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.

Two litters of kittens were brought in recently, but only a few are left! They love to play and cuddle with each other, and would be great to be adopted off in pairs.

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.
