About Us

Camden Companions Animal Rescue (CCAR) was founded in 2011 with the mission to reduce the number of homeless companion animals in and near Camden County, New Jersey. From 2011-September 2025 we worked toward this mission by:

• • Adopting homeless cats and rabbits to loving and responsible families. 

  • Providing foster care for homeless cats and rabbits until a home could be found, or in rare cases, for the life of the animal

  • Trap-neuter-release of feral cats to compassionately reduce the size of the feral cat population. 

  • Educating pet owners about the importance of spaying/neutering their pet, and providing assistance to pet owners who desire this service but lacked transportation or the financial means to do so.

Camden Companions is entering "legacy operations" as of September 2025. Although we are not performing TNR or intakes of new animals, we are:

• • Accepting returns of cats that were previously adopted from CCAR and rehoming them

  • Providing sanctuary foster care for cats that were acquired before September 2025 who are not adoptable due to medical or behavioral reasons

We are a no-kill rescue; we do not euthanize animals unless medically necessary. Donations to CCAR are tax-exempt under section 501(c)3 of the tax code.
