It's a crisis unlike anything they've ever seen.

The South Jersey Regional Animal Shelter is in the middle of a full-blown emergency. Since June 1st, a STAGGERING 138 cats and kittens have arrived. The number just keeps climbing.

These aren't your usual fluffy, adoption-ready pets. Many are newborns currently hanging on for dear life. From maggot-covered little babies, kittens with panleukopenia and ringworm, plus some terrified adult cats that are in severe pain.

Resources Drained; Supplies, Staff, & Hope Run Low

The shelter's medical team is obviously overwhelmed.

Supples are nearly gone. Every corner of the facility is filled with the sickest, most vulnerable animals they've seen in years.

While the team refuses to give up, they're stretched way too thin... almost to the breaking point.

This Isn't Just A Shelter Issue, It's A Community Emergency

The shelter is also helping manage two cat-overrun community properties, rushed a foster dog to the emergency room, treated a badly-matted puppy, and even took in a stray dog with some open sores. All of this in just ONE week. It's crazy.

These animals aren't being rushed in from far away, either. They're coming from your neighborhoods. YOUR backyards.
