The Big Exit Zero Information Page
Everything you wanted to know about Cape May’s peppy periodical... and then some FREQUENTLY ASKED Qs What happened to the Exit Zero Store and Cookhouse? They both got eaten up by the Exit Zero Filling Station monster, a super-exciting project right across the road from our old place. It’s a gas station, convenience & merchandise store and restaurant! Oh, and it’s where our publishing office is, too. Just look for the big EXIT ZERO sign on the side of the building. Why are you no longer offering subscriptions? Too many people were either receiving their issues very late or, in some cases, not at all. That’s all down to the vagaries of sending by bulk mail, which was our only option, unless you want to pay $100 to get EZ delivered first-class (some people actually HAVE signed up). Please note that you can still subscribe to the color issues — $25 for three issues. Call 609-770-8479 to order, or visit ezstore.us. What’s the deal with beach balls, and where did they come from? They were invented in California in 1938 but didn’t become popular until the 1960s, due largely to the beach movies starring Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon.

On The Wild Side
Local Landmark
Last weekend, Madison’s Bakery on Beach Avenue decorated a cake for Oscar nominee Harvey Keitel of Taxi Driver, Thelma and Louise and Reservoir Dogs fame. The Times once called him the “coolest man in Hollywood.” Now he’s in the coolest place!
Congrats to the group of teens from around the country who this month, as part of the Student Conservation Association, spent a week rebuilding eroded trails in Cape May Point State Park. Ninety-degree weather was no match for these eco warriors!
Across the Way on Washington Street Mall is run by the husband-and-wife team of Chris and Margaret, enthusiastic members of a group of young entrepreneurs breathing new life into town. Their quirky gift shop offers nifty reusable bags, charming accessories and inspiring cards. We especially love the Lenny and Eva jewelry, handmade in Nashville, and the Olivina & Jack Black shaving products for men. (And we’re not just saying that because EZ boss Jack Wright needs a shave — hint, hint.)

Ramblings From The Editor
Ideas, idle gossip and occasionally important odds ’n’ ends... by Jack Wright
A
t night, after a long day at the Filling Station, when I’m feeling a bit like a zombie myself, I’ve been reading a comedic thriller called Exit Zero, a zombie tale by DC-based author Neil A. Cohen that’s centered around Cape May. “Admit it,” reads the book’s tagline, “didn’t you always think the zombie apocalypse would begin in New Jersey?” Not sure about that, but anyway... The plot is one of scientific research gone awry. At first, animal stem cells are used to create a meat-like product that could potentially cure world hunger while ameliorating the factory farm industry’s impact on the planet. But when human stem cells are brought into the mix, zombies are the by-product. Getting over the bridge to Cape May becomes the only chance of survival for a group that includes a soldier, a scientist and a mobster. It’s the kind of genre fiction that’s meant more as an escape for your brain than a challenge to it — I mean, it was blurbed by Snooki of Jersey Shore. And it
ball in the early 70s. We’re lucky to be in this place, abuzz with creative people doing creative things... even if this DOES end up as ground zero for the zombie apocalypse. As a born-and-bred Scotsman, I’m ashamed to admit that I didn’t start drinking whisky until my mid-40s. My only previous experiences with the brown stuff was a decade or more of drinking bourbon and coke, inspired by the cops in NYPD Blue, my favorite show at the time. It took a doctor to get me off bourbon and coke (too much sugar in both) so I switched to vodka and tonic for a few years before finally turning into a proper Scotsman and taking up whisky. Why am I telling you this? Because I’m really excited that Nauti Spirits, a distillery on our doorstep, is releasing their first whiskey (Irish and American has the ‘e’ in whiskey) on Labor Day Weekend. The release of Plundered will be celebrated with a weekend that includes a pig roast, oysters, music and games. Nauti Spirits, at 916 Shunpike, is a super-cool space run by super-cool people. See you there!
³
HAS been an escape for me… we just had one of those nights at the restaurant that tests every fiber of your being. But that doesn’t mean it’s not been a fun read that we will likely sell at our store —with a title like that, how could I not? I’m impressed when I see how many novels this little island has inspired — from horror to mystery to romance — but I’m not surprised. Cape May has always been a haven for makers and creators — artists helped save the town from the wrecking

