Cats Available For Adoption
By Chris Lundy
TOMS RIVER – An adoption center with a free roaming cat playroom is open in downtown Toms River on Fridays from 6-8 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from 1-4 p.m. and also by appointment.
This is Cobbler. As you can tell from the look in his face, Cobbler is scared of almost everything. He takes a while to get to know people, but once he does, he’s affectionate.
He’s going to need someone with patience to let him come out of his shell. It would probably be better if he’s in a calm, quiet house. They are located at 34 Main Street (Route 9), Suite 1B. The adoption center adheres to COVID-19 restrictions and is run by the group called Lawyers In Defense of Animals. They can be reached at 908-9102522, or on Facebook at /lidarescue and on Instagram @lida_rescue.
