Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter's vision is a community
where there are no abused, abandoned, neglected, or homeless animals.

Celebrating 35 years of caring for homeless cats and dogs in new jersey

Meet Fluffy Cat:

Fluffy Cat joined us a little while ago, after having been left behind by her old owners when they moved. Because she was left outside, she came to us with her fur completely matted and tangled.  Thanks to a wonderful volunteer, who is also a groomer, all her mats are gone her long, luxurious fur will have grown back in soon.

While removing her mats, Fluffy was so loving she continued to nestle into our laps and of course directly into our hearts.  She is an absolute empress of a cat, who with her gorgeous calico coloring and soft, long fur, is well-suited for the cuddling and petting she so adores. Fluffy has a very regal, quiet, and loving nature which will, simply put, capture your heart and never let go. As much fun as she is to have at the shelter for petting and cuddling, we can't wait for her to find the forever family that will give her the love that she will surely return tenfold to you.

Before Fluffy can go up for adoption though, she needs a dental and we need your help to cover the cost of the procedure.  Donate now to help wipe away years of neglect from Fluffy’s teeth.
To find out when Fluffy will be ready for adoption, contact the shelter at 973-386-0590. 

Meet Renata:

Renata is eight years old, has “cherry eye” – a painless cosmetic condition, and is looking for a family to provide with unconditional love.  Renata was returned to Mt. Pleasant after 6 and ½ years because the toddler in her home was playing way too rough with her.  Because of this Renata would do best in a home without young children.  In exchange for that home though, she will provide you with endless hours of love and companionship.  She is looking for that special someone to take her on long walks and then curl up on the couch for some quality cuddling time. 

Can’t take Renata home with you, but want to help her become one of our many success stories?  Well then sponsor her today!  Click HERE to download a sponsorship form. You can email this form, fax it to 973-386-0773 or mail it to MPAS - Sponsor a Pet, 194 Route 10 West, East Hanover, NJ 07936.