Every week, we visit a local bar/restaurant to get the inside scoop from the person slinging the drinks. This week, Gabrielle Adams, Carney’s new bartender, is up. How long have you been bartending? Five years. But I started at Carney’s only a few weeks ago. Favorite drink to make? A mango margarita. What’s your bartending pet peeve? When Katie interviews me at the bar when I’m trying to work! Sorry! Biggest tip ever? $100 and a phone number from a cute customer. Did you call? I didn’t.
BEER OF THE WEEK
WINE OF THE WEEK
Cape May Brewing Co Mop Water - ABV: 7.30% Chief Mop Man mandated a beer brewed with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, and a load of real vanilla. Combining these spices with the flavors of German malts creates a brown ale perfect for cool autumn evenings and bitter winter nights.
Sunset Liquors Forty Ounce Muscadet 2016 French Wine - $14.99 Hints of citrus come forth on the subtle nose, while a blast of lemony acidity on the palate upon first sip. A dash of sea salt accompanies the tart fruit, giving way to a clean finish. Pairs well with oysters.

Produce Report After chatting with local farmers, we were informed that lima beans are in season. Did you know that lima beans contain linamarin, and should never be consumed raw. Linamarin releases a cyanide compound whenever the coat of a lima bean seed is opened. But dont fret! Cooking deactivates this compound, making it safe to eat!

E
very week, the Exit Zero crew goes for lunch (or dinner or, maybe even on occasion, breakfast) at one of Cape May’s excellent dining establishments. Then we give you the skinny on what we ate, what we talked about (or some of what we talked about) and who spat their drink from laughing too hard. (Or who didn’t get the joke — womp, womp.) Where we ate: The Washington Inn wine bar. The server: Anne from West Belfast. She’s been in the US for 19 years, and last week was the first time she waited on a table who placed their order entirely via charades. It’s all fun and games until a mimed duck is mistaken for a chicken. When Jack tried steamrolling over the rest of us while placing our own order, Anne called him a “dictator.” Someone give this woman a raise! The conversation: First, we talked about [CENSORED] involving [REDACTED]. Then, hoo boy did we discuss [NOT FIT FOR PRINT]. Finally, we moved on to a [TOTALLY OFFENSIVE] explanation of [OH MY GOD YOU CAN’T TAKE US ANYWHERE]. The food: To start, we ordered a super-fresh avocado and crab crostini, melt-in-your-mouth short rib tacos, and a delightful seared tuna dish. “I think that’s Israeli couscous with the tuna,” Diane said. “Why’s it gotta be Israeli?” replied Katie, whose role as the PC police would be more believable if she hadn’t yelled: “cute lesbians!” out the car on the drive over, forgetting her window was down. We finished up with the braised lamb cavatelli pasta plus a chargrilled burger and fries. The sneeze: A woman standing near our table sneezed and Jack did NOT, as is typical, tell her to shut up. Instead, he politely said: “God bless you.” Remarked Colleen: “Well that was traumatizing.” The great story: “Hey!” said Colleen. “Did you hear that our paper straw supplier at the Filling Station, Aardvark, has been purchased by — get this — Hoffmaster, our napkin supplier!?” [Moment of silence in which everyone stared at Colleen, waiting for the punchline]. “Gee,” replied Jack. “That’s a GREAT story, Colleen.” [Cue uproarious laughter at Colleen’s expense.] The dessert: The fromage blanc. According to Anne, it’s best served with a sweet after-dinner drink. Jack replied: “That’s kind of like Diane and I — nothing special when we’re apart, but mind-blowingly orgasmic together.” And who says romance is dead? The apology: Sorry to everyone who may have overheard our irreverent conversation this night. Next time, we’ll talk in charades.

