Animal Welfare Association South Jersey's oldest and largest animal shelter, low-cost pet clinic and much, much more! NOTE: Our Clinic and Adoption Center have different hours.

AWA was founded in 1948 by a small group of community activists who wanted to address and help the issue of unwanted pets in our community. In our adoption program, we have dogs and puppies, cats and kittens, rabbits, guinea pigs and other small animals. We also have a pet clinic that allows us to further our mission to provide affordable, high-quality healthcare to pets in our community. You can bring your pet in for routine exams, vaccines, spaying/neutering and more. For more information, please visit https://www.awanj.org/pet-clinic/

Hi there, I'm Santa, a sweet soul with a dash of independence!💙🐾

I love making new friends and am always ready for a gentle pat or a playful adventure. My bravery shines when I explore new corners, yet I cherish quiet moments just as much.

If you seek a companion who's friendly, brave, and enjoys a good balance of adventure and relaxation, I'm your cat.

Hi, I'm Carrie, your future play buddy!

I'm a sweet, friendly, and energetic girl, always ready for a game of fetch or a good cuddle. I LOVE playing with my toys and what's even better is when my human friends play with me. I dream of a family to go on adventures with. I promise, with me, there will never be a dull moment. I'm looking for someone who can match my energy and playfulness. Could that be you?

Hi! I'm Toulouse, a curious and playful kitten waiting to go on many adventures!

I love greeting people with my sweet purrs and friendly nudges. When I'm not meeting new people, I'm exploring every nook and cranny of my temporary home.
Every day, I hope each human friend that passes by, may be my forever human. I have so much personality to share, and I’d love the chance to show someone what a wonderful companion I can be.
