Meet Peanuts,

Peanuts is shy at first but is friendly and affectionate with people that he knows. He would prefer a quiet home without alot of foot traffic. He also needs a very clean litterbox(or 2) as he is a clean feline. He can be a lap cat once he gets to know you. Adopter would need a good releationship with their Veterinarian due to some of the conditions he has (can be discussed further to adopter).

Interested in adopting a cat? Stop by our open hours!

Koba is a very handsome, squishy boy who has a good history of living with
kids, dogs and cats. He is crate trained and house trained. And he is
ready to play a long, long game of fetch. Get ready! This sweet guy is a
bit worried and has had a tough time with some of his recent transitions.
He will need some time and space to adjust to his new living arrangements.
Good boy Koba loves people yet needs some help working on how to best ask
for that attention. His ideal adopters will continue his manners
training. At the shelter, Koba has enjoyed playdates with other dogs and
enjoys their company. His play style is a little boisterous so his dog
friends will need to match his energy level.

If you think Koba would be a good fit for your family, come visit him at
the MSPCA in Methuen Tuesday-Sunday 12PM-4:30pm.

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.

Worried about ticks and flies around your barn this summer? Our guinea fowl can help! We have several male guinea fowl available for adoption and they are experts at eating up any and all insects around your property. They are a bit shy and skittish around people, but get along with each other very nicely and have easily coexisted within a mixed flock of roosters and hens. They have stunning feathers and a very distinct voice when they get all riled up. They are a super entreating bunch who love to zoom around in their outdoor enclosure and perch up high in the sunshine.

Winter is our low-riding, beefy pittie girl. This pretty pittie walks well
on a leash and has a good history living with children. She loves kids yet
she can get nervous meeting new adults, especially men. In her previous
life, Winter was not exposed to much outside of her home so the world can
be big and scary. Her new adopters will need to give her the time and
space to settle in and find her brave. Winter could live with a calm dog
friend. In fact, Winter is sometimes a little less scared when she has a
dog buddy by her side. And she says a big no thank you to living with
cats. Finally, Winter is house trained, although she might need a quick
refresher after living at the shelter. Do you want to meet Winter? Visit
the MSPCA at Nevins Farm in Methuen Tuesday-Sunday 12PM-4:30PM.

Spirit cats are very shy with people, and live in your home but are rarely seen – hence their name. They are cats who coexist in your home, and sometimes may grant you the opportunity to touch them – or they may not. Despite being shy with people, spirit cats are usually great with other cats! They are used to living with many cats, and can make excellent companions for cats in your home. It’s not uncommon for a spirit cat to get used to one or two people over time, and those people will be allowed to touch them and they may even choose to hang out near you or sleep on your bed at night. They are a great choice for people with a quiet household, who want to make a difference for an individual cat. Patience and understanding are the best tools when welcoming a spirit cat into your home. It’s important to know that spirit cats won’t magically turn into a normal acting cat – what you see is what you get for a long time, maybe always.

They are a fine choice for situations where you don’t have a lot of time to devote to a pet as they don’t require a lot of attention from humans. They are not a good choice for a busy home, including those with small children.
