They say the best things come to those who wait… and many of the cats at ACAS have been waiting for quite a while! These friendly felines are ready to get to know what a real home feels like. That’s why currently, any of our cats that are spayed/neutered and ready to go home immediately, are a half price adoption! Visit the shelter and just look for the “I Can Go Home Today” signs or ask one of our helpful Animal Attendants. Pictured are just a few of the cats that are ready to go!

Meet Winnie!!!!

Winnie is a 3-year-old mixed breed who is full of playful energy and loves interacting with people. She is affectionate, intelligent, and outgoing. These photos show Winnie starting her journey as a community outreach canine. Winnie recently visited the Arc’s Adult Training Program in Tuckerton. The individuals in the program have intellectual and developmental Disabilities. They worked with Winnie on her basic obedience training and building her social skills. In turn, Winnie showered them with love and affection.
It was a fulfilling afternoon for all involved. Winnie was a rock star with everyone, gentle calm and engaging.
