Trenton N.J. (May 12, 2025) — Best Friends Animal Society, a leading national animal welfare organization working to end the killing of dogs and cats in America’s shelters, released new data indicating New Jersey is on the cusp of achieving no-kill* with 89.5% of cats and dogs in shelters statewide saved in 2024—only 1,700 more pets need to be saved for New Jersey to achieve no-kill.   Of the 70 animal shelters in New Jersey, 52 maintained or reached no-kill in 2024 and an additional 13 shelters have fewer than 100 animals to save achieve this lifesaving milestone. Nearly 95% of the pets dying unnecessarily in New Jersey shelters are cats. New Jersey can achieve no-kill with the passage of Compassion for Community Cats Act (A3635, S261), which would remove unnecessary barriers that cost communities and taxpayers excessive resources to operate trap-neuter-vaccinate-return programs (TNVR) to manage outdoor cat populations.

by Dr. Whitney Miller (NAPSI)—With fall in full swing, pets and pet parents face new routines, shorter days and busier schedules, especially with Halloween around the corner. While celebrating with your pets and including them in your festivities, it’s important to remember how these changes can affect your furry friends.

Look out for signs such as pacing, hiding and excessive panting, and consult a trusted veterinarian for guidance on pets’ individual needs if they are showing signs of anxiety. Create a safe, quiet spot—a dedicated no-fright zone away from the hubbub—where they can calm down and reset. This may look like a crate or bed in a quiet... Read more →
