The Hudson County Animal League is an all-volunteer organization whose mission is to promote the compassionate treatment of companion animals.
Spotlight On!
HCAL's Annual Dinner Dance!
It was an evening of awards, dancing, friendship...and helping homeless animals. Our thanks to everyone who attended our annual dinner dance, took out an ad in the event journal, or worked so hard to make the event a success - your support is greatly appreciated!
Adelaide Laurie was the 2008 recipient of the Cindy Lopez Humanitarian Award. Presenting the award to Adelaide were Cindy's parents, Cindy's friend Pam McCarthy, and Baxter, everyone's favorite pooch. 
HCAL, Assemblyman Anthony Chiappone and Councilmen Ted Connolly and Gary LaPelusa also presented awards to two Jersey City policy officers who recently broke up a pit bull fight. Their concern for these victimized animals is deeply appreciated by HCAL. 
The Kurt Eric Burnitskie Memorial Volunteer of the Year award was presented by Kurt's mother, Joan Burnitskie, to Joan Mackiewicz.
Mittens Needs a Guardian Angel
Mittens wandered into a church rectory and is now looking for a guardian angel. This handsome four year old guy has been diagnosed with feline AIDS. Since the disease can be transmitted to other cats through saliva and blood, we are looking for a home for Mittens where he would be the only cat. Mittens is a black cat with white markings. He's a friendly guy who has been neutered and is up to date on his vaccinations. If you are interested in adopting Mittens - or can foster him - please give us a call!
Feline Adoption Program for Senior Citizens
The Hudson County Animal League has launched a Feline Foster Care and Adoption Program for senior citizens.
All applicants will be asked to fill out a short application and have a brief meeting in their home with our adoption coordinator. After this process is complete and your application is approved, one of our fabulous felines will be placed in your home on a trial basis. If things work out between the two of you, you can choose to either adopt the cat for a nominal adoption fee or agree to continue fostering the cat until it finds a forever home.
Everyone deserves a loving companion who will give them unconditional love and a new purpose in life. If you know of a senior citizen who would be interested in our program, please call our phone line at 201 200-1008 and leave a message for our program chairperson Lorma Wepner.
