Working Cats Get The Job Done!
Adopt a cat for your barn, warehouse, winery, studio, greenhouse, place of worship, etc. Not only will you benefit from free and natural pest control, but you will be providing that cat with a job and a better quality of life!

Blueberry Sale
Enjoy locally grown blueberries freshly picked at the height of the season! You’ll be helping the orphans of the VAO while you are at it too! Click here for more details.
VAO Local Marketplace
Shop at any of these vendors and not only will you be supporting small, local businesses, but you will be helping the homeless cats & dogs of the VAO as well! Each vendor is giving back a percentage of their sales to the shelter. All you have to do is shop through the below links, and if asked, tell them that you are shopping for the VAO! Easy peasy!
Eat Locally!
You can support LOCAL restaurants AND your LOCAL, community animal shelter at the same time! Keep an eye on our calendar to see the local restaurants that are supporting the VAO with Dine-in, Take-out events. Great food for a great cause! That’s what we call a win-win!

Ways to Support Us
Building For A Pawsitive Future
As the community shelter for 26 municipalities in southern New Jersey, 19 of which are in Camden County, we receive strays collected by animal control or surrendered by residents from any of these towns. As such, many of these animals require serious medical attention, which we’re happy to provide.
Over time, our building has increasingly showed signs of extreme wear and tear and we simply don’t have enough room for adoption facilitation, storage, cat and dog meet and greet rooms and more. Over the years, we’ve used a “band-aid” approach to address construction and plumbing issues. Our “tent” city located behind the shelter, serves as a makeshift location for storing pet food and supplies.