Terry O’Brien’s legendary column is back! Social satire, shameless plugs... and general self-indulgence.
s I sat in the bathroom at 3:18am last Monday, body clenching, slicked with sweat, trash can in hand, making many promises to god, wondering which end was going to expel foul demons next, I couldn’t help but think about how much I loved my wife… It was a similar (but much worse, trust me) situation in late 1995/early 1996, when I was certain I was going to die like Elvis, alone on the toilet, when Cathrine burst in, despite my dire warnings, pressed a cold compress to my forehead and assured me I was going to live. Turns out she was right. Also turns out that, at that moment, I knew she was a keeper (even though we were in a hate segment of our love-hate early courtship). Since then, she has seen me through many other bathroom and non-bathroom-related hardships even as she has dealt with her own (me being chief among them). Cath returned to work this week for the first time in a very long time and I couldn’t be prouder. That she gets to boss me around at Exit Zero Filling Station a few nights a week
is, I’m sure, a little icing on the cake for her. [Editor’s Note: And we’re delighted to have her. She IS a keeper.] So never let it be said that, even in the worst moments of gastrointestinal distress, love can’t worm its way into your heart. And you, uh, may not want to read the previous few paragraphs while you’re eating. Sorry. Looks like we’re winding down a very successful summer karaoke season at Carney’s. We finished our kids and family shows two weeks ago, and this past Tuesday was (potentially) our final Terry O’ke Contest
night. (there’s a chance we’ll be having one more on the 28th, stop by to find out!) While the kids and family shows were of the hit-or-miss variety, the night shows, of which I have hosted eight thus far, were among the 10 busiest shows I’ve ever hosted (Boiler Room Kiddy O’ke nothwithstanding; those were ALL bananas). The crowds were massive and, in general, very well-behaved (I only endured a handful of f-bombs and one very angry family that SWEARS TO GOD I didn’t call their name when I actually called it about five times but they just didn’t remember the silly group name they gave me… oh well). Prodigal singer Dave Mansuedo, returned last week to thrill the crowd with his epic rendition of “Don’t You Forget About Me”. Dave is just one of the dozens of plusplus singers who graced the Carney’s Karaoke stage this summer — Andre the Vocal Giant, Marissa Kashi, Pam and Mike DelFranco… all world-class. Next year maybe we’ll try to organize a grand final in which all the winners return for an all-out karaoke extrava-

