Application delays due to Sandy

Friends & Colleagues,

Due to the after effects of Hurricane Sandy and the following Nor'Eastern the processing of applications and the printing of CVT Certificates has been delayed. If you require immediate proof of certification please contact us at info@njvta.com and we can send you an email confirming your certification.

Executive Board nominations and elections have also been delayed.

Once full power and internet have been returned to all involved parties, we will work diligently to get back on track. Please visit our facebook page for our most current information.

Volunteer Opportunity!

When major storms or other disasters strike New Jersey, our state's residents, both human and animal, need our veterinary expertise and skills.

Whether it's dealing with shelter and stress related diseases at a temporary emergency animal shelter or tending to animals rescued from flooded homes, veterinarians play a pivotal role in helping to ensure that the pets and other animals in our community make it through this disaster with the least amount of consequences.

Currently in New Jersey, there are a number of shelters set up to receive animals impacted by Hurricane Sandy. A few of these shelters are in areas only impacted by power outages and are able to rely on local vets for any assistance. However, in areas that were devastated by the storm, some of the temporary emergency animal shelters are in dire need of veterinary assistance.

Ocean and Burlington need vet care. Monmouth just needs shelter maintenance. 

If you can volunteer even one day of service at a shelter located in Burlington, Monmouth or Ocean County, please contact Dr. Shari Silverman with the New Jersey Department of Agriculture at njda.esf11@gmail.com or call (609) 963-6904.
