funding. Our adoption success rate has been incredible, but we are always in need of more wonderful adoptive homes for a wide variety of special, loving cats.
Located at 28 Pelletown Road in Augusta, NJ, our shelter is open daily from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