ganza steel cage death match and chili cook-off. Who’s in? Since I moved here in 1993, there have been several constants — the North Cape May McDonald’s has been a model of efficiency, traffic laws are fluid Memorial Day-to-Labor Day, and Tommy Caruso has tended bar and served me a drink. While currently employed at The Ugly Mug, Tommy guested at Carney’s last week, completing the Circle of Bartender Life. For years Tommy and I were friendly acquaintances, for the last several we’ve been just plain friends. And Tommy Caruso is a good friend to have. Just don’t tell him I wrote any of this or he’ll kick my ass. Plot Twist of the Week: In the battle of Kurt Seer vs Chris Bezaire, it turns out that Kurt was the good guy all along! Chris is still handsome as all get out (and holds those sweet, sweet 76ers tickets), but something of an evil mastermind. Chris, along with Liam Miller (bartender, Cabanas) headlined a group of karaoke judges that also included Jackson Carney, whom I did not know existed until he came in to judge karaoke last Tuesday. I would mention how much he resembles the good-looking kid who played the werewolf in the Twilight movies if he hadn’t dropped his sweat-soaked paper towel on my karaoke table. And let me tell you something — those Twilight movies? Not half-bad. Rob King, younger (and handsomer) brother of Stellar Mojo frontman (and longtime friend) Jon King was working the door at Carney’s and is heretofore known as Prince (the little king). I so decree it. Did I correctly use heretofore in that sentence? Thank You of the Week: To Gavin (son) and Gina (mom) Bronson, who attended kid’s karaoke, where Gavin made a point of telling me how much he enjoyed seeing my sons Owen (Prince Faarquad) and Jackson (the Big Bad Wolf) in Shrek, the
August 23, 2018 2018 LCMR high school musical. What can I say? Kid’s got great taste. Speaking of great taste (segue alert!), have you been to the Exit Zero illing Station yet? I’m about six shifts in as a server and I have to tell you... this stuff’s good. It’s probably most widely known as a curry place (only one within 40 miles) but, if you don’t like curries, don’t let that scare you. The burgers are ridiculously good (one’s even called The Ridiculous Burger) and the dogs are equally, stupidly good (bonus: get the Rudy Dog and $1 goes to Animal Outreach). There’s also a lobster and crab pot pie (not shrimp, as I insisted to Chris Nagle) and some mac and cheese options that are off the charts. I wish I could individually thank the dozens of customers who’ve specifically mentioned how happy they are to see me at EZFS and back in the pages of Exit Zero… but I was too busy serving to take notes. So all I can say is thanks! I look forward to serving you at your table and breaking your balls in print. (Just be sure to tip before you read the column…) Clip and Save Paragraph Of The Week: The Credibles (my new band) makes its debut Saturday, September 22 at 8pm. The following night the Love Me Dudes drop a surprise Beatles Night, also at 8pm. On Sunday October 8 (Columbus Day Weekend) The Strangers drop in for a night of Billy Joel music, 8pm. And The Credibles return on Saturday, October 27 for the big Halloween party at 9pm! All at Cabanas Beach Bar & Grille! The Undertow Players are also scheduled to return to Iron Pier Craft House with a new show, The Mostly Dead, a rom-zomcom, on Thursday, October 25. Dinner seating begins at 630pm. More details on these projects later, but figured you’d want to put them in your calendars now, because I know your lives revolve around me. ’Til next week, don’t get caught in The Undertow.

Doughnut Ambush Of The Week
Every week, we hit some lucky people up with a warm bucket of doughnuts from RSK! We are always looking for ways to bring good cheer and happiness to the streets of Cape May — hence our latest pay-it-forward ploy... the Doughnut Ambush! Every week, our photographer walks the streets armed with a bucket of doughnuts, courtesy of Joe and Lisa of RSK Doughnuts, on Carpenters Lane. There are about 40 mini doughnuts in here. It’s quite the treat. You can buy one at RSK. Perfect for the beach, or in front of the fire, drinking coffee and watching a movie. This week’s winner is Michael Wilson a truck driver from the Villas who is currently working. So who would he most like to share this bucket with? His wife. Brownie points!

The Old Fogey
W
Ah, those good old Cape May days... by Jackson D’Catur
e seem to have lost several Shoebies, and that never goes down well with the city accountants, though they understand there is “wear and tear” on our visitors. Plus, out of an annual 1.25 million outof-towners who visit, not all leave in the same hale and hearty state they arrived. In fact, every year, 76 per cent of Shoebies depart between five and 75lbs heavier (the latter is, of course, due to the wildly popular and totally secret — until now — saltwater taffy eating contest, where the winner receives not just a gold stomach pump but one million dollars in doubloons from Captain Kidd’s lostish treasure). One thousand or so stay on to open whimsical small businesses and be part of our unique community (of those, 989 are driven insane by spring), a dozen are obliged to stay on and work off the punishment for their crimes (usually public urination, brawling or that unique Cape May crime, “being annoying”) by painting homes, picking cigarette butts from the beach and collecting Cape May diamonds for export to the shady and lucrative
international black market in fictional gems. Another handful find fame in Carney’s wet T-shirt contests and go on to compete worldwide in such events. And anywhere between 10 and 104 tend to fall prey to our small but remarkable population of wild animals, homicidal maniacs and Irishmen. Also, there are the 10 Shoebies allowed under law to be diverted to worthwhile ritual sacrifices to ensure such things as the sun coming up in the morning, the next crop being a bumper one, and no tax ever being successfully collected from this city.
But this year we seem to have “misplaced” a small number of visitors. And by “misplaced” I mean we have found a few gnawed sneakers, and shreds of XXXL tees bearing such artwork as a bear wearing a motorcycle jacket and a flying helmet, standing against an American flag. And Garfield (it is illegal to wear the resemblance of that cartoon cat, bring books of its cartoon strip, or mention its name, inside city limits. The penalty is a good thrashing and a lesson in the superiority of Calvin and Hobbes). We have checked the usual sources — no rings have turned up in local meat products, and the local chapter of Santaists (they are wicked but dyslexic) have been using vegetarian sausages for their ritual sacrifices for some years, and this periodical no longer uses banks of chained Shoebies on a treadmill to power the printing presses. Which leads me to Young Albert and his suspiciously sleek gang of delinquent Yorkshire Terriers. They are sitting watching me as I type, and I don’t like their attitude. If this is my last column, you will know why.

