Ridgeway Participates In Animal Adoption Project

MANCHESTER – Mrs. Palmer’s third grade class at Ridgeway Elementary School participated in a joint project with All Fur One (AFO) Pet Rescue and Adoption Center. The students personified a cat that is available for adoption through All Fur One (AFO) and imagined what they would say to potential adopters. Students researched the felines online and even were able to gather additional information from the foster families who for the cats. The students hoping that their letters will help bring attention to the “purr-fect” cats up for adoption and help to fi nd their “furever” home!

All Fur One (AFO) is a volunteer-run pet rescue and adoption center located in Silverton-Toms River. Their 2,300 square foot facility provides a (temporary) loving home for rescued pets thanks to our amazingly dedicated team of animal lovers.
