MISTY A
LITTLE GIRL FROM CAMDEN THAT NEEDS HELP
One of our first friends in Camden was a woman named
Jamie. Jamie knew nothing about animals but knew she loved
them. She saved several cats off the streets and NJAFA
spayed and neutered them. She was a friend to all animals.
On New Year's Eve of 2006, Jamie feel over dead in her
apartment of a heart attack. She was only 44. Her mother
donated her body and gave away her belongings and called
us to say all of Jamie's cats were going to the shelter if
we didn't come and get them right then.
Our President rushed to Camden and got Jamie's cat. All
found a home except Misty because she 'swats" and doesn't
like other cats. We could not take a chance with adopting
her and she is our longest "resident".
Misty needs a surgery that is very delicate. Most vets
won't even touch this kind of surgery but we have found
someone we trust with experience.
Misty has developed a trauma hernia which is very
different from an easily repaired umbilical hernia. She
has to have a screen put in her to separate her intestines
that are bulging out. She lives in a very large area
completely by herself (of course with tv and tons of toys
so not sure what happened).
Check
out Misty's photo - her malady has not caused her to miss
any meals!
Won't you help us raise money for her surgery?
Poor
Hef.....pitbull
from Camden City, NJ that was in his own yard when a
neighbor decided to she wanted to "play with
Hef" and got bitten.
Hef was minding his own business and his owners
are good owners even allowing NJ Aid for Animals to take
him to be neutered
almost two years ago.
By law,
Hef had to be taken by animal control to Camden
Co. Animal Shelter where he had to be quarantined for
the last ten days.
Today, June 30,
Hef's owners had no money to spring him or
transportation to go get him. Kathy McGuire, our
president and founder of
NJAFA, took the owners to the shelter to pick up
Hef and paid the $l00 to spring him AND $l5 for
his rabies shot.
Poor
Hef contracted kennel cough at the Camden Co.
Animal Shelter, lost five pounds and is not eating at
all. He had to go home with antibiotics.
Hef's owners love him and try to do the best they
can. He may not live in the most
glamorous home but his owners do love him. They
could have left him there to be euthanized.
Hef is home again tonight.
NJ AID FOR
ANIMALS NEARING 500 CATS THAT HAVE BEEN SPAYED OR NEUTERED
FOR CAREGIVERS!!!
Thanks to our fabulous volunteers, our vet techs, Pennie
and Dani and our compassionate vets, Dr. Campbell and Dr.
"HR".
In March, 2008, NJ Aid for Animals sponsored a free
spay/neuter day for owners of cats in Camden City, NJ.
Then in April, 2008 NJAFA "rented" a space for their vets
who volunteer their time to spay and neuter more cats.
In May, 2008, one of NJAFA's long time donors who is still
helping us to save animals in Camden sponsored another
"spay day" at the same place for us.
In June, 2008, with money getting shorter, we got smarter
We searched the area and found another group that had a
mobile surgery van but no one to do surgery. So we
"partnered" up.
June, 2008, Atlantic Co. SPCA and NJ Aid for Animals
spayed and neutered 30 cats for caregivers that could not
afford it.
and have just completed our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY with our
partner Atlantic County SPCA.
In addition to our other program services, once a month
since March, 2008 we have been spaying and neutering feral
cats in the mobile van with our wonderful team of vets and
volunteers.
We are close to nearing our 500 mark for the number of
feral cats we have speutered and helped.
The caregivers of feral cats who are trying very hard to
work within the guidelines of TNR are already putting out
their own time, energy, money and resources to help the
cats that have to live outside.
Our program helps those caregivers who would otherwise
have to pay (even at low cost "clinic" prices), hundreds
of dollars to spay or neuter their managed colonies.
Neither ACSPCA nor NJAFA receive a profit and our vets and
vet techs receive no compensation.

NJ
Aid for Animals rescued Chance and two other pit
bulls from a dog fighting ring in South Jersey. It
was a daily roller coaster ride as vets struggled to
bring him back from certain death. His scars and
timid spirit are the sad result of a past full of
abuse. His love for people, belly rubs, fetch and a
good meal bring a glimmer of hope for a promising
future. Chance is currently recovering with foster
parents. They report that he is
doing well and is
coming out of his shell. He is learning how to love,
trust, and just “be a dog.” He is walking well on a
leash, learning basic commands and mastering fetch.
He has never shown aggression with food or toys, but
would still do best in a quiet home without other
animals or small children (due to his past and
shyness). He is definitely a snuggly lap dog – sized
just right – not too big and not too small! He’s not
housebroken yet, but he is almost there.
Please consider being Chance’s angel. He will shower
you with love and thanks every day of his new and
happy life! To learn more or ask about adoption,
contact Kathy @ 856-498-3978.
After all, isn’t everyone searching for a Chance?