Catherine Dugan’s guide to getting out there... this week, Airfest at Naval Air Station Wildwood
t’s easy, as you sit on the beautiful beaches of Cape May, to forget that there is evil in the world. Mostly, things are peaceful here. Yet, 75 years ago, Cape May played a critical part in the effort to defeat the Nazis. That effort left its mark on the community, both visibly, as in the digging of the canal, and invisibly, on the spirits of those who fought. Naval Air Station Wildwood (NASW) Aviation Museum pays tribute to those who served in that battle for the soul of mankind. This non-profit museum uses a former dive-bomber training facility to house exhibits on aviation and military history. With interactive, touchable artifacts, the museum teaches adults and children about the role of aviation in World War II, Vietnam and modern conflicts. It’s always worth a visit, but Airfest is the highlight of the year. From August 31 to September 2, it brings live swing music, recreated radio shows, pictures with Rosie the Riveter (BYOCamera), a beer and wine garden, food trucks and kids’ activities. Shop for unusual gifts
like 1940s-themed board games. For an unforgettable gift, consider a flight on a vintage plane. This year, the Collings Foundation is bringing its Wings of Freedom tour to the Airfest, complete with restored aircraft — a B-24 Liberator “Witchcraft,” a B-17 Flying Fortress “NineO-Nine” and a P-51C Mustang dual-control fighter aircraft “Betty Jane.” Together, the B-24 and the B-17 formed the “backbone of the daylight strategic bombing campaign of WWII.” The P-51 likely saved “countless lives” and “is arguably the finest fighter aircraft in the history of aviation.” These
restored aircraft offer a glimpse into the challenges faced by America’s flying heroes — and you can fly on them! A flight in the close, noisy quarters of a WWII-era bomber will give you a hint of what it might have been like for fliers years ago. Squeezing yourself into the ball turret seems impossible, even without anyone shooting at you. Walking across the plane in the narrow passageway is a challenge. The views are likely stupendous, and the roar of the engines exciting, but this experience is not for everyone — chickens like me can be content with a walk through on the ground. These once-in-a-lifetime experiences are not for the faint of heart or wallet — prices range from $400 per person to $3200 per person for the 60 minute training flight. Flights are subject to the weather, naturally. Call 978-562-9182 for reservations. The Aviation Museum is located at the Cape May Airport, 500 Forrestal Road. Admission to Airfest is $16 for adults and $10 for kids 3-12. For more information, visit usnasw.org or call 609-886-8787.

