Hi … I am Milo, and a few days ago I was flown up from Ft. Worth Texas to find my forever home here in New England. We have no history for me, and I am a bit scared right now, having been through such transition over the past week.

I will need a slow introduction to my new home, litter box, and any existing pets while I settle in and become comfortable in my new surroundings.

The shelter is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon – 3:00pm, with no appointment needed to meet available cats.

Edna Mode
3 years old
Intact female guinea pig

Edna Mode is just as iconic as you remember–except now she’s an incredible guinea pig! Eddie will start off shy as most guinea pigs do, but once she’s comfortable, she won’t hesitate to show off her spunky personality. Due to her larger than life personality and diva-licious attitude, Edna is not looking for a cagemate, but may enjoy a nextdoor neighbor pig or two! Eddie loves to snuggle with her people and is excited to be a WFH desk buddy or Netflix pal. When she’s not snoozing under her favorite hand towel, Eddie can be found wheeking up a storm and popcorning around her enclosure. Edna is available from foster and is NOT in the shelter, so if you’d like to see about making her a part of your family, email sgoldman@mspca.org or come into the shelter to speak to staff to learn more.

If you think you are a good fit and would like to learn more, stop by our Boston Adoption Center. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 12pm-3pm – no appointment needed.

*Before coming to the adoption center, we ask that you have a housing unit ready, in case you end up finding an animal you’d like to adopt. Guinea pigs need a minimum 6.5 sqft wire cage (30”x36”) for 1-2 guinea pigs but preferably 10.5 sqft (30”x50”) for 2 guinea pigs and a minimum 8 sqft for 3 guinea pigs but preferably 13 sqft (30”x62”). Cages must have a solid bottom and more room is always encouraged!

Vik is a very social young rat, who enoys hanging out on shoulders!

Rats are nocturnal, highly social and extremely intelligent animals! Due to the highly social nature of rats we prefer to match them with homes with existing rats, or to adopters looking to take home two or more rats. Rats can be food driven (and great foragers!) making them excellent animals to train. We always recommend the use of positive reinforcement training with your animals, and are happy to provide more information on this topic.

We recommend providing a safe indoor enclosure that allows the rat plenty of space to exercise. The minimum cage size should be 2’x2.5’x2’, with good ventilation (no glass enclosures) and must have a solid base. Preferably the shelter includes multiple levels, with appropriate use of linens or paper bedding and lots of rat appropriate toys. Rats should never be housed with other animals, each species should always have its own housing.

The needs of each rat are unique and if you have questions about the right type of enclosure for the rat you are interested in, please let us know in your inquiry! We are happy to provide guidance and advice.

Meet 6 year old Benji! Benji is the full package- he`s big, strong, silly and smart! He is looking for a patient adopter who is excited about training using positive reinforcement to help him learn his best leash walking skills. Although Benji is able to navigate a world close to other dogs, he would likely thrive in a lower trafficked environment outside. Benji has the potential to have some calm, tolerant canine roommates or walking friends. Benji may be able to live with kids who are comfortable with a big strong dog! Benji does not have a history with cats, so any interested adopters should be committed to taking an introduction with a resident cat extremely slowly!

If Benji sounds like the dog for you, please visit our Methuen Adoption Center Tuesday-Sunday 12PM-3PM.

Finches have a wonderful voice, and can be a joy to watch, but tend not to be a “hands on” bird. Native to Australia, finches can live up to 10 years with proper nutrition and care. We recommend that finches live in pairs or groups whenever possible.

We recommend a cage that is at least 27”x24” (Width x depth) with a maximum of ½” bar spacing. Cages should include lots of perches, trays for food/water and lots of toys for enrichment. As a result of finches being a “hands off” bird they tend to spend much of their lives inside their cage, so we heavily recommend investing in a very spacious cage with lots of enrichment.

The needs of each finch are unique and if you have questions about the right type of enclosure for the finch you are interested in, please give us a call! We are happy to provide guidance and advice.

* If you think you are a good fit, stop by Tues-Sun from 1-4 during our open hours! For more information on our adoption process, please visit www.mspca.org/capeadoptionprocess .

Meet our smushy and sweet girl Nelly! Nelly is a 5 year old dog who is energetic, smart, and loves her people! While she requires a little bit of time to get lovey with her new family, once she knows you she is sweet as a peach. Nelly is looking for adopters who are willing to give her adult-self adequate time and space to fully transition into her new home, as she`s been through a lot of change in a pretty short period of time. This means respecting her boundaries, and taking it slow while she gets to know everyone in the home.

Bonus: Nelly appears to be house-trained already, but adopters should understand that in a new setting it might take her some time to always make the mark! Nelly is currently looking to go to a home where she is the only pet, but has the potential to live in a neighborhood that has dogs in it- so long as her people are diligent in how they go about doing introductions! Nelly has no known experience living with kids, but could likely do well with teens who are able to read dog body language and give her space while she settles in.

