About Us
Our Founder
Jessica Gotthold started the National Foundation for Animal Rescue (NFFAR) in 2003 with a big heart and a clear mission: to save and care for animals in need. Based in northern New Jersey, Jessica's no-kill rescue organization focuses on giving homeless, abandoned, and abused animals a second chance.
With innovative programs like trap-neuter-return for feral cats and a dedicated Tactical Rescue Operations Team, Jessica ensures every animal gets the care they deserve. Thanks to her efforts, NFFAR has found loving homes for over 600 pets. Jessica's passion also extends to helping pet owners with medical expenses and educating the community about responsible pet care.
Her hands-on approach and commitment make NFFAR a beacon of hope for countless animals