Cape May Stage’s new show “Lion in Winter” is reviewed by Veronica Scutaro
hristmas, 1183... Henry II (played by Roy Steinberg) brings the Plantagenet clan together for holiday frivolity in Chinon, France, including his wife, Eleanor of Aquitaine, the richest woman in the world. In the Cape May Stage production of Lion in Winter, Eleanor is played by Marlena Lustik with deadpan humor. Eleanor has been imprisoned by Henry for the past 10 years after attempting, oh so charmingly, to have Henry bumped off. Stir in three ambitious and cut-throat sons, all vying for the crown, the fiance of the eldest son (Henry’s mistress Alais) and the King of France and we have the recipe for the classic comedic drama. Lustik gives the comic relief. Her delivery is dry — hers is the voice of sanity in the insane maelstrom of these men who are scheming to “win.” The sons, played by Isaac Josephthal (John), Aaron Kitchin (Geoffrey) and Tyler Miles (Richard) quickly acquaint us with the character of each individual, their relationships among each other and with their parents. The audience sees their
The cast of Lion in Winter strengths, their weaknesses, their cruelty and their vulnerability. Richard is an enigma. He is tender and cruel, a man looking for love while waging war. Jeffrey brings to life a scheming middle son, craving the attention lavished on his younger brother by his father and on his older brother by his mother. And don’t forget John, who is spoiled, indulged and despised by his brothers. Overshadowing all of them is the ghost of oldest brother, Henry, still influencing the dynamic from the grave.
Alais, played by Amanda Forstrom, is gullible, the self-proclaimed perfect pawn. She is beautiful and convincingly brings the audience to face deep and betrayed love. Philip, played by Sam Saint Ours, the halfbrother of Alais and the King of France, brings to the stage the perfect picture of a young man biding his time, waiting for the Old Lion to die, but enjoying himself immensely teasing the cubs. Sam also takes us to the past through his masterful play of lute and recorder. The music helps maintain the air of a royal court in the 1100s. In 1966, the play premiered to critical acclaim in New York. The movie version came two years later starring Peter O’Toole and Katherine Hepburn, perhaps the crowning performance of her career--pun intended. This play was long overdue to be back on the boards. With the cast delivering strong performances of complex characters, this is one should be seen. The play, directed by John Gulley, runs Tuesday to Sunday at 8pm through September 14.

The Answer Lady
T
he Answer Lady invites inquiries from gentle readers on all manner of relationship quandaries, matters of the heart and ethics. If you’d like to send a query, write to info@exitzero.us. Or, simply sit back, enjoy a cup of coffee and contemplate the wisdom herein. Dear Answer Lady I had an argument with my neighbor a couple of weeks back about a tree that encroaches into my yard and has, in fact, pushed my stockade fence over. I felt he should pay for the fence repair. He told me to get off his porch before he called the police. In order to keep the peace, I repaired the fence and expected an apology. That has not happened. He now scowls at me every time he pulls out of his driveway. I don’t like animosity or confrontational situations. Do you think I should go over and try to smooth this? The good thing is they are summer people and will be gone by the end of September. — Fenced In Dear Fenced In No, you should not go over and “try
Wise answers to perplexing questions
to smooth” it. There is no smoothing with angry beavers. It just makes them angrier and simultaneously delighted that you are intimidated. There are ordinances regarding such issues and you may want to educate yourself because The Answer Lady assumes the tree will continue to encroach. Visit the code enforcement office and ask what the options are. In the meantime, visit Cape Island Gardens and buy yourself a pretty fall plant to offset the negative juju that your neighbor has imposed on you.
Dear Answer Lady I am a junior in high school and am thinking about running for student council. I am not the most popular girl in the class, but I’m not disliked either. I might have a chance if I am well organized but my question for you is — what if I lose? It would be so humiliating. I’m not sure I could face that. — Wannabe Dear Wannabe How brave to throw your hat in the ring. The Answer Lady does not think you will lose even if you do. The learning experience of running for office is invaluable and will serve you well the rest of your life. The very fact that you want to serve is a win and you need to be in that mindset because a positive attitude will carry you through this election and other competitive life situations. If you were an athlete, you would know that defeat is part of the game — politics is no different. But, you need a nice outfit to boost your confidence. Go to Caroline’s Boutique. She will have just the thing to send you on your way to success.