If Nelly sounds like a fit for your home, feel free to stop by our Cape Adoption Center 1PM-4PM Tuesday-Sunday!

Meet Hank! Hank is a handsome Lorikeet who is ready to fly off to his new home. He has a history of overplucking and so a relationship with an exotics vet will be a plus!

Lorikeets can be highly social (even attention seeking!) and have beautiful colors. Lorikeets originate from the southeast Asia archipelago or parts of Australia and tend to live in large groups. They can live up to 30 years with proper nutrition and care. They are nectivores and eat nectar, pollen, fruits and veggies.

Lorikeets can be very active, requiring lots of enrichment opportunities and can be wonderful training companions. They love to play with toys and will play with just about anything! Because Lorikeets cannot talk, they can be quieter than other parrot species. Hank does still love to make himself known though!

We recommend a cage that is at least 32”x23” (Width x depth) with a maximum of 5/8-3/4” bar spacing. Cages should include lots of perches, trays for food/water and lots of toys for enrichment. Lorikeets love to bathe and ideally will have the ability to bathe multiple times a day.

The needs of each bird are unique and if you have questions about the right type of enclosure for the bird you are interested in, please feel free to give us a call! We are happy to provide guidance and advice.

Introducing the ever-so-gracious and slightly whisker-greyed, Zoey! At the grand age of 20, Zoey is our in-house philosopher, specializing in the art of relaxation and the ancient practice of sunbathing. Don’t let her age fool you; she’s as spry in spirit as a kitten, albeit with a touch more wisdom and a preference for early bedtimes.

Zoey’s hobbies include seeking out the coziest corners for her naps, perfecting the art of the gentle ear scratch appreciation purr, and offering sage advice to younger cats about the importance of regular naps. She does prefer to offer this advice via Zoom instead of in person however, cats are not her thing and she would prefer to live without them.

Zoey does have hyperthyroidism that is managed with daily medication and has early stage kidney disease. A good relationship with a vet is a plus. She’s looking for a serene kingdom to rule over, where her subjects (that’s you!) will shower her with love, cozy nooks, and the occasional sunbeam to bask in.

If your home is in need of a dignified, affectionate, and divine feline overlord, Zoey promises to fill that role with grace and a touch of catitude. Visit Zoey today during our open hours and let her show you that sometimes, the best things in life come with a little bit of fur and a lot of purrs.

This group of parakeets are social, playful and colorful birds, that are looking for their next home! Parakeets are flock birds, so this friend needs to be adopted in a pair, group or go home to another parakeet!

If you think you are a good fit and would like to learn more, stop by our Boston Adoption Center. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 12pm-3pm – no appointment needed.

*Before coming to the adoption center, we ask that you have a housing unit ready, in case you end up finding an animal you’d like to adopt.

If you haven’t picked out an enclosure yet, we’d love to help! The Association of Avian Veterinarians has a chart on the minimum cage dimensions that are acceptable for housing the birds we commonly see in our adoption center. As a rule of thumb, get the largest cage you can provide—the bigger the better!

A few important recommendations

SIZE: Wire or mesh cages are preferred that are at least 1.5 to 2 times the wingspan of the bird in all directions. When a bird spreads both wings out, there should be enough room so the wings and tail are not touching any cage bars including top or bottom. The bird should be able to easily spin around on a perch without the tail hitting any cage bars including top/bottom of the cage. The cage should be big enough that the bird can fly with ease from the bottom of the cage to the top without the wings touching any cage bars or any other obstacles (like toys).

BAR SPACING: Make sure the spacing of the bars is small enough that your bird cannot escape! Select a finger or fingers that appear to be the same thickness as the bird’s wing. When checking bar spacing, if your finger or fingers (thickness) fits between the cage bar spacing, then the cage bar spacing is not proper for that bird (a bird could get harmed).

We suggest covering wire mesh platforms or bottoms with a layer of newspaper or other solid surface as exposed wire can cause abrasions to feet, as well as possibly catch and break toes and tails

Companion Birds should receive at least a half hour to an hour of interaction time with their human family; such as training, playing, and/or socially interacting.

Calling all heroes!

We’d like to introduce a very special cat named Muffin. He is 1.5 year old, and has a progressive case of FeLV – or Feline Leukemia Virus – which will shorten his lifespan, and we are hoping to find him a loving indoor-only home where he can live out his life. Despite his diagnosis, he can be social and affectionate with those he knows, once he is comfortable in his new space. Muffin would need to be the only cat in the household, or have feline friends that also have FeLV. Interested adopters should click the inquire button below to learn more and shelter staff will provide additional counseling on FeLV and answer any questions at the time of adoption.

More info on FeLV can be found here: https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4951934
