Meet Shadow! This shy boy is looking for a patient adopter who is able to efficiently read cat body language. He may need some extra time and patience to adjust to his new surroundings. Slow introductions and a predictable routine will help him feel safe and secure. He may benefit from a quiet room to retreat to when he feels overwhelmed.

Cholula and Tapatio were originally kittens in an outdoor cat colony. In their first year, they moved inside with a kind samaritan who cared for the colony. These sweet kitties are shy at first given their history of starting life at a distance from people, but they have been known to make human friends with plenty of time and space to grow their confidence. They could be adopted together or separately. Each of these kitties would likely benefit from having a confident feline friend at home, so if you have a resident cat looking for a pal, one of these hot sauce cats might be right for you!

Yue is a bit shy and will need time to adjust to her new home; she is looking for a quiet home where she can take her time settling in, and getting to know everyone.

Guinea pigs can make wonderful pets! They are very social creatures which means that they generally need at least one companion! Of course guinea pigs should only be kept with other piggies of the same sex. A pair of guinea pigs needs at minimum 10.5 sq. feet of cage space, or roughly 30″ x 50″ with a solid bottom, but more room is always encouraged! Guinea pigs can be quite noisy which can be lovely as long as you are expecting it!

More about Sophie:

I am an easy-going, mellow lady who is interactive and social on my terms. Prior to getting to my current weight I used to be more playful. I enjoyed dangly wand toys, and it is important for my adopters to introduce play back into my daily routine.

I should have a very slow introduction to my new home. I should start in one quiet room with managed hiding spaces, and gradually be given more access to the house as I settle in. My adopter should be prepared to leave me be at the beginning, and let me solicit interactions as I become comfortable.

A fear-free vet is recommended! I am sensitive for close handling. My adopters should be cat-savvy and comfortable reading cat-body language. Consent tests should be used.

My medical records are available for potential adopters to look at. I am clearly a chunky girl (I think I am just big-boned!), and my adopter should discuss working with a vet to help me shed some pounds!

The shelter is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon – 4:30pm, with no appointment needed to meet available cats.

Compatibility:
Cats: Possibly – no history. Use a slow introduction
Dogs: Possibly – no history. Cat-savvy, mellow, knows to give her space.
Kids: Older, quiet, cat-savvy

Meet Steve! This big handsome love bug is ready for a soft place to land and loving family! Because of their history, transitions are likely to be difficult for this dog. They’ll need an adopter willing to make adjustments to the environment based on the dog’s body language and behavior. They may take extra time and patience for the first weeks to months in the home, focusing first on adjusting to their new environment and routine without too many expectations, and later extending to learning about manners in an out of the home. Once you give him the time he needs to adjust, he is sure to bring endless love and laughter into your life! Come meet him today!

Steve is heartworm positive, and is available for Foster to Adopt while we begin his treatment.

While he’s still working on his manners, Grasshopper’s enthusiasm for life and his affectionate nature make him a delightful companion for the right family.

Grasshopper is looking for a patient adopter who enjoys training with positive reinforcement and has a good sense of humor. During his transition, keeping his world small within the home is important, using confinement spaces like a crate with an ex-pen around it. Ensure his confinement space is a positive, safe zone where only happy things happen.

If you’re excited about training and ready to offer a loving, patient home, Grasshopper is eager to become your new best friend and bring joy and laughter into your life.

Rocky is a rambunctious little meatball looking for a special new home! This young guy is very spunky and loves to play and go for walks. Sometimes he can get a little too excited and needs a reminder to keep his feet on the ground and his mouth to himself. Rocky can be a bit mischevious and has a tendency to get into things he’s not supposed to, so he will need a family who has a good management plan in place.

If you think this dog could be a good match for your home 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 to speak to a staff person regarding available dogs.

Preparing your home for your new dog or puppy ahead of time can help ease the transition for your new pet and set you both up for success should there be a dog that’s a good match! To learn more about how to make the first few weeks with your new dog or puppy the most successful it can be, please visit www.mspca.org/petresources.

For more information on our adoption process, please visit https://www.mspca.org/adoption-centers/how-to-adopt/

Please note, in an effort to keep the stress levels reduced for the dogs in our care, our dog kennel areas will not be open to walk through. Interested adopters will work with a matchmaker on staff to determine which dog(s) they’re interested in – and if we can identify a match, potential adopters will be able to meet those dogs outside of the kennel. Cat and small animal areas will remain open to walk through.