Bird Droppings
I
Dispatches from the nation’s birdwatching capital… by Seymore Thanu
t’s migration time for real. All over the northeast, from the Arctic to the Boreal Forests, birds and butterflies are fattening up for the journey ahead. Here in Maine, where this column is being written, hermit thrush are busy flipping leaves in search of succulent insects. In the skies over Bar Harbor, common nighthawks are engulfing insects — dragonflies, moths and flying beetles. There are not as many nighthawks as there were in my youth. Back when every other car on the road was a VW Beetle, during the last half of August, all across North Jersey you could sit out on porches and watch wave after wave of these blade-winged nightjars wheel overhead. On good nights, I’d tally a thousand or more. Now you’re lucky to see half a dozen. What happened? It’s uncertain, but it is known that large flying insect numbers are declining. The reason for that is likewise uncertain. In Cape May, a few nighthawksare seen every fall from the Hawk Watch Platform. Although nighthawks are not real hawks,
we birders are equal opportunity observers. Even though nighthawks are mostly nocturnal, in migration they may be active in full sunlight. In fact, they are known to use thermals for lift, gathering in globular flocks. Now the big question. Why should we care about some obscure bird species that is declining for reasons we do not understand? Precisely for that reason. When ecosystems unravel, they do so from the perimeter in. If nighthawks are declining, what in the big picture are we missing and how, in time,
Curly Girls, Look No
might it affect us? This is just one reason to watch the skies. Birds have been augers for our species since we shared the bows of trees with them on the plains of East Africa. So heads up, humans. The future is being written in the skies over Cape May. On a more upbeat note, this autumn looks to be a good year for migrating monarchs. It’s been dry in New England and this usually means good butterfly reproduction. The season’s last breeders are laying their eggs now. It is this generation that will forgo breeding and instead use their fat reserves to migrate to Mexico. So sometime in late September or early October, under clear skies and northwest winds, this showy monarch of the animal kingdom is going to paint Cape May Point orange as tens of thousands take roost in the trees around town and the seaside goldenrod bends beneath the compounded weight of insect wings. Fall migration in Cape May is unrivaled. From butterflies to buteos it is the bottleneck through which autumn must pass. Heads up.

Enrich Your Life... Adopt An Animal
Three beautiful dogs from the Cape May County Animal Shelter and Adoption Center... call 465-8923
SISSY is a 9 month old black lab mix who was found wandering and brought to the shelter. She is a social girl who is eagerly learning new skills to make her transition to a home easier. She loves to run in the yard chasing toys and has beautiful leash manners. Sissy would be a wonderful addition to any family. Adopt today!
MIKA is a social boy who enthusiastically looks at life. He runs around the yard and continues that interest on his walks. Mika arrived at the shelter when his owner could no longer care for him. Although he lived with children, he would thrive as the only pet in the household. His infectious smile would make him a perfect companion. Adopt!
COTY is a 10 year old chow who found his way to the shelter when his owner passed away. He was severely matted when he arrived at the shelter so his look has changed dramatically. Coty looks like a shorn lamb! Coty is quiet and polite in manner. He would make an excellent companion in an adult household that is predictable and calm.

DOTTIE has been in a cage for 806 days!!! It’s time to set her free! Could this be you? Dottie is a shy girl who just needs a little time to adjust and learn to trust, and there is no doubt she will make a great furry companion. All she needs is a second chance from a loyal and loving person like you! Stop by the shelter and meet Dottie today.
GIDGET was a homeless mother who was found on the streets begging for food to feed her babies. She was scooped up and taken to the shelter and was worried sick for days without her kittens and noone to care for them. Finally, a nice man brought Gidget’s babies to her and they have all been adopted. Now it’s mommy’s turn. Adopt today!
TIGER-LILLY is the name her family gave her before they walked out one day. Because she was abandoned, Tiger Lilly has some issues with trusting people. She needs a patient companion who will comfort her with petting and shower her with love. She prefers to be the only pet and likes a quiet household. Could you be the one to save her soul?
